how many times we can break the law today?

trespassing. loitering. public indecency. drinking and driving.

this is my last half hour of work at the store. i don't think i'll tear up about this, though it has been pretty unpredictable what'll make me upset. i leave next sunday. six days. so many goodbyes. a week of goodbyes.

i've been going to the movies with more frequency than perhaps ever in my life, and unfortunately i haven't wanted to see even one of the movies. not totally really. i have drank wine every day for more days than i can count. maybe twenty. maybe thirty. i had a going away party. i've pandered off all giveaway belongings to friends, which is a really great feeling. moving out furniture and handing over houseplants. the mug you always drank out of. the cd you always envied. another poster off the wall. you'll need something to remember me by. took polaroids and photos of hamtramck disneyland, drove downtown and around belle isle yesterday in the gorgeous weather. ate downtown for perhaps what will be the very last time. this week i have to pack, actually. actually pack...because i haven't. just barely. i have to decide what clothes i will live with and live without. there are tattoo plans, there's a wedding, there are so many goodbyes, and there's driving away. there's me saying, "i'll never do this again" and then the "maybe i'll never see you again."
