Someone's Getting Sneaky

Barbershop called for the 18th time in three days. Normally I would just ignore his call but the little bastard is getting sneaky. He’s starting to call from numbers I don’t know. Payphones, friend’s phones and private numbers. Now here is my question for him: If you have to call me from a number other than your own to get me to answer, what does that tell you?! He wants to come over again. I say no. Now I’m feeling stressed out and head to the bar.

Hang with Baby Girl, Joy and Sassy. Freak Mama eventually joins us as well. Talk to Crazy James and Tiny for a minute. No exciting news with them. Unfortunately Shy Guy was not with them. So with the holidays fast approaching Baby Girl, Sassy, Freak Mama and I decide to celebrate. (Joy leaves because she thinks we’re being mean to her.) We spend the night drinking and dancing and doing lots of observe and ridicule. We are making up songs and singing at the top of our lungs. We are generally entertaining the entire population of the bar. Smoke comes through and sits down next to me. We talk for quite awhile. He’s really a decent guy the more I’ve gotten to know him over the last year. He doesn’t understand why I won’t give him a chance. Sometimes I don’t either.
