i remember one day i was standing with angelina in the train station at st. mary's. we were both carrying two hoops and had on costumes and fake eyelashes. it was a week before the big carnival and i was fretting about the fact that i had become a cirus perfomer. "we're carnies!" i said.
this went on for a few mintues before angelina said, "no. we are not carnival people. we're fucking hoopers!"

for some reason i just really like remembering that.
