A new Shawn Story
In high school, I had this idiot best friend Shawn. Last night, I talked to him voice-to-voice for the first time in about six years. (Six years ago, he stopped by my workplace to shop for a new hard drive with a friend and his daughter; we chatted briefly. Then I left town and we stopped speaking; we started IMing and e-mailing every now and then a few years back.)
He moved back into town within the past month, and he e-mailed me his number. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nilo, he's not of your generation nor is his daughter old enough to be in elementary school quite yet; no need to worry.) We talked.
He's finding it difficult to get a job, because of drug tests. (He's still smoking every substance known to man and then some.) He related his current tale of woe: he borrowed some of his friend K----'s urine to pass the test. However, no matter how much duct tape he used, the thing kept leaking. He had to go home three times to change clothes. By the time he finally got to the clinic to do the test, there was barely enough left to fill the cup, and he still failed, because it was too cold. He's got an entire laundry basket of clothing to wash with K---- all over them.
Only Shawn. *sigh* Only Shawn.
