June 27, 1998

First, I'm sitting at home, it's my birthday. All of a sudden Terry, Brian, Melanie, Hope and those guys all show up to take me out for pizza and drinks. We go to this place on Colfax and park in the back, right up against the alley. For some reason it takes me awhile to get into the restaurant, and when I do finally arrive, the waitress asks me for my drink order. Jack & Coke I tell her. She asks for my ID. I explain that I didn't have it because I forgot to grab it in the commotion of the surprise. She doesn't get me the drink. When the pizza comes, someone else tries to cut it, but the mess up, so I take over. I notice that the pizza isn't done, so we send it back. I decide to call Dave. I call and this woman picks up and when I ask for Dave she asks me who's calling. I tell her and then wait. Finally he comes to the phone and I tell him where I am, what I'm doing and ask him to come out and meet me. He informs me that he's going to a concert with that woman, Kevin and Thad. I tell him it's my birthday, but he doesn't care. Then he drops the phone and I'm yelling his name with no answer. I hang up and I feel hurt and upset.
Next thing I know I'm at my dad's old apt with Alyssa and I try calling Dave again. Again the same woman answers, I tell her who it is and I can hear her start to hand Dave the phone, but he tells her to say that he's not there, to which she gives him grieve, telling him hat's a blatant lie and he should just be man enough to talk to me. I'm feeling so hurt and angry. I want to tell him that it's over, but I can't muster the guts to do it. I don't remember the conversation but I end up yelling his name into the phone to get his attention, that not working and me hanging up. After that I'm walking home along 17th Ave (running perpendicular to its actual course) and when I get on my block there is this couple behind me arguing. Right before we get to my house, I turn to the couple to ask them their opinion of my situation. Before I can really ask them my question, the woman takes off in her car and then the man starts to get all smart with me for running her off.
Next thing I know I'm in court for the two lovers. The verdict is that they can't separate because of third party intervention (me). Then there was this old book, with all these pictures of underwater animals and there's ancient scripture with wise sayings and I don't remember what they say.
