remember when

i remember when we invited our friends over that october night. when we laid newspapers on the floor and dug out every knife we could find. the doors were wide open since it was so bloody warm, as most southern california october nights are. that night, in 2008, we put the books aside and slipped those thoughts of midterms in our back pockets. 

i remember that october night, we were a family. and that i had some pretty damned creative friends.
