mary and her little lamb.

how nice! now i'm losing sleep! as if losing my appetite isn't enough! and i get to enjoy the full benefits of caffeine! now i have more hours in the day to do more things! and i can keep going about the world at large as if exclamation marks are appropriate! and my friend wants to be the first black pope! or was there already one i'm not so well-versed in pope history.

mary was a lonely child. she likes red apple skin. mary has no friends. she is happy. she lives in a house on top of the hill overlooking the town. when mary has got enough of hiding from monsters in her shoe cabinet and looking for leprechauns in her wardrobe she will walk down and pretend to be invisible. the boys are noisy. they like playing with matches and old leather balls. they also like booger-eating and mange-scratching. mary goes among the boys and the boys don't notice her because she is invisible. mary goes to mr. thomson the grocer but he can't see her because she is invisible. mary walks over to ben the german shepard but he runs off because she is invisible. mary is happy again. mary is so happy. she eats her red apple skin. she eats the booger. she eats the mange. little miss muffet sat on a tuffet eating her bowl of turds.

i used to write broken up stories like this. was just reminded of that fact. but they were more disturbing back then. if possible. or perhaps you just don't get what this one says. maybe it means something. maybe it doesn't. maybe mary's an acronym for My Ass was Ravaged Yesterday.

people learn languages from other cultures not cos of acceptance or even tolerance of said culture, i think. they do that just so that they can look down on these people in their own terms, and perhaps learn a few choice swear words just so that they can finally insult these people and have them understand what it is they're saying and to what reference they're saying what they're saying. yelping after someone who thinks you're just saying an elaborate 'good morning' to them is just not as gratifying as getting them to understand the exact anatomical part and the particular pedigree of whatever species of whatever gender it is from which they were begotten.
