2001-07-28 - 8:04 p.m. last night i went with ricky to winston to pick her up at his granny's house. his granny is the sweetest woman in the world and i love her to death. as soon as she saw me she came and gave me a big hug. that's one of the reasons i love ricky's family so much. i am a hardcore family person, and they take me in as their own. i just love it and eat it up. i consider myself part of the family and i think they do as well. gotta love them. i think my favorite thing all day was when i got to see the elephants. they are my favorite animals in the world. i think i like asians elephants the best, but the african elephants were beautiful too. we saw the gorillas and i got kinda sad. one of them was sitting by the window and it looked so sad. i wanted to cry, i really did. it really makes you think is about why we have them here. yeah, it's cool to be able to go and see different animals from all over the world, but is satisfying our curiosity justification enough for sacrificing their happiness? it just made me think alot about it. i don't think i have ever thought much about it because i never go to the zoo. it just really makes you think. well, i think i am going to take a nap now. i need it. i have been on my feet outside for 7 hours and i am going to have to deal with a tipsy mom tonight, so i will need to get some energy. hope i make it though the night. i also wish that my mom would call me. i have not heard from her since she got to san antonio yesterday. i think i will call my daddy. yeah, i will. he needs to hear his daughter's voice anyway. |
