Driver’s permit. Broke my nose playing trapeze at 8–there goes the modeling career. Need to lose 10 lbs.
    8:19 AM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE Think that covers it.
    8:20 AM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE It’s snowing in the mountains but not down here, snow falling in the sunlight in a storm of gold. Good-bye beautiful mountains.
    9:17 AM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE Hello not so beautiful Utah desert. Utah is brown and puckered like Judy Kennedy’s weird nipples.
    9:51 AM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE @caseinSD Yes she does have weird nipples. And it doesn’t make me a lesbo for noticing. Everyone notices.
    10:02 AM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE Sagebrush!!!!!! W00T!
    11:09 AM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE Now Eric is trying on my pantyhose. He’s bored. Mom thinks it’s funny, but Dad is stressed.
    12:20 PM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE Dared Eric to wear a skirt in the diner to get our takeout. Dad says no. Mom is still laughing.
    12:36 PM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE I promised him if he does it I’ll invite a certain hot goth to the pool party in April so he can see her in her tacky bikini.
    12:39 PM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE There’s no way he’ll do it.
    12:42 PM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE ZOMG hes doing it. Dad is going into the diner with him to make sure he isn’t killed by offended Mormons.
    12:44 PM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE Eric came back alive. Eric saves the day. I’m actually glad to be in the van right now.
    12:59 PM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE Dad says Eric sat at the bar and talked football with this big trucker guy. Trucker guy was fine with the skirt and pantyhose.
    1:03 PM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE He’s still wearing it. The skirt. He’s probably a total closet tranny. Sicko. Course that would be fun. We could shop together.
    1:45 PM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE @caseinSD Yes we do have to invite a certain goth to the pool party now. She probably won’t even come. I think sunlight burns her.
    2:09 PM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE Every time I start to fall asleep, the van hits a bump and my head falls off the seat.
    11:01 PM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE Trying to sleep.
    11:31 PM – 1 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE I give up trying to sleep.
    1:01 AM – 2 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE Oh fuck Eric. He’s asleep and he looks like he’s having a wet dream about a certain goth chick.
    1:07 AM – 2 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE Meanwhile I’d have a better chance of sleeping if there were only steel pins inserted under my eyelids.
    1:09 AM – 2 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE I’m so happy right now. I just want to hold this moment for as long as I can.
    6:11 AM – 2 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE I just want to be home. I hate Mom. I hate everyone in the van. Including myself.
    8:13 AM – 2 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE Okay. This is why I was happy earlier. It was 4 in the morning and Mom pulled into a rest area and then she came and got me.
    10:21 AM – 2 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE She said it was my turn to drive. I said my permit is only for driving in Cali, and she said just get behind the wheel.
    10:22 AM – 2 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE She told me if I got pulled over to wake her up and we’d switch and everything would be all right.
    10:23 AM – 2 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE So she went to sleep in the passenger seat and I drove. We were down in the desert and the sun came up behind me.
    10:25 AM – 2 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE And then there were coyotes in the road. In the red sunlight. They were all over the interstate, and I stopped so I wouldn’t hit them.
    10:26 AM – 2 Mar from Tweetie
    TYME2WASTE Their eyes were gold and the sun was in their fur and there were so many, this huge pack. Just standing there like they were
