It's not my turn yet.

Y'all, Angel of the Morning is one of my favorite songs. Someone covered it.

Y'all: "~Closer than my peeps you are to me, yeah, bay-bee...~"

No.

Happy Mardi Gras!

Oh, I must find that song.

I no ready for MATH homework! I need more coffee! More caffeine, and then maybe.

Anybody have subject ideas? Anyone? Herro?

T - Allison loves that song. As do I. "Shorty you're my angel." Dude, that's poetry.

Where are we meeting in Barcelona?

Y'all I'm so stressed I feel like going into the bathroom and crying. And when I get like this, I don't want to do ANYthing.

-- Anonymous, February 27, 2001

I just found it. "Shaggy" sings it. How can you not love it, T? It's all catchy and stuff.

Han, what's up, baby?

Sara is like planny plannerton. We do not have to have all our hostels reserved. It's not high season. It's fine. I don't have time to call. And now we're switching everything around, and I still don't know where or when I'm meeting you, T. Plus, I have about 1 million things to do at work. In the past 24 hours I've been given about FOUR new projects that I now have to have done by Friday at noon. There's no way.

I never get stressed. Ever. So when I do, it's bad. Very, very bad. Oh, plus, I'm broke. And I'm going to Europe. Nice timing.

Sorry. Had to vent.

I mean, I like that song, but you know.

Joh. We arrive in Barcelona at 7 p.m. on March 6th. What time are y'all getting there? That will dictate when we meet...

What are you stressed about? It's Mardi Gras, bay-bee!

-- Anonymous, February 27, 2001

You're right, you don't need to have everything reserved. Hadley is planny plannerton, too, and evn she realizes that. We have rooms reserved in Lisbon. That's it. We're going to take care of Barcelona from Lisbon, and Mardid in Barcelona.

We are meeting in Barcelona. I don't know when or where because I don't know when y'all are arriving. The 6th, or the 7th? We will get it worked out today, though.

Yesterday, I had my camera cleaned and I bought an ass-load of film. I bought my journal, and I have a money belt and all that. Today, I start doing laundry. I need to get a hostel sheet (just in case) from Caroline.

I'm confused about pack locks.

I'm thrilled because last night, I realized that my favorite painting, ever, is in the Prado. Kristie ripped out the Prado chapter of Mona Winks for me, and I saw The Garden of Delights, and I gasped and frightened Chris.

We arrive on the 7th, in the a.m., but I'm not sure when exactly as now we might take the train from grenada, not seville. So we should plan to meet in the early afternoon, like 1 or 2.

It's like, if she wants to be planning girl, then she can fucking call, because I'm too busy, and I dont' need her nagging me every thirty seconds.

-- Anonymous, February 27, 2001

Exactly. Y'all simply don't need to worry about it right now.

I'll call you tonight. We can pick a landmark (the Columbus statue on Las Rambla, or something equally conspicuous) and meet there at 3 (to be safe) on the seventh. That's siesta, so it will be a little less crowded.

Oh, no. I'm totally broke. Spending my savings broke. Will never be able to buy a house broke. You know.

So what if you can't buy a house? In a few years, we'll all be living in a big ol' trailer next to leigha, and those things aren't that expensive. Are they?

[Note: Please kill me if I actually do ever find myself in a trailer park next to leigha, even if it's only to ask directions back to the highway.]

-- Anonymous, February 27, 2001

Allison, you can't be that broke. Not, no house buying broke.

I decided what I'm giving up for Lent: buying clothes. All clothes. Except for the ones in Spain, but I think God will make an exception for foreign travel.

-- Anonymous, February 27, 2001

True, Allison. You could always buy a trailer. Leigha's buying one with a big-ass bathtub, AND, they do background checks.

All right, I've been wrestling with the ethics of this for a few minutes, and here's my thought: I'll e-mail Meg and talk her into coming back (assuming I have that power), if y'all don't immediately crucify her on the plagerism thread, even though she deserves it.

Naturally, if other people get in on the fray, or if she brings it up, all bets are off.

I will do my part first thing in the morning, if that's okay.

I only knew that if I kicked him there, he's leave me alone), and my mother told me that if I did that again, I risked paralyzing him.
