space-oddity's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- snapping turtles eating easter chocolates for breakfast. solid milk chocolate eggs with a crisp sugar shell. "artificial colors (yellow 5; blue 2; red 40; yellow 6 lake; and blue 2 lake)." what is "lake"? why are they using so many semicolons? i'm sitting here typing with pants on but no shirt. this is something i never used to do. but i'm finding it more and more liberating to live by myself. and sitting around without wearing a shirt is just another slice of freedom that comes with it. i haven't typed in this thing in a while, but i'm finding it difficult to come up with anything interesting to say. i used to write about what happened when we went to the bar or about the stupid shit that happens at work. i guess i just don't find those things near as interesting as i used to. i charmed a snapping turtle on saturday. that's pretty interesting. i think. me: long, black hair. happy (i was that day). wearing an orange and red geometric print dress (though it must have seemed like a skirt to you because i was wearing a burnt orange tee over it). you: slightly grey and speckled. in a glass aquarium too small for your massive frame. .. i leaned down and stared into the aquarium right into your eyes. we must have been only but a few inches apart. you came closer and closer, and i was amazed to see how symmetrical your nostrils were. and you came closer. you smushed your face into the glass. if it hadn't been there, we would have butt heads. your skin looks so hard and rough, but pressed against the glass, it seemed soft. you started swimming towards me, smashing into the glass again and again. i moved. you moved. i stood up. you came to the top of the water, still swimming, never breaking eye contact. you were freaking me out. i walked away from the aquarium, and you were still swimming to get out. i wish i could have picked you up, and then i wish i could have taken you down to the river, but you're a snapping turtle. you probably would have snapped at me. the weather's getting spring-like, so we're going camping this weekend. i am excited. 10:57 am - 03.24.04 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
