last night, i had two cans of pabst blue ribbon and fell asleep on my couch watching good will hunting on tnt. great movie? yes, absolutely. probably in my top five. but on tnt? not so great… commercials, for one thing, ruin it, and worst of all: no swearing. good will hunting is all about the swearing. i remember it being so controversial at the time because of all the times they say fuck. i think i saw it in theatres. it made me think. about what, i can’t really put my finger on it. i guess about relationships, and about intelligence and friendship and pressure. i don’t know. i do know that any shot of matt damon shirtless in that movie is fine by me.
my friend ashley is staying with me right now. she was living with her parents, but there was some issue there. they got into a fight and she was kicked out of her house. so i told her to come stay with me. i could not imagine my mother saying to me the things that her mother has said to her. it’s really ridiculous. now her mom is trying to get back into her life. and it’s really not happening. good for ashley.
anyway, one of cole’s requirements when she moved in was that no one sleep on the couch. so ash and i share a bed. i told that to paul yesterday, and he was like, HOT! no, no, it’s not as hot as you think. i mean, us girls are, sure, but there’s no touching, no cuddling. just two gals in a big bed. but somehow, i’ve ended up falling asleep on the couch several times since we started sharing a bed. oh well. i need to remember that if i’m tired, i should be in my bed. not on the couch. in my room, not the living room.
this has been a really weird summer. yesterday, i was supposed to go see the gin blossoms, but it rained, and it ended up being cooler than expected. around 6:30, it was about 67 degrees. where are the 80s? i mean, i don’t want sweltering, but 67 just won’t cut it for mid-end of july. seriouslah. and in may, there was the whole s-word in the forecast.
my friends discussing a topic on many people’s minds:
amanda: why do we live here?
megan: because our parents made us here and we’re too poor to move.
that’s not really all true. buffalo is a great place to live. i love it here. but sometimes the weather leaves something to be desired. is that completely insensitive considering the fact that people are currently evacuating because of a hurricane in texas? hmm…
so instead of gin blossoms, i went to dinner with amanda (at gramma mora’s, a cute lil’ mexican restaurant around the corner). then i came home and watched so you think you can dance. then did the pbr and good will hunting thing. i’m up far too early for my own good and that’s making me hungry. i’m going back to bed otherwise, i will need food.
more to come…
i love ellipses…
