Another night in the van. This time I have a blanket. No repeats of last night. We played a
prank on Chris tonight. Alfie drank a bottle of tea and we convinced Chris that it was piss. Alfie
vomited and we dared Derek to drink it also. Chris is so gullible.
Today was weird. I took a nap from 12:45 to about 2:00. I told them to wake me up around
1:30 but no one did. what a good idea. Tomorrow I'll sleep in the vocal booth cause its a bit more
sound proof.
Spending 24/7 with five other guys is definitely an experience. There are a lot of pros and cons.
You'll trade privacy for honest opinions and laughs. You'll get lots of gay banter among men .We're
all straight though but its a form of playfulness, like a comfort zone reached only by the most
trusting and committed relationships. A band can hardly function without the pieces working together.
everyone gets along. They depend on each other. For everything. Away from home they are each
other's family, (in this case 2 of them are actual brothers) girlfriends, co-workers, shoulders to lean
and cry on. and of course an open ear, and not just in the musical sense.
I feel like a young kid in a store looking for a family member. A small panicked feeling rushes
over me when I think of Amber. I wonder what she's doing and where she is. I hope she's safe
and happy. I think about her all the time. I think about the first time I'll see her when I come home.
We've spoken on the phone everyday since I've been gone. She watches the videos online of us
hanging out. She is fucking awesome.
