first of all – tonight christine was expressing great outrage over “coke zero.” she said “if there’s an artificial sweeter, i can taste it, and it tastes like CRAP.”

please, if you know what’s good for you, don’t try to get christine to drink a coke zero.

it’s just a gimmick anyway.

but now here’s the good logic from christine…you should have your friends be in charge of you.

maybe she just meant that MY friends should be in charge of ME. (pretty much meaning that she would be somebody who was vital to making my decisions for me).

or maybe she meant HER friends should be in charge of her.

whatever she meant, i think it’s a very sound and practical idea.

over the years, my best friends have given me advice which i’ve almost always not listened to.

but then they’ve ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT.

ALWAYS.

so it makes perfect sense that they should be put in charge of me.

but then again…

i was at floyd’s thirst parlor tonight. TOO SMOKEY.

smoke is very bad.

it was exciting, though, because i was with people from the play, and eventually pam seemed to want to pick a fight. she was eyeing this big guy with a UT hat on. she didn’t believe he really went to UT, but was wearing the hat because they WON. (the football game. involving another team. with much running, but mostly many many ads and men piling on top of each other).

but i thought it would be highly entertaining to see her take on this very large fellow.

didn’t happen.

oh well.

there’s always next time.

rehearsal was kind of hard tonight. i was a little too tired going in, and had to run up and down the stairs many times. i’m kind of afraid of this. no, pretty darn afraid. at least there’s a railing.

but see, i know i’ve said this before, but i CRASH INTO THINGS FOR NO REASON. so the likelihood of hurting myself when actually doing something a little tricky is pretty…likely.

on the way home i felt i had many more things to tell you tonight, but i guess that’s all for right now. very late.

ok then,

graceful grace.
