Met up with Kel…

Met up with Kelly last week and got to tour her new home, Abilene. I was impressed, because I thought it’d have only one grocery store, but there are two!

We drove by the museum, Kelly talked about the different shows that travel through town, and then we went to Vleta’s, a chocolate shop that made candies that just tasted so much richer and fresher than anything at Godiva. The dark chocolate was especially good with their peanut butter cups, and they had white chocolate covered grapes that were awesome.

Then we went to belly dancing class, well, they did and I tried a few steps. I would forget to keep my arms out to my side and whenever i’d look up my arms are held awkwardly, like a zombie from michael jackson’s Thriller video. Kelly said I did good. “You seemd to have the rhythm.”

Ah man, I’m missing those chocolates again. Sorry, gotta make a run to the store.

(Christmas Eve, driving with my sister through our quiet hometown. The air is solemn.)

Jennifer: Jasmine, you should listen to this version of Hallelujah. It’s Justin Timberlake’s cover, but it’s really good. He sang it for the diaster relief fund.

Me: Ok. (plays the song and hears the first few lines while reflectively watching the grey skies out the window )

Jennifer: CHRISTMAS LOBSTER CHRISTMAS LOBSTER we’re eating CHRISTMAS LOBSTER toniiight.

Me: I’ll listen to this later…

Jennifer: ! I’m sorry! I forgot you were here.

Flashbacks

Me and Jason in high school on the bus for a field trip

Me: Did yo know I can make my palms sweaty just by thinking of it?

Jason: No way! Show me.

Me (holds hands out and it starts to sparkle): It’s called hyperhidrosis!

Jason: Whoa! Let me try! (holds his hand out and concenrates) I can’t!

Me: I can do it anytime.

Jason: That’s so cool. It’s like a superpower!

Me (smugly): I can gross people out by holding their hands if  i want.

—Yes, this was in high school, when other people were getting dates and worried about Prom and stuff—

Me: What? um
