That’s funny.
I started reading A Long Way Down, one of my senior project books, which is about 4 people who meet each other on New Year’s Eve as they all are planning to commit suicide by jumping off a building, and I put on iTunes, because, why not? Was that even a sentence, seriously. Anyways, what song should come up other than Self Conclusion by The Spill Canvas, the first lines of which are “fade in, start the scene, enter beautiful girl, but things are not what they seem, as we stand at the edge of the world.”
Ironic! Or is it coincidental? I can never distinguish between the two.
The aforementioned need to leave has now been replaced by the need to smash someone’s head into a wall. That’s healthy.
I have a funny story. I’m sitting here, downloading the “David Gray’s Greatest Hits” for Paige, because she said she wanted it at Whole Foods, but is apparently a retard at the computer, and so now I’m laughing (ok that’s a lie, I’m slightly smiling) at what happened in Newspaper. So Nick and I finally scored a computer with speakers AND iTunes, I know, right, and so I brought a bunch of music (such as The Spill Gay-vas) and Nick brought some (with very provocative, yet melodic, opening lines, if I may say so myself) and now we have dulcet tunes streaming into our ears while writing an article about the search for a new softball coach. But Courtney likes my music better, sorry Nick. So I’m playing Babylon by David Gray, and Courtney loves it, so she puts it on repeat. Which is fine, I guess, but it gets kinda annoying after the 10th time. Nick is sitting on a different table studying for SAT’s and I’m lying down on that same table because my back is killing me, so that’s why the computer wasn’t being used, since I know that’s a vital part of the story. Ok so the bell rings and so I sit up and walk back over to our computer, and try to pause the song – it won’t pause. Like I literally can’t click into iTunes. So I’m a retard with Macs, so I call Nick over because maybe things don’t pause on Macs like they do on PC’s? So he tries. And it still won’t pause. So what can we do? We use the keyboard controls to mute the sound. Scene 2. Monday morning. Mahoney locked the door to the back room because he wanted to talk to us. After I start talking to Nick, I remember that we left that song on infinite loop. He says well, I guess we’ll see when we look at the play count. Blah blah blah. That’s Mahoney rambling. Scene 3, Back room. I look at the computer screen and iTunes is still up. I move the bar over to see … 1003 plays. Hahahaha. That my friends, is the definition of wasting energy.
Mahoney’s doodles make my day, honestly. That man is one of the most hilarious people I’ve ever met, whether it’s intentional or not.
It’s funny, because everywhere I turn, people are diving fearlessly into relationships, and I still can’t take off my scaredy-cat hat and join them. Insert 30 Rock quote about being lured to the edge of a pool with a puppy here. So I guess I’ll just keep looking for opportunities to hold your hand. And maybe you’ll get it. And maybe you won’t be as afraid as I am.

Remember back in elementary school, when they almost had us in those tents? Well, do you remember what I said to you? I said to you, I said: Woah there mister, why don't we just all take a second to make a name for it, and then we can get on with our journey.
