why moving to brooklyn was the best idea ever reason #1

ghosts are afraid of water.

a step by step course of events that explains how i know:

- A meets B.
- A & B are happy.
- A makes a home with B in a little building called 66 pearl.
- A & B are happy.
- A & B become not so happy.
- A & B find themselves with a friendly neighbor, G.
- A eventually makes a home on her own, without B.
- A is looking for music to match her mood, and borrows an album from AB.
- A's computer likes the cd so much, it refuses to let it out.
- A takes the stubborn computer to the Apple store.
- A meets a nice genius who says he needs to take the computer for 1 week.
- A has no idea how she will work, and while discussing movie tickets with him, tells G about her computer predicament.
- G offers up an extra laptop.
- A is happy.
- A realizes she has to go back to that little building 66 pearl in order to retrieve the extra laptop.
- A feels a little bit like she has to throw up.
- A tells the panicky voice in the back of her head to shut up and get over it.
- A goes with G to 66 pearl.
- A starts to feel a lot more like she has to throw up.
- A retrieves computer. while leaving, ghosts of B emerge from the walls of 66 pearl.
- A tells the ghosts to go away.
- ghosts ignore A.
- A is chased by ghosts out of the building, past the landmark deli, past goldman sachs, past duane reade, past starbucks, and down into the JMZ station.
- A tells the ghosts to leave her the fuck alone.
- ghosts continue to ignore A. ghosts dance around the train, hang from the poles, crowd her space, step on her toes, block the windows.
- A stares down the ghosts from broad, to fulton, to chambers, to canal, to bowery, to essex.
- A senses the ghosts weakening.
- the JMZ emerges from essex onto the williamsburg bridge. and poof! there go the ghosts. gone!
- A looks around. she checks under her seat. she looks in her bag. she taps the glass. no ghosts.
- A exits the marcy stop. still no ghosts.
- A approaches 285 division. no ghosts!

end results? A no longer feels like she has to throw up. i mean, i no longer feel like i have to throw up. i mean ... anyways. that was a fun game.

A and B talk. C proclaims code red situation, butting in as usual in a measure of emergency protection. A tells C it's an A B conversation and she can C her way out of it. OK, last part totally untrue, but I really wanted to use that line! Ok, that was fun...
