i've been drinking a couple beers every night
last night for instance, i had three, while waiting for teresa to come home from applebee's.

she told her friend (and former love interest, BIRDFUCK [i didn't make up this nickname, her ex ex boyfriend evan did, and i just thought it was funny, especially because the kid had cancer) BIRDSEED (wait, birdseed is just as ridiculous. i already forgot his real name, but that's what everyone calls him. and he works at applebee's and well, i guess i'm a jerk to because i made haircut and chemo jokes) that i was coming to visit, and he got freaked out, thought she was crazy (i'm totally new and from california, how the fuck would she know me?) and forced her to have a drink with her last night after work to see what was going on.

so i was worried because that's obviously something strange,
but she had a beer and onion peels and sorta milked him for that which makes me happy.
we drank and played mario kart and i thought i had to let teresa win a couple but apparently they do not fuck around with their mario kart up there. even when i was trying my hardest, it was still not good enough. goddamn it!

i loved falling asleep reading to each other. last night we read this book called "ready for marriage" which was this terrible romance novel that had nothing to do with marriage. the funniest part about it was that her father gave it to her for christmas and even mentioned, well you know what, i'm just going to quote everything he wrote in it to let you know what kind of a man ken braun is.

"This is not about Marriage. Mom belonged to a Harlequin Romance boox club, she (i think it says soup or sarp or something here, i can't read it at all). Remember the book she gave to Val? This is the other one- likely FREE! (i love how he notes how it was free and that she was receiving it for christmas, what a thrifty man)"

at this point he quotes things from the book he thought was funny or outrageous

"Rediscovered love" - p.102
"I've missed you," he breathed against her temple .... (he put swirlies here that are sorta like ellipsises [plural is confusing], but they are more like smoke coming out of the end of the sentence)" - p.120

then he writes this

"He wasn't talking - his breath spoke" - Dad -

he made up his own quote. fuckiong genius

i really got off the phone with my mom just now, and her and my dad are so supportive of montreal, so supportive of my new life
it's gonna be so wonderful
i don't want to talk anymore of it, i just want to tell you all in person. i miss everyone goddam nit

this is the first time i feel like im happy to be going home
