“Paradise will one day be a dream.” –connie dover, ‘who will comfort me?’ (beautiful song)
TEN REASONS SENIOR DISCOUNT DAY STINKS FOR THE POOR CASHIER GIRL

Us: *wearing a sweatshirt that says ‘Maine’*
Three Different Old People: Do you go to the University of Maine?
Us: *smiles* No. –we’re FIFTEEN-

Those nice Polish and Asian ladies and that Sofie woman: *talking to us*
Us: *has no idea what they just said*

Old Guy: Do you think I’m old enough for the senior discount?
Us: *smiles* -How does one respond to that?-

Old Lady: Did you give me my discount?
Us: Yes. *rings up another item*
Old Lady: Did you give me my discount?
Us: Yes. *rings up another item* -We just told you that-
Old Lady: Did you give me my discount?
Us: Yes. *rings up another item* -How could we forget?-

Old Lady: Did you give me my discount?
Us: Yes. *smiles*
Old Lady: Oh, you could tell?
Us: *smiles* -And to think you’d be angry if we didn’t assume.-

Old Lady That’s Not as Obviously Old: Did you give me my discount?
Us: Just give me a moment to take that off. *smiles*
Old Lady: *exasperated*
Us: *smiles* -And to think you’d be angry if we assumed.-

Us: *has a wrist brace*
Guy Who’s Not Even That Old: Eh, that brace did nothing for me. See how my thumb’s all swollen? Well, I was in this car accident and …
Us: *does not want to know*

Small Child: *talking to us*
Us: *is at a loss as to why the child is talking to us and where it’s mother is and how to make it stop and what it is saying*

Mother: Honey, come back and put that cute little shopping cart away.
Child: NO! *runs off with cart to the back of the barn, where it should not be*
Mother: *chases down child and spanks it into giving the cart back and going to the car*
Us: *trying to ignore this*
Mother: *smiles at us and then drags the screaming child away*
Child: *screaming*

Old Lady: *checks out*
Old Lady’s Not As Old Daughter: I’m giving my mother the money and she’s going to get my vegetables, okay? That way, I’ll get the discount too! *smiles like if we don’t we’ll regret it*
Us: *gives her the discount, smiling like if she tries that next week we’ll fry her in oil*


We don’t want to go to the beach tomorrow. Our only way out is to work at the farm for four hours. We don’t want to do that either, so we may as well get sand and salt engrained in our skin and pray it comes out by the beginning of school. Maybe it’ll make the hugely gross tan line from our watch go away and cause our friend who is more tanned than us but doesn’t know it because she doesn’t wear a watch stop telling us we’ll get skin cancer.


AnimeIM.com has a buddy icon of Raven’s Flat. How sad.


We read an article on the popularity of anime because shojo is the only comic type out there geared toward girls and shonen isn’t as blatantly male-oriented as the American stuff. It made us realize something very important: we need to go manga and novel shopping.

Viz is putting out Alice 19th: Volume 6: Blinded Soul for our birthday! August 31st!
