2:36pm Last night was weird. I went to the room to log, because Clea wfas busy on the computer, yet still able to talk to me non-stop. I keep feeling like I need to leave already. I feel like this is totally going to sidetrack me and my mission and end up hurting both of us when I leave anyway. Worse if I wait any longer. Thing is, my mom bought got me a bus ticket that doesn't leave until the 19th, six days away.
Clea eventually came into the room and I told her, "We need to talk." I told her how I was feeling and that it would just be more painful the longer I waited. She got real sad, but she said she understood. So we came to a mutual-decision. Have I mentioned how much I love Clea? In the end she said she doesn't mind me sleeping at her house, but that she's going to be busy. I told her I would just walk around and find people to tell my story to.
Oh yeah, last night Clea
stayed up working on a school paper and I went to bed early. Around 2am she came to bed and that woke me up. I stayed up talking to her until after she left, then I crashed out again. When I woke up I heard this male voice in the house.
I just realized I didn't finish telling you about yesterday. See, I was trying to call the weed-guy Brad and his phone would never work. He finally answered and told me to meet him in the Subway Parking lot on 10th Street. I walked all the way over there in the rain and he eventually walked up with a thug friend. He told me that he needed the money, that he would go get it and come back. I told him, "I can't go with you? I've been burned too many times." He said, "I'm not going to burn you. You know where I hang out. I got your number, you got mine." Well, since I wanted to get high so bad I trusted him and give him the thirty bucks. He told me to give him like twenty minutes. Twenty minutes went by and I called his cellphone. Clea let me borrow hers. The number didn't work again. I was pissed. I kept calling his cellphone until eventually somebody answered and said, "Rolla Police Department." I said wrong number and hung up, instinctively. That's total bullshit though. That fucker burned me. Dude, I should've really asked him for some kind of collateral. Lesson learned.
Anyway, upset, I walked over to Clea's house. When I open the door, to my surprise I see these two highschool aged kids. I assumed Clea was in her room but she ended up going to the liquor store to use the ATM, to get money for weed! Turns out all these highschool kids hang out in the parking lot behind Clea's place. They had been honking the horn all loud and Clea walked out there. They told her they could score some weed. She invited them
in and they eventually scored us a dinky twenty sack, so I got high after all.
Today I woke up and heard a voice. It was one of those highschool kids, Fabian. Clea was smoking him out. I got up and waked and baked. I got to tell Fabian my whole Odyssey and in the end he volunteered me thirteen dollars! I bought him two packs of cigarettes at the liquor store and he told me to keep the change, for the cause. Then, he gave me one of the packs too!
Fabian was skipping school until three. Clea left, so I packed up my day bag and me and Fabian went to the liquor store for the cigarettes. Then I got the idea to go to the library and show him that Leaf Blower video. We did then we walked into town and I found me a beautiful girl to tell my story to. She was all ears and nods saying Right at every point I made. In mid-presentation Fabian's mom pulls up and he left. I forgot when to meet Clea. I locked her place up. I'm going to try and get a dimebag.
3:58pm Holy shit! That was rad. Oh yeah, I didn't tell you. That day when I returned to the yard sale I also grabbed a red beret for Clea and a rainbow clown wig.
It's my new rainbow beanie! I've been walking around Rolla with it on. I also have my faded WPTMJ shirt on. I'm fearless. Anyway, I walked down Pine Street and asked where a dollar menu was. I had thirteen bucks. I got directed to this fast-food strip with McDonald's, Wendy's, Little Caesar's, Pizza Hut, etc. First, I walked into the Little Caesar's and hit them up for mistakes. The girl told me no, so I went straight for the Pizza Hut across the street. I went inside and asked, "Do you have any mistakes you could hook me up with?" They didn't understand me. Then, this beautiful girl Haley asks me, "Do you want some of my pizza??" She had just started eating a thin crust with chicken. I said sure and I logged her generosity. Then the shift leader, forgot his name, asks me, "Do you like Supreme?" I ate and went outside to smoke a cigarette. Haley
came out to join me and I kept going on my story. I got all the way to the Johnny Appleseed part and she had to go back inside. I took a hit of weed and smoked a cigarette. Haley had filled up my water bottle with lemonade too.
While I was outside smoking, the manager comes out and hands me a plastic grocery bag with six twenty ounce bottles of Tropicana Lemonade! So I've got a whole Supreme Pizza to take back to Clea's. I can't believe it's taken me so long to walk around this town.
6:03pm It was cool. I carried the pizza home(to Clea's). She still wasn't home. Oh wait, I walked Pine to the college and checked to see if she was working. She wasn't, so I went looking for her at the Giddy Goat. She was there. I told her about all my good fortune.
