boring entry

cultureclash

I was in a car last night with people who only owned their own heart.

All in all i can only describe it as "a way" to spend Valentines Day. that is all. It was somewhat fitting spending it with those three as the texta on my arm read DIE COUPLES DIE

I had nothing to do so I traveled an hour to see my cousins and their friend.

I always regret doing so because they make me realise that I have been on the wrong track the last couple of years.

While the highlight of the night was sitting in on a homage to “honey”{ERGH!} and “save the last dance”{ERGH!}, the rest of the hours of last night were spent drag racing, watching them skip meals with cigarettes and discussing how much hair they have lost because they are malnourished, watching them re arranging plush toys in cars and bedrooms, receiving fake nail tips, listening to plans about egging people and laughing at part time vegetarians ordering the usual- “steak”.

It was around the time I saw bottles and cartons fly out the window that I cracked.

I was in the back seat and I turned to see the expression on my cousins face. She was oblivious. So I leaned forward to the girl who had mistaken the environment for a garbage bin and yelled over Brittney Spears that she was a fucking pig.

All occupants of the car glared at me and said “so what?”

Luckily we were streets away from their house and my escape vehicle. They were going to spend 30mins changing into a new outfit then head off to the city.

I was invited and glad that I was wearing incorrect footwear as I used that as my excuse and then slipped off quietly into the night.

Don’t worry. The story does not end here. In six months I will feel the need to return to a shallow and reckless state of mind- much like the kind that is on re run in their lives.

fav quotes of the night

"Can you get that in a "lite" variety?"

"Do u want something to eat? Oh, I've only got water in the fridge"

"I know!!!I forget to eat breakfast and lunch too!!!"

"Kate, this is our cousin Alana. she is a bit weird like she jumps out of the car at traffic lights and rips stickers off the sign posts"

Alana-"whoa, that guy is hot"
Kate-"which one?"
Alana-"the guy with the shaggy hair"
Kate-(shakes head) "god, i was afraid you were going to say him."

Alana's highlights
getting Kate to dance and make out with the detachable part of the front passengers seat; getting followed from irate drivers when taking their photo along side them at the stop lights.
