Today I am doing nothing. I rolled out of bed, and made it only to the couch across the room. I intend to remian in my pajamas until I shower this evening, and afterwards, I intend to put on more pajamas. Anyways, these mass amounts of time spent doing nothing have allowed me to think. So, I've been thinking. And these cold days have got me down. And I thought about summer. And there are so many things I miss. Though anyone reading this may not care, I will list them, for my own benefit:
Staying up really late with Anna in Oshkosh imitating Mr. Nosel and discussing very gross anatomical..things.. Matching beads. Making jewelry down by the lake. Driving around listening to Bob Dylan. Going to Madison just because we had nothing better to do. Singing songs at the top of our lungs on the way to Madison. The hangout. The treacherous path. Shadow puppet shows on the shed at Pets. Bonfires. "Playing" softball for Ben when I have never played outside of gym class in my life. Steel Reserve. Playing circle of death with all of my best buddies. Running. Cookouts. Not brushing my hair. Or washing it for that matter. Getting slushies after cross country practice. Ben's front porch. Sneaking out of my window. Playing guitar and going to Super China Buffet late at night. Not knowing what meat is. Making Ben make us omelets. Ultimate Frisbee. Being barefoot. Disc Golf. Playing with Ben's kitty. Going out to breakfast with Aly. (oh wait, we still do that almost every weekend) Building forts in her basement and laughing till the wee hours of the morning. Pier jumping. The magic bag. Summerfest. Wasting time, but not really wasting it at all. Watching Family Guy almost every day. Going to the park with Ben and swinging in the rain. Ren Faire. Driving Ben's car and singing Dashboard obnoxiously loud. Dancing to Hello Good-bye. Anna going apeshit over a pizza. Leanin' and a peein'. Watching movies in my basement. The Best Day Ever. Dance party at Simo's. Skinny dipping late at night. The Drive-in. Making up handshakes with Matt. Miraz. Randomly attending a Reel Big Fish concert. (The Second Best Day Ever) Eating a ton of greasy food at Scott's and wanting to puke at afternoon cross practice. Riding bikes. Going down by the lake late at night because it was warm enough to do so. Being super obnoxious with Scott at Miraz. Then walking home from Miraz at 2 in the morning. Crying really hard to Ben for who knows what reason. Coming to the conclusion that we should share everything.
"The summer swells in us
with the heat comes a new kind of wanting
Cool nights never cooled us off
Lay around, wait for something to happen.
Afternoon drags on and on
Movie nights that never end
We can hang out all night long
lay in bed and talk to a good friend
'Cause we only get older
and we'll probably forget what it's like
Step out on a moonlit roof
the radio leads a feel good revolution
Cigarettes and my closest friends
Tell myself that I have to remember this,
Remember this"
I could never forget.
Hold on little girl
