lately i’ve been dreaming of you.

in the case of last night, drinking most definitely got things done. ashley went home for the weekend and i couldn’t seem to get myself invited to go out anywhere, so matt michalski came up and we sat around playing the legend of zelda and watching american pie 2 on TV. while drinking SKYY and rolling rock, of course (well not TOGETHER but you get the idea). the original plan was to get drunk and go to 7-11 because before we even started i really wanted a slurpee but matt said it must wait until after a few drinks. well instead we inebriated ourselves and biked to taco bell. yes, BIKED. it was….interesting, to say the least.

upon our return to shaw, taco bell was devoured and then matt sent a mass instant message to everyone on the “gUYS” category of my buddy list. at first i was like, “damnit matt” … but then a lot of people actually responded to it so i was like FINE i’ll talk to them i guess. i ended up talking to sam, who seemed pretty coherent, and he was telling me how he was upset with me for distancing myself from him and mike and matt and nathaniel. (note to self: figure out why sam’s trillian window is transparent while no one else’s is.) then sam was kinda harping on me to repair things between me and mike … and my train of thought went something like, you know, i am going to call him right now while i am too drunk to be afraid.

mike, i don’t know if you know this, but you are intimidating as shit. :)

so i ended up on the phone with mike for a little over an hour, mostly talking about (what else?) drum corps. and i guess since i finally told the two people i was most afraid to tell, i can just come out about the fact that i am going to the phantom regiment audition camp in november. i sent for an audition packet awhile ago but after i got it i didn’t think i was going to go…then last weekend at the golf pros & tennis hoes party ashley somehow ended up talking to dave peters and a bunch of other phantom kids…who of course were all talking about phantom and how they are trying to recruit people from the SMB to go to the camps…and ashley was like, “don’t tell her i told you but kristen has an audition packet.” i guess dave was all, “oh my gosh tell her she NEEDS to talk to me.”

hence dinner with dave tonight.

basically i talked to a lot of old friends yesterday. it made me realize that my new friends are amazing, yes, but i have to stop pretending i don’t miss my old ones.

and thanks to matt michalski for the instant message that started it all.
