Goodnight Kiss ~ Dream Theater |
] |
Ok. So. I have a list of things I want to talk about here...be prepared for a SUUPER lengthy entry...(sorry!!)
Item 1: The Girls "Nite" = so super fun.
Mary was the first one over. She came about 7:30 ish. It was great, because she and I hadn't had time to just talk recently, and so she could tell me about everything she's been stressed about, and it was wonderful. Just to sit and listen to her, and try and give her advice. We haven't done that since her birthday last summer. I was so happy. And we listened to Silverchair and to Destiny's Child (...yeah? And what, bitches?). Then Sarah calls and says, "So Katy and I will be there at 9 or so." She and I had a funny conversation about Sarah and how I thought it was best for her not to wear pants because that way she would get hit on more when we went out. And we both knew I was right. So anyway, it gave me and Mary more time to hang out and be girly and catch up and stuff, so that was cool.
Sarah and Katy called when they were outside, and Mary and I went down to meet them so we could go pick up movies and pizza and donuts. Why donuts? When I asked Sarah and Katy, they looked at me as if I had three eyes and were like, "Because they're donuts." Obviously, Becka...I mean, I can be so dense sometimes...silly me :)
I call to order the pizza so it's ready for when we're done getting the donuts and the movies. When the guy asks for the name it will be under, I say "Mary St. Jean" because I was calling on Mary's phone and it didn't really matter what name, so the guy repeats the name, as any normal person would to affirm it, but he just says, "James." And I was like, eh...okay, so I end the conversation and hang up. So now...everyone, call Mary "James" because that's her new name. "Jimmy St. Jean" as Sarah called her. Good times. And driving around was so so fun. Oh man. I freaked Katy out so many times. And we blasted good music. And Sarah does crazy shit when she's driving. It's all very safe, obviously, because it's Sarah and she's responsible like that...but it was so super fun all the same. Every minute was fun, so it's useless to try and do a "play-by play" commentary on the car ride. Such good times, guys. Yeah, so...we got the movies and the donuts and as we're waiting to pick up the pizza, and Mary cell phone rings and I pick it up and it's Mike Mc...something. The senior who does all the plays. He's a cool guy. He and I talk from a few minutes, but I hand the phone over to Mary but then the rest of us are all being obnoxious and all "Come back to beeed...pass the pot....pass the boooooze!" Haha, we were so bad and loud and in a small pizza hut. Goodness, we were so bad. Mike ends up talking to all of us in turn because...it just happened that way. We finally get the pizza, and we get back in the car, and Sarah's like "I need milk." So as I'm trying to tell her how to get to Cumberland Farms, Mary decides Sarah should talk to Mike. Then Mary and I made...noises...heh heh heh...in the background. It made Katy nervous...that was funny. We eventually made our way to Cumberland Farms, though, and Sarah and I hop out of the car to get milk, leaving Mary and Katy in the car to keep talking to Mike and to eat a donut. We FINALLY get back to mom's apartment, chow down the pizza, and all that good stuff, then go into the kitchen to talk. Yeah...we didn't eat the pizza in the kitchen...oh no...we went into the kitchen AFTER we were all done eating...
Once there, Katy reminds me that she never got the story...not even a decent portion of the story. (Story of what, you may ask. If you do ask, I laugh in yo' face, foo'.) So I recount the ENTIRE story. The ENTIRE story. And actually, Sarah made a comment before I began that kind of offended me. And I'm sorry, babe, but that really was uncalled for. You know me better than that. I was disappointed you felt you needed to say...*is not happy*. But moving on...
So I tell the whole story, and then Katy is happy. And thinking about it, I don't think Sarah or Mary ever got to hear the story in its entirety (sp?) either, so it was good all around. After I'm done though, Katy asked me to tell the story about the "best compliment I ever recieved" and what it was and stuff, and I tell the story and then Mary said something that is now in my head forever, or at least a month, and grr on you, Mary! I'm going to be so mad at you if you're right!!!...Or am I? Eh, well...okay, so anyway...by this time, it's about midnight, and no one else has called or shown up, and I'm like "eh whatev'." But then Katie calls to say she's impossibly lost. I direct her to the apartment (though she made it difficult with her habit of thinking left was right and right was left...) and when she finally got here, she seemed so relieved. Man...we all needed that night, I'm so glad it could happen at all. We all settle down and change into our pajamas and sit around and talk. Oh man, it felt so good to talk about openly some stuff I have wanted to just talk about. Oh my God, it was so good. It was so nice to be able to identify with someone about it. Because ever since that time, I've felt like such a whore, but it wasn't my fault because...well...it wasn't my fault. And knowing that someone can be like, "yeah some asshole did that to me, too." We can talk about how dumb we were and how we know better now, so that shit like that doesn't happen again. Ah, I know I'm going off on a tangent, but it seems like that stuff happened so long ago, but at the same time, it still hurts like it was yesterday...sooo dumb, I know...but that's unfortunately the way somethings work. In any case, it was great to talk with all of them and it's going to have to happen again...and in the near, near future. No joke, guys. I was talking to Annie eariler, and she needs a night like that and SOON. Sometimes, you just have to hang out with your friends who are of the same species (and by species, I mean gender...same difference...). And where else can you absolutely trust that the things and the names and all of it are going to stay in the room? No where else I've found...
Around 1:30 am, we decide to start watching Mona Lisa Smile. About 20 minutes into it, I notice that Katie's asleep on the floor, Mary and Sarah are dozing on the couch, and Katy is falling asleep on me while she and I were snuggled in that club chair. I decide to get up and clean up a little in the kitchen, and thankfully Katy comes to help me. I appreciated that. It made it easier to do. :) We finish straightening up, and then Katy goes to sit back down, and I decide to try and get people to bed, so we don't all fall asleep the way we were settled. This time, Sarah gets up to help me figure out who will sleep where and what sheets I need to get and set up and what not. I wake up Mary (not an easy task...she's a heavy sleeper!!) and I move her so I can put sheets down on the couch, and I tell her to lay back down and she's goes back to sleep. Then I try to wake up Katie. Now, Katie is a heavier sleeper than Mary, apparently, because it takes even LONGER to wake her up (I felt so bad waking both of them up...but I didn't want them uncomfortable! Besides, sleeping on the floor just isn't all that comfortable...). I finally get her awake enough to help guide her to the small bed in my room and she falls back asleep pretty much right away. Lucky girl. I get Katy settled in the club chair, and Sarah and I decide to share the big bed in my room. We all go to sleep and it's happy happy...I was so exhausted...It had been a long week and long night...
Item 2: Saturday morning; 9 am til 12:00 or so am (a.k.a. The Morning After)
I wake up a few hours later, and I see it's just about 9 am. Laura said she'd be by around then so she could say good bye to me and mom (she flew back to school early today...:( ). By the time she comes by, we're all pretty much awake, and so I say good bye to her and return to land of sleepy girls. We finish watching the movie and eat a yummy breakfast. By then it's just after 11, and Katie leaves to get home in time, and I take a quick quick shower. I had just gotten out of the shower, when mom knocks on the door saying that Mary has to leave, so I run out of the bathroom and kiss her and say bye and then get dressed...I was so super cold during that transition period. I hate being cold. Then Marshall got here, and I let him in to wait while Katy and Sarah get all their stuff together. Then the four of us leave to go drop Katy off at home. It was so nice out so Sarah opened the sun roof and cranked up the music. I was lovin it.
Item 3: The Trinity FINALLY hangs out, after numerous failed attempts.
So Katy's home safe and I got shot-gun and we went driving around Roger Williams Park because I had just a little more than an hour with them, unfortunately. Then Marshall spots a playground. So Sarah parks the car, and we go to the playground. Yep, the playground we go to is meant for kids from ages 2 to 5...and yes, two 16 year olds and a 17 year old played in the playground. It was so much fun!!! We made such asses of ourselves, and I'm pretty sure every adult thought we were high or on crack...or both. It was hysterical. We didn't care, though...It was just so much fun. But then I had to go. :( After some booing and hissing on their part, they let me go, and drop me off at the apartment and went on their merry way.
Item 4: Remeeting and old friend...!
As planned, I meet Alex on Thayer Street at 2, but, as always, I'm a little late, so she's already there. Sorry, babe :) She hadn't been waiting for long, fortunately, and we're both hungry so we head to Johnny Rocket's, but the place was completely packed, so we went to Spike's. It was a good choice. They have awesomely yummy food. We chatted for a few minutes there, and I got to hear all about her planning for prom (that's in like, 3 weeks!!! Jesus!!). She and her friends are going to rent an RV. How cool is that!??!? I also got to hear her summary of all the Nicks (THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR OF THEM!!! Good grief!)...but anyway, we laughed about that, and then we went to some record stores, and Urban Outfitters where I saw Dan L.(ooh a love of my life!), and we went to Zaza's Petals, Foreign Affair, CJ's closet, Pie in the Sky...all over Thayer...it was super fun! Oh! and we went to Details, where I got new knee socks. They are so awesome!! And Alex got hott tights and these awesome fake pearls...they look awesome on her. And by 'awesome' I mean 'cute beyond belief'. I also got another Cake cd...I'm so addicted to music!!! But after all this walking and hanging out and shopping, Alex had to skedattle, so we said good bye for the time being. Alex is too cool, guys. Too cool.
Item 5: Hanging out with The Oracle
In case your name isn't Lizzy, Ben, Aaron, or Laura...The Oracle would be my mother. She's The Oracle because I swear to God that she knows everything. Sometimes it's just plain scarey. Anyway, she comes to pick me up from being on Thayer, and as I get in the car, she asks me if there was anything that I wanted to get while we were there, so I say yes. Mainly because I wanted to show her the store Foreign Affairs. We end up going to Urban Outfitters and I get the Poison shirt (eee!...ps the band Poison, not the chemical) and two other shirts and suuuper cute school shoes. Then we got coffee and chai (I got the chai) at Starbucks because it was getting cold and dark outside, and we wanted to warm up. And while mom's trying to pay for the drinks, the guy working there (the cashier we were ordering from hits on me! It was so bad...I was like...dude...grooooossssssssss. But I got a good chuckle out of that. Sitting there, drinking warm yummy caffinated stuff was good because it gave us a chance to talk. I feel so badly for my mother. She's having such a bitch of a time at work, and I just feel terrible. Ugh. My poor mother!!
After the Starbucks stop, she decides that we need to go bra shopping. I loathe bra shopping. But she was insistant, so...we went bra shopping. Fast forward through drive-by dress shopping (junior prom it's going to be a red dress. no question about it. red red red...end of story) and painful bra shopping (the only good thing was I ended up getting a wicked sexy one...rowr.), and you've got me back at the apartment, here, typing this thing out.
Well...sorry this was so long, I guess my last night and today were full full full. But it was awesome fun. Oh man...how is it already 1:15 am??? Maybe I should go to bed...ya think?
Ok, well...yeah, so...yup. And this song by Dream Theater that I'm listening to is growing on me. Seriously, I am such a romantic...A "sap" as some would say...Still others may call it "pathetic". Anyway you name it, I won't change. So there. :) Hope I didnt type all this stuff out for no reason, and I hope you enjoyed my retelling you my day...Sometimes I just HAVE to be superficial...or else I could never be introspective and thoughtful...:) Good thing I don't have temple tomorrow. (That's also kind of sad...)
Good night loves.
