Shikamaru: Holy shit, man!! Who would've thought you would actually come back one of these days???
Renji: I knew Chris wouldn't let me down!! You owe me $10, Choji!!
Choji: What?! Ah, man, that's right, fine, here!!
Renji: Heh heh!! All right!!!
Guys, Guys, relax!! You actually
bet on my return???
Renji: Well, yeah!! You think I seriously thought you would leave this place forever??? Like these guys??
Well, yes, considering the time I've been gone for....Of course, I would never leave this place.....This place was a life-changer. After finally finding the time and coming back here, I've realized how important this place is to me. The people I've met here, the advice I've been given, the experiences I've read about & learned from.......All were so important to me. Now, I'll return the favor by telling you guys that I've returned, both to tell my life story, and to be able to help others and once again become their friend....
Lee: *sniffle* That was soooo touching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guy: Yes, Chris!!!!!!! That was, extraordinarily emotional!!!! Especially considering that you're not even all that emo anymore!!!! Ha, ever since you-
Hey, Guy!!! Hold on there!! I'll get to that in a bit!!! but I'm sure people remember that I used to be emo (Hair and all lol), but I got that cut, although I plan on growing it back, for the sake of the fact that it looked good on me!
Naruto: Haha, old habits die hard, right?? Kinda like my, er, well.....recklessness???
Sasuke: Don't forget stupidity.
Naruto: AHHHHHH, Sasuke!!!
Sasuke: Quit your whining, loser!!! Chris finally came back, how about we let him talk? He's been through a whole damn lot since, and once he gets back up to this date in life, he can record things based by daily, pretty much.
Thanks man!! Besides, The entries I keep here are pretty much a place where I can write down my memories........A few days ago, I was looking back at some older posts I made........I cant believe a lot of the things I suddenly remembered....But, I need to update you guys!! Anyone who actually chose to stick with me!!! So, well, the last two posts I made, which started to explain my life-changing experience, can be found and read right over here:
Part One: New Friends...??
Part Two: An Offer I Couldn't Refuse
Now, from where I left off, but first, a correction from Part Two; At the end of the day, while we were all waiting outside the mall (Garden State Plaza, for anyone who lives in Jersey and is familiar with it), Me, Lisa, Mike, Amy, Kacy, Sage, and Cheski were approached by this kid, he seemed older than me, and he was smoking, much like all the other people standing outside, hence WHY they were standing outside. He asked if any of us had a lighter for him, none of us did, so he walked away. we didn't mind him at all, but then he came back. He noticed something about ME.
"Whoa!! Love the wristband! You like BLEACH too??? That's freakin' awesome!!!" is pretty much what he said! He noticed that I was wearing a black wristband on my right had, with the blue flaming skull symbol form BLEACH. On my left wrist, was a white wristband with the Blood Seal from FMA. So he stayed and we all talked for a little bit. He introduced himself, his name was Alex. Despite looking older than me, he was actually my age. He lived in Teaneck, and apparently has his own band, The Muffins. Amy especially seemed to like him, remarking out loud that he was cute (He had fairly long, healthy-looking black hair, brown skin, and Asian-esque eyes. He revealed himself to be a Spanish and Filipino mix). He heard her, remarking that she was attractive as well. Obviously, something pretty interesting just sparked here. So, he gave us his Myspace URL, which was pretty much "Rawrrrrrrrrr, I'm A Tiger". he wrote it down for us, and Amy kept it. After that, Amy's mom came to pick us up. When we were at Mike's house that night, we tried finding him, but Amy left that paper at her house. We spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out how many R's were in his Rawr (there were nine), we tried from 3 to 8, only to finally call and find out it was 9(so close!!!! lol). Mike, Amy & Lisa took turns adding him. I added him, like, a few days later, or something. Then, we all left Mike's house and went home. I went home, with a Hot Topic bag in my hand, inside, a white & red horizontal-striped polo shirt. Kacy bought the same thing, and we decided that the Monday we came back to school, we would both wear it that day, to match!
I went home, remembering the entire day. I still remember the entire day, for the record. I remembered everyone I met that day at that moment- Amy, Kacy, Cheski, Sage...........
Lisa. They were all cool, but.........Something was different about Lisa. Something.........really nice. I already had a current(ly hopeless) crush, but.......at that moment.......I gave that up.
I checked my Myspace, and got a comment. From Lisa, it said that she thought I was so awesome, I was added to her Top Friends list. ................Well, it's a start!
Now, Let's get on with the rest of the story!!
Part Three: Marc and Alyssa
You might be wondering who these two are, and what significance they play in my life as of this point. Well, a few days later, I told Mike that I had a crush on Lisa. Mike kinda looked dismayed, so I asked what was wrong. He replied "Dude, I didn't tell you this, and I guess she didn’t either, but...... she has a boyfriend".
That killed me. 2 crushes. Only 2 crushes I've had before this one. Both were hopeless, and with preppy chicks. Lisa was incredible because she was different than any other girl I've ever met. And, well............yeah, I dealt with it. I just decided to try to focus on finding someone else.
We were back in school. Winter vacation was over, and I was still going through some hard times, dealing with my mom's situation. She was getting better, yeah, but she then had a major surgery coming up, which involved removing 3 vertebrae in her spine. A very serious surgery, and the fact that she would remain in the hospital would be very hard for us.....especially since she would still be there even on her own birthday, March 4. but the surgery took place on a Friday before that, the week after that day. That exact date would be March 2. Now, I was supposed to come home from school on time, or by 5:30. I went to Lisa's house for the first time that day, after school. but, I'm forgetting something again, something that happened earlier that week.
Lisa let me meet a friend of hers, a really close friend named Alyssa. She's a grade higher than me, but only 3 months older than me. I actually met her back in November, when Mike introduced me. but now I was actually friends with her now. Well, after school, like I said, I went over to Lisa's house for the first time, with Alyssa and Amy. Now, as a guy, I can take things the wrong way. Especially when Alyssa began to act flirty with me- REALLY flirty with me. Now don’t get the wrong idea, she's no whore or anything. It's just her personality. However, it can apparently cause problems in some cases. We went to Lisa's house, where we hung out and stuff. It was a really nice house too! Then someone else came over. His name was Marc...........Lisa's boyfriend. Now, let me fill you in on ages- I'm 16, so is Alyssa. Amy is 15, and Lisa, at the time, was 14. Marc was 19. ........I thought it was a little big of an age difference, but i didnt wanna say anything, i was trying to get over her. I got to know Marc a little better, and he was actually a really cool guy! he was pretty funny, and it turns out that he knew who i was, because the year before, when i was in 9th grade, he was a senior (Yeah, He's a college freshman, Lisa is a high school freshman, along with Amy.) He knew me from Gym class the year before, and i told him that I knew I had seen him before. Now, I mentioned that I was supposed to be home by 5:30, well...........pretty soon, that time came, but i never left. Some of Lisa's relatives came over, one of which was this little kid named Eddie.......according to Lisa, he was a TERROR. At first, as i got to know him, he didnt seem so bad. He was about 8. He was a good kid at first, and i told Lisa & Alyssa that they were overreacting. A little while later, though,......my opinion of the kid totally changed. He really WAS a terror!!! I could barely deal with him! But somehow, I managed. Lisa even complimented me on how well I dealt with him. She said that she has never dealt with him as well as I did, and on my first try to boot!!
Amy left to go home, I was still there. Alyssa eventually left, I was still there. Even Marc eventually went home, and I was still there. Lisa and I were pretty much just hanging out, just doing stuff on the computer. Midnight came, I was still there. I should also note that Lisa and I live practically on opposite sides of our town. Now, at this point, I decided that it might have been a good idea to go home, so her dad gave me a ride home. The plan was to go to the movies the next day to go see “Norbit” (That Eddie Murphy movie). But when I got home, I came to a surprise…….
My uncle was home, not my dad. My dad was apparently at the hospital, where my mom was, and my uncle was at my house, where………I was supposed to be. I was supposed to watch my brother while my dad was gone, but it turns out I didn’t come home when I was supposed to. My uncle was pretty mad at me, as was my dad when he came home. Thus, I wasn’t able to go to the movies the next day.
Well, if I want to make a long story short, due to the fact that it’s now 2008, I’m already a junior in high school, and this was almost a whole year ago, I’m just gonna get to some key points…….eventually I will share some other major moments with you, but here’s the scoop-
-I eventually got over Alyssa. After a while of her not returning my feelings, I decided to move on. To this day, we are the best of friends. She doesn’t have a caring father, & her stepmom is practically Cinderella calibur. She actually thinks of me as a father-figure to her, and claims I’ll be a really good father when I become one
Jiraiya: Uhh, don’t you need to hook up with someone in order to get married and have kids??? Haha you know I’m just busting your balls here, right???
Well someone might just have their balls busted in a moment if he doesn’t let me finish my summary
Jiraiya: Uhhh………never mind then!
Now, where was I…..oh yeah!!
-I developed another crush…….on an old friend…………..I wanted Lisa…….I needed her……
-I went to my first concert! My very first concert!! It’s a rock festival called Bamboozle, it happens once a year in May, in New Jersey. For an entire weekend, Saturday & Sunday, over 120 bands perform over the course of 2 days!! I went on Saturday, May 5 and saw MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!!!!!!! Along with Boys Like Girls, Paramore, Cute Is What We Aim For, Silverstein, Hellogoodbye, New Found Glory, and many other bands!! 3-count ‘em-
3 mosh pits. My first 3 mosh pits, were fucking awesome!!! The first one (Silverstein-
Your Sword vs. My Dagger), my lip got punched and started bleeding a bit. The second one (New Found Glory-
My Friends Over You), I got headbutted in my left cheek. The third one (Hellogoodbye-
Here in Your Arms), everyone was jumping, and they crushed my right big toe nail, which healed over time. Um, Lisa was also at the concert, with Marc, her boyfriend………I was a fool…..Even though it hurt me so much to see them together, I wanted to hang with them still…..as a good friend………just that alone made the day pretty crappy…..although it was still awesome.
-Within that month of May……..Lisa & Marc began developing some problems & issues that couldn’t be resolved……they took a break, then eventually broke up…….My other friends began to bug Lisa about another topic though……whether she had feelings for me, or not…..it didn’t really affect how friendly I was towards her (well maybe I sometimes was a little “too” friendly to her sometimes lol…
-Then…….on June 8, 2007, a Friday…….something amazing happened……..
Renji: ….that’s to be continued another day!! Hopefully not next YEAR!!! Now, where’s Choji with my $10??
Choji: For the last time, I am NOT paying you anything!!!
Renji: We made a bet!!! Now pay!!!
……I’ll have to settle this one myself……well, you know what??? I’ll say these now- Happy late Thanksgiving, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!!! And another thing- IT’S GREAT TO BE BACK!!!
From here on, I will get this thing back on track, and keep you guys updated from now on!!
