OK, I know. I'm a ass.
I don't know how but I made Belle cry and Rosie almost bit me and continues to growl at me everytime I try to talk to them.
Really though. All I said was that Belle was the prettiest girl at the parades, with the neatest costume of anyone, and she yelled at me for being hateful and insensitive and a liar and a bore and why don't I ever go with her to school and am I embarrassed to be seen with her since I rarely go to church with her and that I only go to the university class once a week when I have to go for the quiz we have in 19th century lit. Then she went on about how I went and got a job at the Glass of Orleans shop and didnt' get her a job there also.
I told her that I hadn't thought that she'd want a job learning stainned glass and she said that that wasn't the point. And anyway, she said, we had tons of money. That's when she threw dozens of 20's up in the air and said that it might as well be confetti at the parade. I opened my mouth to say anything but Rosie growled and lunged at me. I don't think she would have really bit me, but you never know, I decided, when there might be an issue that was not explained.
Rosie turned dark purple and dark red, kindof like blood.
I don't think Belle likes Jacques' companion in the Glass shop. He can't be more than 20 and he's been real friendly, I don't that Jacques wants his partner to be too friendly with some of the workers, but Belle particularily didn't like him. She said he had shifty eyes, the kind that shifts up and down at the guys. His name is Peter. There's a real ass. As if.
I only work a couple days a week. If we hadn't moved after Mardi Gras I wouldn't be in this situation. We only moved across the alley, but it was the greenhouse next to us that started all the chain of events.
It goes like this.
Once there was a really good cook named Charles. He came to New Orleans to learn gourmet cooking, got himself a place in a neat quarter restaurant over the years became well known, was head hunted by other restaurants and eventually starred in a 5 star restaurant and went and bought the greenhouse across from us in the ally, and made it into a really neat house, and Belle made friends with him, so did I after she had, and we changed apartments to the workshop apartment next to the greenhouse, and that's what started it all.
Charles collects stained glass for his greenhouse walls! So natureally I have to do a stained glass and give it to Charles since he really likes my paintings but won't take a painting, only stained glass, hence the work at the Glass shop to learn how to do windows, hence taking a small job at the shop, hence being away from the university twice a week, hence Belle thinking that I wasn't being around her for some reason, hence I made up a story about her being pretty, hence I'm in trouble for some reason I don't understand, so
the university class doesn't suffer since both of us have read all the required books before we decided to take the class and Belle registered us with the university as full time scholarship students in literature, at least as this time, who knows when she'll change that, or even if we'll keep our scholarships, or if we'll stay in New Orleans long enough, or or or or
anyway, here's my first effort at the shop, it's going to be "Spring", with wisteria's on the top, an iris in the middle, tulips next, a robin (kindof the first bird of spring), and some croscus plants,
oh well, it's fun and maybe Charles will hang it somewhere on his walls, he still has lots and lots of open window space around the back of the house.
