And while the world looks away...

"Guess who I sauw at a fucking blawck paaty in Brooklyn," my oldest friend in the world in commanding me through the phone line.

"I have no idea. Philthy?," I respond bracing for the impact of learning that she ran into my seventh grade boyfriend or some other equally unsavory member of my past and casually passed on my e-mail address.

Do you remember who you kissed under that skating reptile?

I remember one kid. He was from fucking Ronkonkoma. I didn't even know where Ronkonkoma was. I still don't. But he was cute. And I got his phone number. And I would make long distance calls to him during which we would spend hours amid an awkward silence. It thrilled my parents.

man. i hope you have medical insurance these days. roller derbies can really fuck a girl up. (or so i've heard.)

the most ttyki ever left for me when i was being negligent was shredded toilet paper and a tidy turd in the middle of the kitchen floor. of course, there was the time she peed in the corner because i was playing with a dog... but she did that while i was in the same room with her.

ps: it's a long shot, but see if there are any rummage sales going on at the local church. i just read someone's blog entry where they made off like bandits with loads of free vintage stuff.

I'm working on the insurance thing. It's in the works.

The cats are overwhelming me.

Yup--it's looking like I'm actually going to have to put a bit of effort into this chair thing. What a pain in the ass.

I heard there's a fantastic estate sale at 920 Penn! If you want to ride along, I'm hitting the ARCs and Savers all over town in search of costumes tomorrow.

I checked that one out today! Great stuff, just not what I'm looking for. Oh well, onward and upward. I hit most of the thrifties yesterday and I was considering garage saleing tomorrow or, gasp, heading out to the suburbs (though I fear what sort of furniture awaits me out there).

You never know- I bought my 50's sectional couch from a south suburban garage sale. It had been in their 'rumpus room' for decades and was in near perfect shape. Now the cats have ruined it, but it only cost me $10. If I ever get nice furniture the cats are getting those little plastic claw-covers.

denverbettie October 9 2004, 07:28:03 UTC

Jayne Manslaughter--you likey? Pug came up with it.

jellied October 9 2004, 07:28:50 UTC

of course i do. shoot, let me know when you have a match.

denverbettie October 9 2004, 07:30:34 UTC

I will! We need all the support (not to mention PBR drinkers) we can round up.

You capture the accent very well, but shouldn't that have been "pwaarties?" Are we to assume you have no such accent?

Were the cats responsible as a unit, or do you have one of them pinned as the culprit?

I need cookies.

denverbettie October 13 2004, 13:45:54 UTC

Pwaarties? What the? New Yorkers ditch the r...as in "I'm brushing my hai." My accent comes and goes depending on my level of sobriety.

Bentley is my absolute all-time angel. That's all I have to say about that.

E-mail me the postal digits. Cookies can be arranged. I have nothing else to do Vish and anyway, a birdie told me it was your b-day.
