There’s a lot of heat when all eight of us suitemates are together. I might have mentioned it somewhere. We’re like surround sound, or eight car alarms going off together, it’s jabberwocky by an established team. It can get frantic and frightening for the uninitiated or inhibited. Some of us are pretty boy-crazy and there’s a mix-in of twinkling girl-crazy too. We’re basey, bugzee, spaceheads and freaks, yeah, we're the whole emotional spice rack. “She’s a good person to kill time with,” is pretty high praise around here because we have so little free time. But these are good people to kill time with. And they’re portable, we travel, we invade, we’re crazy young women who’ve got it made. So if you’re coming at us, trying to enter our enclave, you better be brave or a situational upgrade. . . Songs for this: No New Friends (feat. Sia, Diplo & Labrinth) by LSD Lysergic Bliss by of Montreal Freedom Is Free by Chicano Batman . . slang… basey = a cool loser, nice but a bit odd, a weirdo with style bugzee = slightly crazy spaceheads = people who talk about weird things . . Webster: Jabberwocky = meaningless speech or communication.
