take your wings outside

i remember when i purchased my first Alkaline Trio cd. it was freshman year. i lived in fluor towers and across the street was/is the university village. at that time there was a music store that was going out of business, so i went and bought lots of random shit. i had previously purchased a comp. cd that had alkaline trio's My Friend Peter song. so i found their s/t cd at this music store. i took it back to the dorm, listened, and fell in love.

at the end of my sophmore year, when i was practically kicked out of cardinal gardens by my roommates, i moved into stardust. i remember in the beginning when i still didn't know anyone, there was one guy who played alkaline trio really loudly from his room. i of course fell in love...or rather, into a very deep like w/this boy. i eventually talked to him and asked him about them...yes, he liked alkaline trio he told me. but that was it. i can see now what a goober i must've looked like to him. he thought he was so cool, one of those types that calls themselves an asshole. i just so happened to be one of those girls who liked assholes.

we all ended up being friends and pretty much partying together all year...god we partied sooo much. there were so many times when we'd be drinking and he'd put on alkaline trio and it would be him and me singing our little hearts out. me singing with him in mind, while he sang w/another girl in mind. isn't it always that way? yes.

in conclusion...there were many many good times w/alkaline trio, friends and beer. there was misery too, but lets not remember that.
