Janet,

I like your "Dreary day again" story. It sounds autobiographical.

Martin, "to think" would probably be taken as a verb even if you meant it only as an interjection. Easy enough to change.

Enjoying everyone's, especially Marion's. This is harder than I thought. So far I have nothing.

Thanks, Bob. That verb-like interjection slipped in somehow. I'll remove it. Better to play it safe. I have a feeling you'll come up with something. Not much time left before the deadline, though.

Life good. Mama Kala much love in heart. Teeka nice girl. Cheetah good friend. Vine, river, splash—fun! But now—me different! Body not same. Strange feelings... Ooooh! Who that? Stranger! Girl -- like Teeka. But different-- more pretty! Nice smile. Strange talk. Who you? Strange name! Who me? Me Tarzan. You Jane.

omg ugg! [not to be confused with ugh. I've just come from the other one. the twittery. you go girl!]
