"Without a Hurt the Heart is Hollow..."

Multae pullae puellas amant. Debeo risum tuum laudare. ^_^

One little compliment can make you feel amazing. So give me a compliment, anything in the entire world, even that my shoelaces are pretty. Put this in your journal. And once you get some comments, put that entry in a memory or tag and when you are feeling down, just go to that entry and this will remind that you're not so bad in other people's eyes after all.

I love, I love, I love. Amo, amo, amo, debent amare, debemus amare. ^______^

Vale!

--Ridere, amabo te. Amabo te, amabo te. <3333 Multae rosae do.

In amorem incideo, incidebam, incidebo. Amavi, amo. Salta!

...I, Claudius amabo. ^__________________^

Vale!

"Now I Battle What I Most Adore..."

Dilemma.

One of my gentlemen at work, Norm, always asks me for a hug when I'm in. Now, I'm not technically supposed to hug any of my gentlemen, but I always do anyway, because I'm a wicked little girl who doesn't do what she's told. So I'm not supposed to. But I always do anyway.

And to-day he kissed me.

I am being an ass, aren't I? *frets* But it wasn't really a friendly sort of kiss. Or. I mean. It just didn't feel right. It was actually a little scary, and a little embarrassing. But I didn't say anything about it, because I was surprised. So I didn't say anything. But now I'm not really sure what to do.

Because I see him every time I go in, and he always asks for a hug, and I can't possibly--I mean, I'd feel like such a horrible person if I didn't...! But I'm not supposed to anyway, so I can't tell one of the nurses or Linda and ask what to do, because I've pretty much invited it on myself. I mean, it's my own fault for doing what I was told not to. But I don't want him to do it again. It's just--Norm's not as nice as, say, Daniel. If Daniel kissed me it would be utterly platonic and because he's fond of me as I'm fond of him. But I'm a little scared of Norm anyway.

Gah. >_<

I don't know what to dooooo. I mean, really. I just--can't think of anything to do.

"They Left Me in an Alley, Took My Money and My Guitar..."

So apart from my silly problems, work was quite good.

Is Jennie's birthday on Friday! And she got cards, which is nice, because she's always wishing she'd get mail and she never does. So we opened her cards together, and that was nice; but her son in Texas didn't write, and she's very disappointed about that. I feel rather bad about that, I do. I wish I could make my people's families visit them, sometimes.

Daniel is in the hospital still (I miss him so much), but Ken is back! He was my gentleman with the prosthesis. It's made a sore on his leg where it attaches, so he has to come back for therapy and to get it refitted; but it's all right, he'll be able to go home soon; so I'm just going to be as happy as anything that he's here, then, while he's here. Ken is so wonderful. I'm glad to see him again, actually. ^__^

And we have a new lady named Joyce, who's extremely alert and very clever and makes me laugh, and even makes Dick laugh, which is awfully nice because Dick is always so quiet and never very happy. But she was sitting with him at lunch and being very tongue-in-cheek, and he was being so right back, and I think he was very pleased. She likes me, too! ^___^ I'm so glad. I did rather dreadfully moving her oxygen tank around, but she just laughed and said it was all right.

I painted Bertha's nails, too, and Jennie's, and Katy's. This time Katy liked her polish on the very first time. Yayness. And I was being very very silly, so I painted each of my nails a different colour. Sparkly brown, pink, lavender, hot pink, sparkly purple, dark red, shell pink, green, ruby, and dark pink. ^___^ It made Gladys laugh.

Charlie wanted his curtains opened to-day, because the sun was so nice, so I did; and I helped him get dressed. He says he always gets his buttons out of order. But we decided I shall be his maid, and help him (he wanted a better word than maid--he said lady valet), because buttons don't confuse me. And I turned up his cuffs and down his collar, and he was very pleased. It's always so nice to spend time with him. I missed him! Bwee. I love Charlie.

Anna is very well, too, I think. We talked for quite a bit... or, rather, we said quite a lot in fifteen minutes. Anna is--I can't even begin to describe Anna. I'm just so glad she hasn't been ill in a while. I love her so much. I don't know what I shall do without her.

Frank teased me again. Honestly. There's always someone teasing me.

^____________^ I'm so glad to be back. I love my people. Bweeeee.

"Look At Myself to Find I Wouldn't Have it Any Other Way..."

( TRICK OR TREAT! )

Revenge, is it, Manon?
...Zara and Miss Kylee are the only people who love meeeeeee.

Which apparently means I don't like lemon and lime flavours, which is a lie, I love lime, I make no sense, trala! XD Excuse me, I have to go be silly somewhere else.

"'Cause I Got Them Steadily Depressing Low-Down Mind Messing Working at the Car Wash Blues..."

I spent this evening listening to The Fantasticks, clipping magazines for 'Llyssa, and reading I, Claudius. That is a very good way to spend the evening.

Also, prior to that, telephoned Manon! ^___^ And Miss Kylee telephoned--no, wait, I telephoned Miss--wait. That was a curious circumstance. At any rate, Miss Kylee and I talked on Monday night. And bweeeeeeeeeee. ^_________________^

I am a happity, contentish me. Also I am listening to one of the CDs Miss Zara sent me; and this copy of Hamlet is wonderful. And we're going to see the play on Sunday after Melinda leaves. ^_____^

--And I wish I did not have Scum Club to-morrow, but into each life some rain must fall. ^_~

Do I overuse smileys?
