Dear journal,

After school me and my friend Ray went to the bowling alley down town and guess who was there?

Gerard...

Oh, and Mikey was there too.

Apparently today is Gerard's birthday, and Mikey decided to take them bowling to celebrate them staying alive for 18 years now.
Cool.
Turns out Mikey is actually Gerard's little brother.
Which is hard to tell, considering Mikey is taller than Gerard.
But it's whatever...

Ray actually went over and talked to Mikey, who invented us to join their game, considering it was technically Gerard's birthday 'party' and they were the only two there.
So inviting me and Ray made it a party of four.

I didn't get to talk to Gerard as much as I'd have liked.
They said hi to me and I said hi back. They also told me I could call them a "he" now, I guess because they heard me say 'them' to Ray whenever I was talking about Gerard. They spent most of the event practically glued to Mikey's side, but that's alright.
We ate pizza, played a few games and that was it, me and Ray left around 9pm.

Mikey was nicer than I thought he would've been, and Gerard was quiet as usual. I really wish they'd talk to me...

But whatever.

At least I got to semi- hangout with them tonight. It was fun, I had fun, and I think it's safe to say, April 9th is probably the most important day of the year.

Even more important than Halloween.
