i come to see how the balloons are doing

yes (nods head in agree to self-produced thought). I have been to every thrift/consignment/vintage store in uptown. it was a battle, but i made it through...

even though it pisses off jo, i am never getting my ears pierced. clips and screw backs are so much better especially because you can only get used ones, which are so much special. step out of the spotlight stutz, i finally found some delightful clip backs. the war is on.

we went to this one thrift you store which was so jam packed with stuff it was dizzying. you could not even get to a quarter of the store because all this stuff was piled up above your heads. I managed to find a fist edition sinclair lewis (babbit!) novel from 1935. It was very exciting and the very irish man workiutng there gave it to me for $20, when it was priced $30 because I am young and people feel bad for young-ins who have no money but still pretend they can afford an antique book collection. in a consignment store i found a red longchamp backpack, the exact one i was asking for for chirstmas for only $40. go me. i saved 70 dollars.

at breaky this morning (where i got eggs benny!) there was this old lady sitting across from us. she was one of those fabulous old ladies and pointed out a branch across the street that had some popped white balloon remnants on it. she told us how she has been coming back every day since she saw those balloons get caught in there the a couple days ago. no one is allowed to steal this. it was the most lovely thing i have ever heard in my life. period.

i dont have to go back to school for a week. please let it be a long one.

i need to admit that i just watched beavis and butthead. no more explanation is needed or desired.
