just disregard that first song i'm listening to. yes.
this morning was so dramatic! excitement! tragedy! resolution! :giggle:
well, last night first of all, layla came over, and i was able to partake of marijuana. not enough to totally make me a retard, just rather silly. i can contain it anyway. that helped, being able to just calm down. i was still pissy et cetera, but to a much lesser extent.
so i was supposed to take layla and her mom to the airport this morning at 6:20. i dozed off around 5:00 a.m., expecting to wake up soon; i can usually do that if i know i can only sleep for an hour. i get a phone call at 7:20 from a very frantic layla, so after emptying my back seat and trunk of boxes for packing up (moving soon! eee!) i trudged over there in my southpark shirt and banana pajamas.
well, right as we're going to leave, we discover raja (layla's cat) is missing. nowhere in the house. her mom tells me while she's outside, "i had the door open last night some." internally i thought, oh god, but just mustered up a look that politely conveyed, oh no. layla said she'd leave once she found raja, so i took her mom up to the airport. in the car, we had this conversation, starting with her:
"i can just tell them that she's been sick this morning and ask for a later flight. they usually make exceptions. i was thinking of telling them she had a fever, but i'm afraid they'll think she has SARS. we'll be quarantined or something. maybe i can say she has cramps and hope it's a woman."
"you should say she's been throwing up all morning."
"i guess. is that a SARS thing?"
"i don't think so. i use it a lot, though."
"ok."
when we got to the curbside check-in, her mom tells the guy, "my daughter's just been vomiting all morning and i was wondering if we could get another flight because - "
"no problem. let me check the next flight."
well, that was easy. we parked in the garage so she could go inside to change their tickets, but she couldn't find hers and layla kept hers. we returned home and lamented the disappearance of raja. layla made flyers and went to put them up. as she was sitting on her loveseat, i lying on the fuckindaybed, her mom at the table, we hear a faint, frightened meow. layla freaked out, and we all ran to her room, where we saw raja sitting on the window sill where he usually sits, only on the outside. she ran out to get him, and when he was returned everyone showered him with affection. he was very dirty and grimy, but she just gave him a bath.
now they've got a flight for 5:40 p.m., and all is right with the world, especially considering her mom bought us banana nut crunch! aah! :D
layla's mom: "i think she ate a blue jay. i've been seeing them, and i like them."
"layla: "that doesn't mean she ate one."
"if i were a cat, i'd want to eat one."
"i'd eat one of those black birds. they're annoying."
"they're big, though."
"so?"
"they'd give you indigestion."
"not if i were a big animal like a snake. wait, that's not big."
