Yeah so I've been bad at updating.
Which sucks, because I'm retarded and like to write about daily happenings and not just from time to time.
This is going to test my memory.
OKAY.
SUNDAY, June 11th- It was the day after Nick had that party, but I didnt't feel like going. Sunday Dave called me when he woke up (hahahaha I had my winamp playing on random and now the doogie houser theme just came on....totally off topic but whatever) I hurried up and got dressed, my dad agreed to take me to the train, and Dave was gunna come pick me up at 30th street. I walked into the garage to ask my dad if we could leave and he slams down whatever he was working on and muttered some foul language before he got into the car because he was in the middle of doing something and I interupted him (even though he said it would be no problem for him to take me to the train). So we get in the car and there's like a quarter tank of gas left.... and he acts like that much gas isn't going to last to get to the train station.... but that's retarded because I could get to Jersey on a quarter tank of gas. He pulls up at wawa and starts pumping gas, gets back in the car saying something like, "ARE YOU GUNNA MAKE THE TRAIN BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO WASTE MY TIME". I tell him we'll make it if we hurry so he YANKS the gas pump out of the car, spilling gas everywhere, gets in the car, and makes a big deal squealing out of the parking lot like some maniac. We get to the train station and the train had just left. I called Dave and told him to get me like an hour later. GAY. My dad is fucking looney.
After Dave got me at the train station we went back to his house to pick up Justin. We went to practice after that. Practiced for a few hours, then went back to Dave's, and then me and Dave went to Bane/ Modern Life is War/ Outbreak/ This is Hell at the church. We took the train to 16th and Locust and then walked there. After Bane, I went with Pat and Tom DeYoung, and JC and 2 others to Bad Blood's record release at the Boiler Room. It was alright. Braindead opened up with a Deftones cover, and Bad Blood came out to the Thunderkiss 65 intro.... that was kind of awesome. Afterwards I didn't know how I was getting home so Pat DeYoung is awesome and volunteered to take me.
Monday, June 12th we had a show with Good Clean Fun and Kevin's band, Great Ceasar's Ghost. Last minute I got Thru It All to play, so that was cool. I'm still mad I didn't get to go to Boston with them. Oh well. I got the van and picked up Justin in the city, then drove to Lavaspace, where the show was. Pretty cool place to have shows. The whole night GCF was blowin up my spot, though. It was funny, I guess.
Tuesday, June 13th we were supposed to have band practice but it got cancelled, so I spent most of my night sitting on the computer talking to people on AIM.
Wednesday, June 14th I don't think I did anything.
Thursday, June 15th I got some awesome news from Dave about our record release show lineup in which a date still needs to be confirmed.
Friday, June 16th I got home from work and got in the shower. Then my mom drove me to the train station, but she took forever driving there since she decided to stay behind the line of slow traffic.... I got there, the train was still there, I got out of the car and the train started to go. DAMMIT. So Dave went to jumpstart to pick up our shirts 1st before he picked me up at the train. He picked me up there, we went back to his house, folded up the shirts and put them in the merch bin, we drove around and he bought me dinner, we went back to his house and hung out for a while, I went downstairs to talk to his mom for a little bit, then we went over to Nick's place for the night. We had to wake up early for our show on Saturday in Lewisberg, PA.
So Saturday, June 17th, we woke up, got dressed, went over to Bill's to pick him up, then got Justin at the train. Stopped at Dunkin Donuts to get some breakfast and we were on our way. The ride wasn't bad, but it took us about 3 hours to get there. At least the weather was nice. We got there, set up our merch, met some people. We played and people seemed to like us. We sold about 8 shirts I think there. After we played this kid Lewis came up to us, told me he loved Kid Dynamite ( I was wearing a KD shirt) and said that he thought we were really good. HE WAS SO CUTE. He's from Texas, and has his own solo project called, "The Secret Handshake". He just got signed to triple crown. Good for him. Mannnn, he was so so cute. I wish we could've stayed there to hang out but we had to drive back to New Jersey since we were playing another show.
We got back to New Jersey and played a show at some BBQ/party thing at one of Nick and Bill's friend's houses. It was kinda lame, but kinda fun. We played to a bunch of brosephs, but whatever, I enjoyed myself. Afterwards we unloded all our shit at Bill's, took Nick's van back to Nick's, then me and Dave hung out for a bit watching Dane Cook and I slept over at his house.
Sunday, June 18th was Father's day. I woke up at Dave's and he took me to the train. I didn't have a present for my dad, so I just went out and got stuff when I got home. My dad was in a shitty mood when I got home. My mom and him were fighting for whatever reason. I got home from Target and got in the shower and when I got out all I heard was banging and my mom, grandmom, and Glenn yelling/crying/etc. My dad was breaking things and causing a ruckus, and I was upstairs in a towel so I couldn't do anything about it. My mom ended up calling the cops and everything, it was stupid. I hate living here. So yeah, that was that.
Monday, June 19th I just stayed in and watched the Stanley Cup game and then watched Clarissa Explains it All.
Tuesday, June 20th we had band practice. It started kinda early so it ended around 8:30. Afterwards I picked up Dan Kopec and we went into the city to Mgillans for wing night. I've never been before. It was CROWDED. I had a good time. The wings were good, but I still like Pic's better. Kate Kil ended up bringing Dan home so I wouldn't have to drive back to New Jersey. When I left Jim Stem and Sull walked me back to my car. I gave Jim a piggy back ride and Sull took pictures, hahahahaa. They couldn't believe it.
Wednesday, June 21st I went to Pic's with like 10 people. Kirsty came, too. Afterwards, me, Kirst, Brian, and Steve Goldberg got ice cream at Friendly's. hahahahaha. WE'RE FATTIES. Then we went back to Brian's house, but Steve left 'cuz he's a party pooper haha. Brian had a bunch of roman candles and decided to light one off in his yard to the left of his house. Well it ended up going everywhere, and he threw it and it went in his pissed off neighbor's yard by accident.. Brian high-tailed it and ran down the street as his neighbor yells, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ABOUT"? Me and Kirsty follow Brian and meet up with him halfway around the block. We're walking back to Brian's and there's his fat-ass, pissed off neighbor walking down the sidewalk looking like Shrek in a green shirt. He goes, "LET'S TALK ABOUT FIREWORKS". And proceeds to ask Brian, "WHO ARE YOU..... WHO ARE YOU.... WHO'S YOUR FATHER?" hahahahaa. After all that, Dan and his brother Devon came over there. Brian gave Devon a box of fireworks and told him to take them elsewhere until later since he didn't know if the cops were coming to his house or not. When Devon was walking to his car, Brian's neighbor yelled at him, "OH, YOU BETTER HURRY........(wait a few seconds).... NERD". hahahahahahaha. We hung out at Brian's for a while, then we went over to Dan's to watch Devil's Rejects. Then we went home.
Thursday, June 22nd we played a show at Skater's Choice with Bad Blood and Cash In. THE SHOW TOOK FOREVER, but it was still fun. A bunch of people came out. I think it was the best I've seen Bad Blood. Before the show a bunch of people went across the street and got some delicious water ice/ gelato... yeah, I dunno, the show was fun. Afterwards I was gunna go over to Brian's and hang out but I was way too tired. I even had trouble getting back to 42 without falling asleep. I stopped at the wawa right off an exit on 42 near the Sunoco and bought some pretzels and a mocha alert 16 ounce cappuccino but it still wasn't working. I'm glad I made it home, I was BEAT.
Friday, June 23rd we played a show Matt Canning got us on with the Twilight Collective and Marigold at Circle Thrift in Fishtown. I really liked playing there. It was air conditioned and they had a big cooler of water for everyone. We played pretty well, but I was nervous for stupid reasons because I'm a dork., and TTC was AWESOME!! Seriously. Afterwards, Matt gave me a guitar lesson because he rules. Me, Kirsty, and Stevie Vainberg went and got pretzels at the pretzel factory. HEAVEN. Then we dropped Steve off at his house, and me and Kirsty went back to Kirsty's house and Jay Willmot came over to hang out. I pretty much fell asleep within an hour of getting back there. I was so tired.
Saturday, June 24th I didn't really do much all day. I didn't think I was gunna be able to go out at night 'cuz my little brother needed to get picked up.... He ended up coming home early, his friends dropped him off here, SO THAT RULED. I went over to Antonio's 'cuz Geeble was throwing a party there or something and shit GOT NUTS. I probably got a little too drunk. (Wow it's fucking weird saying that.... it's retarded). Apparently it feels like you're flying if you jump up and down. I told Eric that I liked him better fatter and that I appreciated him being in my band at one point, I called Jim Stem out on being a womanizer and thinking he can have every girl ever but he couldn't have me, I said some funny things which I don't feel like typing about.... Sull and Jim took care of me and they're awesome. <3 <3.
Sunday, June 25th the remaining people at Antonio's all woke up and went out to breakfast at the Phily Diner. It was like me, Sull, Antonio, Jim, Geeble, and Ray. Breakfast was delicious. I went home after that and slept the whole day like a huge bum.
Today, I worked. It's shitty outside. It's pouring. At least it was a little bit ago. I don't feel like doing much. I should clean my room but I don't feel like it. I wish I lived near people I just want to cuddle up with someone and watch a movie or something that doesn't require much of any effort. I'm really looking forward to moving out, I just need to find a house and get everything situated with.
Well, there ya go. 2 weeks of crap.
I'm not too bad at remembering things, I guess.
