after all that depression, something to make you laugh:

one time, when i was younger, i rode my bike all the way across town just to apologize to these two girls (i was ten or so at the time) for something i had said earlier in the day. the parents of these (twins, as it turned out; one of them dated my best friend 'kevin' at the time) girls called MY parents who promptly called me when i got home to scold the hell outta me. this was during the time where my loneliness started to manifest, where the lights were my friends and the peanut butter was my companion.
