"thats the kitchen! i mean the chicken!"
tonight i was looking at a picture of you when my phone rang and he told me the words that i was thinking about telling you and it made me realize (yes, once again) my theme for the past two days, "everything is different"
and then (for whatever reason) i remembered when this boy called me because he had watched high fidelity for the first time. and he remembered that we almost bought that movie but instead we bought little monsters for 8.99 and he remembered that he promised me a million times over on the car ride home that i would love this movie. and he remembered that i worried about the end of the movie when they were at the ocean and he remembered how his brother was drunk and it was easter and that the cops were at the end of his street, searching for the men hiding in his backyard and how he called me to make sure i wasn't captured. and then he remembered that the reason he called in the first place was to ask me if i rememebered the part where john cusack calls his ex girlfriends and i replied with a quiet, "yes" because i had never seen the movie but for whatever reason i could envision the scene in my head, and he said that the part had reminded him of me although we both knew i was never his girlfriend but how we had both secretly wanted me to be that role one day. and then the conversation grew quieter and quieter and it eventually tapered off in to an 8 month silence.
and then i remembered that it's almost time for me to call you and tell you all the silly things that i always tell you even though today you told me i shouldnt unless i plan to do something else with those bricks that i am collecting...
...i think i will build us a castle. then we will have lots of room for 70 years worth of pinky promises and tuna fish cans.
goodnight
xo.
