Another Day, Another Playlist.

Dancing Queen

The rest of yesterday was kinda a blur. I went home and fell asleep at around 5 pm and I woke up around 1 am. Yes I know, I fucked up my sleep schedule.
I woke up seeing a plate of pizza on my desk with a purple sticky note from my mom. It said,

Dylan. I realize now that I have not been strict enough with you trying to fix your sleep schedule. We missed you at dinner. Knowing you, you will wake up sometime in the night hungry so here's some pizza. Set your alarm because you are now required to be up by 10 am. If your not I will take away your music and electronics.
-Your loving Mother

Well shit. I might have to stay up all night because I don't think I can fall asleep again. Time to break out the energy drinks. I have a stash of energy drinks hidden underneath my bed. Mostly for occasions like this. once a month I have my sister Tommy take me to to the gas station down the road. I could probably just walk or bike there but it's kinda our thing.
   Me and Tommy don't hangout too much but when we do it's usually in her car away from mom and Dad. That's when we catch up on everything going on, and she makes sure I'm not on anything. Tommy has amazing taste in music, even better than mine. Usually on our car rides she shows me some new music she likes. Well not necessarily "new" music just "new" to her.
I grabbed a monster. I opened the can hearing that satisfying carbonated sound and then took a sip tasting the sweet sensation.
Monsters always tasted like liquid candy to me.
I grabbed my radio. I turned it to a random station.
I have a cassette tape radio I bought at a garage sale. I don't use cassette tapes, but I do use the radio.
Dancing Queen by Abba started playing. For some reason, this may just be my personal opinion but they always play better music at night. I don't hear much Top 40 and I don't have to worry about switching to a new station. It's actually quite relaxing.
My phone buzzed. It was Nathan.
Nathan McConnell is honestly one of my favorite people in this world and he's also my best friend. Nathan likes to knit, never really understood why but hey, if he wants to knit go for it. He's also really into cars and pugs.
I remember when I first met Nathan. I sat down next to him at lunch randomly and he stuck out his hand waiting for me to shake it and said "I'm Nathan McConnell I love to knit and if you are a sexist bastard who says guys shouldn't knit I will punch you in your sweet little face." And then he gave me a Toothy smile. Ever since then we have been best friends.
I checked the text
" What way is better to kill a spider? With a lighter or nail gun????"
I replied with(
" Jesus Nathan why are spiders attracted to you?"
"idk man can you come over, this spiders huge."
"Fine be there in five."
"Hurry."
This was a regular occurrence. I would sneak out my window and go to Nathan's house in the middle of the night. His parents honestly didn't care because I'm not really that loud of a person.
I got on my bike and started heading over.
