As I’m walking to bed, the phone rings. It’s Meghan, Jim, Matt and Juliet – they’re all at the Foxes. It’s midnight, and they’re all drunk. Out of nowhere, as the phone gets passed around, they all get the bright idea to go to different rooms. Within seconds, they’re all talking to me, to each other, all of them in separate rooms, all of them on separate phones.
All of them drunk. :)
I tried recording the conversation through my answering machine, but all I got was my voice and my end of things. So, shortly after I figured out the recording didn’t take, I decided to boot up the computer and document a few pithy quotations. Here goes:
"When my drunk asshole friends call, I don’t talk to them this long." (Matt)
"My drink’s empty." (Juliet)
"I think Matt’s coming up the stairs." (Meghan)
"Wow, this is just like a big multimedia event. I heard that, and now I see Matt." (Jim)
"This is like a horror movie. But in reverse!" (Juliet)
"Wow, everyone’s voice sounds closer." (Meghan)
"Look, I’m next to the beer!" (Juliet)
"I love this song coming up…" (Meghan)
"OK, I’m hanging up now. Hello?" (Juliet)
Quite possibly, I think I have the BEST_FRIENDS_EVER!
