Mourning.
You're still very present in my life, but I've been mourning the loss of our friendship for so long now. I don't know how I can ever get over the fact that things will never be the same. I don't know how I can ever accept that.

Stricly business.
Last week:
Tuesday was Title Fight and Fireworks at Charm City Art Space in Baltimore with Garrett, Tyler, and Andrew B. If I had to be with anyone, it would be those three boys. The drive there I thought I was going to leave Andrew at the rest stop, and there was a ridiculous amount of cops on 95, but who cares cause the show was SO solid. That was my first time going to CCAS and MANNN do I love basement shows. I actually got into the crowd, which isn't something I find myself doing that often anymore. Title Fight is one of those bands I will never get sick of seeing, and that's probably the same for Fireworks too. Fireworks set was a lot of fun, even though we were in a hurry because of Tyler's curfew. We got back to Dela around 11:30, dropped Tyler off, but didn't feel like going home. So we went to Main Street for a little while. While at Dunkin' Donuts we got yelled at by some random dude about waking his Grandma up and stood in the most awkward situation ever. You probably had to be there, but I couldn't help but start laughing and we all had to walk away. Hahah, I love the shit that I attract.
During one of the bands, we were all outside and walked to my car, during that time we noticed a bunch of cars on the side of the street we parked on window's were completely smashed out. Thankfully my car was fine, but not before we all looked at each other, Tyler goes, "Tesla..." and we run towards my car. Some guy that worked in the place in front of where it happened said some boys in a Chevy truck were just going by and hitting them with a baseball bat. Seriously, fuck Baltimore.
The next night Garrett and me had tickets for Paint It Black, but he ended up not being able to go. So after trying to find someone to give his ticket to forever, I finally ended up meeting Joey at the Ottobar. It was cool hanging out with him since although we've been around each other a bunch we've never gotten the chance to just talk one on one. He's an awesome dude. Anyways, I remembered how much I love that venue. The stage may be a little high, but I didn't mind at all and it's a decent size but most importantly the sound is absolutely great. We missed most of Ruiner's set but I'm almost kind of glad I didn't have to wait very long for PIB to play. They were so so soooo good. Definitely one of the most fun shows I've been too. I haven't listened to Propagandhi much, but they were decent and the show got insane. During their set I ended up standing directly in the middle of some girl trying to fight some guy, hahah.
Friday was Cut Short's show at UD. For almost absolutely no reason, I was in a fantastic mood this day/night and had a wonderful time. I went up to Newark early and gave Andrew B. a ride to Main Street and then went over to Tyler's. We hung out there for a while and he made me try this new tea. Delllliciousss. Then we loaded up his drums, went to the free show on Madison for a bit (but there was way too much cigarette smoke in there for either of us to handle and it was pretty chilly just standing outside) so we went to Pita Pit, drove around, and basically occupied our time before doors opened at the Perkins Center. Eventually we went over there, and then ran into a million and one friendly faces and everyone just hung out and all the bands were awesome and I sat wif mah merch and just had a great time. That always happens when there's so many good friends around, and so many different groups of them. I got to see Brittany and Laurie!! Afterward we all went to the Eagle Diner- me, Tyler, Bill, Garrett, Ben, Joey, Andrew B, Nick M, Eddie, Jess, Kyle H, Zoe, Shannon, Maddie, Josh, Megan, and Rich. Tyler and me had to leave pretty soon cause he had a curfew again, so I took him home and unloaded his drums and then met up with Melissa and Andrew F at the shopping center. We didn't know what to do so just decided to meet up in Middletown. Some how I made it from Newark to Middletown in 18 minutes and was there like 10 minutes before them- un freaking heard of. We still didn't know what to do so we just went back to Andrews and ate Apple Jacks and watched You Tube videos. I loved that night so much.
Saturday Garrett and me decided to hang out, so we went to Main Street and hung out, visted Eddie at Brew Haha, and waited for our movie to start and then went to see Watchmen at the Newark theater. Movie was AWESOME, although way way longer than I expected. I had a good time though. Then Sunday we went to Wilkes-Barre, PA which was like 2.5 hours away (although we got home ridiculously fast somehow) for Title Fight, Balance and Composure, and Tigers Jaw. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to finally have a friend like Garrett who'll drive ridiculously far distances to see bands we were/are completely likely to see again, just BECAUSE. I've needed someone like that for awhile. The show was wonderful, and it was definitely a good night. GOOD WEEKEND altogether. I just need them like that on repeat and maybe I'd be happy again forever.
Last night was Defeater/Energy in West Philly. Went with Bill and Garrett and it ended up being in some tiny, tiny basement. All the bands that played were awesome, Defeater blew my mind and I like them even more now if it's possible. Totally stoked on that band and have been for months. I had to pee the entire show so after their set I went off on a mission for a bathroom and Bill came with me so we just started walking in a random direction and OF COURSE ended up where I knew somewhere to go hahah. We were just a few blocks from the Party!Mansion...rip :( I don't really care for Energy but their set was alright. Oh, not to mention we all got away without paying for the show.
I finally worked again this week after like no work for 3 weeks, and for the first time actually started a conversation with Eric. I can feel myself opening up to more people and it reminds me of the progression I've made and I'm glad to be feeling like that person again.
The last few weeks have been sick, I hope they only continue. I love my friends, I love the way I live, I just have to stay up like this.

I am probably taking a trip to California around mid to late April. For at least 2 weeks, because Ashley and me are going to drive up the coast. Stopping in San Fransisco (to see Tatianna and Nicole), and then Sonora/Redding/Modesto, and then going all the way to Washington. Then back in a week's time. The other week I'll spend with her, family, and various other friends I honestly really owe the visit to. Jess, Laura, Eva, Betsy, Ashlee, Sarah, I don't know who I'll end up seeing. But the thought of a trip is still much needed, and the road trip Shley and I are now discussing makes me need (want) it so much more. I am still extremely lost, but I just need to start living..and this seems like a good step. All I really want to do is smile and travel, feel alive in a million different places. Fuck stability.
