She came from Greece. She had a thirst for knowledge.
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College.
That's where I--caught her eye.
She told me that her dad was loaded.
I said, in that case I'll have a rum and Coca-Cola.
She said fine, and in thirty seconds time she said...
I wanna live like common people.
I wanna do whatever common people do.
I wanna sleep with common people.
I wanna sleep with common people like you.
Well, what else could I do? I said, I'll see what I can do!
I took her to a supermarket.
I don't know why, but I had to start it somewhere.
So it started there!
I said, pretend you've got no money.
She just laughed and said, oh, you're so funny!
I said, yeah? Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here!
Are you sure you want to live like common people?
You want to see whatever common people see?
You want to sleep with common people?
You want to sleep with common people like me?
But she didn't understand...
(a different one:)

So I told my dad about the camera, he was surprisingly calm about, and
isn't mad at me. It wasn't my fault, except that I should have kept my
bags with me the entire time. I feel a little bit better now--but I
still have this urge to just find the person who took it and disembowel
the fucker. Unfortunately, I can only wish bad karma on them.
Tonight is kenneth's first show!! I wish I could have gone, hopefully
the next one won't be on a school night. I also couldn't go to the Of
Montreal show, that blew.
All this week Daniel has driven himself to school! It's so exciting!
His mom went to Las Vegas to pick up the first child--drew, and bring
him home. She's back now, so he won't be driving himself anymore. Dang.
I've been thinking about the whole "emo" thing. I think there's alot of
that in most of us, not that it's bad thing or anything. Angst is a
teenagery thing, we can't really help it (as long as it's not
excessive). I guess it's like the whole radicalism ideal, there are a
few who are just, well, crazy. I dunno. I think swoops are funny, and
mildly attractive. Also, alot of emo clothes are beautiful. I hate
feeling bad about liking certain clothes, but seriously--$75 for some
thrift store quality blouse, this brings reason to my prejudice of rich
emo hags. Like the freshman. Clearly we, we being the seniors/my
friends, appreciate money and are aware that it won't be provided for
us. Rich kids piss me off. They can have all the cameras they want, and
what do they do? Buy skirts that they could have made in 3 hours. God
damn.
I was also thinking about how our society rejects sex, in many ways.
It's uncouth and vulgar most of the time. I hate that. I dunno, perhaps
I should move to europe.
William Shatner is the shiznit.
I found my purple satchel! One out of five!
