Six-foot-tall redhead, and we liked the same music, and it just was off to the races from there. How did your mom convince her, do you know? I don't. I don't know. I was so drunk during that time period. This is like probably middle of 2001. But of course, since that fucked me up, it just gave me another excuse to drink. Did you go with her?

I guess I did go with her. My mom came, too. Because I remember being in the parking lot. I didn't go inside. My mom went inside with her. My mom went inside with her. And I just went back.
