'...it's a perfect night for feeling melancholy'

::i got a comment from mikayla that i almost always start my entries with 'today'. so from now on...no more starting off with the word 'today'. ok so today...(hehe) was a lot of fun. i got to see my best buddy jamie. i haven't hung out with her in a while. we got burritos and went to the movies. lots of old people at the theater. i just got back from the park with melissa. i also haven't seen her in a while. it was nice seeing both of them today. at the park i squished an ant. i felt bad about that. i want to sleep in my sleeping bag tonight. sweet dreams::

'i am the egg man'
::yesterday was a lot of fun. a park and pool day with the kids. but instead of going to the woodmere park, we went to the park on brookside ave. right near sunrise and the train station. they have a great playground. i swung on the swings and drew funny pictures for a bunch of the girl campers. one of my boys (julian) got mad. 'mr. ben, what are you doing? you can't draw pictures with the girls, only for the boys in our group!'. hehe. silly kids. after that we took the bus to woodmere's pool. i took a bunch of the my kids to the snack bar. watched them pig out on junk food for half and hour, while they told me stories about all the girls they like at school and camp. after camp i met george in the city and then took the 'f' to brooklyn. we went to see the opening of a new comic shop. matt madden and jessica abel (my professors from last year) had a bunch of work up. but matt and jess were no where to be found. i got a comic and left a bunch of minis. i felt bad about going. heather was suppose to come, but she was sick. after the shop, we went to burritoville. yummy. played some ds. then went home. hanging out with george is a lot of fun, even if he is 'evil'. hehe. well, its almost work time. i hope you have a great day. make sure you drink lots of chocolate milk today::

'stay cool, i'll see you next summer'

::today was a lot of fun. we went bowling with the campers. its always great to see the little guys hurl the ball like it has girl cooties on it or something. after work i made 20 copies each (220 in total) of my 24 hour comic. then i picked up lara from the station. she made me dinner and we played katamari damacy on her ps2. wow. i think i might have to get a playstation just for that game. i'm in love. the colors, the level design, the soundtrack! i've never played a game like that before. amazing. after dinner and video games we went on the swings, and then to ralphs. yummy yummy. i made a wish in the dolphin pond to go to the moon. i hope it comes true. night night::

the milkshake and the car ride home

::today was a very very long day. but it was over pretty quick. wait, that doesn't make any sense. sorry. i had some great ideas for the show while at work and right after dinner. i wrote them down about an hour ago. i love having a book to write down ideas. i keep it right near my bed just in case i have an idea in the middle of the night. today was 'crazy arts and crafts day' at camp. tie dye tee shirts and popsicle stick picture frames. i finished 'anthem' today. wow. i got 'fountain head' and vol. one of 'the adventures of tin tin' yesterday. i started reading 'tin tin' today. i love it. the stories are ok. but the layout and visuals are fucking awesome. on sunday i went to a street fair with heather. we both got finger puppets. hanging out with heather is always a lot of fun. this friday me, heather and george might go to a comic book shop opening in brooklyn. i'm going to try to make more minis to give to the shop. maybe i could get some done after work tomorrow. night night. and sweet dreams::

'i would cut of my right arm to be someones lover...'
::i want to escape from the norm. fall in love with that perfect girl, and run away into the forest. live in a cabin and find the true meaning of ego::

'...trace your outline in spilt sugar...'

::i called in sick today. i had sushi last night. and my tummy and the sushi had a little war inside me. not good. but i'm better now. i started feeling better after a nap. i went out to lunch with meg and jodi. it was nice seeing both of them. i got home and started feeling bad again. went out to dinner with the mom and dad...didn't eat much. took my veggie burger home in a doggie bag. i'm feeling better now. i started working on a new animation. i wanna see if heather wants to work on it with me. its for the show and all of the little animations we do together come out way better then if i go at it alone. well, sweet dreams kitten heads, i'm going to draw some cartoons, night night::

'she said lets put a plastic bag over our heads...and then kiss and stuff 'til we get dizzy and fall on the bed'

::today is my last at my cousins. i'm going to miss emma and zoey. and having a house all to myself. but it will be nice to sleep on my bed, and not on the futon, but it was very comfy. i just like my bed better. emma has really bad gas today. she is burping and farting like crazy. hehe. anyway. i'm going to draw some cartoons. *superbighug*::

'autant embrasser un wookie!'

::today was a lot of fun. it was pay day. i saw the nintendo car at the train station. i left a comic under the wiper. the campers were good for the most part. i was told that my 'emo look' was cute. (whatever that means) and zoey and emma really seem to like me. driving to ross' was a lot of fun, i was singing along to the 'dead milk men' the whole way up here. today is just a great day::

sleepy.

::so i'm dog/house sitting for my cousin 'til saturday. both dogs (emma and zoey) are lots of fun, when they aren't hiding under beds and in closets. hehe. having a house to myself is pretty darn cool. i like how quiet everything is. its very calming...its perfect after being with screaming kids from 8-5. camp is still very cool. i'm not too sure about the other counselors. they really don't seem to like me. i really don't like how they treat the kids. there are easier ways of getting a kid to listen to you without screaming at them. i think the most important thing to do is to set an example...and none of them seem to being do that. well, joe is but thats it. anyway, time to play with the doggies. sweet dreams::

'well to be a blind man, hey that could be a fine thing...'
::i just got back from the park with lara. swings are so nice at night. tomorrow is another hot skates day. i can't wait. i'm sleepy. night night::

art with lara.

::this weekend was great. yesterday me and heather made the furry suit. we took it to baldwin park for a test drive. lots of fun. we then went to 'the cup' where lara had a show. we got coffee stuff and shared a really yummy pie. we then went back home and watched cartoons. today i drove up to ross' house and played with ethan. he is such a cute kid. i'm going to be house/dog sitting for ross from tuesday to saturday. i can't wait to plug in my gamecube into that huge tv. ahhh...i love nintendo. oh. saturday classes at hofstra are cool. the kids are cool. tomorrow is a park and pool day at camp. i hope its nice out tomorrow. well, time for bed. night night::

hot skates!

::today we got rained out of our park and pool trip. instead of the park we went to hot skates! it was so much fun skating with the campers. i love my job::

'...for a girl of nineteen it's more than sad, it's obscene.'
::i had a lot of fun today. i got to know the campers a little better. i think i know all of their names. it was a park and pool day today. we played dodge ball and then went swimming. kids are the coolest. tomorrow is 'adventure land'. that should be a lot of fun. i just got back from the park with julia. she told me about a painting i did for her, that i forgot all about. she said her dad has it hanging in his place, in his bathroom. its a painting of a urine sample with a lable on it that reads...'hello, my name is ben'. wow. i was strange. night night::

camp.

at the pool with the kids. im watching over a camper named bryan.he likes nachos a lot.

'i may not be tom cruise...but i got a pair of pretty shoes'
::war of the worlds was stinky. yesterday was a lot of fun. i went to the movies with mom and dad. then went to heather's house. we worked a lot on our show. we finished a piece that we might use for the opening or closing. not sure yet. it came out awesome. we also wrote out how we will structure the show. what will go where, that kind of stuff. today i finished up an animation. it came out pretty good. i'm still not sure if i want a background for it. tomorrow is my first day at work. i made my lunch for tomorrow. pb and j and a yoohoo. wish my luck::

'rain falls hard on the city on every homeless kitty'
::today was a lot of fun. joe and i recorded 3 radio shows this morning/afternoon. all done in his car. before that we play 4 swords. the rest of the afternoon i drew cartoons and watched animal planet. jeff corwin and this show about lady bugs. in the winter lady bugs get into massive groups and cuddle to keep warm. later i went back to joe's and played zelda with him and erica. then we went to dunkin donuts and made two more radio shows. this time with erica. i'm nervous about work. i hope the kids like me. i think i want to join a gang. a gang where we get to wear cool jackets. jackets that say the name of our gang on the back, and we have like a snake or a bear as our logo. that would be kinda cool. maybe i'll just join the 'hell's angels'. night night turtle doves::
