Midnight Riders

So yesterday was an interesting day. I recorded for about four hours and got four more songs done. Twelve takes of "Only in America" and still no cut. That sucks.

After that, I saw Steve for the first time since May or something ridiculous like that. We escaped my house and went to this place I've never heard of called Paradise Grill and I got chicken wings. Then we returned to my house and attended one of my family's crazyness dinners.

I showed him my songs and he liked them a lot. Around 10:00 Mark showed up. Soon after that, Steve departed, since he was tired and had been here for about six hours.

Mark dragged me to Starbucks as usual and made me get something, so I got this disgusting tea that I didn't drink. Amazingly, we didn't run into anyone we knew at all. After that, we decided to go to the park, so we went back to my house to pick up my coat and cell phone.

The park was great! We went on the swings and discussed romantic experiences because he didn't think that I was the swinging type because it seems like the kind of thing I would be too scared of (due to heights). I also got pushed on the swings for the first time since I'm about six. That was awesome! It feels really good to be pushed. I'd forgotten, but as soon as he started, I remembered.

We went on slides and that was scary and somehow he got me to sit on top of this scary, high, slippery thing on top of the slide. After that, we went stargazing for a while and that was nice for me because I hardly ever get to anymore.

When we were leaving, two police cars showed up and we ran for it and Mark had a seizure over it. He's crazy about cops. It was SO funny. My coat got caught in the door and then he had to stop eventually to let it out and close the door. He made a few U-turns to get away from the police and we eventually ended up in Waffle House along with all these scuzzes. So I guess we blended in well, police-wise. We would be the last candidates for illegal activity in that place. Full of yutzes.

It was fun. Except he wouldn't come inside afterwards and watch Deliverance with me!
"Return the movie, Tali. I'm NEVER GOING TO WATCH IT!"
The hell he's not. One day....One DAY!!!

Hmmm...That's all I can think of.

Today was boring. I bought my textbooks for school for $150 instead of $500. Isn't that great? YES IT IS. And read more of As a Driven Leaf which is a great book. Aah, how I love heresy and heretics. (And how I'm one of them.) Hung out with my family. That's about it. One of those lazy days.

And a week before everyone leaves and goes back to school, leaving me alone for a week. :-(

I talked to James yesterday, though. He said I speak very eloquently, even online, and that after days of frying his brain on television, our conversation was greatly refreshing. Oh, James. You rock.
