A series of unfortunate, boring events


Oh, my poor blog. It has become a shadow of its former self. To those of you who still check it, thank you. Also, get a life.

JK, I love you, Mom!

So John called me the other night at midnight:

Sam: Hey.
John: Sam, I’m so upset.
Sam: Why?
John: I killed my fish.
Sam: Oh my gosh, what happened?
John: Well, I had this little fake tree in the fish bowl for him to swim around and play with, and I decided I needed to clean it. So while I was changing his water, I washed the tree with dishwashing soap. I thought I rinsed it thoroughly but when I put it in the bowl, I saw suds float to the top of the water.
Sam: Oh my gosh.
John:  Then I saw him eat the suds.
Sam: Oh my gosh.
John: I know. I killed my fish. I feel horrible.
Sam: I’m so sorry. That’s awful.
John: I just feel like I let him down.
Sam: You just need to buy a new fish and take good care of it to honor Kahlua’s memory.
John: Yeah, I’m going to buy a new one soon.

Poor John. He’s really a nice person. Don’t judge him for killing his fish.

Speaking of killing stuff, I killed a spider today. I think the worst part of living alone/with one girl roommate is that I don’t have anyone to kill spiders. My roommate wasn’t even home today to share in my horror. I had to swat at this huge, menacing spider with my shoe to get it away from the wall, then it started frantically scurrying around while I yelled at it. Eventually I smashed it, and then I came to the sad realization that I would have to clean its guts off the floor. The whole experience was totally horrifying.

Sadly, though, this was the highlight of my day. Otherwise, I just studied. I also ate four cookies and then decided five would be too many. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow so I can eat four more cookies.

Don’t go to law school.
