I have a new birdy story for you. This time, it is much more morbid than before, but the morbidity is between the humans. I was sitting in my room, thinking about being alone and such, and my sister ran in screaming and crying that Spencer (our dog) attacked another bird, and that Michael was outside helping pick it up...

Of course, I had to help. Anything avoiding violence is.. my thing. So I ran outside screaming, "DON'T TOUCH IT, DON'T TOUCH IT!" Michael was outside, standing over the bird.. I screamed, "Get away, don't touch it."
"I'm gonna snap it's neck, go get me some gloves."
"NO YOU AREN'T! GET AWAY! GET OUT OF MY YARD!"
"No! ALYSHA, GO GET ME SOME GLOVES!" She shook her head 'no'.
"Get. Out."
"No, get me some gloves."
"You're not touching the bird, it's mine, and I'm gonna let it die here."
"That's disgusting."
"It's where it deserves to die, in nature."
"You're such a lesbo."
"Well, if I was, I could get more girls than you."
"So you ARE a lesbian."
"NO!" And I hit him. I slapped his arm. And he pushed me.
"Get out of my yard." He left, and Alysha went to get mom. Mom came, and threw it away. I was mad at her.. So angry.. That bird deserved to decay into the earth.. But now it will rot into a pile of half-used toys and trash bags at the city dump. That's not how it deserves to lose it's body.

Now, I will caution you to read the rest. It gives detail on what the dead bird looked like. Not for the light-hearted..

When Michael left, I sat and looked at it. It looked normal at first, but on closer inspection I noted that there was a large hole in its cheek. Its eye pooled of brown blood, and it's wings wilted lifelessly. There were little mites crawling all over its torso, and I felt a sickness come over me as I examined it. My eyes watered, and my vision blurred until I blinked back into reality..

That is a little birdy my latest little birdy story. Now for a summary of my day.

We went shopping, and I bought a new skirt for an upcoming festival. I hope Max will come, and when he sees this, he'd better call me. Anytime before 12AM is fine, pookie-kun. I also got an anklet. It said it was a wish anklet, and when you wear it, your wish for the bracelet will come true. I got the love anklet, so maybe I'll fall in deep, true love soon. Who knows?

We also went to get mom's car fixed, and I got my teeth checked to get my braces. And for future reference, I'm not a lesbian. I never will be. EVER. Don't you guys know how much it hurts knowing you think I'm a guy and a lesbian? Someday, I'll show you.

I'll show you all. You'll all wish you were me, or wish you'd been nice to me. Because my dreams are my future, and I'll make it bigger than even your egos. I'll make you sit in your one room trailers with your good-for-nothing husbands and twelve kids and make you cry and wish you were me. And wish you could have all the money and the love I'll have.

I'll make it someday, someday when my day comes.
