We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made.
An accidental constellation.
These past few weeks have been very interesting. I've gained a lot of insight as to my life and how I want it to go as of right now, and I've grown a lot closer to a few of my friends, despite at times not wanting to see another soul.
We'll start with two weeks ago; I went to a rave. I don't remember what the name of it was, but it was at Cottage Grove Armory, and to be perfectly honest, it wasn't all-too-amazing. I strung a bit, but that didn't really seem to interest me that much. I did enjoy watching the sock-monkey-guy glow-chuck; he was very good. I saw Jack there; that was pretty cool. I don't really ever see him anymore. Before I started writing this, I was talking to Nick. I feel bad I don't get to see my once-oh-so-close-friends very much anymore, but there's a reason for that which I'll talk about later. Well, Nata and I were tired of the show after only about three hours, so we headed back to Joshu's.
The following week (last week,) my car decided it would like to start overheating. Turns out the water pump went bad. Telling my dad we'd take it in, but that he needed to contact me and tell me how much the repair was going to be before he okay'd it, it went into the shop. It was finished the next day... And I had no idea how much it would be. Arriving there, I had a nice little bill of $450.00 to pay.
Cool. Glad I was fucking contacted about that. I love surprise-paying $450 after a long day of work.
Soooo, I get that fixed. A couple days later, Natachu, Bunny, Dylan, Joshu, Jolene, and myself decided to have an all-night-get-together. Jolene was happy to drive Nata and Bunny here, since I told her I wasn't sure if my car would make the trip and back. I was just being paranoid, though... Until the morning, when I was driving them back home, and my car started overheating again. Dylan came, got them, drove them home, and I got the car towed back to the shop. This time? Head gasket. $1,500. Fuck that shit.
So I've been carless for a while now, biking and walking places. The only people I've really been hanging out with being the aforementioned group and KT/Tim, since they're really the only ones to come up to my doorstep and rip me from the confines of my house. I went Disc-Golfing with KT and Tim the other day, which was incredibly more fun than I had previously expected. I then had an impromptu sleepover there. Oops!
I always feel bad though... I feel like I've led KT on in the past. I DID like her, but I had so many problems with other relationships/girls... I'm very glad she has someone like Tim now; I'd never be able to do what he can do for her (Provide a house, car, etc while she goes to school) and I think he's a very good match. In Omaha, they were fighting pretty hardcore, and to this day, I'm not exactly sure what it was all about... I just hope that's all past and they're living happily together now. ^^ I'm also glad we can be good friends, I just wish I could see them more often o_o
Friiiiday, I went and saw Owl City/Swimming With Dolphins play. It. Was. AMAZING. Easily the best show I've been to since Of Montreal or Xiu Xiu. There was so much emotion, so much love, so much happiness there.. They'd also made their synths... Really... Dance-y. Or something. Just a lot more energetic than even on their CDs. They opened with a dance version of Hello Seattle, and closed with the actual song. We met some really awesome people there who were on a road trip from Texas, just to see them o_o. I ended up picking up a Mario-style Owl City shirt, and Nata picked up their hoodie.
After the concert, our little family got together back at Joshu's for one of the most amazing nights I've had in quite a while. That's a subject for another time, though ^^
Now, I'm sitting on my couch, listening to whatever pops on in Songbird. I'm actually in an incredibly good mood, despite the fact that I have to walk to work today, and I'm definitely feeling lazy today. Luckily, I don't work until four today, so I don't really need to rush.
Thinking about the future, and what I want to do. What would make me the most happy in life? What do I really want to do after I leave Best Buy? With the way I want things to go now, it would be many years before I could really do anything. Time's a bitch sometimes. It especially sucks when there's nothing you can do about it. I'd change it if I could, I really would; that's not the reason I'm in this. It just happens to be this way. I need to learn to get better with money, too. I suppose having a car without really really shitty gas mileage will help as well, with how much I drive--I've been spending probably 60 to 70 bucks a week on gas, with my shitty 15MPG. I could get better mileage in a truck >_>. I'm planning on getting either an Accord, an Impala, or a Sunfire. I like the Sunfires, but I definitely want four doors, with how much I seem to be the taxi. I unno. An Impala would be nice; then I could actually have space for people, junk, AND a good sound system eventually. Blarg.
My XBox works. That's sweet.
I played RO the other day. I miss that game.
NASA - The Spirit of Apollo is an amazing album.
Sleeping on Zune headphones hurts my ears.
I killed a huge fucking spider this morning, in the bathroom.
Jen is getting progressively more insane.
I miss certain friends.
I won't have a TV for a while D: ... Money's going towards car.
Coffee is delicious.
