i think what's most interesting is that no one seems to care about the monkey situation. i even made majestic unicorn suncatchers to show how deep my love is.

interesting turn of events. i agree with john cotter, of all people! it's about the monkey thing and he totally supports the getting of a monkey. jaime is still under the impression that i won't be able to take care of a monkey, but that's because she's clearly heartless.
