i killed my dinner with karate

[ticklishfish]

i'm exhausted.
i worked something stupid like 40 hours last week.
one of my roommates wrote me a hot rent check,
so i've been stressed like crazy about money. rarrrrhhh.

but cafe rani is good, thus far, the money is good,
the kids are nice, and maybe i should quit my other job?
maybe i should just go to school more, and then maybe
i wouldn't have to be a waitress for the rest of my life.

i just read online that this kid from lsu that i sort of knew
got hit by a car on nicholson and died on saturday.
i just knew him through other people, but last summer,
i drunkenly made out with him at the spanish moon. death is strange.

i finally bought a plane ticket. u.s. airways flight 26 (a good omen??)
will take me to paris on june 22nd. and home on july 13th.

also, i forgot elizabeth's birthday.
for a week. i am a bad person.
guilt overwhelms me when i think of it.

i need to go to france. really, i need a snowcone.
and to watercolor more. and a cookie, right now.
and to make those scarf necklaces i've been thinking about for a month now.

maybe a nap.
