johnny cash - hurt

okay so unlike the terrible lonely empty days spent in my house all alone, today was interesting.
i just got home and i got my paycheck today! $300! whoo!
so. after school i came home, saw no one around who wanted to use the car, so off i went to tuey's and sat in her room going through her shit until she got home. i found a silly book about a schizo boy and started reading that. tuey 'n brandon came home and we ate leftover pizza, i advised shauna on her asb president campaign at illahee, and basically the three of us sat in her basement and chewed the fat for a good long while. we drove brandon to work at 4, and almost died several times getting down to auburn and back. this one guy pissed tuey off and she started tailgating him (worse than she always does. you know.) and well... yeah we almost died. and then this old bastard was on our ass through federal way so i glared at him and we scared him, it was really funny! yeah and i know other stuff was going on but i don't remember all that clearly, we were listening to blink's enema of the state.
so when we got home we sat around her house, tuey passed out on the couch and i finished her book. dude, the guy that fixes her tv was really creepy, he came in and started watching tv and just... sat there. she's right. he does that!
umm so then she had to babysit, so we went to fred meyer and got junk and i went 'n hung out with rory 'n brenna for a while 'cause she doesn't love me.
and this made me sad.
just, it's always been brandon and tuey for so long that is was... strange, to be around other people from school. do you know what i mean? it's hard to explain. very few of the people i see on a daily basis go to decatur. very few. so it was like, hey, i know these people, but... weird. anyway, it was nice. we played frisbee and laid in the grass and it was fun. it just.. shit i'm really bad at describing things tonight. it's been a while since i've been around new people and not in a huge group. and i've always been telling tuey i need new friends, and i realized tonight that this was kind of what i've been trying to find. throwing a frisbee around in the dark, just random nonsense shit. i've missed that. i remember back in the day, brandon and i stood in the middle of his family room and threw a nerf football back and forth for like... an hour. and it was just cool. so, yeah. i really really hope this summer is like that, new people and new things, instead of the same old sitting around.
however! i do still like my sitting around time, no worries. after rory kicked me out of his house i went back to tuey's, where laura and brian and justin's parents were standing around the kitchen drinking margaritas. and so i talked to them for a little bit, and brian got mad at me for having twizzlers, tho justin's parents took them and started making sexual jokes about them. i love tuey's house! it's seriously my home. i was born into the wrong family.
so tuey came and took me away 'bout 5 or 10 minutes after i got home and we went next door and watched a vh1 thing on aerosmith the whole night. just sat on the couch and talked about how awesome aerosmith is, and tuey's obsession with joe, and we drank soda and sobe and she danced and her sister umm.. did homework? yeah. it was wonderfully comfortable and loved every moment of it, but i definitely noticed the contrast between the kind-of... excitement? tension? anticipation? with people you don't know so well and the complete blah-ness (and when i say that, i mean the image of two people sprawled on a couch for hours on end and never once feeling like there needs to be a conversation), comfort and confidance level with someone who knows virtually every detail of your life.
and, brent dearest called me today so i suppose i'll be drinking tea with him on the beach tomorrow. it's funny tho, he was looking at movies while he was talking to me and telling me nothing's good in the theaters, but it didn't click that he doesn't have a computer here until i came home, found my door wide open, all the applications and stuff open, and the web on moviefone. grrr, payback for all the times i went through his stuff i guess.
this morning i downloaded two very cool songs, social distortion's cover of ring of fire, and johnny cash's cover of hurt, so i've been singing them all day and getting the lyrics messed up and totally pissing tuey off. and then i downloaded a bunch more social distortion while i was at school and now i'm listening to them.
