& I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes,
But if the silence takes you,
Then I hope it takes me too.
So brown eyes I hold you near
`Cause you’re the only song I want to hear.
Could last night have been any more pointless?
So here’s a summary!
Okay so I was bored all day, downloading music and such, and then Tiff suggested we do something…and after a ton of complaining and unecessary but light drama and discussion and all that stuff I hate, we decided on Vincent’s house, sleepover at Sam’s, and then do something in the morning.
At Vincent’s, we played Mario Party, and then Robert picked Jansen up, and Tom took Tiff, Sam & I home. And we sung Disney songs in the car!
When we got to Sam’s, we realized we could’ve just stayed out because her parents weren’t home. So Tom picked us up again and we drove around, still singing disney songs. And then we got back to Sam’s just as her mom was coming back…but fail, we were locked out of her house xD We ended up saying we were taking a walk because the house was too hot?
We sat around and complained about the incomprehensible cuteness of a stuffed animal cell phone holder pig thing…and fell asleep.
Up until this point the night had been pretty fun.
Around 4 AM, Sam woke Tiff & I up, saying Robert was on the way to pick us up, and this confused me because I thought Tom’d pick us up. Anyway! FOR SOME REASON, Sam says they’re going to pick us up at Vinh Kee, so we WALK to Vinh Kee at 4 AM, just woken up, in the cold and the rain, God damnit.
…When he could’ve just picked us up @ Sam’s?! POINTLESS #1.
So once we get to Vinh Kee, no one’s there to pick us up. Sam calls Robert, and turns out they hadn’t even left yet! NEVER AGAIIIIIIIN.
We had to wait…and you know who ended up coming to pick us up?! TOM. IT MAKES NO SENSEEEee
Disney songs still playing. Robert, Vincent and Jansen are following us in Robert’s car, and we decide to go to IHOP, because much earlier, Tiff said we should have some 4 AM IHOP. We get there. And we ask, so who’s eating? And no one’s hungry. No one would’ve bought anything had we gone inside. POINTLESS # 2.
So Tom decides to try a car chase tag scavenger hunt type thing.
We go to some bakery, hoping Robert & them don’t find us, but they do. We stand outside the bakery for quite a while, trying to figure out what to do because Robert and them say that this is boring, and that they don’t want to look for us or follow us again, because they didn’t enjoy it. And you know what? We did it again anyway. POINTLESS# 3.
It didn’t really make any sense that we didn’t get a headstart or anything, because they just followed us around town for like half an hour. POINTLESS #4.
We ended up going to Harris Teeter [why?!?!] because Tom said he wanted “boxes,” but then the cereal was too expensive so we just left. POINTLESS #5.
Then we’re like, what do we do now? We drive for soooo long, to where David lives and other places…and then we just go back to Vincent’s. & Vincent says “I don’t see why we didn’t just go here in the first place.” AND THEN YOU KNOW WHAT. I’m sitting downstairs listening to them talk about Tom and it sounds like they’re blaming him, and you know what they decide? Jansen says “Wanna go on an adventure?” And I ask “Where?” “An Adventure!” THEY DECIDE TO GO EAT AT IHOP.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
POINTLESS # 6.
But Tiff and I refuse to go to IHOP. While we try to decide on something, Robert decides to drive in circles around lamposts and all over the schoolgrounds of both Fairfax & Woodson High Schools. Wtf? POINTLESS # 7.
We eventually decided on Denny’s. I fall asleep in the car, and awaken to see we’ve arrived at Denny’s, and then Tiff says, “Never mind. Just drive.” And we leave Denny’s, after such a loooooong drive there for no reasonnn ;_; POINTLESS # 8.
I fall back alseep again. I awaken and it’s more than a hour later, and we’ve been driving for THAT long. So sad. We go back into Sam’s house, and we all crash on the couches.
I applaud us.
PS: Though it’s pathetic to admit, I kind of think this wouldn’t have frustrated me as much as it did if it weren’t for one thing. So, my friends- meaning Tom, Tiff, Sam, Tina, Robert, David and Vincent and etc.- who Tom calls “the crew,” meaning the people who he hangs out with…they go on “adventures,” which Samantha always tells me about, and they sound really fun- they go out driving to random places and do interesting things early in the morning [12-7 AMish], and then they all tell me stories about it. But I’ve never been on one. So we were all hoping to have an adventure last night/this morning, and I was feeling kind of excited that maybe I’d finally get to experience one, since I was the only one who never went with them…but then it didn’t work. I feel like it’s because of me. As I wrote in an earlier post, I feel like no one at this school really pays notice to me, or wants me around, except Calvin, when he was still here. But now he’s gone…
And I cannot wait to move.

yesterday = fail.
Most adventures are more fun than that one.
It was fun and interesting at first. But then we got tired~
We'll try again later.
I can sort of relate to how you feel about the "adventures". I feel like people over exaggerate the whole adventures things, because even myself, I get annoyed at some of the pointless things we do. But it's best to try to make the best of it. I always tell myself, "Well even though I want to sleep I'm awake now, so would I rather do something pointless by myself or with friends."
About the whole crew thing, when did we start calling it a "crew". I thought we were just a group of friends that enjoyed hanging out with each other. I feel like crew is just a label that is making people feel left out every day. Even I can honestly say that I feel like I'm not part of anything anymore, hence I've been rather lonely and can't wait to transfer schools.
I'm sorry I can't express how much I enjoy your company and want you around at Falls Church. I just never really get to express myself because I never really get to hang out with you.
Don't blame yourself for the failure of an adventure. It happens, we just have to get used to it.
"When life throws you lemons, throw them back"
I enjoy that silly quote. Don't let the small things get to you Anh-Vy. There's too little time left in this year for everyone to get so sensitive(I'm not pointing any fingers, this is based on what I've been reading lately). But we really need to make the most of what little time we have, and enjoy it to the fullest.
I think it's a lot to ask for but it can be easily accomplished if people can just grow up and learn to get along. I'm sure everyone else can agree.
Sorry for such a long comment ^^.
PS: You're poetry is very captivating.
