This girl. This field star, hello night, goodbye light girl was just that: playing the field. She spent her school days searching for that one knight in shining armour, her one prince charming. Summer days spent wasting away, causing daydreams to numb the pain. Vintage Vinyl opened her eyes. Spinning records, scratched vinyls, and busted 8tracks cast the spell to start it all. They brought her that perfect summer daydream. That boy. That ADHD, hello love, goodbye like boy came from the sky. He shook her hand but got her heart. Together, they spent the rest of summer wasting away. Weeks became months, months equalled love. That boy. That sweet, hello smiles, goodbye frowns boy turned out to be a loser in tinfoil. He left her standing under a tree - you know the one. The same one she refuses to go near to this day. She spent days upon days waiting for new from the boy (but she knew time not enjoyed wasted was still wasted). The girl gave up, throwing herself into her writing when Vintage Vinyl called for her yet again. The boy. The older, hello mending, goodbye break boy took her heart and prevented further damage. His career took him away, but his heart always brought him back to her. After creating a summer love, they decided to go their separate ways but remain friends (sometime later, the boy confessed that although he had another, his heart would always be attached to her). This girl. This lonely, hello permanent heartbreak, goodbye constant love girl gave up. She was taken off of the field and put on the sidelines.
That's something I wrote September 9th. It's a short story that coincides with a fanfic I'm writing. The title used to be The Girl Who Played The Sidelines And Lost but I promised my co-worker and friend, Dee, that I'd write a sequel to this so that will be about the girl playing the sidelines and winning. It has nothing to do with my personal life; purely fiction.
So, today I'm meeting someone who could be so good for me. We like the same things (I never thought I'd hear a guy admit he likes Panic) and we're random. We've sent like, over 300 texts back and forth since Saturday night. And I'm not like my sister; my friend, Katy, is hooking us up. But Katy tells me I'm in for a few surprises tonight. I guess I'll update tomorrow or something with how that goes.
I had one of the worst dreams of my life Monday night: my middle sister, Robin, and I were at the Hawthorne Heights show that we're going to November 25th but it was like an outdoor festival during the summer. So, we're standing side-stage and all of a sudden, I look next to her and Casey Calvert is standing right there. I just stare at him cause it's so unreal. She goes, "This is my 'imaginary friend', the person I've been talking to all that time" cause I'm guessing she was psychic. So I start crying and he just hugs me. I'm all like, "I've been wanting to meet you for forever" and he says the same to me. I hate my brain for doing that to me. I get so emotional when it comes to Casey.
HOLY SHIT. "It's Almost Halloween" just came on my laptop. The first time I saw the video, I laughed so hard I fell off of my chair. Who can blame me? It's funny stuff. I so wish I was there for the Halloween show but I was having an awesome time at Dorney Park (then at my RBL show two days later).
Thinking about that made me think about "Shout" which makes me want to watch Animal House so bad. I think I'm gonna watch it when I'm done with this.
I was watching the South Park movie Monday morning (let's say five-ish) and I thought about my co-worker and friend Jessica (who happens to have the same birthday as me) because she's Canadian. I love Canada. I used to be weird; reading books about the country and practically obsessing over it. And who can forget Degrassi every Friday night at eight on The N (or re-runs everyday)? I stopped watching Degrassi after they killed JT and made Craig a drug addicted rock star. I was actually supposed to go to Ottowa to visit my friend Nikki one year. She moved back to Brooklyn so that was a "no".
If anyone has seen my Twitter, you know how much I whore out Kids of Survival. Well, I've known those guys for almost 5 years. I met Dylan (the drummer) in high school freshman year, thus meeting the rest of the band at my first show of theirs (back when they were Stiffler). They've become some of my best friends (and four of the few guys friends I have). They really are great guys and spectacular musicians. They're currently working on their next album but check out their MySpace and tell them Dez sent you. I promise you won't be disappointed.
I'm actually gonna go watch Animal House and maybe write for a bit before Katy gets here around 3:30.
Peace.Love.Dez.
