we got older, but we're still young. we never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up

I skipped out on the Babylon ball this year. I feel kind of guilty because Shannon was on the retuning court this year, but I just didn't have the energy to spend a night pretending to be the debutante that I was when I was 16. And besides, I didn't have a new dress yet and Chuck didn't have a tux yet, and there would have been a lot of hassle involved. I did miss the free champagne and the turtle soup, though. Damn.

So I'm back in Baton Rouge today and now that Mardi Gras is over, I'm very ready to get back into my class routine. I have biology reading to get to, but I have Mardi Gras stories to tell, so I'll be back soon.

Oh, and that picture on the right is from the 2003 Babylon ball, when I was a returning maid. That's Natalia in the blue dress. Both of us were blonde then... she's a brunette now. As soon as I finish off my roll of film, I'll post a few pictures from this Mardi Gras.

And Barbie and Ken broke up? What the hell?
