Tonight I talked to my roommate
Lisa for the first time since the 
start of the summer. She told me
she got a nose piercing and a 
cat. The cat is illegal. I hope
the landlord doesn't find out.

My younger brother used three
methods to awake me this mor-
ning. The first was to jump on
me. The second was to steal 
my cigarettes from the secret 
hiding place I stupidly told him 
about when he was desperate
once last week. The third was 
to douse me with a fire extin-
guisher. I am very, very glad
I'm going back home to Vic
in two days.

Back in Vic .. I've been on an 
alarming drug and alcohol binge,
supplemented by reading Sylvia
Plath. I don't think this is good!
Today's my 19th birthday.
