I always get high before a play. I'm an actor you see. This takes place a week ago at the U.I.L one act competition. I woke up at 7 and was at school by eight. We didn't need to be there till nine, but I had things to do. A coupl'o friends of mine met me in the parking lot to "eat the fruit cup". It was some very good quality herb, colorful and not too stemmy or seedy. Friend one (Lets call her Daneesha) lights her garden gnome pipe, and we pass it around for thirty minutes. We go in to load our props on the bus, when I feel it. The numbness. The edge of rational thinking. What I affectionately call "The Floatyness". Friend 2 (Lets call her Chiffon) Pig out on starbucks food until everyone else is done. We get to the contest and I'm coming down. We rehearse and settle in for the wait. By 7:30, I'm Higher than a Kite.......Again! It was very peculiar, and I was in no state to be acting. I needed my waterbed and my margaret cho tapes. I didn't need an itchy ass costume and a shitload of lines. It was intense. Full body Floatyness. I steeled my nerves for the performance. "It's all fine and good for you Daneesha you're a stagehand. I don't quite know how I managed to make it through the show and still win an award stoned off my ass, but I did it. And i ate so many burritos when I got home. Clear headed, but still extremely hungry.
