If You Were Here, I Could Deceive You

When she is out of class by 2 on Monday, she wonders what to do with herself. She runs around to get exercise. She takes a shower. She goes out to Duane Reade and buys medicine, which makes her feel vaguely more adult. She forgets her scarf in her room and dunks her entire right foot in a puddle outside, but she isn't really bothered. She considers getting a movie out of the library - some french movie called Jules et Jim.

She listens to the theme from Sixteen Candles ("If You Were Here") and is sad that it's over too soon. Also, "Shambala," the next track, annoys her a little. She'll change the song.

Ah yes! She has such fantastic knowledge of what she wants to hear! "With a Girl Like You" by the Troggs. She would smile inwardly, but the mild headache says, "no." She still isn't really bothered. She remembers that she can touch her nose to her knees again (hadn't been attempted in a while) and she is happy.

Why does the theme from "Benny Hill" play so often on her playlist? Outrage! Her labors will never end. She enjoyed her first Frontiers lecture. It was like one big party, overpowered by one man's discussion of the origins of the universe. She's unsure if she's ever had a truffle - the mushroom, not the confection. She'd consider trying one.

Her fingers are freezing off!
