Laurie keeps "pretending" that her parents and sister think that she is living in La Quinta or somewhere, "over there", but if you hear her say that...doesn't that mean that she is HERE! By virtue of her telling her own family that she lives, "over there", isn't she really saying that she isn't there???
These kinds of vague references at part and parcel of what a drug induced conversation with Laurie is like. She's so stupid she says things like, "I don't even know what I am thinking"...uh...huh? How can you not know what you are thinking? If you handed her a map of the Coachella and Morongo Valleys, a place that she has basically lived the last 47 years, she can't point out on a map where anything is. She only knows Warm Sands and the police department. Having her point out anything in the City of Palm Springs, landmark-esque, is fruitless.
The only reason she knows where to send police is because she sees gay men write down addresses or looks them up as she goes...other than that she's lost.
She's not "over there"...she's right here where she's been for the last seven years...that's why she keeps showing up at grocery stores to confront her cousins, class reunions and at various places where I've lived to steal things..."over there", my ass!!!
