i'm really very happy that i can continue the tradition of randomly having many people over my house just to see each other all in the same place. today and tonight were awesome. it's nights like these i know why i make the effort i spoke of in my last (or so) entry.
tonight, two of the people i had in mind when i wrote the other entry came over. at points in the night, it was like i was totally off and our friendships were there and solid, and it felt really good. it was just as amazing if not more amazing to see those other kids i mentioned who i don't NEED to make sure to let know that i want to still be their friend. they know because they want to be my friend also and whenever we want to see each other and can work it out, we do. we don't make excuses. we make the effort.
so good to see these kids, rock the DDRMax for ps2, the penis ball, the random terrible sherades (nj meathook/roommate), dave's rockin' vid, my gymkana homeshow (3 TIMES!), lobstahs and steaks, me somehow beating Do and Ramirez in assassins, ...just being around all the high school friends i'm trying so hard to not lose because they're just awesome, period. thanks so much for coming over guys. thanks for restoring my faith in doing the "right" thing and trying to mend that which has been broken or bent out of shape. i feel really good about making the decision i made in inviting those kids, whoever they are, and that's just another awesome thing about tonight.
maybe it was a fluke, and somehow the night just worked out awesome and it forced them to actually want to be at MY house and it had nothing to do with me. maybe they grinned and beared it so they could see the others or have the lobster. i really don't care right now because something about tonight was awesome and brought it all together somehow. just felt right.
