timelines

Park and I spoke and decided it would be a good brainstorming exercise if everyone chronicled some memories of monte carlo. Below is my timeline:

September 2005
I was sitting with Drew Clark in the commons on the grass. I didn't know you yet and I heard Drew say, "What is Park doing?" with a little laugh. I looked up and you were casually walking around on the second story in nothing but your crisp white boxer shorts. It was like the world was your living room.

I walked up the stairs and saw your dreadlocks and you were so small and had huge earrings in, and I thought, "oh great, she's a pothead." And then later we passed around your sketchbook and it was so beautiful and I was jealous. And then finally we became friends, probably around the second handle of bacardi.

You had really curly blonde hair and it was really bouncy or maybe you were really bouncy. You circled closer into my periphery because Drew Clark had a crush on you. I was standing with the two of you at a party and you kept banging the back of your hand against the wall saying, "I can't feel anything, see? I feel nothing!"

Siobhan was the last one to put her stuff in the car but the Monte Carlo was already filled with things like sparklers and the fog machine. She pulled out the handle of fog juice and was like, "really?"

water with nice white stick
It must have been April and we really needed to go to nature. So we went to a small reserve by a body of water. Park had a funny camera- I think it recorded to VHS. There were all of these really interesting pieces of wood. Park picked one up and said to himself, "This is such a nice smooth stick." I think you put that one on a chain.

wrestling
I think we had graduated or were just about to graduate and we climbed into the wrestling gym that Pete had made. I started stamping the mat really fast and you called me "The Shake." We called Siobhan Joan of Arc, and Park was "The CATCH." Then we went to our apartment and sat in the bathtub.

duck neck
This was the time we decided to go camping in a trailer park! We ate pot brownies and sat in a cabbage patch.

the beach
The last time we were all together was in this place. We boiled lobsters and steamed mussels and we all wore black bathing suits.
