                There’s no connection between tear ducts and eye sockets, as far as I know. And for there being suddenly a connection, it has to be some high-pressure vomiting.

      What I wanna know is where the vomit came from. Billie hasn’t eaten the solid portion of her lunch yet, and she only just woke up so she hasn’t had breakfast either. Yesterday’s dinner should be past the stomach by now.

      So I guess the inside of her beverage cup is a wormhole to a colossal reservoir of… green milkshake or something.

              Nah, I think Alice would argue that Billie didn’t have any pride left to swallow. Although the point is moot, now that all of it has been expelled.

        Everyone has a large amount of mucus and bile inside themselves, otherwise their stomachs would dissolve themselves. Even if one does not eat for 12 hours, a person can still produce a fair sized puke pile.

      Midas actually requested the gift of turning everything he touched into gold. I doubt that Walky requested the gift of turning everything he touches into vomit, so I’m not sure how it’s going to go when he begs Dionysus to take back his ‘gift’.

      Although this gift does seem like one that’s fitting for Dionysus to hand out.

    I don’t think the point is that she is discovering she was not a ‘big shit in HS’. She kinda was, until she drank herself into treating her friends crappy, wrecked a car drunk, and got tossed off the cheer squad.

    She still didn’t get (or wouldn’t accept) that she was off the popular people list when took her HS cheer leader gear to college. Or when people like Alice dropped her like a hot potato.

    When she and Ruth hit bottom she still wouldn’t accept that her problems were based on her own behavior and her drinking. She started to wake up to the fact of how far down the ladder she was, when Alice showed up in her life.

    And then Alice told her all about it.

    Billies on saving note is that she backtracked on letting Walky and Joyce know that what she said to them was wrong.

    One last gasp and it’s all over. I think barfing is a rather graphic and appropriate way to express just how she feels at this point. She’s at the very bottom (I sincerely hope). Now she has nowhere to go but up. (I hope).
