where is the love

The whole way home I tried to think of something ANYTH --(ahh hahahaha ha! this is where I had to run from my room to make it to the bathroom in time to officially christen our new apartment). Yes, I puked up a whole double gin & tonic to the Porcelain God last night and thus, I am able to function at 8:30 this morning. I know I was in bed pretty much until 2PM yesterday but today I feel pretty good... or still drunk, ANYWAY I think that the title for this post and the line that starts it are just hilarious so I left them, but really this post has nothing to do with whatever was consuming my poor puking soul last night. Instead, I want to document these phone messages because I love them and they make me laugh.

It all started when I left this message for my dear Emily yesterday evening:
You whore.
I'm sitting here watching videos and that Coldplay song "Fix You" is playing.
This is the one that you ball your eyes out to when you're driving, right?
Yeah, well, I suddenly realized that it was your song... and that line:
"Tears stream down your face
when you lose something you cannot replace"
You bitch, I'm trying to put on make-up and the whole trying not to cry thing isn't making it any easier!
So yeah, just had to tell you that.
It's a beautiful song.
I love you.
Talk to you later.

This one message spurred the three messages I listened to in bed this morning, I do believe Em and I actually spoke once last night, but I honestly don't remember how that conversation went. Here they are:

12:33AM
(music blaring)
Steph, I love you.
I'm at a bar.. and I'm with tons of hot guys
and I don't even know how to like flirt
cuz I'm retarded
and I love you
and I, I listened to your message earlier and I love that you think about me
on, on a daily routine
you don't know how much that means to me
cuz like no one else calls me
to tell me that they love me or that they're thinking about me
and you called me today and I started crying
cuz I was like Oh my god, Steph, she thinks about me on a daily basis
and that Coldplay song is fucking awesome
if I listened to it right now I'd probably like cry
like it was... like I gave birth, honestly
but I love you
please call me back, I love you, I love you
mwa!

1:18AM
Hey you turned your phone off and I love you
but that's ok that you turned your phone off cuz way to be
cuz you don't have it on every second cuz that just means you're a follower
I love you for turning it off
cuz you are with the people you love you should turn it off
but I hope you're having fun call me back tonight or tomorrow
tonight, is like two something for me
but tomorrow, if you wanna call back at some other ah number you can feel free to
I don't even know what I'm talking about I'm talking gibberish!
I am so drunk it's unbelievable
Ok, but I know enough to call you and say I love you
so, and I got your message today about the Coldplay song
and yes if I listened to it right now I'd probably ball my eyes out
so I'm not going to listen to it right now
but it's a great song
I love you
Good night
Bye

2:07AM
(incoherent) What's up?
I have to be really quiet right now
Steph, I HEART YOU and so does Jen
Jen wants to say hi
(say you heart me)
I, I heart you and
I heart Emily
and I heart everyone here
this is Jen, you don't know me
but you're from Wisconsin
and can I tell you how cool that is?
cuz I heart cows!
like seriously, do you know how cool they are?
they give us SO much and we don't do anything for them!
like, they give us milk and yogurt and ice cream
and, and then like people do get that soy crap
and I'm just like why would you do that when
cows provide a perfectly good ice cream
(do you get the soy crap?)
I don't get the soy crap! Do you get the soy crap?
(NO, that's Deb)
I'm sorry I'm still talking to you!
Deb, our roommate, she gets soy crap, but she's not here so we can talk about her
anyway, I like her, don't get me wrong
um Ok no cuz we love Deb, we love Deb!
ok I'm gonna go McFuckel
is it McFuckel?
McFuckel, I hope you're doing good
Bye
(Can I have my drink?)
(My drink!)

It was so good to hear Emily drunk! I'm glad she's having fun and I'm glad she's meeting nice people who love cows. Those messages were priceless and I love having a cell phone to record them, however, I hate the fact that they are deleted after just two weeks! I tried before to save a sweet message Em left me when she was driving out to the east coast, just to have her voice to hear if I was missing her, but alas when it's two weeks were up, it vanished into thin air. Ah, nothing is as good as the real thing anyway -- thanks for the messages Em, I look forward to when the lights will guide you home.
