if the full moon was the night of the 10th, could all the crazy people i ran into on the 11th just be left over from that? or is it really only the night of the full moon that they come out.
i left a crazy out. that was the lotto stalker. i was standing at a lottery kiosk, checking all the tickets i had wadded in my purse, to see if i could at least score some more tickets with them. some guy stood close to me… very close. inside my dance space close, and watched over my shoulder. every time i put a ticket under the scanner, he’d have a comment.
“you have to hold it still a second… for it to read… yeah. that’s it.”
“doesn’t read mega million tickets. nope.”
“there’s a trashcan right behind you.”
“oh… it’s a winner.”
“oh, that happens to me all the time.”
some people say that he was just trying to get me to hurry up, so he could check his tickets. but as soon as i was done, he walked away. i think he was ready to POUNCE should i have have won. which i did. two dollars.
he was creepy. and obviously had been up all night, dancing under the light of the full moon.

1. rub up against my legs, or weave in and out around my ankles.
2. lick anyone or anything other than herself.
3. that kneading bread thing kitties do when you are petting them.
things she does do, instead…
1. run in front of me as i leave one room for another and throw herself down in front of me, rolling on her back, putting her paws up in the air to “git me.”
2. try to sleep draped across my neck. like a scarf. or a neck brace.
3. drink out of faucets only. unless it’s hot, in which case she’ll use a glass of water on the bathroom counter i leave for just such a purpose.
4. heard me into the bathroom when i get home from work. in order to turn on a faucet.
5. “talk” to me. have kitty cat conversations with me.
6. touch her nose to my nose, when she’s sitting on the bathroom counter, and i’m getting ready in the morning.
7. sleep in the bathtub. summers only.
