Last Friday I went to a party at Bill's. I stopped by my house in Ewing and no one was there, bummer. The party was fun, I saw Bill, Becca, Andrea, Nate, Kevin Fuck and some other people. Got drunk and in the morning I was dying for Burger King breakfast for some reason. So I drove to the one on Olden and it wasn't open yet, which was bullshit becuase it should have been. So I drove back down south and went to the one in Marlton and got waaaay too much and felt super sick afterwards, so I slept all day.

I don't remember what I did during the weekend at all.

Tuesday was my first day of work at 7 AM. Of course, Pat and Scott called me in the middle of the night from North Carolina to be hilarious. Anyway, Tom and I get to the building at 7 and find out that we're not really supposed to start till 8 and it was a mistake, so we sat there for an hour and a half. Finally, people started coming in. We were split up and each teamed up with a technician, and our job is to go to schools in Marlton and do stuff with computers. We take out old ones and put in new ones and take apart them and hook up these things to the TVs. It's a pain in the ass running wires through the ceiling. The guy I work with, Mike, is kind of weird. He doesn't talk more than 5 minutes a day, mumbles to himself, and isn't very clear with directions at all. And doesnt' get my jokes. But hey, we get work done. After work, I picked up Caroline and went to hang out with Amanda and Kathryn. We got snow cones from some kids on Kathryn's street and played with some person's cat in their driveway. Dave Mejia showed up and then we went driving around Medford and Southampton and did some exploring. Then I dropped off the kids, got some Denny's with Caroline, and went to sleep.

Wednesday after work, I went home and fell asleep for a while becuase my life is so exciting. Then Leigh Anne texted me while I was asleep to hang out. At first I said no becuase I was really tired, but then I decided to not be a nerd, plus it was kind of mean of me to have an away message that said "hang out with me and call me" and then say "i don't wanna hang out". So I met her and Lauren Pilla at Passarello's and hung out with them for a while.

Thursday after work, I went to Tom's house to meet him, Dave, Chelsie, Dave's brother Matt and Brandon from Tom's band. We drove to the train station to go to Philly to see The Get Up Kids for their last tour. We got there and dicked around on a playground for a bit before finally getting to the Electric Factory. I liked the first band, it was some guy, but I can't remember his name. No one else liked him. After them, I saw Alex there and got punched in the face by Sarah for asking her to make out. Then me and Alex saw Brian Schopfel and Kevin Scanlon from None Too Soon randomly. Then The French Kicks played. They were okay. Jonah was apparantly standing in front of me during it and I hadn't seen him in like a year, so we talked for a bit. Then we got psyched for The Get Up Kids and moved up into the front of the crowd. They started with my favorite song, Coming Clean. They played pretty much every song I wanted to here, including No Love and Beer For Breakfast. After their set "ended" they came out and did like a five song encore and closed with "I'll Catch You." I got really close to the front during No Love and ran into Cheezer. Dude was sweaty. I got into the 3rd row during the last song, it was weird being so close. After they were done I said hi to Zietler who's really reall blonde now and then went outside. I saw Tom Smith from TCNJ. Then we all went back to Jersey and hit up a Wawa with a really stoned and funny cashier. Then I finally got to go home and go to bed.

Work friday SUCKED becuase I was so tired. Then randomly after about two hours, Mike suddenly goes "I gotta go, I just gotta leave for operations (our headquarters) to do stuff. I'll be back in maybe a half hour, just do what you can." So I slooooowly walked around the school to see what rooms needed stuff installed, but it was only one wing of the school. It'd been two hours and Mike never came back, so I went and took my lunch. It's supposed to be a half hour, but I was gone for like an hour and a half. I was thinking "Shit, I am so late, he's gonna kill me", but when I got back to the school, he still wasn't there. I installed some of the rooms that were easy to do with one person, but then there was one where I'd have to run cables through the ceiling. I got a 6-foot ladder, which sucks because I need an 8-footer since I'm so short, and tried doing it myself. It took 45 minutes and I almost fell off the ladder a dozen times (since I had to stand on the top since I'm so short), but hey, I did it. Then I decided to watch TV until 3, when I went back to Operations, dropped off the stuff, said "See ya Monday" to Mike and left an hour early.

During work, Pat and Lauren kept calling/texting me to convince me to go to fucking BALTIMORE, MARLYAND, to pick up Pat and Scott from Rookie of the Year's show. For some dumb reason I agreed. Even though I was supposed to go to a party at Bill's becuase Becca and Kate were going to Australia for a few months and I wanted to see Tim since he wasn't coming back to school. I was also supposed to go to Dave's birthday party too. But what do I do? I agree to go to Maryland with stupidkid. She picks me up around 5:30. We got there at about 8. It was supposed to be a 2 1/3 hour drive. We suck at directions. She also kept trying to crash the car to hear me freak out since I get all high pitched. I saw a woman who's face looked like a bean and freaked out and Lauren almost crashed. She got to know me entirely too well and I got way too comfortable around her but I guess a FOUR HOUR ROADTRIP will do that. She poured water on me for being RIGHT about which way to turn too, becuase I said I hate getting water poured on me. Total bitch. Anyway, we get there a few minutes before Rookie was supposed to play. Watching Scott do merch is funny because he's super serious about it. He was doing Cute Is What We Aim For's merch too because he's nice. Pat made a sweet spreadsheet to keep track of the merch too. They played pretty well, but Scott said that since they weren't drunk they sucked. After the show we got in Lauren's car and started driving back. Then my dad called and reminded me I'm supposed to help his girlfriend move out of her house and into her new place in the morning, so I decided to not go to the party everyone else was going to. When we got back to Jersey two hours later I went to bed.

And then woke up to go move furniture all day. Sweet. It took us like 2 and a half hours to move Gerry (my dad's girlfriend). It might have taken less time if she actually PACKED all her stuff beforehand and didn't have random crap everywhere. Then we drove to Marlton to move all of her stuff in, which was a huge pain in the ass since it was a 3 story townhouse and all the heaviest stuff was, of course, for the third floor. But she bought me a hoagie, so we're even. After breaking my back, we went back to Gerry's old house to pick up a fouton she was giving me. She lived really close to where I used to live in Cherry Hill. Anyway, after that I showered and went to Pat's house. THen me, him, and Scott picked up Caroline and Shaun. We were supposed to be at the show in north jersey at 7, and we got Shaun at 6:55, and it was an hour away. Whoops! So we get into town and immediately see Rookie's van ahead of us, going to the liquor store, so we follow them. TJ was reading my X-Men comics in the front seat. They got their liquor and we went to the show. It was in a little church sunday school or something, it was cute. Pat, Ryan and I drank rum in the van and I got pretty drunk pretty fast. Caroline joined us for a bit too. Then we got some Taco Bell. I almost broke my neck stealing shotgun from TJ. I dove from the left backseat into the shotgun seat headfirst into the dashboard. Ouch. When we got to Taco Bell, I ordered a Club Chalupa and the lady said that they were just a temporary promotional item and they didn't have them anymore. I almost cried. Shaun got me some Red Bull from some store and I drank it and got even more annoying, I ruled. Scott was getting so sick of me, hahaha. Lauren came eventually so I talked to her for a while and was very nice to Taryn because I really had no reason to talk shit on her forever. We watched David whateverhislastname is from Drive Thru Records. He's like 17 but pretty good. Not my type of music but he was good for his thing. We watched Cute Is What We Aim For Next too. Shaun had a video camera and filmed me cutting a sick promo on HHH because I was retarded. Then Rookie of the Year played. It's really funny that Pat is in charge of getting people to clap. I remember that I used to think they weren't that good from the demos I heard, but I absolutely love them live. THey changed Poison Like Your Own, a song i liked, around alot and it's 100 times better. They're really good and I'm glad Pat and Scott are having a good time with the band. After the show we drove home and I slept.

Today I woke up at 9:30 becuase I thought my WTSR Radio Station meeting was at 11, but it was at 12, so I slept for another hour before going. The meeting, thankfully, only took 2 hours instead of 5 like last time. Gavi never showed up, I wonder what happened to him. We got some shit done. Then I went to my house in Ewing to drop off a mirror for my room. I didn't tell anyone I was coming becuase I like making surprise entrances and getting a big reaction. So I pull up with music blaring and Katy runs out to greet me. It was nice seeing Katy, Kevin, and Blair. Especiall since when I stopped by the house last week for a visit no one was there. After moving my stuff in, I went to Amanda's graduation party and hung out mostly with Kathryn, Sarah Hashmi and Dave Mejia. We played alot with Kathryn's camera. There's alot of film of me eating pizza. "I FUCKING LOVE PIZZA." I felt kind of weird since I barely knew anyone there. It was kind of funny because there were alot of people there but they were all in Amanda's grade and pretty different kinds of kids than me. It was funny walking there wearing camo shorts and a ROTY t-shirt and sweaty when everyone was wearing dresses and stuff. And I thought I was the only one my age, but then Doug was there. I like that kid, it's too bad I never talk to him and see him like twice a year. His tattoos are pretty cool. I played some bean bag game or something with the kids and I suck so bad at throwing stuff. Rob and Dylan and Keith came too, I like seeing those guys. I left at around 5 after Kathryn and Dave left and left pour Sarah by herself.

Then I gave Mel a call to hang out. She was really nice and picked me up. We hung out at some pool hall that she spends all of her time in. She looked absolutely great too, I couldn't believe it. Her friends were pretty funny, especially that dude that worked there and hit on everyone. Oh, and she ran into a pool cue because she's still a clumsy doofus. We hung out there for the night and sat around outside staring at the stars. It's pretty amazing that we can not talk for like 2 years after leaving things on bad terms and get along so well right away. I missed her alot, and I'm glad we're hanging out again.
