"Everyone tortures themselves with this question: Did the parties used to be better? Probably not; It's just your mind playing tricks, pining for that magical time back when you and your friends were young and free and ready to take on the world - years before life and consequences trammeled your spirit."
-Gawker
is it strange that i am not even 22 years old and i can relate to this?
...or am i just thinking too much?

Night Drive
Well, it really all began with a car trip we took one night in May...
There was me and Tim and Jane, with Tim driving.
Somehow we wound up on route 84.
Around 10 PM we stopped at a LUK-EE DONUT place for some refreshment.
At first we were going to "take-out" but we changed our minds upon entering the establishment.
The abundance of pinks in the room was enough to make us stay awhile.
We ordered 3 coffees, 2 whole wheat honey glazed donuts and a jelly roll donut.
Tim smoked a Kool.
Once more we were on our way. On the car radio we got a station from Wheeling, West Virginia.
There was really quite a lot of static, but for a while it was interesting.
We even heard a really hilarious news bulletin about a UFO sighting...
At about 12:30 AM, we pulled into the lot of a huge all-night supermarket where people bought in BULK.
We thought we'd give it a whirl and pick up some stuff.
We needed some juice, bread, cheese, cookies, and magazines. The place was really merchandiseville.
We couldn't find anything that we needed, so we got some bottled water and organic chips.
We bought some crackers and aerosol cheese just for entertainment.
Now we felt seriously on our way. Jane fell asleep.
When she awoke she told us her dream.
It was slightly boring, but we didn't really mind.
Shortly after that, we passed some projects...It was around 2 AM by then, but we were pretty "up."
I remember thinking that I was having the time of my life, but I didn't know why.
We had drifted away from WWVA and were now onto some station with a lot of homemade commercials.
We talked about: our favorite styles of clothing; Chinese food; people we knew in common; our adolescences; our parents; ice cream; very small towns; and public transportation.
The sun began to come up, and suddenly everything felt different.
