E's birthday

it was funny, we were all sitting there at the bar and E said, "ooh, listen to my ringtone." i tried my best, but over the noise of the bar i couldn't tell what it was. E informed me that it was the friends theme song, my bad i totally forgot the latest obsession, and only five years late and all. B said that i wouldn't know what that was. puzzled i looked at him and said, "of course not, i only owned all the rembrandts cds and all. i didn't need a tv show to get me hooked." E said it was kind of sad that the friends theme was her ringtone. i said, "do you wanna talk about sad? let's look at my wallpaper shall we?" what was more sad was that no one knew what it was except for B. um, hello...felicity. so nikki1 leans over and asks me if i've ever heard of this song that they heard when they were in san francisco. she couldn't remember who sang it, but it was something about boston. that was the sound of her head imploding when i played my ringtone for her. "that's it!" she screamed. talk about freaky. "so obviously you know it. who is that?" she asked. i informed her that it was augustana and that i had been obsessed with that song for the last five or so months. B rolled his eyes and called me P, the music snob. we laughed. they both got excited when i informed them that i had a copy of the cd in my car that i was listening to on the way there, and it was theirs if they wanted it. then nikki1 said, "oooh, listen to my ringtone, i have a new song for you!" i smiled and said. "oh, the fray, that's a good cd." she looked defeated, "you know them?" i told her that i loved that song about a year ago, and that i'd been hooked on the cd for the past few months. again, i got the P eyeroll from B. bastard.

jewel's you were meant for me video with the insanely adorable steve poltz is on right now. it's sad that she lost her mind, went insane, and thought she was beyonce. it really is. poor, poor jewel. did i mention that steve is shirtless in this video? and i'm not sure how she was crawling backwards without getting hung up on her hair. one of the great mysteries of the world i suppose.

where was i?

so we sat there and got tipsy. i was good, i stopped at beer #3. E and i did the routine juke box thing, yeah you know me by now. E got wicked trashed. she kept screaming that she loved me for showing up, and hated me for leaving at 12:30, before they headed out to bar #2. nikki2 made the scene uncomfortable with her three boyfriends. and somehow i still find myself drawn to her. "she's a chick!" i keep reminding myself. i asked B to take me to san francisco with him the next time he went. he said he would, but that the trip would only involve a one way ticket. i smiled, and this time my eyes were rolled, i've heard that one before. i guess that's why i fell so hard for him thirteen years ago this fall, just like me he's a dreamer.
