You know.. it's sad. (Sorry if I've already discussed this topic with you.. yeah, you know who you are.) You spend days on end with someone for months, maybe years of your life. You know (or think you know) each other inside and out.. and at one point in time.. you (supposedly) mean the world to each other and (supposedly) love them with all of your heart. Then.. you break up.. you swear up and down that you'll try to stay friends cause you've meant so much to each other for so long and then you don't ever hear from each other for however long and hear from someone who knows someone who knows someone that knows little bits and pieces about this person that you once knew. You hang onto these little bits of information and try to rationalize the reasons that things never worked out. Then, one day, you run into each other and it all hits you. This person is a complete stranger.. although a different one from one you'd run into on the street. Different because you know lists and lists of things about this "stranger" standing in front of you. You know their likes, dislikes, habits.. but you no longer "know" them. It's so weird..

This weekend I listened to my mom for a change. She always told me not to talk to strangers..

Yesterday was Jantzen's birthday.. so we went out to dinner. I met a bunch of Eller's friends.. finally got to put some faces to the names I've heard so many times in the past few weeks. I've gotta say.. I liked them all (I'm glad my baby brother's has such good friends). Dinner was at Applebee's and afterwards I gave in to the peer pressure and said I'd go to the hookah lounge when I know that I should have gone home to sleep (after all, I did have work at 6:30 the next morning). Fez Cafe was tight.. the hookah was WAY better than the stuff we smoked the night before. Anyways.. I spent the entire evening contemplating whether I should call in sick today.

Whelp.. I got home around 1:30 and eventually fell asleep around 2. 5 o'clock rolled around way too quickly.. and after battling the snooze button for an hour.. I called my assistant manager to let her know that I'd be coming in late today. I got in to work at about 9 and I was a fricken zombie the whole morning.. and yeah.. work sucked.

Oh yeah.. I talked to Alyson today.. and the dates are set for the trip we've been planning for Cancun! September 19th baby!!

Oh the carnage!! I walk through the battlefield making sure I haven't lost anyone. I poke them with my finger and watch closely to make sure that chests continue to rise and fall with every breath. Bodies are strewn across floors and toilets.. convulsing.. mouths foaming with half digested remnants of rice and vienna sausage..

Damn dude.. last night was hella FUN.
