Two teachers, who shall remain anonymous, borrowed two of the nice tricycles from the early childhood classrooms, and peddled their way for about 50 yards to my room. They then proceeded to ... http://www.tony.rightquick.org/ebjournal/index.php?p=38&c=1 (This is not happy or overly funny--- you've been warned.) There is a pair of socks that sits in my drawer. At work, I'm not a snappy dresser-- my fashion is dictated by what's comfortable and what I can sit on the floor with. So rarely do I wear ... http://www.tony.rightquick.org/ebjournal/index.php?p=37&c=1 No phone No phone I just want to be alone today No phone no phone Ringing stinging Jerking like a nervous bird Rattling up against his cage Calls to me thoughout the day See the feathers fly No phone No phone I just want to be alone today No phone No phone No phone no phone I just want ... http://www.tony.rightquick.org/ebjournal/index.php?p=36&c=1 I need to figure out my firewall.

It's also the hardest one ... http://www.tony.rightquick.org/ebjournal/index.php?p=34&c=1 So I was out of school Friday, and had a substitute. I work hard to leave good sub notes so that we're not running out of things to do, or are bored with the work. (Since it was a full day, it ran about 4 pages, single spaced.) Though ... http://www.tony.rightquick.org/ebjournal/index.php?p=33&c=1 Well, faithful readers, changes are still a-comin', because they didn't happen this weekend. I spent most of Saturday destroying my desktop by trying to overlay Win2K Pro on top of Win 98 Crap. Then I formatted the hard drive and did a clean install, after I had backed ... http://www.tony.rightquick.org/ebjournal/index.php?p=32&c=1 I wanna be one of the cool kids!
