The Longest Story Ever

This one time my friend Dix invited me over to listen to him play a Cello concerto he had been working on for a long time. At the end of the piece he looked up and said,

"Why such a long face?"
To which I replied, "That was very long!"
He frowned and said "But I've come such a long way..."
Not wanting to hear anymore cello concertos, I tried to change the subject:
"Hey Dix, let's go watch a nice, long movie!"
"Alright, we could go see that one starring Justin Long"
"I've been longing for Justin Long!"

But when we got to the theater there was too long of a line, so we decided to just go for a long walk instead. It was awfully cold outside, so cold that Dix insisted - to my embarrassment - that we both wear long-johns. All that cello playing had made Dix pretty hungry, so we stopped at Subway and we both got a foot-long. He insisted on paying for the sandwiches because he was long in security.

Afterwards, we walked to the park on Parc even though it was (what I consider to be) a long ways away. We stopped to admire some kid's kite that was in the shape of Lóng, the mythical Chinese dragon. Then this other kid playing football yelled "GO LONG!" Dix tried to catch the ball, but missed by a long-shot.

Embarrassed by his momentary lack of athletic skills, Dix insisted that we leave when we suddenly ran into an old friend of his who was like, "Long time no see!"
As they reminisced about old times, I couldn't but help feel like I didn't be-long. So I said,

"So long!"
"Oh come on Emilie, can't we all just get a-long?"
"Not as long as he’s here!" I said angrily.

On the long and winding road back home I stopped at Bar Chez Maurice to drown my sorrows in a couple of Long Island iced teas. The guy sitting next to me wouldn't stop going on and on about his long-distance relationship with his girlfriend. I tried talking to him, thinking maybe we could be friends, but then I realized he was just looking for someone to get it on with all night long. It was then that I realized that I would never find another friend quite like Dix as long as I live.

So I went home and tried to write him a the longest short story that I could, but this was the best I could do.

Thanks to everyone who contributed their "long" expressions!
