25 August 2001 ~ Bandaids in my bookbag...

I think I'm going through blackberry withdrawal.

Aaron is back at college, Norman's busy getting ready to TEACH at college, Chris is probably getting ready for classes to start, and Helena is STILL not in school yet.

No dorms for Helena. No parties. No classes. No new faces. No textbooks or essays or professors to have crushes on.

Helena wants to go to college.

She also wants some blackberries.

Maybe someday, Helena will go to a school just filled to the damned brim with blackberries. Maybe she'll have to gather a bookbag full of bandaids before classes, because when she steps out of her dorm hall, she's pricked all over her body by blackberry thorns. It's GOT to be better than boredom and retail. Even productive boredom and nice retail.

Oh well.
