I'm just sitting around in the afternoon cause I can't sleep, counting the time until Galo 5 updates and talking with Bacon, and I get a random ass phone call.

A dude I barely know beside just as an acquaintence, calls me up and says he's stuck and broke down out somewhere and I was the only person he had left to call. So I out there to him. Picked him and his stuff up and drove him home.

Talked to him on the trip back. Apparently he met some guy from the area where I live and the asshole didn't even offer a lift and just drove off.

It's just been a weird day.

Pretty nice of you to do that

That's what's weird to me. I honestly wasn't aware as to what extent I had a reputation of around where I live. I only ever met the dude like three or four times but he knows or heard enough about me to call if he's in trouble.

I guess it's not weird. It's just an interesting slap to myself. I had no idea that word would travel so far. I drove two hours to go pick the dude up, sent two hours driving back, passed my home and drove for another hour to reach his out in the middle of nowhere.

It's kinda nice, I guess. Few years ago in my town at least I was the person everybody talked shit about.

2 hours!? If I were him I'd remember the event and try to make it up for you if there ever was a good time.

I couldn't smooth talk him out of taking a portion of his paycheck and giving it to me for the gas used to get there and just for me showing up in the first place. On top of him telling me that the favor of getting a lift would be returned if I ever needed it.
