i see where we are now. it's fine by me.
we're only friends of convenience. i borrow shit from you guys and in return, i drive you places. it's totally cool. someone's got to be the one to take you and i dont mind. and someone's got to be the one that lends me the materials needed to complete my education, and it may as well be you guys. everyone wins so long as i dont expect more than i know i'll get.

Ben Folds in 7 and a half hours and Ashley is freakin out thinking that something is gonna happen.
"i feel like karma's gonna come and bitch slam me."
"Ashley, it won't."
"i meant 'bitch slap.'"
"i like bitch slam better."

I found lots of fun and useful things in my trunk today. i've never looked in there in daylight, once i thought i might put my trombone in there, but realized there was stuff in the way, but today i fully viewed the spare tire with cardboard laid over it, the bottles of oil and anti-freeze and coolant.
YES!

This morning, i got up real early, went to the Amtrak station and picked up Ben Koenig where he had parked his mother's yellow VW. lol.
I gave him a quick tour of the fair city, then took him to Ziggie's, then we drove around a bit more and then i took him back to the train station and waited with him until his train to Chicago came.
I've never hung out with that guy before in my life. I met him last April, because we sat next to each other at NCIC band. He lives in Geneseo but goes to college in Iowa. He's a pharmacy major and a music minor. I'm really glad he wanted to hang out. he's an awesome kid, a perfect gentleman, wicked smart, unassuming and polite and easygoing and a better trombone player than me. Good kid. I remember trying to impress him when i met him by pronouncing his last name correctly, which astounded him. I had a substitute teacher all during my schooling with the same last name who gave us a phonetic and historic lesson on his name every time he taught, as well as doing magic tricks and optical illusions and giving out candy.
Anyway, Ben was one of those people who you hang out with for a day and have like, an instant mini-crush on. He's just quality.

the older i get, the more i realize Sarah and i are alike. the older i get, the more i realize i can tell her anything. Seriously. i don't have qualms about it. like, some stuff i cant tell Hayley because she wouldn't get it or would be mean to me about it, but Sarah is old enough and enough like me to get it completely. This is weird because i didnt much like Sarah for a long time. It wasnt until the last few years i guess. I just didnt understand her and didnt have the experiences and thoughts i do now. We make sense now.

I have a tentative ride to the airport tuesday morning. i feel like i only ever use Dave and Jake to flee the state (i've been to Indiana and Iowa with them already) but i really enjoyed the part of Christmas break when i wasnt lying in bed and hating life, i was driving around with Dave and Jake and Tokarz or sitting at Ziggie's with them. I'm excited to drive around with them again.

why don't i have mewithoutYou's first cd? and where the heck is Emily?
