TFO was really fun tonight! I got there early and talked a bit with Conor, then joined Christen. She had so many stories to tell me. I swear, she looked like she’d just gone light-years ahead of her personality…we were all in this twilight zone. All this insanity about her mom and Allen…it was quite a lot to take in at once.
The movie was the Batman from the 60s, I don’t really remember much about it. It was really fun, I wish Drew could have come. It’s 4:30 a.m. and I just got home. The thing was supposed to start at midnight, but they waited until like one thirty to start it.
Annie and her daughter were there, and Christen gave them a ride home. She was talking about this trip out to the desert that she’s going on next week. It sounds amazingly fun, I think I’m going to ask for Wednesday off of work in order to go. I’ll have to miss a bunch of my class though. Seriously, I just feel totally fucking done with that class. I missed it twice this last week after being like religious about going. I need to sit and calculate what grade I’ll get if I miss three days, since 90% of the grade is attendance. I just can’t pass up a chance for the kind of catharsis that a few days out in the middle of nowhere offers. Well, that and the prospect of another awesome road trip with Christen makes me really want to go.
I saw Nick at TFO too…the crowd was so different than usual this year. It’s so like…mainstream this year. Normally it’s a million emo fags, but like, this time it was people who were shushing the people shouting jokes. For fuck’s sake, it’s TFO. Shouting jokes is the point.
I really did miss Drew…going to TFO is such a couple-ey thing, it felt weird to be there alone when I’m in a relationship.
It’s sleep time.
Do we get to see a photo of Christen at TFO? You’re right: those “shushers” should go home and go to bed.
Speaking as a teacher, we hate it when students stop coming. We take it personally. And we hate giving bad grades. Don’t forget to factor in the human aspect of your not attending.
My favorite thing about Drew so far: you and he actually talk to each other about your relationship. How rare is that? I hope you keep that up. My experience is that when you start telling your friends the problems with the relationship instead of the partner, well, that doesn’t bode well.
I’m too lazy to dig through your archives to find that one photo of Drew you posted. Can you put up another one?
