Yesterday!

Mood: peachy
Music: Green Day - Are We the Waiting

Yesterday I wore a pair of Anneliese's signature "Daisy Dukes" and some fuzzy black knee-highs with sneakers. And my mother told me I looked like "Avril Lavigne on Teens Gone Wild".

...My own Mother.

(But that's okay. She's just so totally jealous.)

Also, yesterday I felt more contempt for a child than I have ever felt in my life. Allow me to explain.

It was mid afternoon and it was some hot out! And so, I found myself lazily sprawled on the rug on my front porch, leisurely flipping through the November 2002 issue of Cosmopolitan because it features guy named Lenny (who may or may not be both devilishly handsome and completely naked) making peach cobbler. And we all know how Anneliese fancies home cookin'! *ahem*
Anyways, as Lenny and I were at the mercy of the sweltering heat, I heard the sound of a little bell ring-ringing, coming closer and closer, making it's way up the street-- HOLY ICE CREAM TRUCK BATMAN!!!!!!!!
And so as the glorius ringing of the bell grows nearer and nearer, my excitement becomes nearly too much to handle, knowing the wonderous sight of the ice cream truck is soon to be flooding my vision, inviting me to toss aside my worldly troubles and give chase...
And then-- I SEE IT! The source of the heavenly ringing!
...But it's no ice cream truck. It's a bell-happy toddler on a tricycle. And so, like that, my dreams were crushed.

You just know that kid's going to grow up to be a jerk.

Jerk.


...Over.

Are you positive that it was a tricycler? Could it have possibly been an Ohio antique bicycle thief, as my poor, sweet ol' grandfather had his wonderful aluminium bicycle stolen right from his own yard. I only ask because it has a happy little bell on it as well, and when I ride the thing, I am, as you put it, bell-happy.

Then again... I could be lying. I stole the bicycle and rode it all the way up to Guelph, only to shatter your fantasies of an icy cool treat.

But I didn't.
