hoppy holidaze!!!

sunday was a bright day, yesterday

polly was really really little when 9/11 happened. she wasn't even in school yet. she was sitting on the floor in the ashram playing tetris on her gameboy when a lady came in & said something's happened. everybody turned on their cell phone & then everybody's cell phone started ringing, all at once. polly heard lots of sirens outside. all of the students had to leave & mama closed the yoga school. everybody was scared & that made polly scared. polly didn't know what was happening & nobody would tell her anything. mama held her hand so hard it hurt. papa was in kona visiting family.

polly doesn't even remember how they got home.

at home mama watched tv all day long, which she never did before. even in the afternoon when it was time for the power rangers & yugio she still watched the news. polly knew better than to ask to watch yugio because mama looked so scared & sad. the sky was grey & full of ash & smoke & polly asked mama if it was snowing. mama cried & polly was scared so she just stayed in her room & played more tetris.

later that nite polly fell asleep under her window. she kept watching the skies in case another airplane crashed into her building.

ps happy birfday moby

polly o'riley

so daljit got the idea they should learn to play baba o'riely by the who. even though nobody plays keyboards, daljt said she could work it out on her laptop & they could just play along with it. polly thought the song sounds ok though there's not much singing for her to do. marie-claire said if they learn it in time they should play it at the coffehaus as a 9/11 tribute. polly wondered what that song had to do with 9/11 & marie-claire said it was uplifting & would give people hope & make them feel better.

daljit & darshana were still in manchester when 9/11 happened. maddie was upstate at her grandma's house because her dad was being investigated by the feds. polly can't even look at a picture of the towers without getting a stomach ache. everybody says the world changed that day but polly can't remember what it was like before 9/11.

polly hates 9/11. it's the only thing she can think of she really hates except for maybe animal cruelty or racism or guns.

happy birfday virgo

here's polly dressed up as virgo, the shy angel. at first polly really really liked the angel wings because it had real feathers but then she thought about all the birds it took to make the wings & it made her sad. those birds needed the feathers way more than she did!

some famous virgosians are beyonce knowles, sean connery, hugh grant, jada pinket smith, salma hayak, rose mcgowan & sofia loren!

hearts frum polly

happy birfday leo

here's polly dressed as the queen of everybody & the entire universe for all you leos out there. when polly put on this dress everybody smiled & talked about how pretty she looked & how nice her hair was & that made polly wonder if leos feel like that all the time. some famous leos are madonna, hillary swank, wesley snipes, antonio banderas, tom green, kate beckinsale & gillian anderson!

happy birthday cancer

happy birthday to all you cancerians.
q: why is polly wearing a spacesuit like she's on a moonwalk?
a: b/c the moon is cancer's ruling planet, silly!

polly didn't like that spacesuit, it was old & smelled funny. she liked that they found her a pink one though. some famous cancerians are: pamela anderson, kevin bacon, vin diesel, ringo starr, harrison ford, louis armstrong, marc chagall & nelson mandela!

god gave rock & roll to grandma

daljit & darshana & maddie came down one day early! that will be fun even though grandma will probably make everyone work in the restaurant. darshana wasn't going to go at first but then daljit talked her into it. maddie got bob her driver to take them in the towncar so they loaded it up with guitars & amps & microphones just like a real band. maddie brought the electric drumkit because it didn't take up as much space. her brother was home from college & taught her how to twirl the drumsticks which looks really cool & now she takes her drumsticks everywhere so she can practice. while polly was away the girls learned a whole new song, god gave rock & roll to you by kiss. polly said it wouldn't take her long to learn the lyrics or how to sing it.

she said they could play it for grandma because she'll think the song's religious.
