yesterday ephedra and i went to a funk ballet that was neither funk nor ballet, but i saw a cute dancer there that i'd seen before and ephedra decided i would talk to her. ephedra accosted the poor girl and said, "this is my friend eso. she's shy." and then she turned around and abandoned me to the fates so she could flirt with a pink-haired boy. i told the girl that i'd seen her in other dances and she seemed suprised (as if she looked anything like the other dancers with her shorn head, elfin frame, and big, pretty tatoo). what i didn't tell her was that alsike and i used to go to the performances and point out the pretty girls, noting which pieces they'd performed in until we'd narrowed down the names and discovered their identities.

the girl told me to come to her next performance. i think i will.
