it's 1.38 am on the
10th of july 2002.
for the first time in
weeks i am completely
ready to sleep
(even wearing a nightie
with winnie the pooh on the front!)
i've been ready for bed since midnight
but i can't sleep.
perhaps i drank too much coffee today
hmm.
i only had one cup at lunch, but two
after 8pm... silly me.

anyway... they say 'carpe diem'?
so i thought- why don't i do something productive,
like website-ness!

so here i am
again (again)


11/6/02 (christchurch, nz)

inauspicious day of joy

my morning shadow's
elongated, elegant
and quite unlike me

i feel dangerously inclined towards polygamy today...
toady :)
looks a bit like today
so yes here i am (again, if there was a before for you... and if
this is your first encounter with me then hello!!)
today (toady) is a beautiful day, warm norrrwest wind and sunny sun sunshining... 
doo be doo... marissa is technically sleep deprived and 
caffeinated but practically feeling wonderful! wunderbar! i am
rather hyperrrrractive at the moment, and singing songs like
as i was walking down the street
a dinosaur, i chanced to meet
i said 'good morning dinosaur,
what are you doing in my street?'
i can't remember if that is an actual song (from my notsolongago childhood) or 
i made it up but yay! i will sing it for you if you want me to. somehow, someday...
dum de dum
you can think and wonder
wonder and think
how much water can fifty five elephants drink?
a la dr seuss :)
mmm i have assignment to finish at uni, and room to tidy (toady) and i have 
enough energy so i may as well do both! smoath! oath!
*bounce*
and, as usual, (or 'for your information', if you have not been here before) i have 
dwelt for some time in my non-working-on-website cocoon and i emerge 
reguvenated (spelling?) and enthusiastic towards writingeverydayinmydiary! and 
makingmywebsiteawonderfulplace!
and perhaps my personality has changed a bit
or maybe i'm still the same strange soul you know so well
or maybe you don't know me at all
until now :)
but whatever the case may be, i hope to provide you with vague amusement, 
light refreshment, and in-flight entertainment. but no salted peanuts (they are *evil*) ciao!

now that i like you
i'll make you for a haiku
haiku likes you too

i like write haiku
are you like write haiku too?
YOUR ENGLISH IS POOR

a very woofly jumper

you have - new mail
you have - new male

come! to the assorted happy places!!
where all good things are had for breakfast!

ass stir risks
nose object

i'm glad i sleep alone because i fart a lot
i fart
i've heart

04/07/02 (colombo, sri lanka)

wo wo yay yay... i love you more than i can say
i love you twice as much tomorrow wo wo
love you more than i can say

saw a van today with PLEASE KEEP DISTANCE DEAR in red
lettering diagonally on rear window
and a trishaw with Express Way above back window,
All For The Best sideways to the right and
Cherio in italic script below

what goes through the minds of the people who decorate their
vehicles in such a way??!

(later i saw this quote on the back of
another trishaw:
IF FACE BEAUTY FOUND IN THE HEART)
