Kentucky

The first week I lived on sodas that were offered by clients until TC visited and made cupcakes which I ate as many as I could immediately despite disapproving looks from everyone. Joee and I slept out on the deck and covered all the windows with cardboard to keep it dark inside until we were forced to stop doing both by the complex. Phil bought an air mattress and we floated on it a few Sundays on the lake. Some days after meetings I would go for a swim in the complex pool. I tried to watch the Big Lebowski, but didn't enjoy most of it because I was worried that the language was offending Joee in her room. After everyone went to bed and jrd was on his way, I asked if he wasn't going to go midnight swimming, either. It was one of the few things I had ever said to him. He didn't object and we went towards his apartment. We laid on the sidewalk and talked for a half hour. He asked if he should get a swimsuit and I said nope. We climbed the fence and jrd stripped to his underwear and sat and talked for another half hour and I decided he wouldn't do it. Then he got up, went to the other side of the pool, dropped his underpants and jumped in. We took blankets and pillows and tried to sleep on the playground. The playground lights eventually pushed us inside we slept on a twin mattress in the living room. Once, an eternity later, after watching Love Actually, I enticed him into giving me an uncomfortable kiss. We caught fireflies and released them in our apartment. We went to see fireworks at the park for the Fourth of July. We were annoying couples in a pool with Phil and Joee. We went to Six Flags and rode the Superman ride a week before it chopped off a girl's feet. We went to Holiday World in Santa Clause, Indiana. jrd drove Phil's car really too fast. They had free sodas and some of the top rated roller coasters in the world. jrd went home for a week for a funeral and I didn't sleep the night before I picked him up from the airport because I knew he didn't like me anymore. I saw him at the airport and we gave each other an awkward hug and it wasn't until after he had been back for a while before we were convinced we still liked each other. We lived in a hotel for a few weeks without a fridge or microwave. I mostly ate amish bread from the amish cafe across the street. I fell asleep at Iroquois park. We played Bang, Mario Party and Rayman's Raving Rabids. We ate at Steak n' Shake. Joee made Sunday meals with homemade lemonade. I fought with Brady over the phone and email about me dating his best friend. There was a huge second hand store with the strangest things where I bought a china bowl for myself and a rolling pin for Joee. We broke into the other apx apartment and had cops called on us. I had trouble getting a security system to work and hid in a laundry room for 45 minutes waiting for Phil. I was offered terrible smelling white steaks by a lonely middle aged man in a scary neighborhood. I found a lot of strange things inside strangers' homes. jrd and I were given delicious macaroni and cheese and jrd had to stare at his while I ate mine and hope that maybe they wouldn't be offended. I got in a fight with Phil and Joee on our last day because I needed to leave take Andrew to a wedding. My tire went flat an hour on my way home. jrd and I got my car to walmart and tried to sleep in his car until we finally went back and slept in Bret's apartment to avoid facing Phil and Joee. After four hours of sleep, I drove 27 hours straight because Andrew couldn't drive stick shift.
