"Well, on the manhood thing, I'll put mine up against his anytime."

Tina has left James. She felt horrible about it. But they were just getting irked with each other too much and their relationship wasn't strong enough to deal with it all.
She also left him so she would have more of a chance with a certain homosexual. That much I knew would happen. That much I predicted. For I am wise. And that certain homosexual? Who could it be? Why is could be anyone in the world! Anyone gay. So who is it? Charolette. I should have guessed. The clues were there. And Charolette seems game. Evidently, Charolette was big into Tina in ninth grade.
Obviously, I hung out with Tina today. I got the famed tape (more on that lower). We saw Dogma. I noticed a lot I didn't the first time. Like how the converted nun is in the background, drinking and stealing. And I appreciated some of the camera work more. And the acting. Good facial emotion.
So, now to the tape. I adore it. Kate actually sounded like a real singer is a few places. Especially with Bjork! And it was very, very sweet and precious of her. But now I want more of her singing. I did not make her the Nirvana tape. Not yet at least. I may tonight of tomorrow. Unless I go hang out with Venessa and Rob. They want to see me. I don't get it either. Especially Rob, evidently. But, it seems like something to do. And Liz will not be there. I made very sure of that. I didn't want Kate getting upset.
