GOOD IDEA:

When you get those pre-approved letters in the mail
for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and
junk like that, most of them come with postage paid
return envelopes, right?

Well, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail
and put it in these cool little envelopes!

Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American
Express. Or a pizza coupon to Citibank.

If you didn't get anything else that day, then just
send them their application back! Just make sure your
name isn't on anything you send them. Heck, you can
send it back empty if you want to just to keep 'em
guessing!

Let's turn this into a chain letter! Eventually, the
banks and credit card companies will begin getting all
their stuff back in the mail.

Let's let them know what it's like to get junk mail,
and best of all... THEY'RE paying for it! Twice!

Let's help keep our postal service busy since they say
e-mail is cutting into their business, and that's
why they need to increase postage again!

Send this to a friend or two or three...or fifty..

My feet hurt!! x.x I need better shoes! I spent the day working at Cosi, and it was a busy day. The first hour we were open the place was deserted, but by lunch it was swarming with people.

This morning I really didn't want to wake up, but not only did I have to, but I had a wierd dream that woke me up. In my dream I was lying on the floor with my arms under my head like a pillow. I was listening to my sister laugh. I've found my sister's laugh to be a bit disconcerting ever since she had her bipolar episode in Chicago and she stayed up all night laughing for no apparent reason. Then I heard my father's voice right behind me. He said "It is time" or something to that effect, and I woke up. The odd thing was I was sleeping in the same position I was in in the dream. I know that doesn't sound all that creepy, but it freaked me out.

The reason I havn't blogged for the past few days is that my mom worked from home. She needed to use the computer all day to do this, and by the evening I was already too wrapped up in my non-computer projects to really care about blogging. The good thing about this is I got some work done on Realms, the bad thing is you're probably not going to see it on my web site anytime soon. At least the first act is up. ^_^

It rained on our parade this morning. I watched it anyway with megs, and some random person with an extra umbrella lent us an umbrella so we didn't get as soaked as we could have.

Most of the day we spent rollarblading around the suburb even though it was raining and everything was wet. By the afternoon it had mostly stopped raining and things started to dry out. We went by your house, Katherine, and considered swinging on your porch swing, but there was car in your driveway and we thought maybe we shouldn't scare your parents.

Then Megs went to work and I actually had to spend time with my family. My dad's side of the family. Sometimes I get the feeling I'm invisible to them. Today wasn't as bad as other holidays have been. Last Christmas had to have been the worst. At least there was good food.

For the fireworks I met Megan and Callon at the library(not megs, she was still working). The fireworks weren't as good as usual. There were fewer of them, and they botched the ending so people would start to leave thinking it was over, and then more fireworks would come up. We tried to meet megs at the library after the fireworks, but there were just too many people there.

I think the kids down the street have stopped shooting off their illigal fire crackers. This is good since now my cat can go outside. Neko was starting to chew on my arm, so I'd rather he went outside right now.

*yawn* I'm tired. . . *sleeps*

I love the fourth of July. ^_^ Not because I'm particularly patriotic, just because it's one of the few holidays that you don't have to spend with your family. Anyway, I have to get up early tomorrow to see a parade, so Good Night people!

This thread at the Elfwood LJ is interesting. It does seem like anime artists get picked on a bit by the traditional artists. And I never relized before that my Redwall drawings are concidered fanart.
