Not Your Average Jane

So Saturday was an interesting day… Friday night after I got off work, I came home and mom made you peel em shrimp. Then B picked me up and we went out over to Sean’s. He made steaks and baked potatoes and salad… Good God… Why do I get all this yummy food all in one night!?!? So I nibbled on a steak and we watched Jarhead… That was pretty good shizzle… I was convinced I recognized a couple of the other guys in it so I got on Sean’s computer and Yahoo ed the movie… Turns out I was right. Nice… Anyway so we started another movie and I fell asleep like half an hour into it… I woke up at like midnight and someone had thrown an afghan over me. The tv was still on but I heard the guys on the backporch so I meandered out there. We visited, they jammed and smoked. Theres a lot of laughs to be had with us. Especially when they have guitars… Oh my God, I had never heard so much insane stuff put into song as when I’m with them… Sometimes its making fun of me… Sometimes its about making fun of themselves or other people we know… There’s also a beer/pot song. “We like beer. And we like pot. Put em together and what have you got? A very happy lot.” Or something to that extent… The dorks… So yeah about 1 or so Sean went in to bed about B and I stayed up visiting til like 2 and then we crashed in Sean’s spare room. We woke up early Saturday morning and after an awkward moment, B took me home.
I ran into mom on my way to my own bed and she seemed to believe I’d gotten up for a snack. She was like I can’t believe I didn’t hear you… hehehe… Is it bad I’m 27 and still afraid of my mother? Anyway so I went back to bed for a few hours…
Woke up, lazed around, did some housework and got ready to go… Also got my tickets for Blue October on the 20th at a place called the Warehouse here in town… Whoo hoo!!!!!
I met Chelle at the Firehouse. Matt Burns was already playing when we got there. We wandered to the back and got crawfish and beer then we grabbed a table up front. So while we were peeling the crawfish, I made Chelle sick playing with em… I’m sooo evil I know… I did some heckling of course… Its Matt I had to… Then on one of my many trips to the back, I ran into Forrest and his family. That was kinda weird… But interesting… His brother’s kinda hot… Another trip to the back later in the later I ran into Nichols… Who licked my cheek and told me I should be drunk already… lol…
I ran into Matt a couple of times throughout the night and here’s sort of a pieced together version of that…. He wants to call me Alison instead of Ali…. His dad has cancer and is at MD Anderson. I also found out that he agrees with me that a certain band (who will remain nameless cuz I love em) is a great group of guys but the sound just isn’t there…. Hes only 23… but sooo adorable… He also told me any time I wanted to go to one of his shows, let him know and I could get in free…. How freaking cool is that? And we talked about a mutual friend blowing up like a balloon (I think I said something along the lines of he’d been hitting up GNC on a regular basis…). And I’m very proud of myself, I didn’t molest him the way I’d been threatening to…
I prolly should talk a lil about the music huh? Since that’s the reason everyone was there… That free beer, crawfish, the auction and to support a good cause. Matt Burns was playing when we got there. Then David Lee Kaiser came on… I wasn’t really impressed with him, but he did some good covers… And Wade RAWKED as always… I was kinda sad Matt P. didn’t go a song, but that’s becoming a rarer and rarer occurrence these days… Too bad, hes amazing… I didn’t stay for Gary P. Nunn, cuz I was decked. Before Wade came on though the auctioneer guy got up (and he should have done this BEFORE everyone started drinking and stuff, just my opinion) and he had trouble getting everyone’s attention. He kind of annoyed… And I’m hard to annoy… Then this lil old lady who had muscular dystrophy got up and talked for a bit. Everyone seemed to love her, and I think I said something about adopting her… She just reminded me of someone’s grandma ya know… Like she knew how to get your attention if she had to, but at the same time she’d make cookies for you after school or whatever too…
So yeah somehow during the course of the night I was checking the weather on my cell (that seems to be a habit now) and a guy that had been hanging out with his group of friends came over and introduced himself as TJ and his group of friends kinda migrated over and hung out with Chelle and I. There was Critter (from San Antonio via Boston). TJ the one from Kansas who had initially come over… Ryan and Joe the married ones… With awesome wives whose names I’ve forgotten.... Heath and Jason the hot ones… I think they both had girlfriends that weren’t there though…. Too damn bad they were both hotties…. They kept telling me I must be some sort of big deal cuz I seem to know who just about everyone was…. Not just in the bands but random people at the bar…. I told em the firehouse is like my 2nd home… and it is…. Ryan Turners there next Saturday…. :0) I was also telling Critter all about Harley Dean and Matt and Norm… And all the awesome places all around SA to go see live music… At one point in time I think I may have rewritten part of the red dirt music movement… Then I had an argument with TJ about the Great Divide… We were arguing over whether or not they had found a new singer after Mike McClure went to solo and stayed together or once he left, the whole band fell apart…. I’m not sure who won… (I found out later that the and did in fact continue with a new lead singer, go me…) I pimped galley a bit since the whole group seemed to be into Texas music… I hung out with that group for the most part after Richelle left… Ran into some people from Galley and I think I drunk dialed elise during Wade. And I think Jenn called me from Blue October… I know it was a Missouri number and I don’t have her new number programmed into my phone yet. But I couldn’t really hear it cuz I was listening to Wade and it was really static-y. I left about 11, before Gary P came on. I think Richelle learned something new (shocking I know) about me… I’ve said how many times now I don’t do one night stands or non committal sex in general but I think last night she finally got the point I don’t… And she called me a priss… I prefer to call it better safe than sorry and maybe a bit picky. Besides theres not a damn thing wrong with not having sex without there being some sort of feeling there…
On the way home I had a revelation… There was an M cubed at the Firehouse last night. There was Matt Burns. Matt Miller. And last but certainly not least, Matt Powell. I started laughing like a maniac… And then I started coughing… Then I called Sean to share the news… And I found out I lost my voice… I could talk but I ended up squeaking a lot… Pretty funny stuff…
So I got home, crashed and then I woke up about 10 this morning… I haven’t really done anything productive. But I did discover I was being ultra quiet for now reason when I came in last night. Mom wasn’t here and still isn’t… Ah well.
I think its time to get something to eat now… Laters.
