mothers day is this weekend. so i figured i should send my mom flowers or something. i just want to say, if anyone ever sends me flowers i’ll shoot you. HOLY EXPENSIVE!!!!!! who pays 60$ for a bouquet of flowers?!?! THEY’RE JUST GOING TO DIE!!!! and if you’re going to spend 60$ on me there are TONS of other things i could think of for you to buy me, besides flowers. and even the plants, that hopefully wouldn’t die in 2 days, are like 40$… JUST GO TO THE NURSERY AND BUY A FRIGGEN PLANT, PUT IT IN A POT!!!!! 15$! so yeah, i can’t afford any of these things…so i guess she’s not getting flowers.

 

i have a job interview at the account solutions group. they’re a collection agency. she said it’s very customer service oriented, all done on the phone and computers…yeah cuz i LOVE the telephone. she asked how much computer experience i have, and i said i’ve used a computer since i was 8 haha she laughed. she said they don’t harass people, they call and go over credit reports, and work with people as much as possible. it’s 8-12$ an hour depending on experience and education etc, and a monthly bonus. it’s 40 hours a week – required 3 nights a week until 10pm, required 2 weekend days a month, the rest of the hours you make on your own to equal 40. which would be really cool. cuz i could take whatever days off i need, and work like 15 hrs a day if i had to HAHA. but anyway…blah. the interview is the 20th, she wanted to do it monday but exams..or tomorrow, but class…so 20th now, which means it’s definite that i can’t go to cedar point with the house. i wanted to go but didn’t have the money really, so i was iffy on it, but now it’s settled, can’t go. hope they have fun.

last adolescent class today. we spent forever talking about cigarette ads, so we didn’t finish any of the other material. so now i gotta get it all from the book and blah. i should start doing the review sheet and studying so i can try to get 100 on the final. but… you know me, i won’t.

 

bill installed danielle’s cd burner today, and i got to try it out. the program he installed wouldn’t recognize her burner, and we couldn’t update the program cuz it said it wouldn’t connect to the internet so i installed something else for her. worked fine. burned tea party’s interzone mantras since i can’t afford to buy it at the moment. and so far it’s playing and everything worked.

got an email from my mom. i told her i’d be home for the interview. and she writes back saying how crappy of a job it is… like i didn’t realize that….and how it would be mindless drivel and i’d just have people hanging up and yelling at me… like i didn’t realize that. BECAUSE I ALMOST WANT THAT JOB!!!! she claims i’m too smart for a job like that, yet she thinks i’ll still be unemployed in november. well what the hell do you want me to do then? she said i should go to an employment agency.. well you know what kind of job they’re going to find me? the same exact kind of thing. so whatever. can i run away now and be a bohemian?

the dean of the college just sent out an email about jeremy’s death a few weeks ago. on and on about he’s proud of the way the school has responded etc, and that hopefully in time we’ll know what really happened to him. well that’s fucking bullshit. because there is NO WAY that what happened is still unknown. no matter how bad strong memorial screwed up the first autopsy, they know what happened. i know the family knows, i know friends of the family know… i know because i asked a friend of his and he said he couldn’t tell me. i’m tired of the school lying to everyone about what happened. just tell us already. and i’ll be gone in 15 days, and won’t ever find out. i think it’s important for people to know what happened, so it can be prevented or avoided next time.

well computer art is finished. i managed to print my projects out, sorta do a new one, print out my news letter, mount my 4 projects and burn my cd. so now we have to present our news letters on monday, and that’s it. poli sci is cancelled on friday, so i can sleep in for an extra hour…stupid research meeting, making me get up before noon blah.

i really need to go grocery shopping because i have no food. but i don’t even know what to buy. i know i need yogurt, bagels and cream cheese…and chip dip…and not actually any REAL food :P. i have hambuger and buns in the freezer i just always forget to defrost them… i have 4 hotdog buns but no hotdogs…a box of crummy chicken strips…and pasta. so i guess i’ll go see what i can get at aldi, try to avoid wegmans, and maybe go to campus store…i go there all the time and there’s never anything i want so i end up buying chips… hopefully they’ll have chip dip cuz aldis doesn’t.

head hurts blah. i emailed Shea’s yesterday to ask how they decide what shows get to play there. I asked so i know if i ever have a chance of seeing hedwig in buffalo (but i didn’t say that)…anyway. i got a response, and the guy liked my website. i sent the email without my url, so he must have just assumed since my email was a pc.com address, that it was my site and went for the hell of it. so that’s cool. too bad they aren’t like “we want you to come work for shea’s and do our website”…even tho their website is actually functionally cool, and uses flash in a neat non-annoying way, so it doesn’t really need to be redesigned.

 

since the macphisto society moved from pleba to it’s own home, i haven’t gone back to pleba much. but i went today because there was a story about a girl who met bono and edge today at the studio where they are recording. she talked to them, and asked bono if he knew about pleba and he said “scary girls!” (cuz pleba is the forum where girls can go and talk about how they wanna have sex with u2 lol)…LOL i just think that is so hilarious. i guess some ppl are a bit put off that he called them scary… ok but HELLO! I’d be friggen scared too if i was a famous rockstar and had all these hormonal women talking about what’s talked about on pleba (which isnt bad or pornographic or anything)…but i dunno. i don’t understand how people wouldn’t think that’s scary? i mean, i assume he’d be scared of the macphisto society too, and it’s not even bad…lol i dunno. whatever.

 

so the rolling stones are touring again. not playing buffalo. not that i really care. don’t need to see them again, can’t afford to see them again. if i won tickets i’d go, but they’re not a priority. but what is interesting is that on the tour they are playing 3 different kinds of shows…stadiums, arenas and clubs. and each is a different kind of show and set up depending on venue. so there are 2 toronto dates… one at air canada center, one at skydome…i found that very interesting. and it would be super rad to see them in a club, but yeah haha the chance of that happening is near zero (and not just because they are playing here…wouldn’t be able to afford scalper tickets after it sells out in 5 minutes). the previous tours they’ve always done a secret club day, announced the day it happened in various locations…one year it was in toronto, and aunt darleen’s friend happened to be walking by the club and just walked in. how amazing would that be?! another cool thing about this is…when we were at waterstreet on saturday, i commented to eric that i’d die to see nin in a club like that… he said “you know those dreams you have, keep dreaming” lol…but hey if the friggen stones can play clubs, so can nin. 🙂 some day…if i was in a band, oh say nin, i’d do random club dates in the city i lived in…it would be fun. or if i was the googoo dolls or something, i’d do a random club date at showplace or something, a few times a year.

this girl in computer art had THE coolest shirt on today. it was red, and it had a strip of velcro across it. it came with velcro letters so you could spell out whatever you wanted. i’m like omg so i asked her where she got it… walmart!!! lol so i was all excited i was going to go get one, but she said she got it a while ago :(…but it’d be really easy to make, just the letters would be a pain in the ass, but i’m going to look into finding some kind of fabric with letters on it that would look good…we’ll see.

i guess we’re going out to tom wahls tonight for dessert…i guess for danielle’s and my birthday, leah’s paying i guess. so yay! lol dessert!! and i saw the most beautiful people issue with apolo in it. yeah totally need a bigger scan of that, because it’s so gorgeous lol.

mom called. said someone called for me at home about a job. so i guess online resume posting through…whatever i posted on last night…actually works. it’s a customer service job in amherst or something. i guess i’ll call tomorrow. not really looking forward to a job in customer service, but..whatever.

i also looked at other school counseling programs… NU and UB have some. the UB program seems to be only a year long before certification but their site really confused me. they kept using M.Ed. and Ed.M. interchangably and i don’t know if those are 2 different degrees or not. then there was something about 2 years experience before permanent certification or something. and then more classes. i dunno i was so confused. and i requested information about social studies 2ndary ed degree from Buff state…to find out if you need a history background or can enter with any degree.

saw the new eminem video on mtv. it’s actually really funny. lol. and then i saw a video from some skater girl named avril lavigne or something. more girl pop music, but at least she plays guitar and doesn’t dance. so she’s already higher on my list. she doesn’t have that good of a voice…i need to make a demo tape of crap and shit it off to record companies so they can mold me and make me famous.

 

i hate people. went to try and print my comp art stuff again. this time only 4 others were there. so i stood up and asked, “is anyone printing anything?” so that i could put my good paper in the printer. no one said anything, looked at this other girl, she didn’t say anything. so fine, i put my paper in there and it starts warming up…which isn’t right since i hadn’t sent anything yet….so sent my jobs to the printer…nothing prints. go over and look, printer is jammed from the heavier paper i put in. which is probably my fault. so i open the side of the printer, don’t see anything close it, and it spits out the paper. WITH SOMEONE ELSES PRINT ON IT! I FUCKING ASKED IF ANYONE WAS PRINTING AND NO ONE SAID YES!!! AND IT WAS THE GIRL I HAD LOOKED AT AND SHE LOOKED AT ME AND DIDNT SAY SHE WAS PRINTING. i put a thinner piece of paper into the printer to see if it would go through (got stuck too) and she comes over and gets her print and is like sorry. WTF! I ASKED IF YOU WERE PRINTING! fucking bitch. besides the fact it’s 4000 degrees in there, so i’m already irritated. then you use my paper, and the printer is STILL jammed and i don’t know how to unjam it, and couldn’t find our proff. fuck that. so i left…again…with nothing printed. i guess i’ll go in before class tomorrow and attempt for a 3rd time to print out my projects so i can mount them during class tomorrow. arg

 

2 plane crashes today. i have no fear of flying pre or post sept 11th, but that’s not really something i want to hear about when i’m going to be on 8 different planes in the next month.

 

 

buffalo has zero jobs. ok i lie. buffalo has zero jobs that i can do because either 1. i don’t have the right kind of degree 2. i don’t have experience, but can’t get experience anywhere to get hired anywhere else 3. jobs i can do are poverty line pay, and i’m too smart for. 112 jobs came up in my buffalonews.com search and i’m not even qualified to do DATA FRIGGEN ENTRY apparently..because i have no experience. oh there were some light industrial assembly jobs i could do because no experience or degree required.. .BUT WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT WHEN I’M A COLLEGE GRADUATE?! there was this one “PLAY PLAY PLAY $400-$600/Wk. Advertising co. dealing with NBA, NHL, MLB clients seeks 20 people serious about having fun, making money and goofing off. No Experience. Call Tina, 873-4705.”…..no idea what that’s about, but that’s 20,000$/yr before taxes. couldn’t even support myself on that. might as well call 😛

 

i’ve decided to start wearing my glasses again. even tho they make my eyes hurt. because i really can’t see. my eyes just go into stare mode and don’t focus. so blah.

chucky p’s new book “lullabye” comes out in the fall, and the site is up and running for it. so i read the exerpts, seems so good!! it seems like it’s going to be a lot better than “choke”…not that choke was that bad, it wasn’t…but it was strange, and really perverted, and i would not recommend it to a first time chucky p reader. i’d go with “survivor” or “fight club” first. i need to re-read “choke” and see if there are some hidden gems i missed the first time around. i know there is, cuz it was still a cool book, it just wasn’t as good as his others. it wasn’t as surprising and all that. wasn’t predictable, but didn’t blow my mind. “lullabye” seems like it’s going to appeal to me much more. just the first chapter (or exerpt from the first chapter) was super interesting, and i totally want to read it NOW. lol. i signed up for the street team again…they mentioned buttons. I WANT CHUCKY P BUTTONS! last time they gypped me on the stickers, so they better not gyp me on the buttons lol.

and my god, cyndi’s friend is wonderful….all these apolo pics…this time, swimming, shirtless…buff. omg. lol can’t tell if he has hip groovies or not LOL.

my friend sandy met michael jackson again. yes again. so i think this is time #6…possibly more than that actually….cleveland, munich, london (possibly more than once), nyc twice, cali (i think is the recent one)…that i know of. she sent some pictures of her and him. god he looks terrible.

i wasted time on the net today looking for pictures of men in makeup. why? just because. i got some strange sites, none of them were men in makeup. i got a site about a transvestite supply shop…and a site about permanent makeup including nipple coloration…?!?!….then i google image searched…dude it sucks now. i dunno if it changed or if it was always like that, but no matter what i search for i just end up getting tons of random menu buttons from various sites…and sites that have NOTHING to do with my search…so blah. no men in makeup for me…i mean, other than my rockstars.

 

still so deaf. crunching on my cereal is absolutely horrible LOL.

The Tea Party @ Water Street

tea party day 2. i headed out to rit around 1:30, to then head down to waterstreet. as i said before, i wasn’t really up for sitting around bored outside the hall all day to meet the band, and be first in line. eric wasn’t all that keen on it either, but we figured we’d head down there and see what was going on with joe and rick and the backstage pass bit and whatever. so we got there, and joe and rick were helping roadie for the band…well hey, whatever floats your boat. i think the only band i’d roadie for would be nin but anyway. so mary stayed with them and me and eric left to get food. stopped at record archive too, then back to waterstreet. well everyone was inside…doing whatever they were doing. and me and eric weren’t allowed in. so we’re like ok, leaving again. so hit some more cd places and thrift store, then went back to waterstreet. by then it was about 6 or so. karl and kellee and karl’s friend dave showed up, so talked to them. talked to kelley for a long time about graduating and finding jobs and stuff. i think that’s the most i’ve ever talked to her lol. doors were at 7ish, so waited, blah, got inside etc. i forgot how much i liked waterstreet for shows. because you’re really close, and their barrier has carpeting on it LOL. so it’s “comfy”. i made sure i had alot of room so later when ppl started smooshing up i’d still sorta be not totally crushed. anyway. velour..oh i’m sorry, the turnstones…played again. yay for us. we are so lucky :P. they were crap again. and this time we were at the barrier right in front of the non-talented guitarist…his amp was WAY too friggen loud, so i was deaf after 30 seconds. so all of us (9 of us i think) were so completely uninterested in velour that i think the guitarist guy was kinda irritated. lol it was like he realized we wouldn’t look at him so he’d come play closer to the front of the stage, and we’d all continue to look down or somewhere else LOL. we’re so rude. anyway. i got a velour guitar pick…i can see you are all green with envy. yeah i think he whipped it at me LOL it hit my arm and was like OW!! lol. but whatever.

so tea party played…of course, it was good. not too much to say about it. it was more or less same setlist as last night. OH except yeah, guess who was there…STP kid….oh and he had a sign, again, like at stp. and the tea actually played the song…he must have felt special. he didn’t talk to any of us tho, so that was good. lol. so the crowd was so great. no one even touched me. no crush, no annoying jumping or anything. it was so super. and yeah since we were at the barrier, jeff martin was right in front of me the entire time and i could actually see. so it was rad.

everything finishes and we hang around inside, and then head out. well manslut was there, and a bunch of his friends were there. joe had gotten 2 of tea’s set lists, and the kids were all pissed at him and were going to jump him for the setlists…..?!?!?!?!…..ok so we’re all leaving, and suddenly eric like takes off pushing people out of the way to get down the stairs. so i was like um???? wtf, is he in that much of a hurry to get outside?! well one of the kids then is all like, what the fuck…starting shit. and eric is like yeah, whatever, fuck off. the kid faked to punch him and eric is walking away. then a girl that was with all these kids starts talking shit to mary. so i’m just really trying to stay out of the way LOL. so eric comes back of course, to get mary, and he calls the girl a skank. LOL super. so then she’s all trying to start a fight with both of them. and eric is all like, fuck off, fuck off. and then rick just sorta stands between eric and mary, and the girl, all intimidating and things kinda settled. then manslut came out, and joe is all like “youre friends are fucking assholes, trying to beat me up to get a setlist” (which is when i figured out what the hell started everything). so the kids come back over and is talking to eric, rick and joe and is threatening to kill one of them (still i guess for the setlist)…and don’t put it past him to kill one of them. oh and he said some shit about racism and beating them like niggers or something. then he started saying shit about how he had AIDS, so they better be scared. at some point he broke a bottle and had it in his pants, ready to use on us i guess. ok now this kid was shorter than me, and skinny… so rick could have easily beat this kid to a pulp. but he was all ready to kill the guys with his broken off bottle…and give them AIDS LOL…..anyway. it was kinda amusing, but also quite frightening. there was a security guard who came and stood between all of us, and kinda settled things. made the ppl starting shit with us leave. and manslut said it was all bullshit, and he told the kid he’d beat the shit out of him if he tried anything with us.

so headed to denny’s after waiting around more for the band. ate, etc. yeah. came home. i am so deaf.

 

the tea shows were great. the band was great, the crowd was great, making the whole experience great. but…there’s a fun-ness factor that isn’t there with that band. there are some bands you go to the show, and it makes you hyper and you have fun. and there are bands who are great, but who don’t give that feeling to you. and i’m not totally sure what it is about the tea party that makes them lack in the fun-ness factor…but part might be what mary talked about on her blog – the lack of crowd interaction. jeff martin NEVER looks at anyone. he never makes eye contact with anyone in the front rows…nothing. and while i could care less if i got that, i know mary wanted it so bad, and i’m sure others as well. i think another part of it is the music. tea have great music, but it’s very “heavy”… not heavy in the slipknot kind of sense, but more in a….thought provoking – makes you think – emotional – mysterious…kind of way. they don’t play “fun” music. they don’t play the kind of music you’d blast on your stereo while getting ready to go out for the night. that’s not a fault, it just gives the show a different kind of atmosphere. i’m kind of biased, but i think nin is the same way. i know *I* would have an excellent fun time at a nin show, but for someone who isn’t that into nin, but is present (like me with tea party), it’s a great show, but would probably lack the fun-ness factor due to the type of music they play. but then… (trying to think of bands with the fun-ness factor)…take econoline. they’re music may be equally emotional, but the kind of music it is is alot more fun…light hearted with a deeper meaning…and it makes you hyper and you dance around and have fun. and the energy level on stage is incredible and you get swept up in it, and you have fun. i dunno.. it’s just different. neither is better, just depends on the band….tea party…APC…tool…super great bands that lack the fun-ness factor….econoline…u2….nin (for me)…stp….super great bands that have the fun-ness factor.

“Orgy have been busy in a Los Angeles, CA area studio recording new material for their upcoming new album as of late. The group have laid down tracks for more than a dozen songs and are continuing work on recording with plans to have the album out later this year. The group will also be releasing their first DVD effort around the same time as the album lands in stores and hope to hit the road to begin touring later this summer.”

yay and blah!! dude dvd was supposed to be out late spring. but why am i surprised it won’t be out til xmas or something. arg.

forgot to mention something last night. a deer ran out in front of my car on nash rd when i was heading back to the thruway. NASH ROAD!! i saw it, thought it was a dog, slowed down, it ran across the street, everything was good. but NASH ROAD!!! i get paranoid driving home from RIT on 390 at night, and then on rt 20 back to school cuz it’s dark and open, and yeah..deer. but i have never seen a deer running around. then i’m on nash road and i could have possibly hit one. insane. it was especially weird since everything that i had a fleeting thought of came true yesterday, but i had this vision of having to go to my house and wake my parents up because i hit a deer. then the deer runs in front of me.

anyway. i’m tired. couldn’t get to sleep even tho i was exhausted because i took excedrine for my headache and the caffine kept me awake til god knows when, prolly after 4 sometime. so of course i was thinking of tim, and it sorta really depressed me LOL. i was like NO STOP THINKING!! so i did. lol. i was just thinking about how perfect he is and how i’ll probably never meet anyone like him ever again. NO STOP IT! ok. 🙂 oh and i was thinking, it’s actually been more like 3 years since i last saw tim. summer 99, because he came in to mcds and julie ran back to get me and was like “i think tim is here!!!!!!” so i ran up front, and looked like crap of course, and i had long black hair then. so yeah. i look different now. and then i insulted julie by saying i’m glad he didn’t work here anymore, because she would have tried to fuck him LOL. she got offended. well it was true, whatever.

so i guess i should get dressed and do something before heading to RIT. i need to put gas in my car something fierce. everyone paid me finally, which is good since i said in the last post i had an expensive credit card bill, and the next one will be just as bad. and my grandparents sent me money, which is going to go in the gastank. i dunno if i should go to cedar point, i really can’t afford it anymore. we’ll see. i’m not used to high credit card bills. i’m not like most college kids who have exorbitant amounts of debt. my monthly statement is usually between 10-20$…and 10 is for this website. so when i saw 454!!! lol. my last bill was high too because it was my plane ticket to chicago, but mom paid for that..or she paid for it out of my savings accout. this bill had 300$ worth of last night’s tickets, and 100+ for the psych conference. which i’ll get reembursed for, but not til september or something. next bill will have the tickets for new orleans on them. no $!!!!

Tea Party @ Shea’s

it’s late, i’m tired, but i wanted to write up tonight before i forget everything.

i should have known that my night was gonna be good as soon as i left my house. lol i had to go pay my credit card (eeeeek 454$!!!!!, without the plane tickets to NO.. and i have NO money left) so i left to get danielle early. had time to kill so i went to record theatre, who was there? Ian. i haven’t seen him in over a year. so we talked, he moved back home cuz he broke up with Samantha. it was good to see him. but i was thinking, dude, why can’t i ever run into Tim. i know he’s around yet i never see him ever. blah.

so headed downtown to shea’s for the concert. got in, and danielle and i were standing on a landing of the staircase (it’s a theatre, so it’s all fancy inside and has staircases lol) to avoid the huge crowd below waiting for doors to open. so we’re standing there, and who is walking up the stairs? Tim. I AM NOT KIDDING. i’m staring at him, and i’m like that looks like Tim. That IS tim. so i’m like omg danielle that kid right there is Tim (cuz she never really saw him before). he looked at me as he was walking up the stairs, but there was like no glimmer of recognition at all (well the last time i saw him i had below shoulder length hair, so i don’t blame him), so i was to afraid to go talk to him. he was with his little asian girlfriend, so didn’t wanna go talk to him for that reason either. but he was standing with people at the top of the staircase, so i was just staring at him in hopes he’d look over and recognize me. then he disappeared. but anyway…my heart was beating so fast. it was so nice just to see him, since i’ve been saying that’s all i wanted to do for so long now, just see him. i wish i could have talked to him but i didn’t want to risk him not knowing who i was. i’d rather just assume he didn’t recognize me cuz i’ve changed my hair so drastically…he is still perfect. it kinda makes me sad on one hand, that i’ll never meet someone like him again, but…when i saw him i was excited that it was him, but there was no real feeling there anymore. not sure if that’s good or not. if i had the chance to talk to him or hang out with him i’m sure it would all come back. i know for a fact it would. i am totally serious when i say that i could be married for 25 years, with kids, and if he walked back into my life i couldn’t guarantee i wouldn’t drop everything for him. i was so excited i wanted to call carolyn and be like O M G I SAW TIM! lol but i didn’t.

anyway…so we found our seats once doors opened and sat through crappy Velour who have a new name, the turnstones…and then a 2nd opener band that at least had more talent than Velour, but weren’t my thing. i forget their name. anyway. between sets they were playing U2 best of, so i was all excited lol. then before tea party they played walk on, tool’s “sober” and then “closer”…doesn’t get much better lol. so tea party came on. we had heard from aaron who had met the band earlier with joe and them, that jeff martin was sick. so we didn’t know what kind of set to expect. well it was really great. this show totally redeemed them for me, since this was the make or break show for me. i had space, people weren’t annoying, it was so great crowd wise (the band, even in my bad experiences, are always great)…they seemed to be having such a great time onstage, they were loving how the crowd was reacting. so it was really super. so they always (that i’ve seen them) close with “sister awake” and they insert “paint it black” into it… so they were doing that, and then they started doing “heroes”… by….david bowie LOL. so i’m like duuuude bowie!!!! haha it rocked. good good show, good good experience. and i saw tim.

hoping tomorrow is good as well, but i’m doubting it. not really in the mood to deal with a waterstreet crowd… the smooshed factor etc. so we’ll see. maybe i’ll hang at the bar, and let everyone else do the up front thing. depends if we get barrier. WHICH WE BETTER since i’m going up with everyone and spending the whole goddamn day there. lol.

i was just flipping through the channels before going to bed, and happened to come upon the howard stern show. and i stopped because sharon osbourne was on, and so was insane clown posse. omg sharon is so funny! she was totally making fun of them, and saying how they were retards, and have no vocabulary. and so they’re yelling back at her, making fun of her, and one of the stupid clown people were like, shut up or i’ll smack those spectacles off your face. so she took them and threw them at the clown guy ROFL. then she bet them 50,000$ that their next record wouldn’t sell more than 200,000 units. so they were all trying to tell her this stuff about the music business, and she’s all like don’t you tell me about the music business, you’re not even in the music business because you’re not musicians, you’re two retards with a gimick that lasted 5 minutes and you’re over. rofl. she was getting them good, and all they could say back were insults about how she was old LOL. it was so great, she is so hilarious. and the clowns were like, didn’t you push someone down the stairs, someone’s manager. she was like yeah, korn’s manager. i punched him first, then pushed him down the stairs ROFL. so funny. she is great. that whole damn family is a riot. then was flipping through more, and ozzy and sharon were on leno. omg it was hysterical. leno is just sitting there not really understanding what ozzy was saying, and he’s just like “yeah great”…sharon was complaining about how ozzy eats 5 apples a night in bed, and they’re so loud crunching. then ozzy was trying to tell a story about how he got banned from the circus when he played madison square garden, but couldn’t remember MSG so he’s like SHARON help me out. and i think he realizes how everyone laffs at him always yelling for sharon, cuz he kept just going “sharon!!!” lol. it was so funny. and he has 2 smilie faces tattooed on his knees ROFL. it was so great. oh and leno asked if they’re doing a 2nd season and they are!! YAY!!!!!

but last night sucked. was watching tv because the stupid rain was hideously loud. didn’t get to sleep til 3ish, cuz if the rain. and i think i need to tape record just how loud it is, because it’s not normal rain noise. and it’s not a consistant loud irrtating noise…if it was consistent i could fall asleep. but it depends on the wind, and crap. so half the time it wasn’t even really raining, yet water was pouring off the 3rd floor roof on to the one in front of my window, and OMG IT’S JUST SO GODDAMN LOUD! i was really about to cry, and go downstairs to sleep on the couch. finally it stopped tho, and then it was just windy as all hell (still is) but at least i can sleep to that. and of course got woken up by housemates talking in front of my door. ARG!

 

1. carolyn got our david bowie tickets. yay.
2. i must say i love my international relations class. it’s absurdly easy, and the proff is so cool…we got out 20 min early today. we talked about the world bank some more, and got to debt forgiveness. so i was trying really hard to find a reason to bring up bono, but didn’t really happen. lol. i was hoping he’d mention it…like jubilee 2000/drop the debt and how they’ve been getting money from the US to help 3rd world countries, and how bono is doing such a great job with it…but he didn’t. lol that’s ok
3. since we got out 20 min early tho, it’s not really enough time to go back home before coming to the meeting, so i just have to sit here for 20 min. boring. i need to find a bathroom but i dunno where they are in this building, and i dunno if it’s safe to leave my stuff in here and be signed on to this comp. someone might waste my printer balance. not like anyone is in here, and not like anyone ever comes in here at this time in the morning lol.

yippeee. booked mine and carolyn’s flight to new orleans. we’re going from june 5th to the 10th. we have to connect in detroit, which sucks. i’ve never had to connect before, so it’ll be stressful. there’s about an hour between flights, so hopefully there won’t be any delays that make us miss our flight, cuz then i’d panic. but at least in detroit i could call my family.

so research sara is booking our hotel tonight. it’s a days inn on canal street in the french quarter !!! we all met today to do our “homework” assignment for this week, and spent an hour talking about new orleans. there are a bunch of people going from geneseo… and not sure if that’s a good thing or not, because most of them i probably don’t like. dunno if we’d even be hanging out with them, but this kid pete is going, and pretty sure he’s gay… so he’ll be a riot. he was in toronto last year, and he said he corrupted his research group by taking them to a gay club in toronto and that he and this other girl got so drunk they couldn’t find the hotel, and that he was all excited because it had been right before pride week so there were all kinds of pride flags out.. so yeah i’m thinking he’s come out since i last had him in a class and he was still saying he was straight.

and i told everyone the only thing i HAD to do in new orleans was tour the garden district cuz i have to find trent’s house. and i think everyone wants to do a ghost tour thing, and maybe one of those gambling boat things lol. but we’ll figure it out. i know that dr schneider wants to take us girls for dinner one night, so dunno what’s gonna happen with all the friends going with us, but whatever. it’ll get figured out.

oh and the flight was only 171$! which is good, because initally it was 171, then last few times i checked, like last week, it had gone up to 210…but it’s back to 171 again so happy joy. not like it matters to me, cuz mine is paid for by the school (eventually), but carolyn has to pay herself so it’s good we got it cheaper.

meanwhile my shoulder is going to fall off. it hurts SO bad for no reason. i didn’t do anything to it. last week or 2 weeks ago i got this super sharp stabbing pain right through the middle of my shoulder/arm connection area. it went away. now it hurts so bad again, and ug, i’m dying. took excedrine before, didn’t help, so now i’m gonna take the naproxin the dead doctor gave me last fall when he was still alive… lol. see if that helps.

i had taco bell for dinner, cuz i went to the union with beth and her roommate after our research meeting. if it gives me a stomach ache again, never eating it again. i wanted popcorn chicken, but of course they didn’t have it today. i don’t get that lucky. so taco bell it was. and i finally went to campus store and bought a half gallon of peanut butter cup ice cream for 4.69$….i have 60$ left on my account. 10 boxes of easy mac LOL.

 

forgot to mention in the new orleans post that we’re gonna go to a drag show too. lol.

 

 

bowie – toronto – august 5th. oh yeah. i REALLY should try to like his music LOL. i hope it’s not super expensive. but i must go! must!

i need to move out of my house (parents house). i can’t live there. i know my dad reads my site every now and then, so there you go. i’m moving out as soon as i can afford to. i will find a job that gives me enough money to live in a shit hole apartment if i have to, but i am not living there.
