hello aaron digital shot (my first point and shoot i do believe), 2001? 2002? for fun i lurked the photos in my old photobucket and this little number came up. i once knew a boy named aaron, i gave him this typewriter i bought at the goodwill because at one point i had two typewriters (and now i have none). i met aaron via the barrie punk scene towards the end of high school. we traded mix tapes and i only recently discovered that the tape he gave me went missing at some point in history. i can’t remember the last time i had it. i realized this last week after reading about tom gabel of against me! because aaron was (is probably still) a massive against me! fan and is the reason i love that band. i built a zine with aaron once. he was lovely and inspiring and i wish i was better at staying in touch with people. i seriously hate myself for losing that mix tape. nostalgia is a punch in the face in the middle of the night.

i wish

i had saved all our ridiculous myspace conversations. there is so much for me to forget.

i want more of those nights, arms around each other watching bands. successes and failures. daydreams and crazy ideas. songs about nothing and songs about everything.

i will keep your voice in my heart forever.

i will recognize it anywhere.

today

on anderson cooper i learned that people who sleep less than 5 hours a night have a higher mortality rate.

good. that’s great news for me and my lack of sleeping. thanks anderson.

also, it’s important to note that i don’t normally watch anderson, it just happened to be on and they were talking about sleeping disorders so i watched it. has anyone else noticed that anderson likes to talk over and/or interrupt his guests a lot? what’s up with that.

is it possible

that the last time i saw you was the day you came over to listen to alexisonfire’s self titled album? that album was released in 2002 but it must have been 2003 by the time you wanted to hear it. was that the last time i saw you or is that just such a clear memory that i’ve decided it was the last time?

who knows. i can’t keep anything straight.

the better part of a decade later, my mind is packed full of partially remembered memories of you. no start and no end, just the middles of a bunch of stories i was told years ago.

this reunion is long overdue.
