I had/am having a really good birthday today.

I am, it's true.
I woke up this morning
And ate strange Fiber One Poptarts.
When we went to Costco Sunday,
My mom was checking out the amount of
Fiber in them
And then Mrs. Perrin came over to us,
And gave me a hug, and my sister too,
But Emily couldn't really understand
How she knew her.
She talked to us for a while,
Said her daughter Grace only comes
There to "graze,"
(only on samples, I hope..)
And she left.
We went into Circuit City,
Which is going out of business, don't you know,
And I bought 30% off CDs.
I got into one of those moods
When I saw this scruffy puppy
Running around in the middle
Of some busy street
Without anyone chasing after him,
Just skittering around in between traffic.
I yelled at my dad to pull over and help him,
My mom said someone else would.
I just wanted to lend a hand, I felt just too
Warm and fortunate.
So that dampened me a bit.

BUT THAT WAS SUNDAY.
Heh, got off on a tangent.
So I ate fake toaster pastries,
And took a really long time getting ready,
And then hopped in the Rabbit (pun intended)
And went to school.
In the car, Fergie came on the radio
And my dad said she had a beautiful voice.
I giggled, she does.
I went to my locker,
And went to the third floor science wing.
I never have before, it was an adventure.
It's awesome up there, beautiful.
So quiet, deserted
With all these old science projects on
The wall from 2003.
No one is there, the varnish still makes the floors gleam.
There's this one window at the end
That looks out into the woods next to the school
And you can see a broken green plastic sled
On the hill where kids sled on.
Man, it was awesome, just awesome.
I recommend going up there sometime.

But anyway, today was just great.
Normal really,
Just recieving more cards than usual,
And books,
And posters,
And brownies,
And $o.60,
And multiple chalkboards wishing me happy birthday
(hehehe, elise <3).
I don't feel any older,
I don't think I'm supposed to yet.
I celebrated my birthday at 1:17 in Ms. Harty's room,
Telling Martha, but she didn't get it.
Might not have heard me or something,
But I celebrated to myself anyway.
My mom gave me this card on
Green paper
That had the same green on the envelope.
I asked her if she made it, she said she got it from
When the office at school
Was giving out free cards the nuns donated.
She had said it was religious before,
Yeah, I get it now.

So,
It's been a great birthday,
Made me feel all fuzzy and loved,
I think I'm going out for dinner later.
I've been thinking, Chili's?
I haven't been there in a while, we used
To go all the time over the summer.
I told Kyle during religion class,
He said that'd be a good pick.

Kay, well I'll conclude.
tu in piscinam habitavit
et vehementer stertiebas.
"You lived in a fishpond and
were snoring loudly,"

I can write really splendid
Latin sentences
When I take the vocabulary
From the back of my book.
