Anything But...

Tim just appeared as I was leaving the house.

“I so don’t want to go to work. Is it 6pm yet?”

I laughed.

“Because that’s what time I’m going to bed.”

SMS. 08.18. Morning. I smoked pot & snorted K with the lovely Nicholas and Tim y’day. How was your day? – Christian

no – I didn’t have much at all

Tim

Half a pill and apparently I did more K.

Tim said to Nicholas, “What will we do tonight?”

“Oh, I’ll bring the other bike over and we’ll go for a ride.”

“He doesn’t know me that well, clearly,” said Tim.

I’m in the study, I can hear the clunk of Tim’s wine glass, even from here.

Smoked bongs with Nicholas. I shared my last, tiny, bud of dope with him. Well, it made sense that if we mulled it up and smoked it in a bong there would be much more for each of us.

Watched Idol and Law & Order.

I went to bed early.
