dear diary

i just remembered something and i dont know if it actually happened or if it was the alcohol.
on my way home this guy comes to me in the bus and introduces himself and says that we work in adjacent buildings and he always sees me around blabla. i mean i always see him around too but im not gonna tell him that that's for sure! but anyway. then he told me the most amazing thing. he works on butterflies. he's trying to identify the genes responsible for wing color and wing pattern in two different species. and then he said that he's going to be growing so many of them soon and that i can go and check them out. then he told me about those mice that have recently migrated to the shores and have since evolved a sandy skin color that is exactly the color of the sand on those shores as a type of camouflage. and that he thinks the genes are similar to the ones he's looking for in the butterflies.. other than that all i remember is that he was chewing a huge gum with an open mouth- while talking mind you. why do people do that? please stop! no. it's NOT cool.

laila,

seems it was both: it happened and it was the alcohol. Plus, some people firmly believe it's cool to chew gum with an open-mouth. It requires good and expert technique to master it!

who doesn't like butterflies? come on laila, it's butterflies! they come from heaven and all that..

so if it was just a dream, you are drawn to butterflies in mixed-emotion kind of way, for some reason.

i love butterflies myself. seriously, how can you go wrong with butterflies? i think you should go take this guy up on the offer so that we can all find out how one can go wrong with butterflies.
