Backroads and shortcuts, I know them well

It's nice to have friends that share your interests, like drinking until three or four a.m.

Especially if they live in a house right behind you. That's what I like about living so close to Shane. When he has people over at night, I can drink for hours and just walk (or stumble, as the case may be) across the street to my bed.

I mean really, is there anything better than hanging out with friends, drinking, talking, laughing? I think not.

And just a reminder: Fiona Apple's new CD comes out in one month. Oct. 4th. Mark your calendars!
