WEEK OF THE BANGS

It's been one week...one week since I've gotten BANGS. Is it a coincidence that this has been the most fun week of my life in a long long while? Me thinks not. Once you go bangarang you never go bangerback. That's DEFINITELY what she said, y'all.
Three of my very best best heart friends came to visit this week. It felt right to have the homies back together. I even cried out of sheer friendpreciation at one point while David was driving me back to my apartment. The conversation went a little something like this:

                                 DAVID
So, Mike says he wants to take us all out to dinner tomorrow night.

                                 ME
What?
                                 DAVID
He didn't tell you? Yeah, to a really nice steak house.

                                 ME
                        (crying)
What?

                                DAVID
Are you crying?

                                ME
Maybe...that's so nice. Oh man, that's SO NICE. Nobody ever takes care of me.

                                DAVID
Well, you're supposed to take care of yourself.

                                ME
I ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF MYSELF. It's just nice to be taken care of sometimes.

Okay, okay. That's pretty much exactly how that went. I get so emotional, babyyyy. I hope some of you can relate to my essential breakdown, though. I know a lot of people in this world that go it alone, fend for themselves, and make it work each day. I am not ashamed to say that it can get excruciatingly exhausting at points. You'll know you've reached this point when slumping over on the bus listening to your John Mayer pandora station and you don't even bother to change the song when "Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls comes on. YOU'RE JUST THAT TIRED. Fuck it.

I just had to step away after that paragraph to remember what my point was for writing this. I came up with the fact that I wasn't writing this for any particular reason, but then I thought of something...As much as one likes to be alone watching Weeds reruns, eating Lean Cuisines, and constantly questioning why finger picking on the guitar is so effing hard, it's also sometimes important to surround yourself with people who make you feel good. This week I reluctantly gave into the reality that "I get by with a little help from my friends"...BUT ONLY A LITTLE HELP 'cause you KNOW I got this life on lock down otherwise. I also have a fantastic new set of bangs.
