Alone again....naturally....

Mar 13, 2005 00:48

You know sometimes I wonder if I'm totally cursed or something. Oh, not with anything noticeably bad like my hair falling out, or some freaky skin disorder or permanent bad breath - but something much worse. Loser-itis. That undefinable quality or aura that makes people just not want to hang out with me, or be my friend for long ( Read more... )

I chattered nervously about the scariness of Mexico and how Xander probably wouldn't even have time to sell his kidneys before he woke up after a night of drinking tequila in a bathtub full of ice.

"... And then, you like, feel something taped to your forehead and it's a sign that says 'Gracias por la kidneys' or whatever 'kidneys' is in Mexican," I finished, opening the door to my room after setting down my box of loot. "It's horrible and I guess it happens all the time ( ... )

Andrew had been my eagle eyes and found me a spot relatively close to the pathway. Andrew reached in the backseat claiming his rightful comics and led the way. He had been discussing his interest in Mexico for about half the trip, and had just now gotten into the dangers of organ non-donation.

"... And then, you like, feel something taped to your forehead and it's a sign that says 'Gracias por la kidneys' or whatever 'kidneys' is in Mexican,"

I laughed at that one, and watched as he came to a halt in front of one of the doors. I glanced around, wondering if this was all the college life had in store for people. I mean it wasn't my deal, but I guess it was okay for some.

"It's horrible and I guess it happens all the time."

I nodded and watched him open the door and begin talking to his roommate, Jonathan, who was perched in front of the TV from best I could gather. I was taller than Andrew granted, but I still couldn't get a clear view of his friend.

"'Sup. Um, you really should have come to the comic book store with me, because, ( ... )

"... And then, you like, feel something taped to your forehead and it's a sign that says 'Gracias por la kidneys' or whatever 'kidneys' is in Mexican. It's horrible and I guess it happens all the time."

I hear Andrew coming on the other side of the door, and it sounds like we have a guest. Probably Warren again, I mean who else does Andrew get animated talking to nowadays? Andrew's going on about the organ trafficking again? Sheesh it's like this totally broken record with him. I think he's been watching too many of my taped re-runs of the X-files lately or something. I'm trying to ignore him, focus on the game, because really, don't want to be the third wheel in my own dorm room, but finally I look up.

"'Sup. Um, you really should have come to the comic book store with me, because, guess what?"

I shrug despondently, whatever it is I'm sure he'll be spilling in two seconds flat.

"Oh! Do you know Xander? I just met him, but oh my god! He bought me all of my cull box! Isn't that the coolest?"Whoa, okay, was so not expecting this. ( ... )

Jonathan was acting all tragic. Just like when Firefly got cancelled. He wouldn't smile for DAYS after that. I kept mentioning Farscape as an alternative, but... he wanted his space western ( ... )

"Yeah, good times. Yeah, I'm pretty close to the end now. I want to get the perfect ending, I read on gamefaqs.com that it was a pretty cool ending."

I nodded, having heard the same thing, but not just hearing someone else say it? Made me feel I don't know. Sort of normal for once. I mean I had no other guy-pals to talk to stuff like that about, although not that these could be 'guy-pals', but hey it is a start.

"Constantine? Awesome, I've been wanting to see that. I'd be up for that. I downloaded the trailer, and it totally looked like it's gonna have some bitchin' special effects... So, are we ready to hit the road?"

I glance to Andrew who seemed a bit sad that I already knew Jonathan, although knowing someone and 'knowing' them in Sunnydale, were two completely different things. We were of two different groups, but the way I see it? Had Buffy not come into town? Perhaps I would have been the third wheel to this odd tricycle. Or a Vampire. Either way? Very much with the different.

"Yay! Constantine! Bring your leftover Pez, ( ... )

"Well if you hadn't drank all that Pepsi? You wouldn't have missed those parts! I mean come on! Two trips to the bathroom? And you didn't even time it so that it was during the boring Keanu talking moments. It was always you wiggling in your seat until you couldn't hold it, which usually meant something cool was going to happen."

I nodded and smirked at Xander dressing down Andrew and his lack of bladder control. Of course I knew why Andrew hadn't left during the Keanu talk-a-thon scenes.

"That's because Wells here has a big old man-crush on Keanu. He like went and saw the Matrix like sixteen times in one week. He even has 'A Walk in the Clouds' on DVD. It's totally pathetic. I mean, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was a classic, and granted, the Matrix was way cool, and Keanu kicked ass and looked good in black. But sheesh, he's like only got two expressions. Blank, and blanker."

I popped more pez in my mouth and crunched on them as we continued walking to Xander's car.

"I just wish Keanu would stop acting. I mean honestly, I ( ... )

I watched helplessly as Jonathan and Xander bonded over their shared hatred of the "chosen one" stuff. I love the "chosen one." I mean, I know I'll never be the one chosen for anything, but I love the idea. I am more than happy to be the Chosen One's sidekick. Or, like, the zany neighbor ( ... )

I was poking fun at Andrew, but it was the truth after all. Andrew wasn't in agreement, but what guy is in agreement that he likes Keanu for reasons 'other' than acting. Which actually made me look at Andrew in a new way, not in a bad way or anything, it just made me a bit more curious about him. Anyway I knew my theories on Keanu were well liked anyway as Jonathon stopped in his tracks and gave me this odd look.

"Dude, that was like a Jedi moment. I was thinking exactly the same exact same thing. All that there can be only one Chosen One crap is so lame. Why is it only one? That's stupid and not very strategically sound if you ask me. A league of heroes would do better than putting all your powers in one superhero. Except Highlander. The original, not the crap sequel. That's the exception that proves the rule."

"There can BE only one."

Yep. These were my people. I tried something like that with Buffy, being the Slayer and all, and they all just laughed at me. Laughed! At Highlander! You don't laugh at that!

"But what was up with ( ... )

"So, you boys up for a bit of recon with me? There's an ex-comatose patient on the loose, and I am supposed to start making with the tracking. Are you game?"Xander wanted to go do some recon? That sounded way cool, and for a second I was all for the going into covert ops mode. Ex-comatose patient? Who could that be? Maybe it a was a girl and she was hot! But then I remembered ( ... )
