Kidney Stones and Social Distortion

I know I haven't posted in a long while. Trust me, I've looked at this page every day and wondered what the hell should I say? Then I ended up not saying anything at all. But today I finally mustered up enough boredom to actually write something.


Andy's been bed-ridden for the past three days with a painful case of kidney stones. Which means lots of worry and distress for me. I've been forced to go to school, without him, and it's certainly been an enlightening experience. More importantly, he should pass them within' the next couple days. In the meantime he has to drink enough water to drown a horse and just keep peeing. But that's not a subject anyone really wants too hear too much about, when it's not painful it's a little gross.


So today and Monday I've been at school all on my lonesome. Well sure there's Alex and Pedro, but I only see them for about an hour then it's more waiting, then more boring class. My life drudges by, slow as molasses. As I sat in a mostly empty cafeteria, I watched and listened, and felt increasingly more lonely by the second. A group of students at the table beside me spoke awfully loud about their classes and how much they hated and loved certain teachers of theirs. Across the room, I watched a table of boys with long hair and t-shirts playing a game of Magic: The Gathering on the dirty cafeteria table. And another table had a gathering of adults, possibly teachers, all sipping their coffee and chuckling. I, a lonely in-betweener, with no group, much less a single friend to converse with, sat in the back corner and ate my Subway sandwich in silence. In conclusion, I need more friends.
