mad maddie:
I am here to tell u that there truly are banana slugs all over UCSC’s campus. u heard it here first, lady.
SnowAngel:
yay!
SnowAngel:
banana slugs are UCSC’s mascot, right?
mad maddie:
yah, and they’re actually kind of gross. they leave trails of slug-slime behind them. also, they’re way bigger than I imagined.
SnowAngel:
as big as a banana?
mad maddie:
smaller than a banana, bigger than . . .
mad maddie:
eh, who cares
mad maddie:
made me think of high school, tho, and applying to colleges, since that’s when I first learned about banana slugs.
mad maddie:
that world seems so far away. remember how important Jana Whitaker was to us? and Zoe—ha! how she hid in the back of Jana’s car to steal her teddy bear?
SnowAngel:
Boo Boo Bear! aw, good ol’ Boo Boo Bear.
mad maddie:
do u follow Jana on Twitter or anything?
SnowAngel:
me? no.
SnowAngel:
why?
mad maddie:
oh, cuz of the stomach-pumping thing. did Zoe tell you about that? I’m wondering if she’s ok, believe it or not.
SnowAngel:
yeah. hold on . . .
SnowAngel:
*mad Twitter activity*
SnowAngel:
kk, I am now officially following her. but you know, you *cld* follow her yrself
mad maddie:
except then she’d see me in her list of followers. no thx.
SnowAngel:
but you have no problem with her knowing that I’m following her?
mad maddie:
I don’t want her to think I’m lame.
SnowAngel:
but it’s fine for her to think I’m lame?
SnowAngel:
ooo! ooo! she just posted something!
SnowAngel:
wow, so deep. she said, “if yr not moving forward, yr falling behind. go back to high school, losah.”
mad maddie:
you’re moving forward. don’t worry.
SnowAngel:
of course I’m moving forward. why wldn’t I be moving forward? and why “don’t worry”?
SnowAngel:
WAIT. she’s not saying that to *me*, is she?
mad maddie:
one beat . . .
mad maddie:
two beats . . .
SnowAngel:
oh my god! she was, cuz she posted it the microsecond after I started following her!
mad maddie:
she’s JANA. did u really think she’d change?
mad maddie:
u gave her an opening, and she slipped right back into high school.
mad maddie:
or not. maybe high school came with her.
SnowAngel:
huh?
mad maddie:
sometimes I think I ran away from high school just to end up right back in high school, only now it’s called college.
mad maddie:
DON’T tweet her back!

SnowAngel:

mad maddie:

mad maddie:

SnowAngel:
also I told her to wear a condom, but really I meant that Doug shld wear a condom. on his penis. do you think she figured that out?
mad maddie:
hmm. that’s a tough one.
SnowAngel:
