OR

now considering i have NO idea what exactly the first definition means, i am going to have to go with the wording of the second. And..well seeing as Valentines day blows this year & i am in berkeley i have decided to install another segment of my diary dedicated to Terri [my mother]. For those of you that have read before i was in fact, a twrlingvixen, & when i was still a hard-core rockingal you will most likely remember my Terri tales.

---

here we go.

are you ready?

Terri befriended a homeless man today. but thats not where my story begins. My story begins long before that, when this morning, terri decides to cook me some breakfast, thus -as always- burning the bread to a nice crisp. Well..we went with Max & she met a homeless man with a digital camera that she somehow talked into taking multiple pictures of herself so that she can have photos of herself being in nature & so on & so forth. Now..you are thinking what i thought this very morning.

WHY THE FUCK WOULD A HOMELESS MAN HAVE A DIGITAL CAMERA?

A NICE DIGITAL CAMERA AT THAT??

well [even though this has no logic at all] because nature is all we have left & he would give up his home & so on just so he could capture the wonders of the world [basically he takes pictures of sticks & such. mostly his dog, Tawny.]

so my mom is going out to dinner this man.

i keep telling her that this man is mooching

but

Terri will hear none of that.

she says

'Megan. it is Valentine's day. Do you realize that named Valentine's day after some man who got his head chopped off?[another piece of useless information, thanks Terri]. Every one deserves a meal.'

i dont know how this man can chew.

he has no teeth.

poo.

i want a nice dinner too!!

[but Terri says she has priorities like saving the earth & such before she can take me out.]

bummer.

haha.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone.

muuuuuuuch love.
