some things lately:
went on roadtrip vacation starring john and ella and me as the baby
tried to quit my job but instead got a raise and the go ahead to do whatever i want
shotgunned a beer in the shower for the first time
made halloween band plans (i'm kathleen hanna/rivers cuomo)
went to see choking victim in the park for the first time
found a new old bike in the trash
last night i hung out at mom's house with buddies i've loved for 13 to 15 years now. we made black and blues (half blueberry beer/half black and tan) and walked down to the bay sometime after 3. no streetlights on bay road, it was pitch black. alyssa talked about horror movies like always.by the water it was so windy that you could wrap a blanket around you standing up and just let go and the wind held it up.
we talked a lot about holy angels, where we all went to school. it feels so good to get to talk about things you dont even realize you remember. like "the wall", which was the main form of punishment for everything from incomplete homework to mouthing off. if you got "the wall" it meant that at recess time instead of playing with the other kids you had to stand against the side of the school building and just watch. and if any friends came to talk to you they would get the wall on the but far enough away so that you couldnt stand there and talk to each other.
its so weird to think of a bunch of adults sitting around and all agreeing on "the wall" as a great form of discipline.
it's really important for me to keep old friends in my life because it turns out i have a really awful memory, even when it comes to pretty recent things. i asked my mom what classes my sister kim was taking for her first college semester and she said "a bunch of womens studies stuff". i said i was surprised that she would want to do that and my mom said "well its because you told her she had to"
that must have been within the past year but i dont remember it at all. why does getting wasted all the time have to be so bad for you?
