   i didn't have anything to do so i went down to the can with stradlater while he was shaving. i said that Ackley was a slob and had bad habits like not brushing his teeth? well so was stradlater, but in a different way. he was more of a secret slob. he always looked good. but for intense you should have seen the razor he was using. it was all rusty and full of hairs and crap. he always looked good though when he fixed himself up. but the reason he fixed himself up like he did because he was madly in love with himself. he thought he was the most handsomest guy in the western hemisphere. and he was pretty good looking-I'll admit. "who's ya date?" i asked him. "that Phyllis babe?"
   "no it was supposed to be, but the arrangements changed. she knows you?"
   "who does"
   "my date."
   "yeah" i was pretty interested "who is she?"
   "jean Gallagher"
   i nearly dropped dead"Jane Gallagher." damn right i knew her. she used to live practically next door to me. i was really excited about her. i really was. her mother and father was divorced and her mother was married again to some booze hound. Jane said he was a play writer but all i ever seen him do was booze and run around the house naked. even with Jane around. after stardlater left, i just sat there in my chair for about half an hour doing nothing, just thinking about Jane, and stradlater having a date with her and all. it made me so nervous i nearly went crazy. i already told you what a sexy bastard stradlater was.
