If it's the last thing we ever do 002

So it came down to the final two weeks. Time to start giving notice. I told Rose, the manager of the apartment complex, first just to force it on myself. Next I told David. I think David is actually the one that ended up with the microwave but I really don't know. Anyway he was the manager of the theatre at Penn Sqaure. my part time job. Nothing like having a friend in place to make life easier. Since he was the ASSisstant manger he had to bust my balls and make me put it in writing. Next came the real job. I was about to dump the big BM on the hill. Again. I was really nervous at this point. Actually thinking about what might or might not actually happen. So my boss sits me down and tells me that if things don't work and I come back I am more than welcome to resume my position. Then he asks me a question I would heve never expected. Why? with a tone of sincere curiosity. My answer was not one that he was expecting. I don't hink I was either. "Well the bombing basically made me realize Oklahoma City was too small of a town to die in." Oh. Well there was more too it than that but I didn't add any details. "Probably come to die in this town. Lived here my whole life." - Big Black. Well that was part of at least. A good part of it even. A little bit for shits and giggles too. That was one of the few people that actually got a straight answer to that question. Most people, including my mother, got something along the lines of 'guns!drugs!whore!' A lot closer to the truth than I ever would have expected. I also told a lot of people that I would live in a cardboard box before I came back to that shit hole. Or words very similar, depending on how sober I was. One of the last things I did that was not as directly related to the move as everything else was going to a Rave. It was suppose to go all night. With an open bar. Without carding. As soon as Mike and I heard this we started betting on when it would get shut down. I remember hearing that it did I just don't remember seeing it. I do remember it was after 2am when we left.
