Today's Rome's birthday. 2670 years or something along those lines. The reason I knew this was mostly due to Dr. Rundin, who'd canceled the Latin quiz and fed us cake (yesterday) in honor of the date.
It was a rather good day, all things considered.
Kate and I went for a walk after dinner, and in an invigorating discussion that followed it was decided that I am to make a list of all the "weird" things she does and then ask someone (who doesn't know her) whether or not a person who does these type of things would be considered "weird."
So far the list includes:
-picking up random sticks from the side of the road and attempting to sweep the road with it
-proposing vanilla cake as the key to world peace
- discussing the author of The Stranger with respect to radiation
- pointing out that doors are a poor, oppressed lot who daily get abused by people and appointing herself as "the Door Remedy."
-eating random plant parts that she'd plucked from the side of the road
- waving a piece of boiled potato through the air to make patterns with the steam that trailed behind it
Keep this up for a week and then I'll poll the jury.

Could you please tell Kate- because I hardly ever talk to her these days- that I too have been known to sweep the road with random sticks I've picked up. Also I've the done steam-pattern thing (except not with a potato but with a burning stick that was extinguished) and I even attempted to film it once but it didn't come out well. >.>
SHE'S EATING RANDOM PLANTSPARTS FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD? WHAT? WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP HER? Sheesh. No eating random plant parts enriched with fume exhaust!!!
p.s. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Roooome, happy birthday to you!
..er.
The story of eating cake to celebrate Rome's birthday is priceless! Someday when you start publishing your own books...I think you ought to include this!!
You and Terry Pratchett can work this into a Discworld story. Hmmm.
