February 23, 2003 || 10:32 pmHow do you sum up a weird night?
With seven bottles of beer and two dextrose doses on a relatively empty stomach. How you floundered like a gutted fish for a worthwhile conversation. The breezy night chilling more than the bones. Discovering you never wanted to dance. No, you used to. That you don't ever want to again. Ever. Well, not with that kind of scene.
How you learned concessions and never left high school. Really. Because you've never had high school. Fun is bought by loosening up. Way past caring and sliding. And sitting in probably the same chair, ribbing a friend, slipping glances to the girl in white, that girl in white, and chuckle.
Then the weight of everything knocks you down. You look for the exit and starts a teasing talk with someone far away. Because it's easy. Because it's safe. Then blacking out is the simplest thing to do.
And when you wake up. It isn't the splitting head. Rather the emptiness. You would have gladly wanted a hangover. You would have taken an aspirin. Instead, you turn to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
It was that weird. And that particular. You will forget the night, in time.
