forts.

So as children, most of us have built forts. All sorts of forts; blanket forts, snow forts, tree forts, pillow forts, whatever. And recently, I have been getting back into the fort building scene. During government class, we get a class participation grade. And my participation grade went down a little because I build forts out of backpacks and desks. One day, I'm going to bring in my blanket too so I'll be same from aerial attack. When I'm in my fort feeling nice and safe, I like to take out my crayon box (the big 64 box) and draw pictures of dinosaurs. That doesn't help my class participation grade either. But its worth it, and I don't care.

Today, I found out from my friend how to say "dinosaur" in American sign language. I also learned how to sign out "vagina." Story time. This deaf woman was pulled over by a cop. And the cop didn't know sign language too well so he only formed the words for *Show me your..* Then he made a rectangle with his hands - a futile attempt to say license. It turns out that he actually made the sign for vagina. So then, the deaf lady was insulted and drove away. So now, I've been signing "dinosaur vagina" at everyone.

For the first time ever, I want to share something of a more serious nature. I have recently entered into a relationship with this fantastical girl. Shes accepting of all my strange quirks (at least I feel like she is. maybe she's just hiding how weirded out she really is). That's really important to me since I want to feel accepted, and wanted, and loved. But for one thing, she doesn't want to hold me. She feels that guys should hold the girl, not the other way around. And I want to be held tooooooo! whaaaa! And she thinks holding hands in school is uncomfortable. Thats weird cause thats what people in relationships do (even though shes fine with hand holding outside of school). But I think the idea of kissing is weird. So I'm weird too. But kissing is weird. Its like...ok I really care about you, so I'm going to explore your mouth with my tongue. It doesn't make sense to me. Kind of like the idea of drinking milk from cows. Who decided to pull on the cow's udder thing and drink the white stuff that comes out? Probably the same person that invented kissing....haha. So, I don't know if my quirky yet adorable girl will read this..but if you do..I want you to know that there are millions of girls who go to bed each night crying because they wish they were as beautiful and special as you. <== I came up with that all by myself :) I'm so proud of myself. rawr.
