yesterday we went to the boardwalk with rays friends- i was so tired i could barely comprehend any of what they were saying. but i got to see the ocean and it reminded me of home because the ocean looks the same everywhere on the east coast at night time apprently. then we went to dennys and i slept the whole way there. i think rays friends hate me.
this morning i set my alarm so that i would get up while ray was at school and mow the lawn, but i kept hitting the snooze button and didnt wake up until noon. then eventually i glanced out the front window and saw ray zooming around the yard on the riding lawn mower at incredible speeds, flying around the corners like a bat out of hell. he missed a big chunk of grass.
we went and ate gelati- a crazy concoction of water ice and ice cream. it was realllly good but i had a brain freeze like 30 times because i was so excited about this new food and was eating it too fast. we went to the art museum and ran up the stairs like in rocky- ray beat me but only because i was running one stair at a time and he was doing like 3 and 4 at a time. i felt like i was gonna puke by the time that i got to the top. we saw about 40 kids on roller blades just hanging out at the top. i bet it was some kind of school field trip or birthday party or something.
then we went and drank coffee- i got a fortune and it said i would be getting new clothes soon. that fortune sucked because it was lying to me.
we saw the 40 roller blading kids again.
we walked really far to rays friends house- i thought my legs were going to fall off. we were sitting outside getting ready to go for a walk when this bum came up and started talking to us. he wasnt a day over 30 and was telling us that he was a retired veteran with 3 wives and 4 kids but he got to keep the house and he said he grew up in brooklyn but he pronounced it brook-lawn. then he asked for 68 cents- what an odd number- and rays friend said he didnt have any money. this infuriated the man, whose name was mark porter, and he got all riled up and said he wasnt talking to that kid and he could have 300 men over there to shoot him because they didnt care if they went to jail or not. he told me i would be his future lawyer or doctor- doubtful.
ray made me go inside eventually i think he thought it was gonna get rough. so i talked to the kids roommate until they came in.
we walked for what seemed like forever and eventually came to this diner. there was a girl there with a collapsing bike. instantaneously i thought she should join bicycle mafia.
she let me ride the bike. it was a little wobbly, but hey, arent all bikes?
so what i think im going to do is... go to school in florida before i move, because that way i wont have to pay for it since i have florida prepaid college thingy program. then when im done go to california. from what i hear, ron jeremy and i have the same shorts. i hope i dont look as gross as he does. there are so many italian people here, i love it!
carrie, whenever i hear a lady talk, i think about aunt sissy.
lorenzos pizza and water ice are my new favorite foods.
ive walked like 184 miles so far this week.
somethings going on with saul and carrie and jean ann and i??? i guess??? i dunno- i know you read this saul- unless you're stupid you should know by my entires that carrie and i have known each other for forever. you know im from jacksonville, and i live in new jersey not philly. and i do NOT live in jersey city. and i dont even talk to jean ann?????
