We all want something beautiful. Man, I wish I was beautiful.

Am I the only one celebrating Paris Hilton’s jail sentence right now? I doubt it. You’re all dancing in your seats, I’m sure. And on a related note, “The Simple Life” is still on the air? I thought that crap was cancelled years ago. Maybe it was just wishful thinking.

I think I just fixed the emergency brake on my car. That pretty much makes me the coolest person ever, I think.

I think my monitor is about to die on me. It keeps flickering. I moved the very small magnet sitting on my desk too, and that didn’t change things.

The price of stamps is going up again. And have you heard about the forever stamp? It’s a stamp you can buy at any price and use, well, forever without extra postage. So if you buy the new forty-one cent forever stamp and hold onto it until the year 2357 when stamps cost five dollars, that stamp is still good and you don’t have to add extra postage to get up to five dollars. Whether or not stamps will even be in use in 2357 is another issue altogether. Anyway, If you ask me, “the forever stamp” sounds like the title to a really bad NY Times Bestseller.

So what this means is: I’m going to mail out some postcards to anyone who wants one. Email me at jane at teamdaria dot com and give me your name and address and I will mail you a postcard. It’ll be a good one too. Fo’ shizzle.

I have recently discovered that “fo’ shizzle” actually means “for sure” and not, as I had suspected, “for shit.” Now you know as well.

Regarding mail, I have yet to send Sean’s prizes to him. I have also yet to get his full address from dismarum. Thus, I am officially laying the blame on her and completely exonerating myself from any related responsibility.

The semester is just about over. Enter: mix of joy and sadness. Mostly joy.
I also finished my novel for this semester, and it’s something I’m probably more than a little proud of. Preemptively, I would like to say: any NaNoWriMo participants can hereforth kiss my ass. En garde!

I think maybe I should start wearing brooches.

Here’s something interesting: A man in the Netherlands built an ark based on the dimensions given in the Bible. There’s a short video of it on the website. Check it out.

Also, Ronald Reagan’s diary entries will be released in a book entitled, The Reagan Diaries. It’s set to come out on May 22. Vanity Fair has published excerpts of the diary entries in its June issue. CNN.com has also published a few excerpts.

Speaking of Reagan, the first Republican Presidential Debate of the 2008 campaign was last night at Reagan’s library. I have it on tape if anyone wants to see it, but if you’re like me, it’s just going to piss you off. I also still have the Democratic Debate on tape as well. That one’s much better.

Okay. Now I have to move on down my list of things to do. Finally I can start to accomplish things. I am teh win, as we say.

Peace, love, and justice for celebrities who break the law.

    See I’m kind of torn here. Half of me wants to stick up for Dismarum on this one, while the other half of me thinks that a plurality of prizes would be 8 kinds of cool. Another half really wants a pop-ice.

    Email me your address, okay? I was going to message you on myspace but I got distracted eating cookies and watching Law & Order.
    I’ll send you a package out tomorrow or Monday. I’m not sure if we have any pop-ice but I did think about buying some yesterday at the grocery store. I might have some pedialyte ones left. Ooh, that sounds good right now. Dang you. Dang you straight to heck.

    En garde!

    I’ll be participating in NaNoWriMo again this year (and scriptfrenzy in June). Maybe this time, I’ll even do some pre-planning. And some planning. And some post-planning. Just to be extra safe.

    Sean, I called you. You don’t answer your phone. =P

  5. Comment by jane | 2007/05/05 at 00:56:49

    Hey, this is not the time or the place to be making excuses.
    It’s already been taken care of.

  6. Comment by jane | 2007/05/05 at 00:59:07

    P.S. Ben, don’t make me tell you what you can do with your NaNoWriMo novels and your scripts.
    I wrote a novel, damnit!

  7. Comment by Sean | 2007/05/05 at 01:08:51

    I answer my phone all the time. I think the problem is that you don’t ring it loud enough. Definitely your fault. Somehow. Yeah.

    our family was pretty happy about paris.
    :.
    but that’s proabbably because we needed someone elses crapp to focus on.
    ..
    it’s funny:
    i read yur last line:
    ..
    “Peace, love, and justice for celebrities who break the law.”
    and really thought you were refferring to Reagan for a second there. HA!”
    [seein as he really WAS a celebrity first.....]
    .
    but that whole iran /contra thing was so long ago, anyways.
    and he really couldn’t remember the finer details.
    …..
    yur about to receive a real long myspace message.
    and i have THIS to say about that…
    “i meant to really just say: thanks”
    .
    but instead i sed a bunch of other “stuff.”
    .
    i should stick to my double colons
    :heart:
    .
    [i was joking about reagan. u know ME, he he he.]
    ..
    always stirrin up ye olde dust!
    [my mom is always accusing me of "DESTROYING HER AMERICA!"]
    .
    poor paris.

    yes: i BELIEVE, the proper conjugation: of the : ["for shit"] part of the sentence
    would be sumpinlike:
    :.
    fo shiznat, or somethin or other.
    ..
    a’iite my negro!?

  10. Comment by jane | 2007/05/05 at 08:57:56

    Yes, Sean. Blame dismarum. On this website, we always blame dismarum. It’s the Asian thing.

    Thredd: DID YOU JUST SAY “poor paris”!? DID YOU?! DAMN HELL DAMN.
    And “shiznat” sounds familiar. You must be correct. I think the h in shizzle through me off. Sure doesn’t actually have an h, but it does sound like one.

    Jane, the real race is to see who can get published first. My money is on you, but should I succeed, I’m going on a massive book tour, and I’m going to spend at least 6 weeks in your area, setting up camp at the places you frequent. Supported by an equally massive advertising campaign that will include tv specials, radio ads every 15 minutes on every local station, and billboards along every major street. It might bankrupt me for the rest of my life, but it will be worth it. :P
    Congratulations on finishing your novel, I hope to see it on store shelves everywhere.

    jane. have yu gotten any m-space messages? since u last sed yu did not get me long one?
    .
    not that i am rushing for a responce: i know how busyness can be!
    .
    but i HATE that the long letter was lost am now parranoid of all letters lost.
    .
    nowthis parranoia has grown into strange little parranoias like unknown hackers and things.
    .
    or random code/hackers stealing mine own identity and saying rotten things to all my friends under my profile name.

  14. Comment by jane | 2007/05/08 at 13:45:02

    Yes, I did get it. The past few days I’ve either been at work or in bed with a migraine, but I will respond. Probably tomorrow, okay?
    The lost long one is still lost, though. :( You know, we could always just use regular email instead of myspace. Gmail is much more reliable.
