Always go for the tubby kids!!
They're jolly, and squisshy and giggle when you poke them.
And they make a wonderful meal.
Whether you prefer them in a soup or sandwich, deep fried or sauteed, spicy or bitter, as a side treat or the main course, tubby kids make a wonderful meal!!
Can I help it if my mouth waters when a child passes me by? Those squissly little cheeks, all freckelled and sticky (for some reason or other children tend to be sticky)
They're chubby little legs wiggling past each other as they run, . . .
Good Lord that was wrong.

Rainy Day Smiles
Posted May 21, 2001
Today I want to fish.
It's an overcast morning, and everything smells beautiful!!
I have an affection for the rain, and the smell of the rain, and the relaxed attitude people have when it's rainy outside. It's calm and pleasent, not demanding like sunny days, that expect you to cut your grass, and clean your house and wash the car!!! Evil sun.
Today I want to lie in a boat, drift away, smell the good the world has to offer and pretend the word "obligation" had no definition in the English language.
(When I rule the world I'll be sure to change it's pre-existing definition promptly.)
Though there's one catch, I do not inteed to catch any fish. I think I'll live out that expectation, because I don't intend to use a hook, or bait, or a line. Well maybe a line, cause casting is fun, but catching an actual fish is too strenuous.
Instead, I have a fish game, where little plastic and brightly coloured versions of fish spin around in a circle and pop up and down.
And you hold a brightly coloured plastic fishing rod approximately 10 cm long, over these popping fish and try to catch them by dropping the end of the rod into their mouths when they pop up!!!
*In popping "up" the fish open they're brightly coloured plastic mouths, and close them again when they drop back, thus, giving multiple opportunities to be caught*
Sometimes they trick you and when you pull, you pull the rod right out of their mouths and you really haven't caught them at all, but it's all in good fun, especially if you name them.
So instead, I've come to the conclusion that I'm bringing my fish game on my boat with me and we'll drift away spinning and popping accordingly.
Tomorrow, I decide how to make a boat.
Today I'm off to the bathtub.

A birth, . . .
Posted May 20, 2001
I have a troubling fear of the cupboard underneath my kichen sink.
Wait, that wasn't an appropriate introduction, let me start again.
You see, I'm rather nervous about my writing, Douglas Adam's being my most favourtie author ever, and myself being a naive and much less witty person then he.
I found out the other day of his passing and spent the rest of the week compulsively cleaning my house. Not by choice, I still live at home and my mom decided it was time for me to compulsively clean the house.
I realized during this period of self analysing and the dangerous inhilation of numerous cleaning products, that everytime I had to fetch something from underneath the kitchen sink, I got pretentious and defensive and guarded myself from a mysterious evil that I believe lives there.
Perhaps it's because I grew up in an apartment building and the cupboard underneath the sink housed an entire community of cockroaches. *shudder*
To a small child, cockroaches are the embodiment of hell itself wrapped into an ugly hell-like bug.
But there are no bugs under this sink. There are however a ridiculous amount of plastic grocery bags, and lots of cleaning products.
Perhaps I believe something evil will reach it's hand out and grab my arm and pull me into an evil world where no cleaning products exist and houses are covered with accumulating dust for centuries on end.
Maybe not.
Either way the floor of the cupboard steeps inwards and it seems unusually suspicious and evil to me. I believe the cupboard has an alterior motive for this slant.
And in return I give it the "evil eye" when I walk past, just to let it know I'm suspicious of it's actions and I refuse to turn a blind eye to the happenings in my house.
Oh dear, slightly off topic again.
I don't yet know anyone on h2g2, but I'm beeming with pride to be a member. I've been telling people all day that I'm a researcher for the guide, and gloat in my superiority, even if they don't know what I'm talking about.
I hope I'll eventually have something worth "beeming" about to say.
