Matt's Sweet 16


A compilation of the past few days

I've tried to update. But just haven't had the time. So I'm going to try and summarize everything by taking bits and pieces of the entries I typed. This is going to end up being 9 days long. So be prepared. Anything new that I added today will be in box parenthases []. enjoy!!

04-25-03 Happy Sweet 16 Matthew!!!

On this day in the year 2000, I dedicated an Emily Bronte poem to my little brother for his birthday. Because that makes a hell of a lot of sense. Also on this day in the year 2000, I was complaining about bickering with Kirsten (some things just never change). I had a conversation with a guy named Luke who was in choir with me...about how the name Laura equals virgin. Something about a hair cut that screamed "boner", and more bitching about our now gay friend Mr. Mikey. Oh high school.

~So crush me baby I'm all ears.~

So sometime around midnight last night, Jesse finally called me. I was reading this great trashy novel that I got at the grocery store and talking to Ben on IM. And the phone rings...so I was all over the place doing 4 things at once. I AM SUPERWOMAN! Anyhow, he was like, "I got your voicemessage. What's up???" and I said something about this weekend. He gets all apologetic. "You're kidding?! I didn't think you were coming up that soon. So I told the guys at work that I'd cover for them this weekend. I'm sorry. I feel like an asshole. Do you think it's possible to postpone it until next weekend???" And I said that we'd have to see depending on the job situation. But probably. So I now have no plans for this weekend. I was getting all excited about it too. So that was a bit of a disappointment. The conversation last night kinda scared me a bit though. Not so much the conversation...just the person that Jess reminds me of over the phone. The way he jokes around...and even his voice...he reminds me of Thaddius. Of all people...Tim's best friend. [Just to dwell on this for a second, it's hard to describe, but it's just the way Thad would drag out certain words or start acting goofy and talking funny. Jess does the same exact thing. It's like a hilarious nightmare] He said something about all the fun stuff we'd do when I came up there. So I asked for some examples. And he's like, "we could go camping!!!" UGH. Tim used to talk about that shit all the time. Personally, I think my life is plenty fulfilling without a stay in the lovely outdoors. Don't get me wrong, being outside is fine. Spending a day fishing...or hiking...that's cool. But sleeping outside with bugs and creatures of the wild isn't my idea of a good time. So I said, "uh, I'm kind of attached to indoor plumbing." And he laughed. It wasn't really meant to be funny. But it was. Dammit, he was so apologetic for making plans this weekend. He said he was going to pay for everything while I was there. So I laughed and said, "oh, so you're gonna treat me right huh???..." hahaha. *sigh* I swear. If I wasn't slowly but surely going broke, I would refuse. (Because I'm stubborn...independent female style) I was planning on going reguardless. And blowing money anyways...why the hell not. It doesn't fucking matter. Money is the root of all evil.

~turn down these voices inside my head~

So I read an entire dirty romance novel last night. I don't know why I just couldn't put it down. It wasn't anything spectacular. 200 pages of character and internal conflict, about a million "filthy" encounters between the 2 main characters and then a happy ending. I laughed my ass off on the cheese factor alone through most of the damn thing. My next venture is a 324 page cheesy vampire novel that I also grabbed at the store last night. [I would just like to state that the vampire book isn't that good. I can't remember half of what I've read so far because everytime I start to read it, I start drifting off to sleep.] Dark Symphony...oooooh. I'm excited. But it's going to have to wait awhile. Because I need to take a shower and stuff for tonight's escapade. Night Ranger plays The Family Fun Fair at the mall. Laurie and I are going to make a good time of it.

~Despair can ravage you...~

11PM

So we hit the Fun Fair scene. Nice. Ran into almost every person I've ever known in my life. Finally saw DJ. He yelled at me "why the hell are you back?!?!" I do remember telling him once that I was never coming back. I have a way with contradicting myself. 3 feet down the hallway we ran into Josh (kid who used to hang out in Journeys all the time) Then 3 more feet and we ran into Kyle Norbeck. He didn't know that I was back permanently. So he's like, "we should hang out sometime!" He saw that I had my cell phone so he suggested we switch numbers. I swear...I'm seriously one of that boys fantasy girls. He used to badger me about hooking up in high school. But my excuse was that he was too young for me (at the time I was making fun of Nicole for dating freshman and had a serious problem with younger guys) So years later when I got together with Kyle (my x Kyle not Norbeck) Norbeck bitched at me because Kyle was 3 years younger than me and Norbeck was only 2 years my junior. Then when I started dating Tim, I had a conversation with Norbi about it and he told me it wasn't good. He got really mad when I said I was moving to CT and I'm pretty sure he was one of the many who told me I'd be coming back for him. Anyway, I tend to over exaggerate my point. He's been trying to hook up with me for years. But it's not so much his age anymore that bars me from going for it. I've heard too many stories, and he's a dirty bird. A DIRTY BIRD I SAY! So anyhow, by this time, Laurie was like, "I knew I shouldn't have come out here with you." because every 5 seconds we were running into people. That place was so crowded. I never realized how busy it was because I was always working. Let's see who else was there??? Mall Security Joe. (he used to work there years ago but transferred to Dayton. Everytime there's a big mall function they call him back.) Hmmm, who else...Mall security Mark who acted like he didn't want to talk to me (probably because he's invited me to hang out with him about 4 times and I never show up) Because he is also a DIRTY BIRD! We talked to Shannon. And ran outside for a smoke break (after Laurie signed up to win a gabillion different things.) Outside we ran into this kid who works at Gadzooks and I can never remember his name. And the new manager of Journeys. He was like, "weren't you just here yesterday?" Ya, cause I was shopping. I knew it would happen though. It just doesn't pay to be a mall rat. So I won't be out there again for a month. Unless I get the job at Wet Seal. (please God I need a job) Then after the smoke break, we went back in hoping that the Night Ranger show was about to start. But it hadn't and we stood in a crowd full of smelly white Lima trash until deciding we would watch from afar. So we walked down toward the bathrooms and faced the oddest encounter of the evening, Pat (TJ's roommate) and Tony. All I could say was "what's up?" I mean...should I have said, "how's living with TJ?" Honestly. I don't know. The situation with TJ isn't weird yet because I haven't seen or talked to him. I haven't even been tempted to call or stop by. I guess he WAS the rebound afterall. [it's gonna be strange the next time I go to see a movie though. geez]

04-28-03

Ok, back to realtime now. The 26th was just a day of Game Cube bliss. ALL DAMN DAY, my brother and I played the new game cube Zelda game. And I played a little more tonight. Hmm, fun things that happened...I talked to Jesse again. Makin' plans for next weekend. I guess he had a really bad day when I talked to him. He's not exactly the type of guy who shops. And he needed a new pair of jeans. Well he always buys the same size and brand. Which unfortunately, sometimes they decide to F with you and change the cuts. So he tried on every pair and none of them fit. So he got mad and God forbid...went to the mall. And still had no luck. He's like, "what the hell does low rise mean???" hahaha. So I promised that I'd go jeans shopping with him when I go out there. That wasn't the only thing that happened on Jess's bad day, but it was the funniest. Ok, let's see, I got a compliment today from Nicole. She said she gets a kick out of how I word things, and I use the oddest words at the least expected time. She gave me a word to use. I don't know if I'm even spelling it right...incindiary. She didn't even know what it meant. Then Andrew pipes up out of nowhere and says, "incindiary, it's means explosive." EH! where the hell did you pull your brain from Andrew. You NEVER speak unless someone is talking to you. It was very out of the blue. But look for it later. (wink wink) We were discussing how I mentioned "you slut" on here a few days ago. And she was like, "that was so out of place. No one will understand any of it. But I did which made it hellafunny". It's true. No one will understand it. And such is the definition of a SECRET! Muuuuhahahahaha. It's pretty much useless to hide it now. It was just too tempting not to tell Shannon the other day. I was trying to withhold the juicy part as long as I could but she kept guessing about who it was. "Does he drive a car like yours only a different color??" "Does he wear womens jeans from the Gap???" [it seems like i'm surrounded by guys who have issues with their pants.]

~I need a change. Not to imitate but to irritate.~

So Laurie called at noon today. And I was still asleep. I should really put my phone on mute when I go to bed. No. I should get out of bed at a normal time. She said that Nicole was on her way over there and they were finally going to work on the invitations and I should come over and help. Well, I rolled back over and fell asleep again. Woke back up around 1:30 and turned on the tv. BAD IDEA! Television is the root of all evil. Because I proceeded to sit there until 2:30 when Nicole called and told me to get my lazy ass over there. I tried. I really did. I got up and went outside to see what my parents were up to. I came back in and dicked around. Tried to eat a bowl of clam chowder. (something else I picked up in CT) I must admit, Campbell's has NOTHING on fresh East Coast chowder. D'angelo's!!! Angellino's!!! I miss those places so much. We ate there every other day at work. So I didn't finish my chowder. Cause I got bored with eating. And I realized it was nearing 3:30. So I hurried about and headed over to the house. I found Laurie and Steve watching some Carni movie on tv. It was the strangest thing. But Laurie and I did what we could with the invites. Before Nicole even came back from her dad's house. Then Laurie gets this great idea (she's just full of those in this entry) she thought it would be quicker if all 3 of us went over to Steve's sister's house and mowed her lawn. (a chore that she'd promised Drew $10 for) So we all went over there and did our part. It took like 15-20 minutes. Not too shabby. This is where Nicole and Laurie simutaneously theorized that the 3 of us should start a lawn mowing service. A "chickmow" if you will. I figure we'd rake in some big bucks. There are tons of dirty old men who would pay top dollar to watch 3 hotties get sweaty in their yard. I wonder if it would be wrong to ask for a dollar in my drawers everytime I picked up a stick...hmmm??? That would be incindiary!!! So ya, then we went to Nicole's and I devised a scandalous plan with Kacey while he was trying to fix their mower. Laurie mowed the yard and we ventured back to Laurie's so she could mow her own. But first, she once again astounded us with an idea. WEENIE ROAST!!! Nicole went for the weiners (and some triple black by my request, Laurie mowed the yard, Andrew went for gas for the mower and I swept the leaves off of the sidewalk. What a productive bunch! Once Nicole got back we ate weiners (which fueled quite a few dick jokes) Nicole took off, Laurie took a shower, and I was left to watch The Simpsons with Andrew. I left shortly after that. Around 9ish. Thought I was tired. But I think it was the alcohol. Cause Matt coaxed me into playing Zelda and now I'm WIDE awake. And so was my weekend. Unfortunate as I thought it was going to be. It didn't turn out so bad afterall. Downfalls??? I think I may have a strange foot disease. My right toes itch like a mofucker. Still didn't get a job...and I'm starting to form a zit on my right cheek. Telltale sign that I'll be starting my rag within the next few days. Not looking forward to that. But I'm sure next weekend will be a blast. And I AM looking forward to that. Ok, that was really long and unnecessary. So I'm going to read my vamp book and go to bed.
