strangers in the niiight. i went to sleep with a smile on my face last night.. and i woke up on a cloud today and the rest flew by just as quick.. i woke up at noon and decided to trek to uxie just because it was sunny out.. and i could imagine myself driving in my car.. i miss driving. so i somehow got ready in 20 minutes and ran to the train station.. hah. i got greeted by jamie at the other end in her car blaring frank sinatra tunes.. that we ended up singing our hearts out to the entire way home.. we even had the hand gestures down like we were holding a cigarette and a glass of whiskey in the same hand as we sang.. i mean thats what frank wouldve done.. you can hear it in his voice. so we went out to lunch and she listened to me swoon and giggle..like only a real friend can.. and we went back to her house.. and shed made a new cd called something like.. 'obsession: songs to stalk people to' or something to that effect.. and we played it loud enough that it made our singing sound good.. and we sat on her couch and laughed and sang for a long time.. sometimes you need a little george michael..'kissing a fool'.. it makes you want to lie back on a piano in a slinky cocktail dress and sing seductively.. as only great lounge singers can.. its classic us. when the hell did we get so cool? hahaha. riiiiight. and in classic me fashion i waited until like 8:10 to look at the train schedule and realize the train was at 8:35.. we didnt even kid ourselves into thinking we could get there in time.. so i settled for the late train.. there are some characters on the T.. its saturday so here in college city usa every cool kid and his girl in a box is out. these two girls get on the train.. one in a really short miniskirt with red fishnets..she had her hair all crimped like she was from the 8os.. or a bad courtney love impression.. she was wearing a jean jacket.. she looked drunk.. i think i was probably the only one not drunk on the train. she annoyed me. her friend of course in bright pink fishnets clung to her as they both tried to stand through the ride. ugh. that irks me. stupid girls. stupid girls holding onto each other instead of gee.. i dont know.. maybe the metal pole made to hold on to? i cant explain it.. its that innocent ploy like reasoning behind why girls cling to each other that gets me.. like.. tee-hee we're so innocent, yet seductive.. come home with us so we can get you all worked up then giggle and run away. i sound like an angry boy. hah. im just a jaded girl? who knows.. as i was plotting the demise of these girls..and pondering what year they were from some boy in a corduroy jacket kept looking at me..i think he could read my thoughts. i think he hated them too. to my right was this group of kids.. probably 14 or 16 years old.. they talked like they were trying to live out scenes from the movie Kids. one boy was close to telly sounding.. i shouldve asked if he liked virgins.. but im here! im home. i walked in the door to no lights on and alot of insence burning.. it made me feel like i was entering a horror movie..or maybe a bad porn.. and someone was bound to be lurking behind door number 2.. but no cigar. no one was here. no porn stars. no stalkers or murderers.. just puppy. i guess even cats like insence.. who knows.. i think those instant brownies in a pan are the best. im making some now.. its never too late for brownies. i just wish the damn oven had numbers on it.. its hard to guess where 350 is.. did i mention i got an amazing email today? i cant say more than that.. because im still trying to formulate a reply.. because my heart is on my sleeve.. and i dont want just any passerby to steal it... :) my hands are cold.. life is good. |
