yesterday was my day off. i decided to drive an hour west to madison to do a bit of shopping....sometime in the early afternoon, i was sitting in my car in a parking structure, nervously fumbling through my pockets for the scrap of paper with elise's phone number on it. i hoped she wasn't busy...ten minutes later, there was a rendevouz at the cat's meow, and soon after we traded secrets and spent a lovely afternoon traipsing around madison, trying on dresses and funny little hats, eating ice cream cones, staring wide-eyed at a hello kitty sticker photo booth, and giggling at vibrating nipple clamps. and we saw spats, too. the gift for the man who has everything. elise is positively lovely, and i could not have wished for a better day off. my mom just looked up from the newspaper and nonchalantly informed me that i "missed a good sermon at church yesterday." it was strange...she said it as though it were something uncommon. missing church, that is. i mumbled something. and she said "yah, it was about living every day like it's your last." then she said "oooh, look, another review for amelie" and something about the "cute girl." she went back to reading. all i can think is that this better not be my last day, or i'll be pretty bummed. well, i guess i won't, really, because...well. you know what i mean.... tonight started innocently enough. jon was studying for a botany exam. leslie and i were scribbling in a notebook. then things just got out of hand...the botany sketches...animals were added...various props were added...a masterpiece was created in blue ink..."bambi" meets "i love you, alice b. toklas." (a horrid film....but if you've never seen peter sellars with his shirt off...well. heh. it's fun.) we were sitting around and giggling and acting like total idiots, and the waitress came over and saw, and she laughed. she has this laugh that sounds like "ss-ss-ss" and it's quite irritating. once she tried to make me a lutheran, and i said no thank you and now she gives me funny looks all the time. if i were to live as though this were my last day.....i wonder what i'd do. *shrug* love kirsten Care2 make the world greener! http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
