Last night was Joe's fancy party. I wore the white dress and looked pretty, with my hair all curled and fancy-like, AND I made cookies. Chocolate with chocolate chunks and chocolate chips. I wanted to put peanut butter, too, but Joe's allergic. So.
When Ry and I got there, no one else was around, and we hung around in the front yard. Brad and Madison got there, then....and soon, it was all couples - Joe and Kelora, Brad and Madison, Becca and Mike....and then me, and Ryan, which made things weird. But I guess we're used tothat by now, so we all hung out and I was really quiet and shy...but then everyone went upstairs, where all the band equipment is, and the guys started jamming. Kelora and Madison went downstairs soon - Brad was still down there - and it was just Becca and I, watching Mike and Ryan with their guitars, and Joe on drums.
They were really good. They were just jamming, no big deal...but it was cool. I liked being there a lot, with the loud noise, and all three guys enjoying themselves SO MUCH, and this awesome music coming out of people I know. They would see if they could turn one song into another, and there was just this awesome feeling of challenging one another, seeing how far they could get....I know that feeling, I know how good it feels to see how long or well I can write, how long of a stretch I can go before I look up, how in the zone I can get. And it was so cool, to see someone else in that place, joy evident on their faces.
Joe went downstairs, and eventually Becca did too. the three of us hung out, with Mike and Ryan taking turns doing drums, until Jess came up and got me, and then we chilled for a while. I fit in there, and it was weird becasue I thought I'd be uncomfortable. Once it wasn't all couples, I didn't feel like such an intruder, though, and I loosened up...I had a really, really good time. Which is good, because this week is going to suck, and this weekend is mother's day which means it will super suck, and I dunno....I'm just glad I had one good night, before all the stress sets in.
