Internet Relations, chapter 1
I wake up and look at the ceiling, the same old faces staring back at me: Tom, Mark and Travis. Then I look to my walls, Billie Joe, Mike and Tré all looking back at me.
I get up, god is it this stupid for a 22-year-old to still have posters of bands on their wall? I look in the mirror, same old blue eyes, same old black and blue hair, same old lip ring. Sometimes I wish for a change, not in my body though, I'm quite happy with that.
I look around my furnished apartment, the records in frames. Yeah, I'm a music nut. I have the signed CD's off eBay, the band shirts and I have 3 guitars. I'm not rich, but I did sacrifice a lot to get these.
I gave up my family and most of my friends; in fact all I have left is Becky, Alice and Valen. They have been with me since I was 14. I miss some of my friends dearly, but I can't go back, not after what I did.
I pull on my old skirt with the badges. Everyone at work thinks it's awesome I wear stuff like this at the office. I work for IT. It's kinda cool, I get to go on the internet all day and say what sites disfigure the computer and report it to the head office so they can fix the bug.
I sit and browse through the websites one after the other. I always have my MSN and AIM up, lets see...Becky's on, Dylan's on...oh, who's this...Billie? Argh, probably another faker...oh well, they are fun to talk to.
Hannah <3: Hi who is this?
Billie-I want friends not lovers: Hi! My names Billie
Hannah <3: Oh cool like Billie Joe Armstrong spelling?
Billie-I want friends not lovers: Yeah just like that I get pissed off when people say Billy it's annoying.
Hannah <3: I bet it would be people spell my name as Hana or Hanna -__-
Billie-I want friends not lovers: Awe! Well there's something in common we have.
Hannah <3: haha ok cool so you like Blink 182?
Billie-I want friends not lovers: yeah I met them once
Hannah <3: oh hey that's awesome I was only 13 when they broke up I remember crying
Billie-I want friends not lovers: Awe! That's not fun u seem cool I'll ttyl my kids are tearing up the house at the moment so I gotta stop them... Cya round <3 Billie
Hannah <3: Ok then Cya!
Well he seemed nice, I think, typing in some more of my story on one of my favourite websites, GeekStinkBreath.net. It's cool. I sit at my desk and drink the orange mocha frappochino on my desk, they all know it's my favourite. I stare at the background on my laptop, it always has Blink 182 or Green Day on it. Today it's Billie Joe, I always had a thing for Billie, but I also loved the antics of Tré.
"Hey Hannah c'mon, lunch!" I hear my co-worker Lili shout out. Ever since I moved to America this has been one big headache. Lili I met ages ago and she moved to America with me. Both Green Day and Blink 182 enthusiasts. We eat lunch ordered from McDonalds cause everyone is way too lazy.
I've been eating this tandoori roll for years now and I still love it. I get back to my desk to see a new email from Becky, She's Moved to America with Valen and Chris so we can get the band together again.
I remember my huge ambition to do that at the age of 14. I still have old blacky, I have more now though.
At the end of the day I go home and sit with my microwave dinner and old blacky, it will be great to see the old band again. I strum the notes of Boulevard of Broken Dreams and sigh, this was the life. I couldn't wait for tomorrow.
