clicks two ball bearings together in one hand "I want know what happened to the strawberries."
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
You know, when I was a child, we we fairly poor. We also lived next store to people who ran a fruit and vegetable stand.
The owners used to let me pick strawberries for our family (for free) from the fields that were at the end of their usefulness and not worth their time to pick. I used to spend long days wading through rotten fermeted strawberries to find the ones that were still good enough to eat, and I used to get about one or 2 flats a day (we frose them for use throughout the year).
But the stench of rotten strawberries is disgusting, and to this day I cannot stand it.

I once picked 22 lbs of strawberries in SC. I spent the whole summer eating strawberries (froze them, of course.)
They are still reading names for commencement. It started at 9:15. I'm dreading traffic tonight.

What gorgeous roses, Gud! The geraniums and iris are also beautiful.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Sophia, you're downright biblical. Or maybe from Little House on the Prairie.
Either way, I can picture little Sophia and all those strawberries.

um- I think this is what I was pretending. My mother made me a red calico dress and sunbonnet (like Laura's in the book- Mary's was blue). I think this is why all my neighbors thought I was insane, because that was pretty much what I wore to play.
It was hella fun, though-- I wish I could still do it. There is a local 'back in time" museum, but though I love it, I wish they made everyone dress up and pretend they live there. I mostly like the days when you can go and make soap or candles or something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
...the good folks at Tom DeLay’s Legal Defense Fund are saluting Stephen Colbert for his hard-hitting interview with "Outfoxed" director Robert Greenwald on the subject of Greenwald’s new film "The Big Buy: Tom DeLay’s Stolen Congress". They’ve even posted the full video at the Defend Delay Web-Site. According to them, Greenwald "crashed and burned" under the withering glare of Colbert’s laser wit.
Now, why would a bunch of crony-sucking Repug thugs suddenly rush forward to embrace a known liberal satirist? BECAUSE THEY DON’T REALIZE HE’S A LIBERAL!
...
Yup, apparently one layer of irony is one too many for the brain-donors at Defend Delay. They don’t get that when Colbert asks a question like, "Who hates America more, you or Michael Moore?" that his tongue is firmly planted in his cheek.
