d... dude. the word of the day today is triskaidekaphobia - which is apparently a morbid fear of the number 13 or of friday the 13th. jesus. marian told me that the word of the day for my birthday was xenophobia, but i don't think it applied to me at all, really. i seem to get along with people from other countries better than i do with people from my own.

past words from my birthday have been: cajole, convivial and specious. i think cajole secretly applies to me, convivial doesn't apply to me at all right now and specious applies to everything that's happening to me right now. actually, specious is my new favorite word.

today has been a dry day with a walk downtown and with idiocy (the part of idiocy was played be me).
