The Tippy Top

On my toes.....the tippy top.

Things that I bought for myself today,

The new Nylon with Zooey Deschanel on the cover.
National Geographic with Spain on the cover.
A new spin toothbrush plus toothpaste.
Paper.
Double sided tape.
An ink pad.

What I really need to buy is a life. Oh, and an A in Spanish.

Less and Less

I miss you less and less everyday.

Bought Out

Rathbuns was bought out for tonight. Thank you Charles Schwab for affording me the privilege of getting paid to type this. They probably used their last dollars to throw this investment party. I hope that it was worth it for them in the end. I want Reinares and YOU to be my new lover. I can see it going well.

October

There are so many things that I should be doing other than writing this. I should be writing a story and a paper about metaphor. I should be conjugating verbs and showering. I should be walking and driving and screaming and smashing. I should be cleaning. I should be deciding what I am going to wear tomorrow. I should be reading Flannery O'Connor's story "A Good Man Is Hard to Find."

October is going to bring good things. Pumpkins, my birthday, candy, costumes, cool weather, the mountains and leaves. All I want is for it to be October. Nothing can go wrong in the month of October.

Who Would Want A Blind Girl?

I fear that I am going blind. My eyes get all red all the time and sometimes they get blurry. They hurt and itch and sometimes it is all too much. Every now and again I turn out all the lights and try to imagine that I really am blind. I grope the room a little while until I can't stand it anymore and then I allow myself to turn the lights on again. Or as Benjy would say, I let the room come back. I think about who would still be my friend if I were blind and how my life might work. Then I freak myself out too bad and I watch TV for a good 30 minutes to an hour so that I will stop thinking about it. After all...who would want a blind girl?

The End of the World

This morning I knew what the end of the world will be like. Shapes falling from the sky destroying everything in their path. This will happen for hours until the finale. The sky will illuminate with a thin band of light that will cover the horizon. Alien images will appear and that one final shape will fall. I know who survives. And when they do....they all go swimming in a pool filled with ocean water and live off of bananas they find in their neighbor's apartment.
