magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

no official ehp anything scheduled for today. a free day. i slept a little later than i have been sleeping (quarter of ten or so) and then went to check out rome's big weekly flea market. which was huge and crowded and insane. and i didn't buy anything but my opinion that women's clothes are much cooler than men's was only reinforced. i think that if i'm going to be able to wear the sorts of clothes that i'd like to i'm going to have to start designing them myself. that, or start wearing women's clothes, but i don't exactly have the right shaped body.

and i got email from stef's mom, worried that she hadn't heard from stef in a few days. and i hadn't wanted to say anything, but i was worrying too. i just can't help it, although i'm sure she's just busy with the beginning of school and everything.

and in fact, i got email from her later and that's pretty much the case:

I have been very busy and crazy and I feel like I dont even have time for all of my friends. It has been like when you feel only a day has gone by but then you look and its been four.

I totally miss you and I am glad you are having fun and writing to me about what you do each day it makes me feel more like I am there.

spent most of the afternoon playing a much too long game of chess with justin. we're pretty evenly matched. we have about the same level of strategy and make a fairly equal number of stupid mistakes.
