Pneity

Been a while. On a normal night, or as I expected it to be a normal night, I was going to kick back and get more sleep, because I love sleep. Instead, Chad said he had some work to do in Pittsburgh and wanted to come see me tonight. So I agreed, as it could be pretty effing fun. Nobody could get ahold of Focks today, despite both Chad and Nick trying. I didn't suspect much from that. Anyway, I got sent home an hour early from work today due to me not getting the chance to go to lunch. I sat around and napped, watched Youtube while waiting for Chad to show up. And show up he did. Around 6:30, he knocked and said he had a surprise for me. I began to walk out into the hallway, and sure enough, there was quite a surprise. Matt, Nicole, Joey, and Molly were there to greet me with Chad. They had decided, as I had jokingly mentioned on our Facebook thread, to go LaserTagging here up north. So we did. Nobody got ahold of Focks, so she was left out tonight. We went on, played four rounds of Laser Tag, climbed a conveyor rock wall in the lobby area, and generally had a wonderful time. Cory came along too! I normally hate mixing different groups of friends, but the setting made it work, because Cory enjoyed laser tag more than I expected. We ended up doing pretty well, too. Once we got back, I was greeted with some AIM messages from Focks that kind of hurt my feelings. But I tried to swallow that and laugh with the group as we watched goofy crap on Youtube. After we had our share of goofiness, we parted ways, then they hit the road. Me and Focks started talking at that point. Hard times were shared between us, and for the first time ever, I feel that there's something more in the world she wants than she can handle. She wants her future so bad, and it's exactly like I used to want mine. There are no feelings more destructive than that, but I can't fault her for it, because I know exactly what it's like. Mostly, on a selfish level, I'm upset that a night so wonderful was missing who I love the most, and when I get back, she kinds of kills the joy of the evening by smashing it into bits with reality. Oh, and my old job is hounding me about finishing my website project. Fuck. That. Noise.
