after reading josh goupilles latest entry....
I felt compelled to write a little blurb about my summer. Although sometimes I do get winded, and this could turn out to be a long post that will take up most of the page...but i digress. So here we go.
Summer started around mid-May, oddly enough. I say oddly enough because I dont count the week I was living out of my car and in the practice spot as summer. I arrived home broken of my dreams to stay in Portland. Upon arriving home I realized that the friendships I had made throughout last summer were still good, and that I was going to be happier. I quickly found a job working at Irving because, face it, its what im good at (and my bosses from last summer wanted a quick, easy rehire).
I definately tried to keep a situation with a girl (that was already tainted) together, but found out quickly that neither her nor I were ready for the type of commitment that we had earlier concieved. She hasnt really talked to me much since, and is now dating one of Mikes friends. I am happy for her, and wish her the best.
I played my first show at The Kave in Bucksport, to a crowd of 15. I didnt really care because it was fun and I got to experience being on a decent stage. Since then the band has played a park show, a battle of the bands, recorded most of an album, and has three shows left until our singer, mr. philips, moves off to Ohio. As much as we rag on him all the time, he will be missed.
Ive spent a good amount of time working on friendships this summer. Or at least keeping the friendships i have made strong. I made a new friend this summer.. which seems kind of lame but oh well. I dont make good friends that often, and in a short time, this kid has become one of my closer friends. Outside of him, Josh, Mike, Tim, Richie, Hannah.... these guys and gal have kept me alive this summer. If not for them, i probably wouldnt have made it.
I met a girl too, but things are kind of fresh still so im not going to elaborate on it. Ill just say its great and she loves me. I love her too.
So now I sit here, three weeks left. Im broke; I thought saving money would be a lot easier than it was, but its not. Im probably crashing between Mikes and Lindsay's apartments, or any dorm room willing to take me in til i can find a place. Anyone need a roomie? I wont be going to school in the fall. That turned out to not work so well for me. I will be returning to school in the spring semester. Im kinda worried about where life is headed right now. There are a few things im unsure of.... like what ill be doing all this year. Or how ill be surviving in southern maine. If you could, please drop me bits of encouragement. Im going to need it. because im scared right now, just a little bit.
