you should come to my house or call me or something something. my mother's gone for the week, and i am off today. and also slightly hungover, debating whether to drink more water, or just get an early start on tonight's drinking. don't worry, i'm kidding, sorta.

and that, part two, just posted as planned, the third and final to follow. a series of interconnecting dreams had last week, transcribed faithfully, frightening parts and no. are you off again soon? i just may call you to find out. party at your house?
why not?
your email hasn't been written yet. where's my email? you're the one with the computer 17 steps from your bed! yes, 17, i counted once.

okay, then, i'll write you one.
did you really? i'll have to do so myself, now.
