dandy warhols - bohemian like you

i got about 7 hours' sleep last night, i just got back from driving brenda home in slippers and pajamas, and i'll be off to take a shower soon.
good glory, last night was terrific! all of yesterday, in fact. definitely one of the best halloween's i've had yet.
school was pretty usual, except i didn't talk to jeff much at all during weight training. steph and i sat on the wrestling mats, she played cell phone games and we talked. jeff had disappeared for half the time, and when he came over he still didn't say a whole lot to me.
after school i drove liz and jeff home, we all kinda wandered around my house while we found stuff to do. liz tore apart my room. i turned up the music and jeff "helped" me make brownies. very, very gradually we
liz just called and i am not ready for that kind of pointless constant talking right now. it's gonna be a long day.
anyway we gradually started putting on our costumes and steph and brenda came over. then they left again, i forget why, but they did. liz went to work. jeff and i wandered around my house for a while, me in my skanky ass whore costume and jeff in his regular clothes. 'cause yeah, he decided to hang out with the guys for halloween 'stead of goin' out in the freezing ass cold with all of us. when steph came back we drove jeff over to jaryd's, then went over to brandon's to pick up his little brother (brandon was working, but christian wanted to trick-or-treat). and i guess that's when stuff started to really pick up. 'cause yeah, i was kinda bummed that jeff wouldn't be with us, but i understand why he didn't come and all. but yeah, so while steph was going to get christian, she was tweaking out about anyone driving her car, so i was got her all freaked out while i climbed into the driver's seat. it's hard to explain, but she kept stopping and turning around while i moved a little bit more and was yelling and stuff... and yeah. it was just funny. so we all came back to my house and ryan was there and we finished getting ready and i stole my mom's leather jacket 'cause it was insanely cold out.
trick or treating was pretty interesting. freezing cold, if i haven't said that enough. i ran into the kids i babysit in the hooker-ish outfit. (what it was, is, black mini-ish skirt, thigh high fishnets, boots, half untucked dress shirt and a messed up black tie. i wore it 'cause i knew jeff'd like it but then he didn't come so... yeah. froze my ass off, really uncomfortable after a while in those boots and yeah.) halfway through the ridge brenda and i switched shoes, so i didn't look so bad in her black and orange tennis shoes. the fishnets kept falling down after a while. we all wanted to just take off and go to the mall or something but christian insisted we keep going... no matter how cold it was... anyway after a while christian -finally- got cold enough to agree to head back, and we kinda shuffled our way back across that insanely huge neighborhood toward steph's car. once we got into campus woods we were pretty much spent, brenda wasn't saying much, christian wasn't helping much, and ryan could barely move. steph and i decided we'd get warmed by running to the car, so we did. we made it to the van and almost died of joy when we got the heater on, then drove and got the rest of the kids from where they gave up.
we drove to my house and changed and got ryan's stuff, drove christian home and dropped him off, then headed down toward auburn. we went to regal and watched brandon forever through the windows. it was easy to spot him 'cause he was wearing a pirate hat and kept kinda bouncing around. so yeah, after doing that for about 10 minutes we were freezing again and went in, and talked to him. steph was happy 'cause she got to see her boyfriend, brandon was happy 'cause we visited him, and the rest of us were happy 'cause we thawed out again. we got some free water and when we got back into the cold, ryan threw the water in my face and my face froze. sorta. we got back to the car and i thawed out again. we didn't really know what to do after that, y'know? so we got some wendy's and ate that and parked and listened to the radio and talked but really, nothing happened. i tried calling jeff - didn't work, i forgot he doesn't have any minutes on his cell phone. so we sat around some more. my phone rang and steph looked at me and was like "ten bucks it's jeff." and it was! and of course i was insanely happy to hear from him, and he was about to meet us at brandon's later but then decided not to, which pretty much killed my happy mood. but at the same time it was kinda funny, 'cause as he hung up steph was screaming at him over the phone "look at that face! look what you did!" and they were like, "hey you're okay right?". 'course i told them i was fine, and now i've got a new favorite quote from ryan - "you're so full of shit your eyes are brown." so after that i just kinda slept in the seat, and later moved to the backseat wrapped up in my and ryan's sweatshirts. brandon got off work early, around 11:30, so we picked him up and this other guy kyle, and drove them home. it's kinda cool, 'cause this dude kyle lives in my neighborhood in that blue house. well you don't know what i'm talking about. but there's this blue house with a basketball hoop and a car with funky monkey stickers and stuff on it, and i've always wondered who lives there. and now i know! so he changed real fast and came back to brandon's with us. it was insane in his house. pat had a bunch of his friends over, they were all drunk. then there was us. terry came in and was like, "my mom said no one but the kids who came out of her own womb are supposed to be here tonight. and that's like, three people?" this was while we were all pretty much crowded into the family room watching tv.
anyway so we went out back and did stuff then came in and stood around for a while. luke made a pizza and we pretty much ate it all without him. while we were standing around the kitchen one of pat's friends came in and just puked into the sink, i kinda laughed about that to myself. he'd actually vomited on himself first, he'd been sleeping and people came in and started shaking him and he lost it. but yeah he went into the living room and passed out on the couch. pat was talkin to us, telling us not to shake him and stuff. it's kinda funny, actually. i've never heard pat say more than a couple words, and there he was, not shutting up. yeah. talked to brenda a little bit, she drank a little for the first time and she liked it. i had one bacardi raz, nothing more 'cause i didn't want to get drunk or anything. that would've been a little hard to shake off when we went home. we sat on the couch and ate christian's candy, someone put in predator and i kept dozing off and waking up. around 3:15 we, me tuey and brenda, packed up and headed home. ryan spent the night at brandon's. we drove home and came in, freezing again from the little bit outside, and all kinda dropped into bed in another 10 minutes. it was kinda funny, there was no way i was sharing my bed, so i kicked them into my brothers' rooms. and i think steph actually slept better than me, in brent's room with all the giant blankets my mom put on his bed, though brenda was really freaked out by scott's room and the weird quilt on the wall.
we all got up around 10:30 and just sat in brent's room and talked for a while, steph went home and brenda was supposed to be picked up by her mom, but we didn't hear her at the door so i had to drive her home. i hope she's not in trouble for that....
but yeah, last night's also kinda hazy, so much happened that, for example, i couldn't remember if i'd actually heard the dandy warhols on the radio or not until steph mentioned that she couldn't figure out why she had that name in her head. so we all started singing the song and yeah. it was just, a really good night. lots of fun stuff, lots of 'misery loves company' going on in the cold, lots of just stupid sleeping and talking and, yeah. i enjoyed it a bunch. i just wish jeff could've been there... it would've been a lot better.
i really want to write about something in this, but it's something i don't want everyone to know about. i've talked to tuey and ryan about it, and jeff and i have sort of figured it out. it's just hard... i dunno... i feel bad but it's not something that usually comes up, so it shouldn't be a real big deal, you know? but it is.
