Sinister: meepmeep

[Kirsten Kenyon]

   it's funny, a sunday morning, driving down the street...leslie 
came over yesterday.  she thought it might be fun to do something for 
halloween...nothing much.  we went to the diner and had some coffee 
and she had a cheeseburger, and we were listening to something in her 
car and i asked her what it was, and she said something that sounded 
like "oz sumate these" and i said "what?" and she said it again and i 
asked again and this happened a few more times and finally i just 
gave up and said "oh. hm." it was really confusing, too, because i 
knew all of the songs.  later on when i went to get my bag out of the 
trunk, i found the case for the cd and felt very very silly.  
   leslie's the one who lives in the castle house.  it's actually 
called "the castle," and apparently it's one of the oldest houses in 
the area....built in 1890, which is quite old for the usa.  there are 
lions carved over the windows, and they're creepy.  leslie told us a 
scary story about the house, but it wasn't scary so much as it was 
sad.  us...yes, melissa came over as well, and asked me for a 
cigarette so i gave her one, and then the whole time she smoked it 
she talked about how much she hates smoking and said "dammit kirsten, 
you're a bad influence."  it's not like i had offered a 
cigarette....ach.  well.  
    we drank some....and i found some shimmery blue powder and we 
started having fun....leslie got out shiny grey garbage bags, and we 
found glitter and tape....and within fifteen minutes we were three 
mod spacewomen, and i kept saying "meepmeep" and melissa kept walking 
with her arms at her sides and her hands out at a ninety degree 
angle, and leslie kept taking photographs.  we went down the street 
to a place called halisco's, and there was a boy with wings that 
nearly touched the ground.  and we saw the hamburglar, too, and a lot 
of girls who seem to use halloween as an excuse to wear very little 
clothing.  the line for the rocky horror picture show stretched all 
the way around the block last night...we thought for a minute about 
going, but leslie's friend from class who works there would have 
spotted us in a second and made us do not-so-nice things on the 
stage.  so.  halisco's.  we ordered a pitcher of margaritas and they 
were the color of ecto-cooler.  stopped across the street for 
cigarettes, and a woman poked her head into the station and 
said "what are you s'posed to be?" and laughed.  i think melissa said 
something.  i think i said "meep" very quietly. 
   now it is 10:00 AM and i've just gotten home from leslie's, and i 
have to go open the shop.  oh this is going to be a swell day, i can 
already tell.  i'm never going to get all of this glitter off.  byebye
  love kirsten
oz sumate these...sheesh.
