rise against - voices off camera

i couldn't get into it at first. i mean, sure it was a good day. school was easy and liz, donovan, and i ran around again after school at goodwill and toys 'r us and the dollar store. liz and i tried on wedding dresses at goodwill. donovan bought insane lights from the dollar store. it was good. but i didn't enjoy it as much as i should've. then at rai's, i mean, it was fun and all. i kicked sarah's ass at... shit... i already forgot the name of that game. but it was insane. i want to buy an x-box just so i can play that game for hours on end. anyway, i hid away in rai's room for a while, listening to angry rock and surfing the 'net. fran and i talked for a while. and i just felt so.. disconnected. you know, like i've been feeling a lot for the last long while.
but it did get better. donovan, liz, and chris crowded into rai's room with us. we put on techno and turned out the lights and had a little mini-rave. (at least, that's what rai says we were doing.) after, chris and i talked in his room with mountain dew. nothing real important. i just feel like i've found an old friend again (another one.) donovan and i sat out on their roof with his lights and watched their neighbor, and made up stories about the two orange lights in their basement. it was just... fun. plain old, good simple fun. nothing illegal, nothing angry, nothing offensive. just fun. chris's dad heard us out there eventually and we had to climb back inside, and we all crowded downstairs and played more video games, more card games. and it felt good. i can still relate to people after all. anyway, this weekend's going to be a long one, but i'm looking forward to it. i hope it'll be fun.
