Sebastian and Zulu wrote a poem once over msn when we were working so hard.
she clicks
she sticks
she's the beginnings of a poem
she's the echo of a bomb
she's hidden away
she's coming out in a round-about sort of way
she's exploding on the front page news
she's running away for better views
she never asked for more than what her hands could hold
she's run so far she'll never get cold
she's fearless in the mist of fear
she's walking down right off the pier
she's diving into an destiny of unknowns
she'll never bow to their king, but she’ll wear the best of their crowns
she'll take the territory
she's a cut from the quarry
she won't tame her heart
because she is His art. /or/
all in all she is His art. /or/
she'll never glorify a fart /or/
our poem ends to cries of, "Tart! She's a tart!"
we never really decided the ending.

okay stink fast update!
(I hope I can find some creativity in me so this isn't just like a boring old calendar...)
my calendar is by Ansel Adams and it came from this girl.
i have 3 MORE DAYS LEFT with this company. excellent people to work with, overall. just a bit of a bore. (the industry, that is). these are some of my favourite memories:
January 19, 2004
Today at our staff meeting, Rod looked like British beans and toast. He was wearing a swamp-green, brownish turtleneck and brown plaid pants. They were talking about something regarding which I had nothing to say… But then I noticed that he looked straight off the plane from Liverpool! Then I imagined him eating beans and toast for breakfast and it made me laugh inside. But then I looked at his clothes again, and he looked like beans and toast!!! I tried gallantly to hold it in, but alas, I snickered and then I could not hold it back and I laughed and laughed and got really hot because of the energy I was exerting to hold back the laugh that would not be held back and because I was embarrassed because I think they all thought I had ADHD. But really, he looked like beans and toast – wouldn’t you have laughed?

Caller: Hello, is Rod available?
Me: Rod is actually on holidays right now…can I take a vac— can I take a message?
Caller: Umm, no—…did you just say ‘Can I take a vacation?’
Me: Yes! I was hoping you wouldn’t notice!
Caller: Well you can! I don’t mind!
Me: *red*
August 11, 2004
someone just absolutely made my day! He calls and without saying his name, asks who he’s talking to. "Zoë", I say. There’s this pause, and then I hear him singing…Let me tell you how it will be\There's one for you, nineteen for me\Cos I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman…That’s when I knew it was Adrian. He just wanted to make sure I was still into the Fab Four.
August 11, 2004
Rod was up at my desk reviewing work with me, and felt a sneeze coming on. He leaps over to the front door, flings it and lets out this huge sneeze, not holding a thing back right into the hallway to keep the germs out of our office. !! You really gotta see it once. At least once. Everybody.
January 12, 2006
Today Len Selby called.
Len: SO I HEAR YOU’RE QUITTIN’!
Zoë: Yea! Well, quitting isn’t really the word we’ve been using, but-
Len: AH! THERE’S HARDLY GOING TO BE ANY POINT IN COMING THERE ANYMORE!
Zoë: (almost feeling bad as Cassandra was listening to the call) Oh! Well, you still have Cassandra, (insert a spontaneously eruption of laughter from Cassandra) and Jenn here!
Len: OH, THAT WON’T BE ENOUGH!
Zoë: (not quite knowing what to say) Well, it’s not until March, so it won’t be for a while yet....
Len: SO, WELL, WHERE’RE YA GOIN’?
Zoë: ... And from then on, the conversation was normal

Valerie Scrubb from MRS: Hey Zoë! Do you still have that cold?
Zoë: Uh…. yea… (Zoë, confused, does not have a cold, and has not had a cold for months)
Valerie: Oh yea, you REALLY sound like you have a cold! Mmm ha ha… hmmm.. okay then, about that leverage application...
this is what I can't seem to stop listening to lately
this summer i'm going to be guiding tours to las montanas de rocky with clubESL. for ESL students. i will love it and i will grow.
really though, i'm just learning a lot right now about myself, and how i see people, and how i see God and about life and how it was meant to be done and how i do it. it's cool because it equals change. i like change.
i'm deciding whether or not i want to go to school or find some sweet job somewhere. what do you think? i used to think school was for people who were too scared to learn things for themselves in the real world. but now i know that school is for people who aren't so cocky as to think they can learn it all themselves in "the real world". what even is the real world anyway? where is it if it isn't here? or arrogant, whichever you prefer. i've been both.
these are some of my favourite quotes from our office:
Rod: Zoë, is there one ‘g’ in Lego or two?
Rod: Zoë, you are a very unique creation!
Rod: You look like a sheet of paper!
Rod: Zoë, sometimes your requests are unbearable.
(after Zoë asked for a pen from “over there”)
Jenn: Oh right, walls block things.
Scott: Woa there’s a lot of sugar in here!
Zoë: Too much?
Scott: No! It’s helping me!
Rod: I just had two thoughts, one immediately after the other!
Rod: Salut, mon pot!
Zoë: Oh, that was good humour…I just didn’t laugh.
Scott: So at Seh-Mi, this guy walks around the corner with a huge tub of rice.
Scott: That’s it.
Scott: if we were monkeys we would live in the same forest
(after realizing that he and Zoë had a similar opinion)
and earlier that day: if we were vegetables we would go agreeably together in a pot of stew
(regarding our similar senses of humour and like-mindedness)
Rod: I really like that shirt, Zoë. It’s very nice. It makes you look tough… and manly.
Zoë: Thank you.
Rod: Zoë, let this not be a Godzilla moment. It genuinely is a nice shirt.
Rod: Oh No! I just got hungry again but I’m already fat! I hate it when that happens!
Jenn: Has she brought some in to the Other Ones, yet?
(referring to ‘the Clients’ meeting with Rod)
Jenn: I never said I wasn't a geek!
Scott: i dunno, zoe - i think i smell something fishy
Scott: and i'd like to trade for it with a beaver pelt
that's all for now. thanks for listening! hope it wasn't boring, oh yes!
