Dear little diary on my bedside,
Opaque is still in my room. You should hear the conversation I had with Ann yesterday. I think I remember most of it.

Me: So, have you ever had any problems with your chickens disobeying?
Ann: They're chickens, what orders could you give them?
Me: Yah, I guess your right. They can be pretty noisey though.
Ann: Only when they are frightened.
Me: Oh.. well what would you do if you had a chicken that wouldn't move.
Ann: You mean like a deformed hen? while papa usually shoots it, and we bury it in the cememtery.
Me: Oh..

So looks like I either need to buy a rifle, or a chicken pillow. This is just great! Why can't I ask anyone for help? They are not going to judge me on one little thing.
Russer is getting mad, I stole his food dish for opaque. Poor old guy.

Dear little diary on my beside,
I am growing some turnips. They are real swell. Russer keeps trying to jump the fence to try and get into the yard. I can't blame him, yesterday the turnips looked so good I almost picked them. This morning this guy was sleeping in Russers dog house, he kept moaning about being hunrey. So I gave him a rice roll. He then ran off with a hawk following him. Weird.
I think the pastor is mad at me. I haven't been going to church lately. He doesn't understand that a farmer is always busy and can rarely make time for anything. Sheesh, did he expect me to pass up a chance to pick berries with Karen? I don't think so!
Kai is being a total Jerk. When I went to pick up Karen on Sunday to go berry picking, he grabbed me by the shirt and was all like; "You don't lay a finger on her, yah hear. Cause if you do I will kick your ass!" It was a rather funny site, because Kai is a scrawny little thing, and here I am a 6'3" farmer getting told off by a little shrimp. I let him have his fun.
Opaque is still in my room. I think I am growing rather fond of the little guy.

Dear little diary on my bedside,
Kai almost beat me up today. Karen asked me to come swimming with her at the beach, so I was all like "sure" I came to pick her up at her house, and I was standing there in my bathing suit trunks. When Kai comes out.
Kai: "Where yah going with no clothes on?"
Me: "To the beach with Karen."
Kai: "My karen?"
Me: "No, Karen."
Kai: "You saying karen isn't my girl?!?"
Me: "Yes, I am saying she isn't your girl. She is NO ONE's girl"
Kai: "Shut yer trap"

He comes over and starts trying to punch me in the face, except I am too tall for him. Then Karen came out and started getting mad at kai. He just sort of slunk off into the corner. Apologizing and stuff. Heh so we went on our way to the beach. I had a total blast. A whole bunch of people were there. Popurri was there and she was like hanging off my shoulders and laughing at everything I said. Then when we were swimming. She faked drowning until she realized I was too busy talking to Karen to do anything. When Karen was changing into clothes I picked her some flowers, and when she came out I gave them to her. Popurri was right there and just about died.
She started screaming; "I planted those! Those are MY flowers! You can't just pick them like that!" Then Karen got all mad "Flowers don't belong to anyone!" And then she threw them on the ground. So much for trying to impress her.

The goddess festival is tomorrow and I haven't asked anyone yet. If worse comes to worse I am sure Popurri will go with me.
