Hi guys

[farla]

Despite available evidence, I'm still not dead.

Although actually if I was dead you guys would probably be the second or so group to know about it. So it's more that I haven't been kidnapped or in a coma. I'd hope, anyway, if I came out of a coma to find out Mom's told you guys stuff I'd be pretty upset.

Wow this is morbid.

So anyway, yeah. I've just been stressed about other stuff and avoiding everything. Sorry, no good reason for any of it. Now to get to work on all the stuff I have to do and people I have to contact now.

Speaking of things that aren't dead, the rats are still doing well despite all our hopes and plans. Does anyone know if we can leave them out once it gets below freezing? They're living in a pretty good brushpile and have access to plenty of nesting material, but they're elderly pet albino rats, so I'm dubious of their survival capabilities. Although they've been outdoing the chickens by a fair margin so far.

Wow, just wow. :/

In short, if I ever had to deal with a writing teacher like that, I'll be doing computer generated writing too.

She's pretty young, I think she's trying to be encouraging and stuff. We're also reading short stories and they're all awful. You know that generic English class reading, the one about the randomness of life with some sex and death mixed in, and maybe a bit of people-acting-bizarre-and-not-like-people dabbed on top and called surreal? She keeps assigning those and acting like she expects it to blow our tiny minds.

It's a pretty easy course though, and she hasn't picked up on the fact that while yes, I'm writing as she talks, it's generally something else entirely.
