A Long-Overdue Visit


*Two very strange girls sitting on the bus each holding a latex glove. What are they discussing? How they can use these gloves to make a movie, the stars being the gloves which would be inflated. The script was in it's beginnings when they had to descend from the bus.*

*The same two girls, sitting in a bedroom. One is holding a bunch of bobby pins. One pin is holding another ten. These pins are lined up so that when you strum them, they will make a "wind chime" noise. Together they have invented a very morbid song from one they heard on television earlier. Both of them perform it for family and get a mix of laughter and "eww!"'s

"Way up North when you are sleeping
There are wolves that eat your flesh.
Once you were all nice and living
Now you're just a hunk of mesh.

Mesh is like a chocolate pudding.
It is wet and creamy too.
If it were dried up and put in a box,
Jello would be it's cousin, Ooze."*

These two girls were childhood friends who did so many things together. Me and Lexy. We sang together in a choir, we went out together, we had movie nights where we ate ourselves sick with junk food (Joe-Louies and pizza), had sleep overs, dressed up, sewed and never finished our projects...


Then, we just didn't see each other much. We still lived close by but we seemed to have gone our separate ways.

Who should I get together with just the other day? ALEXIS. She came over to meet Matty. It was so nice. The amazing thing with her and I is that though we can go over a year without talking, our friendship goes so far back that when we see each other again, we try and pick up where we left off. Like it had only been a week.


She brought flowers for me and we sat and chatted about the past two years and all too quickly the evening was over. It was so nice to see her again. I hope it doesn't take the birth of another baby to see each other again.
