We saw our friends' band, Promythium, play at Jaxx last night, for a battle of the bands. No, they're not punk, but they're pretty damn good. I expect them to do well. They didn't win, surprisingly.
I'm going to mention a few people now to get them out of the way. Derek's new best friend, Brent, is the bass player for Promythium. He's pretty brilliant on bass. C– is back, bringing with him S– (for C–, go look on the cast page). I've mostly been talking to S–, and she's something else again. I'm trying to convince Dirk to let me visit them. That's all I can think of, offhand.
I'm feeling hopeful for the first time in years. My band has come up with some gorgeous songs that I'll let you hear if I ever get them recorded. Know a drummer? Want to refer him to us? Please do so.
Aaron actually drove up to Indiana to meet his online girlfriend. This is a first, because they usually come to their senses when confronted with the possibility of meeting him in person. She says they fucked twice, but Aaron told her they didn't, and we weren't to mention it to him at all. I'm a bit confused, and I'm worried that he might have hooked up with a freak. I mean, there were hints of it before he even visited her, like when she told him she had an IQ of 176(!). Nobody with an IQ that high would be bothering herself with him. Nor would she be spelling surprise s-o-r-p-i-z-e. She also uses the word ‘like' a little too often – it's the 80's all over again.
But that's fine, whatever. People who are actually willing to fuck Aaron without being paid are pitifully few and far between, despite his assertions that he sees women checking him out everywhere he goes. All I know is that he came back from Indiana with a bounce in his step and a gleam in his eye. Yuck.
I've been invited to join a coven. I'm ambivalent right now. I'm not very much into wicca, but I'm not against it either, and the person trying to start the coven up is a friend. My only worry is that the last time I became involved in anything like this, I completely broke the group up. That was on purpose, albeit haphazardly so. There's no reason to do so with this.
Since I'm picking up after a year of barely updating, I feel that it's time to finish the Krisco story (refer to the first entries, if it's too confusing). Right before last Xmas, Dirk's mom ran into Krisco at the local Wal-mart. Krisco told his mom that she was planning to drive down to (NC? GA?) where her boyfriend was stationed, and that he was probably going to propose to her. Dirk's mom warned Krisco of marrying so early (at 20), to which Krisco petulantly replied that she was ready for it. Krisco's mom finally sold their house (which was only a couple streets over from my parents' house), and we thought that was the last of Krisco.
However, Dirk began his career as a taxicab driver, and met up with Krisco's ex (the one she dated after Dirk), who admitted that Krisco made shit up specifically hoping it would get back to me and I'd leave Dirk. Proof positive that she really was a nutjob. As if that wasn't enough, however, her former best friend (the one she brought with her to Dirk's parents' house a couple years ago) now works at the ciggie shop Dirk frequents. She has stopped talking to Krisco for quite a number of reasons.
Anyway, the real story of Krisco's life after she completely left us alone goes like this: she was dating this guy named Sid, who was the best friend's room mate (we'll call the best friend Terry, for now). Anyway, Terry and Sid had been friends since elementary school, and they hung out together all the time. One night, they came back from eating out to find a suicide note from Krisco pushed under the door. This was the beginning of the end of Terry & Krisco's friendship.
Sid broke up with Krisco, and died in a car accident a few days later. Krisco & Terry hung out a lot to commiserate, and Krisco started dating some guy in the Marines. Well, according to Terry, she got on the guy's nerves real fast. She would pull the same shit with him that she did to Dirk, waiting for him at his house, constantly checking up on him. One night, she and the guy's brother were working together at the mall and the guy showed up and told them, "Look, I'm going to the movies, okay? Don't tell Krisco where I am, because she's driving me crazy! She's waiting at my house right now."
It turned out that Krisco was pressuring him to propose. Instead, he got transferred to Germany, told his friends and family not to give Krisco any contact information, changed his e-mail address, and left without telling her. Some people never learn.
After that, things just got worse between Krisco and Terry. Their only real bond was smoking pot, and Terry decided she just didn't want to do that any more. This occasioned a huge fight wherein Terry almost beat Krisco up, and that was the last she heard from Krisco. Krisco is a huge pothead now.
So, hopefully, that's the end of that chapter.
