my aunt may and my uncle john john came over for dinner with their 7 month old baby, evan. i asked what the best thing about being a parent was, and she said "it's the way they love you back" and john john says, "and that love makes all the work worthwhile" and it sounded so terribly cliche, but i loved every dripping word of it, because it was so sincere and every time i see them it almost makes me heart ache bcz they are the most adventuresome couple ever and here they are, chasing after a baby in diapers who drools everywhere and they're saying they love him and they love life. i thought they loved mountain biking and rock climbing and backpacking, but they love him. none of it seems worth it to me, but what the hell do i kno. anywayz, when people started getting up and clearing the table, it was just me and john john. him and me have alwayz had a special bond, becuase I was about four when he was dating my aunt, and i thought he was the best thing in the world. and we're sitting there, i just finished talkin about SATII's and what college i want to go to, he' sitting there with evan in his lap, and he says out of nowhere..."I first met you when I was 18." struck me. made me so sad and so happy to think about all that time. itz just strange how two people can go through the same thing, but at such different times in their life. and isn't it crazy how we drift in and out of each other's worlds.

well thatz basically what i was talking abt in my first draft, except I had a whole nother two pages of realli pissed off shit about my dad, but itz funny how i already forget how exactly i felt half an hour ago.

ah, i'm sure it'll happen again.
