today was horrible. i hate summer, and i hate being poor, and i hate wanting everything. maybe being terribly insatiable is one of my flaws too. 

so, how great are dictionaries? really.

Oh, it's so terrible when you learn that you really want something. Something you can't get by just pulling your top down, or pressing money into people's palms. 

I think zooey is a killer, and I like that. If only she could kill people. 

do you have any idea how hard it is to become more clever?

I think that mostly I'm afraid of living for too long, because then I need to figure out what to do. 

So the moon came back a few nights ago, and aimee and I were so happy to see it. Also, the homeless man and his pet tiger who used to hide in my backyard have gone. Maybe to watch someone else while they sleep.
