  zoo was dismal... yet again, except for a few bright points: 1. barbara won't be here next week cuz she's going on vacation 2. i didn't screw up the skit too badly 3. it rained, although it didn't help the crowds too much 4. i got to see someone on tuesday at lunch ^_^ haha the zoo attracts more than a few stupid and mean ppl... here's some questions/attitudes you can expect: 1. is that a texas longhorned snake? 2. do bats come from rats? 3. is that frog/mouse/earthworm alive? 4. are the spiny lizards called spiny lizards b/c they have a spine? 5. ZC: excuse ma'am, but drinks/food are not allowed inside the discovery center. would you mind leaving it outside? mother A: hmph! *storms off and drags child(ren) w/ her* mother B: well then. why do you sell drinks/zoo at the zoo?! 6. mother: is that cockroach real? ZC: yup. it's a madagascar hissing cockroach... the largest of its kind mother: EWWWWW IT'S DISGUSTING *a second later* mother: come here *insert child's name*.
go touch the cockroach. 7. ZC: it looks like it's gonna rain, doesn't it? lady: well , it's not going to rain on us 8. adults have acted like they didn't know what they were doing wrong when they tried to help their kid steal a puppet from the play area 9. a teenager was dismayed when caught stealing two puppets from the play area *A: ahhh man !
* no wonder barbara is so pissy on mondays... i mean after 5 days of that ^ i would be too. oh FIY: the zoo it making it legal to sell beer on its premises... and while people aren't allowed to smoke... they blow their fumes on you anyway. apparently it's wrong for me to take a nap when i feel tired. it makes them assume all sorts of things that i could have done wrong. maybe i'll go on a hunger strike. that seems to be the only way i can get leverage now. ugh jane: yup i was still sleeping when you called at 6:30. and also i hope you've DLed the songs i told you to. rags: your music is at the store (sugar land). go pick it up or ask them to transfer it to another store. haha so much for my plans to go running today. when i went outside before lunch... it was blinding... and after i ate lunch... well you know what happened.
got tired (or drowsy? ) and slept for like 2.5 hrs before my mom yelled me awake. oh gawd... i think they may make me go to austin on friday after all. i've already told them that saturday is the earliest i will leave houston... and that i have no intention of meeting up w/ their college buddies... but how useless was that?!?!?
