Oh my god, Becky, you would not believe how crazy yesterday was. I mean, seriously. It was the weirdest fucking day of my life. You remember how crazy it was when Lucas dropped acid in class and we had to stop him from going up and asking the professor if she knew she had a koala on her back? Yeah, it was weirder than that.
No, it started after classes. You know how you asked yesterday morning if we could hang out at the mall after school, and I told you that I couldn't because Casey had called in sick, and Mister Hunt had absolutely begged me to cover for her afternoon shift? Right, so I go in to work yesterday, and the store is just about dead. And I'm thinking, "Well, why did I have to come in to cover for Casey if everything's so quiet," because there are already four other people scheduled that day--Mister Hunt, Marco, Anne and Trudy--and if it stays this dead, we're going to be crawling the freaking walls. And then who do I see?
Casey! Freaking Casey! And okay, this is where it starts getting seriously freaking weird. Because I see Casey, and I'm like, "What the hell is she doing here?" And then like almost at the same time, I'm like, "Where the fuck is her shirt?" Because she's not just wandering around the store like she's a customer instead of someone who should be working instead of making me cover her shift, she's wandering around freaking topless.
No, I am not shitting you. She had nothing on above the waist. No shirt, no bra, no nothing. Totally topless. And here's the really freaking weird part. The even weirder part, I mean. Her tits were huge! I mean, you remember Casey, right, from that time you came to drop off my purse after I left it in Professor Cowert's lab? She just had these little freaking bee stings, and now she's wandering down the aisles with boobs the size of cantaloupes. I mean, we're talking porn star tits, here. Massive, jiggly...they were even perky! She had boobs to kill for.
No, that was what I thought for a second, too, but they didn't look fake. I mean, you know, if she really called in sick so that she could get a boob job and then came in to take off her shirt and show everyone how it looked, and oh my god it tells you so much about how yesterday went that this was the least crazy possibility running through my head...no, if she really did that, you'd expect to see scars or something. Or at least they'd be stiff. But they jiggled like real tits, and they were huge.
And then she looked over at me, and I'm like, "Oh my god, she is going to get so fired!" Because her eyes were all wide and kind of glassy, and she had this big, dreamy smile on her face like the whole world was one big happy. She looked so totally stoned, Bex. And I'm thinking, she must have taken something, like ecstasy or oxycontin or something, and come in to work stoned off her ass. And unless the same doctor who gave her the instant ginormous tits also prescribed it for her, Mister Hunt is shit-canning her ass so fast her head will spin.
And this is all super weird too, by the way, because Casey is totally straight edge. She's nice about it, you know, she won't get all up in your grill just because you mention you're going out to a bar after work or anything, but she doesn't even drink pop because of the caffeine. So my brain is doing flip-flops just adjusting to the idea of Casey as a drugged-out topless sex bomb, let alone one who's wandering around the store like that. So yeah, it's weird that it's happening, but it's even weirder than weirder than weird that it's Casey.
And she looked at me, like I said, and her smile got even wider, and she said, "Joy! It is so wonderful to see you, sister." I know, but I swear I'm not making any of this up! She didn't say it like, you know, "sistah," she said it like...like, remember in Sociology when Professor Billings was talking about religious movements, how a lot of religious sects call each other brother and sister? Yeah, she said it like that.
Then she headed over to me, and oh boy, her tits were bouncing up and down like Pamela Anderson in Baywatch. Only, you know, even more, because she was braless. I was seriously worried about back strain or something, but she said it would never happen because--no, sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. The point is, she just about ran over to me, and she said, "I have something wonderful to show you, Joy."
And my mouth is waaaaay out in front of my brain at this point, and I say, "I can see it already, Casey." Because the way those boobs were sticking out, you really could not look away. I mean, they were front and center, you know? Oh, hush. If you were there, you'd have looked too. 'Perv dyke' my ass.
But Casey smiled, and she said, "I was like you once, Joy. I saw, but I didn't really understand. But the Sisterhood showed me the true way. They showed me the beauty of the female form, the power of the Goddess Sappho. And now the Goddess has decreed that it is time to open the minds of all to the glory of her love! No longer will she be a secret cherished by the sacred few. It is time for all to embrace the Goddess Sappho!"
I know, I said the exact same thing! I was like, "Sappho was a poet, not a goddess." But she just gave me another one of those big dreamy smiles, and explained that she became a goddess after she died. And I actually kinda had a hard time arguing with that one, because that's totally a thing out of Greek mythology, like with Hercules. And, of course, the whole thing made no sense and it wasn't really worth arguing about, especially not with someone who was tripping out of their minds on God knew what. You know?
So I was just like, "OK, Joy, smile and nod," and I said, "Oh, that's nice, good luck with the whole 'embracing the Goddess' thing," and I kind of started to walk away to look for Mister Hunt--and then she started to fondle her tits, right there in the store!
Seriously, she's just standing there, groping herself, and she's moaning about how good "womanflesh" feels...and yes, that's actually what she called it. Womanflesh. The whole thing was like a huge trainwreck. I just could not look away.
