I woke up (late) and called the Verge to tell him that I was going to be late and to have a merry Christmas. I checked my messages, and Mandy had been through Terre Haute and wanted to stop and see me. I was asleep while she sat at McDonald's for an hour trying to reach me. I'm disappointed that I didn't get to go see her, but surprised and elated that she wanted to after I blew her off in lieu of my own extant self-imposed ostracism. Instead of going to work I called her cellphone and caught her about fifty miles west of St. Louis. We had a great conversation, but she started losing the signal and I told her that I'd call her this weekend. I'm looking forward to it. She is giving me more than I deserve.

I wandered around Terre Haute all morning, finished my Christmas shopping, fondled a few guitars at the Music Shoppe, composed offhanded conversation among shoppers and clerks, and took Alex to Burger King because he mentioned he was hungry. I dropped into Joe and Stacey's apartment for a few, and went home and hung the leftover decorative lights that they gave me.

I got an e-mail from Bread...he invited me over to his parents (my ex-step-aunt and uncle) for a Christmas gathering. That'll be nice. He wants to get together and play music too...I've given him the fever.

After work I'm going to Palestine to help my Grandad with his aluminum cans and take them to the recycling center, and then I'm going to chill with Falseye for the day.

all i amplify is a steaming little pile of roadkill... DT - road kill
...reminds me of a song I once wrote in high school with Falseye.

Upon re-reading that sentence, I realized how scathingly close I was to leaning a bit too far over the abyss of emo and falling in.

I hope you'd save me if that should ever happen...and please, keep it our secret.
