-FLUSSH! Whee! Ha Ha Ha. -Mom, I'm done with my bath now. This one's tricky. You have to use imaginary numbers, like eleventeen... I don't need to study! I don't need to learn! I can always get by on my good looks and charm! Divine retribution, that's what! Homework, I command thee, BE DONE! What business is it of yours, jerk?! How rude. My dreams are getting way too literal. Mothers are the necessity of invention. I've been good all day so far. Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery. Childhood is short and maturity is forever. I like to say 'quark'! Quark, quark, quark, quark! What do they think I am, an engineer? The longer you wait for the mail, the less there is in it.

I like to verb words. I should be doing my homework now. I'm learning real skills that I can apply throughout the rest of my life...Procrastinating and rationalizing. Reality continues to ruin my life. I liked things better when I didn't understand them. Is it a right to remain ignorant? Quit resisting, you! I realized that the purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas. Obscure poor reasoning, and inhibit clarity. It is man's indomitable nature to scare himself silly for no good reason! SMACK!
