In the tour van lying in the back on the top bunk. I wake up
around 11:30 a.m. with an incredibly bloated bladder. We stop at a Royal Farms
gas station. Inside, I have the most relieving pissing experience I’ve had in a
while. It almost hurts.
Back to sleep.
Picking up Ben at his house near Philly, I wake up near 1:50
p.m.
A stop at Bruster’s Ice Cream. Jacob discovers a steep hill
and decides whether or not there is enough time to ride it. “Well, you know
Pogge’s going to take a while,” Ben says. Jacob invites me to come along. The
sun is bright. The wind is strong. And the asphalt is smooth. A little bit of
exhilaration does a body good on a long van ride.
Breakfast: Cliff Bar (Blueberry Crisp). Immune Defense.
I attempt this Chinese acupuncture technique to get rid of
sinus congestion.
Reading The History of Love.
Lunch: Egg Salad Sandwich with Tomato. Salt n Vinegar Chips.
Apple. Strawberry White Tea.
We arrive at Scranton University. Performing in a gymnasium.
During one of our slow songs, we invite the girls and guys to line up on
opposite sides. The girl will walk over and choose a prospective guy to dance
with. I observe one girl in particular dancing with someone who is obviously a
new acquaintance. I imagine their conversation: “…oh you’re in American History
with my friend Jenna!” They sway side to side like two innocent kids in middle
school. “What are you up to tonight?” Her blonde curls – magenta colored dress
– big smile – totally swoon by her new cutie. After the song is over I see them
exchange numbers. They may have never met if it wasn’t for the situation we
created for them.
Post-show.
In the green room, I snack on Pita and Hummus, Grapes, and a
Banana.
Throwing grapes in each other’s mouths.
Checking into the hotel.
I take a stroll up the street. A chilly wind blowing.
I take a seat in a restaurant called Farley’s.
Dinner: White Bean Chicken Chili. Ginger Ale.
Reading.
On the walk back to the hotel I run into someone dressed in
an Elmo costume in front of a club.
Twix Bar. Chips and Salsa. Pita and Hummus. Chamomile Tea.
Event planning.
On the phone with a friend.
Musicplayer
is my official new music project.
M&M’s.
Sleep around 3:30 a.m.

that makes me wonder if you felt the same way i did the few times we met.
Oh yeah?
That's good to know that somebody felt that way.
Make yourself known somehow.
