(no subject)
so sunday, i realized i had 3 days off. in a row. monday, tuesday and wednesday. all with NO work whatsoever. i realized this at about 12:30 and began crying. luckily, i had already made plans for part of the evening. i drank for a nearly a week straight. it started the friday before. i drank all weekend with kate. i drank sunday and monday (more than ive ever drank ever) in livermore falls. and then i drank pretty much every night with ian or random parties. on this particular sunday, i woke up with a headache from too many beers and too much silliness with ian. i dont get headaches from drinking often. i took this as a sign and made the decision to not drink that night. adam got online and asked for the list of cds i had promised to make him. i gave him a brief list and then suggested that i go to the store with him after work. my toes were cold because as i said, i slept on ians couch the night prior and in a fit of drunken irritation i RIPPED my socks off. soooo i was wearing my chucks without socks and thats a very bad choice when theres snow on the ground. when i realized i had the next three days off i made plans to see the far away boy that night.
SO!
i left work around 5. i hadnt really done anything all day. obviously. i realized it was SUNDAY and all the stores were going to close around six. i needed socks and considering i wasnt going to have time to go home and shower before driving to natick i needed at least a new pair of panties. (i know you hate me for having to read this, im sorry...im a dirty girl. its just the way it goes.) i got to rue21 and bought 2 pairs of cute (FUCKING LOW RISE) panties and a pair of socks. low rise panties are dumb for girls who have bums. that rhymes. i met up with adam at his place and we made haste to the record store. once there, i got a bit carried away. it was important to me to make this process some what chronological or at least have some sort of building system. some bands have to come before others. we ended up with a rather nice selection...i think i scared adam a bit with my neurotic and some what obsessive compulsive behavior on the subject. at the mention of some bands, i was actually giggling to myself. it was hard for me to contain my excitement. we got to the counter and a few things had to go back.
with the help of the clerk, adam left with:
fugazi-13 songs
the smiths-louder than bombs
the cure-show (a live album really is the way to listen to the cure)
jawbreaker-dear you
pinback-summer in abaddon (obviously)
hot water music-the new whats next (i know its newer, but i think its a good intro album)
radiohead-amnesiac (half adams idea, half mine)
the cars-deluxe edition of some sort
we waited on lifetime and songs:ohia. i realized i forgot social distortion which is like a foundation band. they will be in phase 2 of the adam project. i have ideas for what else but itll depend on what he says he really likes.
we had dinner at the friendly toast. most of my dinner conversation was me gushing over how awesome i am for making such good musical choices. when we got back to his place, i played highlights of each of the bands and made adam sit still and listen. it seemed like it was hard for him but it was really important to me. so he did it.
laying there on his floor, listening to the bands that have changed my life made me realize how influenced i really am by them. ive spent the majority of my life wrapped in music. ive never been into one type. ive always been able to listen to a variety of music, happily. i remember getting made fun of by nearly every one when i was 16/17 for the johnny cash i had in my collection. at points, for the underground rap that i still listen to. for the crazy, fast punk beats that i had on every mix cd for years. im surrounded now by people that claim to live and love music and i always thought that i was kind of lacking by comparison. i am not now all that up to date. i have a hard time keeping up with new bands and trends in music. but i have done extensive research. i know more about classic bands (punk, rock, metal [ya, remember THAT phase]country and otherwise) than most people i know. i enjoy the nostalgia i get from the stuff i grew up on and i find myself going back to it. ANYWAY, it was so nice to lay there and listen to these bands and hand it all over to someone brand new. just give it over and say "this all means so much to me. and i know youll appreciate it" and he did. it really...meant a lot to me.
i left for natick around 9 after recieving the same text like a thousand times. really pissed me off. hah. i try not to get irritated with things like that but i seriously was screaming at my phone in my car. awesome. i stopped and bought a few, or like...6...of those little bottles of whiskey and drank those on the way down. had a great night with b and fell asleep in a way i usually dont but was entirely comfortable with it. something else that meant a lot to me.
my days off were spent getting sick and freaking out.
work tomorrow.
im good for nothing and its good, and nothing.
(i wish you were here but im glad i can make the trip from memory now. i wish i had a better way to say what i mean. could you just tell me that you dont like me and to shut up so i can move on, please? thanks.)
