Went out with Scooter last night around Woodfield Mall in the West Suburbs. I was out of my element for the most part, but it turned out to be pretty cool. We ended up at this place called Gameworks, which is a bar/gargantuan arcade. Pay $15 and you get the run of the video and sports games for the rest of the night. Can I get a "jay-yeah"? I tried to call the crowd down in Bloomtown and convince them, at 2:30 in the morning, that Scooter and I were on our way back to Normal to hit up some parties. The drive from where we were at is two hours, at the very least. Matt and Rick bit, although Matt handed the phone to one of my two immortal enemies. He said, "hello", and I promptly hung up.
I've never talked to the kid, but still that doesn't mean he can't be my archenemy. My roommate for next year, Luke, has at least three. That's pushing it. I'm keeping it even steven at two, both valid, and both very much looking like they should be mortal enemies. I've got another one on deck, but we'll keep that on the DL for now. I'm waiting for some feedback before a declaration can be made.
Having mortal enemies, though the concept may sound silly, is really quite fun. Its someone you get to see at random places like bars, and parties, and Bennigans, and quietly hunch down and whisper to whomever you're with, "hey ... that guy over there is my mortal enemy." I just think that being able to say something like that, and having it kind of be true, because you have to believe it for it to be true, is key. I heard that mortal enemy number 2, the one from the phone last night, even has a Lord of the Rings tattoo. What it looks like? I don't know. If its the same one that I'm saving up for, I'm going to be pissed. Should I let that hold me back? Hell no. Mortal enemies have to be similar for there to be so much disliking going on.
We all know the saying, "opposites attract", right? And people that are too similar, much of the time, don't get along all that well over the long run -- also true, eh? Think about it. I don't like my two current mortal enemies b/c they remind me of weird, over the top versions of myself. The one on deck, that's a whole different story. That one's just pissing me off for the most part. But like I said, I still have some more work to do before a final declaration can be made as in "yea" or "nay".
