I have nothing to say about her. We 're not speaking at the moment. Actually, we're very friendly. We've had our fights. We had a big fight first weekend I was here. She had someone over. I don't know who he was, but he was strange. I came puttering out, in my old pink bathrobe, to get a glass of water, and Donna started in about how I never go anywhere, how I never ask for the car. So I said, 'Well Sunday I 'm going to church. So Saturday night I reminded her and she said, 'Well, wake me up and I'll go with youf' Well, Sunday morning came and I tried to wake her up and I couldn't do it. So I wrote her a note and got in the car and started it up, sitting in the driveway, warming it, and I hear all these obscenities being yelled at 9:00 in the morning. Well, I was very upset. Nine o' clock on a Sunday morning, people yelling obscenities. So I looked to see where it was coming from and it was coming from Donna Clarke. Yelling obscenities at me. So Igot mad. Andljust left. Got out of her car and took off And I went for a walk around the block. Got lost. Found my way back, she was out, patrolling the streets of New Bedford looking for me. She had the main downstairs out looking for me. She had Alma, from the dorms out looking for me. She called my parents. She was at the bus station looking for me. She thought I had gone home. Now, do you think I would walk all the way to the bus station lyou KNOW I wonit thumb!?I thought that was rather silly. W e fought about her tupperware last year. I didn't feel too good, I was kind of ill, and she came out and she went on about somebody dirtied her Tupperware and didn 't clean it, and she was just so upset, So Isaid, 'Why don't you take your Tupperware and wash it out, and put it in your roomZ4nd when you want it, it'll be clean!'And she said, 'Oh, I don't wanna do that! Stupid. So I said, 'Well you know what you can do with your Tupperware! ' And she said, 'What? And I said, 'Well you can just do that with it.' And then she said something nasty as she was leaving the room so I took her Tupperware and threw it off the balcony. Then she came out and screamed at me, and I got a hammer andI was going to break her toes. And I chased her all through the dorm. And then she put toothpaste on my head. That was the whole fight. Tupperware. It's still here, you know, it's still dirty, 'cause I won 't wash it. I was in my bed, sleeping. And when I'm in my bed sleeping nobody wakes me up, 'cause I just sleep like a log. Well, you see, Donna came home and it was quite late at night and she got into bed and her bed is right by the window. And Donna was laying there, reading. And Donna hears this funny little noise by the window and she says to herselfI wonder what thatfunny little noise is - it must be a squirrel or a branch. But then she heard a grunt. Somebody was trying to open the window. Now, Donna Clarke, in all her brightness, came out of her room - didn't knock on the door and try and get me up - came OUT HERE, didn 't get on the phone and call the police, went in the bathroom and got a can of deodorant and got back in bed, poised for action. She stayed there all night. Don- na was studying for an Anatomy di Physiology exam on blood. Cardiovascular. So I was here quizzing her. And, she couldn't remember the difference between lymphicides and lucacides. Because they sound like the same thing, and they're really the same thing. But there's a little distinction. So she went to bed. And I was sleeping. And I woke up. I had the feeling there was someone in the room. Well, I checked. And it was dark. So I Hgured nobody could be in here. So I rolled over to face the wall. And I heard this voice saying, 'Bodio!...Bodio!... , Now, last summer I went to church and this woman gave me this prayer book that had all these strange prayers in it. And one of the prayers said if you say this prayer every single day two weeks before you die God will come and tell you you're going to die so you can do whatever you have to do. You know, buy a plot, get a coffin, stufflike that, pick out the dress you 're going to be buried in. So I hear this voice saying, 'Bodio!... ' and I thought it was God coming to get me and take me away. Well, I thought I wanted to see who he was, so I turned the light on and there was Donna Clarke, standing there, and she said, 'What's a lymphicite?And I said, Yluuh? and she said, 'Oh, thank youf' and she just walked out and shut the door and went back to bed.
