Got out at 10:30, went with Ralph to the Civic Center, sat under the trees. then we went to the place at the side of the pool, shot an elastic band at each other [it was Ralph who showed me the method whereby you wrap the elastic around your index finger and aim like a gun...]. History- came in 15 minutes late (he he). Lunch- Christine, Janet and I met Dave and Sue at the Civic Center under the trees, a girl came and talked. Science- Chris drew over Judy's signature in my brown book "Fuck, Am I wasted".

At 11 Gillian came over, met her on the Path while I was going to mail the film. Came back here and sat in the livingroom. I made Devilled Eggs. Abby and Margot came, had tea, played chess with Don. Ralph came, then Danielle, then Chris. He rolled smokes. Christine phoned and asked if she could come down, Don said yes. When she did everyone hid except for Don and I, we got rid of her by saying everyone left and I had to clean up, and Don had to leave too. She left [disgusting]. Went in, spun on the spinning chairs in the livingroom. Did it to Chris, he like it. At 4 played hide and seek, played it 2 hours. Everyone left at 6.
