five iron frenzy - dandelions

i'm in a wonderful mood. as you can see, i missed the deadline by a shot. 5 minutes after i woke up, ryan wanted to know what the deal was for today. needless to say, i had no idea. a couple hours later, after i had showered and changed my sheets and started laundry, vacuumed, and all that, tuey showed up, followed shortly by ryan. brandon came around 4, and we all sat around talking and eating and listening to music for a long while. hello, flashbacks to summer! as well as junior high. ryan even reminded me of five iron frenzy, the christian ska band i oh-so loved back in 7th and 8th grade, and consequentially got him addicted to. so i've gone and downloaded a bunch of the old songs i know and love, and i'm stuck listening to them repeatedly.
anyway, we went back to steph's when she started getting too paranoid (her mom was being suspicious all day). i called up jeff and he joined us, i played tetris forever, we all talked and laughed and just... sat around some more. looked at flash cartoons on the computer. made strange noises. yeah, it was enjoyable, and i'm glad it happened. i was tempted to spend the night with everyone tonight, but i have so much to do tomorrow (today), i really couldn't do it. but i'm jealous of them, brandon and tuey and ryan. they're going to be up to all hours of the night, bonding and all that, while i get to sleep early and do homework all day tomorrow. sigh. oh well, i'll get my chance another day, y'know? i just wish my parents would suggest "why don't you all just spend the night tonight?" to a group of coed teenagers.
"ska is just hyped up reggae. seriously! take bob marley, turn it up a notch, and you've got ska."
