humans are dynamic beings, constantly changing and adapting to various situations. no one can be the exact same person when they go to sleep at night as they were when they woke up that morning. but general personality traits should probably stay pretty stable from day to day. so if you're gonna be nice, then be nice. don't be nice for a day or two and then decide to switch it with an asshole card. i can't keep up. consistency. that's all i ask for, really.

Congratulations on Your 1st Birthday
Hope it was worth the trouble you went through to fake a 1st birthday just to get a $5.99 cake for free. Here's a tip: next time you try to get a promotional free "Baby's First Birthday" cake, don't ask the person taking the order to write CONGRATULATIONS on it. If you're gonna be cheap, at least get the freakin occasion right.
happy belated father's day, bruce
And especially to you, Dad. I am more proud of you now than words can ever express. Lovelovelove from my heart to yours. for those of you paying attention, my dad did not change his name to bruce. i don't know bruce. i just happened to write on his belated father's day cake. but i do hope bruce enjoyed his father's day as well.

When I walked in the room, they already knew my name. "This is Jenn too! Now there are two Jenn's in the group! And if the other Jen came in, then we would have THREE Jenn's in this room!" The three elementary school-aged boys tell me their names in a tangle of shouts and laughter. One jumps and claps. The two others are sharing a seat; one ends up on the ground and decides he likes it there instead. They are overly-energized and eager to impress any audience they might have. And you wouldn't know it at first glance, but they all have one important thing in common: each one falls on the high-functioning end of a developmental or autistic disorder. The two speech & OT therapists work patiently with the boys, paying close attention to and utilizing each one's strengths and weaknesses. They give constructive comments in areas that need work and give them much needed encouragement and praise when they succeed. They work with the boys on group & one-on-one
words to a friend... 12:55 am wednesday june 3
"i think if you care a lot about a person, it takes a very long time to get rid of the pain. who knows, maybe you can never fully get rid of it. but eventually, you'll convince yourself not to let it take you down. it all has to get better eventually... hopefully sooner rather than later."
