goddammit.
what a week i have had.
first things first...
sunday i had to close the day shift at work even though my manager said that she would try to arrange that i didn't have to stay until five or so. vernon shows up at work. i have been working there since before we ever met. i can rest assure that i have seen him one time in our time of courtship show up where i work. i hear the announcement that someone is here to see erin at the front door. i peek around the salad bar and there he is. keep in mind that he and i haven't had much to say to each other since the breakup save the one week of weak-willed-erin. he explains that he wants to do something with me after work, but he has practice to attend first. i tell him to just call me. all of that conversation took place after me interrogating him on his strange appearance at Ruby's. he was 'in the neighborhood', he says.
moving on, quite literally, i travel to gulf shores to meet josh. they were given a few days off of their tour to relax and hang out. met really amazing people while hanging out and despite a spat between them and some madness that i somehow got wrapped up in...i enjoyed myself. vernon calls me while i am there, hears boys voices in the background, gets pissed.
traveling home with nate and ty was interesting. i let them listen to against me! and they enjoyed it. i had to put them up at my friend angel's for the night because my parents don't exactly approve of me driving basic strangers from one state to the next. they enjoyed themselves and i hope that when i am in georgia in a few weeks they will visit me. or i them. you guys are welcome back anytime too!
i hear that vernon is back with my 'friend' mary beth. i like to entertain the thought of the two of them in a room all by themselves when the power suddenly goes off. no drugs, no tv, no movies, no amps, no guitars, no pianos...nothing. that thought keeps my jealousy tame. plus i have lost nothing. i have gained freedom once more and a ticket the fuck out of this town.
last night was an interesting one as well. i worked the bar yesterday and brad shows up. sits at the bar and enjoys a few millers. we go by mem's once i get off and get higher than high. good. good pot. then we go to michael's so brad can gather his electronics and put them in a safe place. the next stretch of the story takes place in mobile, al. we go to hooters as part of the wednesday night ritual. waitress tries to give us shit about brad's expired license. long story short. waitress sucked. food was decent. her tip was below normal. bitch don't tell brad he can't drink...you just made my beer more expensive.
we go to 'hammerheads' where the motto is 'get hammered' and all well drinks are a quarter. we were killing one after the other...taking them like shots. we followed the motto. shannon, angel, brad, patrick and i boogied till the break'a break'a dawn. it was fun until a conversation with shannon in the bathroom. i felt really uncomfortable and i left immediately and told no one. an hour later, i was home and in bed. woke up this morning really confused and with a splitting headache.
i think i might have a drinking problem. and i am okay with that.
