The funny thing about the past is that you’ve got no say…
-Kiernan McMullan
Weird crazy ftw!
Towards the beginning, I was in a library-sort of location. It’s a college scene, so there are students around with books and other computers. I’m sitting at a computer and I’m doing some illegal business, hacking some programs and sending files. Things were going well up until someone hinted to the police or librarian that there was some funny business, and I was rushing to type in the URL correct to send. I kept messing up, and there was this Chinese guy watching me, seeing if I could make it. Telling me to just back out and change the screen. He told me to open up the file program on the desktop. I hit the wrong one, but then I do click on the right one. The first one was the webcam app, and that opens up as the librarian walks over and I’m sitting there looking at myself in the screen asking why the light is green. Phew. Not caught 🙂 I played with that for a while.
Next scene, we were leaving the computer, but we were at a concert with stadium seating. We were towards the top, and there was a giant screen in the center of it all. I don’t remember what the event was, but we were all hanging out up there. Then at one point, the show was over, and it was changing sets or something, but the one side of the stadium’s seating changed the seats. They were kinda comfier looking, but whatever. We walk out and everyone’s leaving, but there are small groups of people and bands around.
Hanging out outside the stadium in the lobby, Josh Tarrington comes up to me and he wants to know if he looks better with or without glasses. I answer without and walk away. I didn’t want any more contact with him. He had his black hair again and some friend with him just dyed his hair black too.
Walking away, I find Kiernan McMullan.I start talking to him and being all friendly, but then he has to go to the bathroom. The location turns into this dance and we’re all going like some cheap prom. I remember the entire crowd was dancing and leaning together, so we’re all pretty close. Kelsie Biehn and Kelsey LaBar were there, and other girls tthat you may find amongst them.
Then once that braks apart, there’s a slow dance or something with partners, and I’m looking around, there’s one guy I see and he’s got no one, really, so I start walking over there. But Once I get to him, I see Austin standing off to the side by himself, he’s kinda signaling for me to come over, but then some girl (a Rebecca Manton like chick) grabs him instead. He didn’t want anything to do with her, so I look at the guy I was gonna go with and we get Manton over to him and then I’m hanging out with Austin. We’re dancing, and then at some point I have him pinned to the ground, my foofy dress all over him, and I look up to see Kiernan coming out of the bathroom. I call his name, and he looks over, only to see me on top of Austin. Awkward. I’m like, “It’s not what it looks like,” and I get up off him and walk over to him.
We start talking again; I’m straightforward with him and ask, “Why are you going to be in Erie a week before Rookie and Crash? Why aren’t you playing with them?” He pretty much told me that they were becoming corporate sell outs 🙁 He’d know better than I would, but I didn’t want to hear it. We keep talking and he’s eating some chips, whatever. I had 2 questions I wanted to ask, but this one might have happened before he went to the bathroom, actually. I asked if he’s gonna have new material at the next show. He apologized and said he wasn’t going to, but I didn’t mind. I told him that I just wanted to know because at least I’ll be familiar with his stuff, unlike than when I went to see LFO. He laughed when I told him that I probably know more of his stuff than LFO. The scene changed to my basement at some point. He’s sitting in the giant massage chair and I’m on the floor. He’s got some pack of mints that he was eating. Then we heard people upstairs. My mom’s guests hadn’t left yet (even at 4am) but then she calls me up. I had to walk the dog.
I walk her but she drags me all around town. By the time I get back, Kiernan is gone, and all that’s left is an empty Marlboro Menthol box and the box of mints on the chair. My brother said he had to get going and so he gave him a ride. I wanted to be there to say goodbye, but I guess that didn’t work.
I kinda almost wish Kiernan would hang out with me. I wanna be friends 😛 I can’t imagine him smoking though. But I don’t know if he does- a lot of people do, surprisingly.
