today was strange and amazing
i found out my favorite band, the taxpayers, were supposed to play a show at this "free folk festival" at overlook park. the bulletin said they were staring a two sharp, and when i didnt get out of the house by three thirty i was pretty sure id miss it. but i went anyway.
i got there and didnt see any of my friends or the taxpayers
i did however see Alyssa Eckert (my friend from high school)
she saw me and called my name
she has CHANGED
i remember her being this tiny little blonde girl with tight pants
now she has long brown dreadlocks (but who in portland doesn?) and like a zillion tattoos
we hung out and gossiped and reminisced
she had this female friend that was GORGEOUS. like... insanely pretty. i wanted to talk to her but really attractive people have this effect on me where i cant speak. and if i DO it comes out retarded and yoda ish. so i didnt
i saw Sam Kachel (aka high school sam)
i went over and said hi before i realized he was sitting with his friends parents. i got uncomfortable and walked back to the crowd.
alyssa wanted to say hi to emma perry so i went over with her.
jordi brooks (*puke*) was in that circle
i avoided looking at her until she walked away.
it made me extremely uncomfortable because i felt like Shanthi might be lurking in the mass. i HATE that i still feel uneasy if theres even a chance of him being there. fuck.
anyway.
sam came up and we bs'ed. we all ended up playing on the play structure and then playing cards. i was sitting on the sidewalk when this boy walked by in a yellow t shirt. i said hi without even really knowing why. he said hi back. i recognized his voice and told im he looked familiar, and did i know him. he said his name is nathan and asked me mine. i wanted to lie. i wanted to run home. NATHAN SIMMONS. FUCK. i thought he dissapeared. i said chelsea and he shrugged and walked off. sam and his friend asked me what that was all about. i said we used to go out two years ago.
uhhh other stuff happened?
then me and sam walked to taco bell
i absolutely adore him.
my weird crush aside, i just love being around him. hes witty and funny and i feel like i dont have to front at all.
it was a nice long walk
when we got back the po po was there. they were trying to shut down the event
it was really annoying because the taxpayers had just set up.
they entertained us with acoustic versions of "thunder road" and "youre the one i want"
i texted boy interest # 1 and told him to come down. when he got there he smelled quite fantastic.
taxpayers played a few more acoustic songs and then i say nathan simmons again and decided to talk to him
c: i figured it out
n: oh?
c: you're nathan simmons. we met at brainstains. we hung out at cathedral park
n: yeah thats right. you know, i knew it was you all along, i just didn't..
c: yeah... its cool. so youre still in portland?
n: im just here for a few days
c: rad... well uhhh... im going to go over here
n: okay. hey chelsea? im sorry i was an asshole to you that summer
c: *smile* thanks. i forgive you. bai!
when i got back to boy # 1 i was full of confidence. i proposed taking a walk. he was down. i showed him the lookout where you can see all of downtown. i swallowed my gum, anticipating a kiss. that "wow this view is amazing" trick ALWAYS works. but it didnt. we walked a little while more and he invited me to hang out tomorrow. grrrrr. this is moving painfully slow. but i said yes and we will and tra la la
then, through a strange series of events even IIIIII don't understand, i ended up in some ladys car with the taxpayers.they booked a last minute gig at a bar. rob invited me and boy #1 but he couldnt go so i went with them. it was soooo random. i helped set up and stood next to the stage and sang every word. it was WEIRD being the only one of the group that knew the taxpayers. i loved it. rob talked to me and knew my name and thanked me and <3<3<3<3 i know its stupid but i have the most insane lust for him.
then i waited for the 8 for a grip. then i waited for the 75 for a grip
then i got a slurpee
now im home
gooood times
