Unrelated, I'm sorry I missed your IM's, Kristen. You were right, I wasn't there, I came back like five minutes after you left. ;_;
I'm going to try to get as much stuff down as possible here.
This is for Aleia:
So, I met this girl who is pretty crazy. She keeps flirting with me and coming on to me all the time, and I'm one of those people who take what they can get when they can get it. What I ended up with is a really clingy friend. I blocked her on AIM already because she's so annoying. She's okay in person, but I can't take "Hey, how are you? Why aren't you responding even though you are away?" going on all the time. Get a life.
Okay. Party. I didn't take any pictures for myself, Nikita did. Nikita's hanging out with a friend or something today, so I don't have pictures yet. Here's the blow-by-blow:
Cecile and Joe got me one of those electronic parrots that repeat stuff you say back to you. I know you know what I'm talking about. This one is cool though because it's in pirate get-up. Nikita got me Vol. 1 of D.Gray-Man, a manga. It's pretty sweet.
Roger gave me a "box of dreams" which could be translated into "box of Roger's shit" which included Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, Pokemon cards, instruction manuals to games I don't have, baby pictures of Roger that he wasn't aware were in the box, an epic birthday card, and 20bux. More on the box later.
Will ended up never showing up, so the "crew" didn't happen. Hannah drove a bunch of people including Nikita and Daniel here, and the cuddling began, haha. I got real close with Hannah by the end of the night.
Brian from a local metal band, Icarus, called up, saying their show got canceled and they wanted to play at my party. They showed up first and brought their PA system. The Sibling Project came, then the Wolverines. The Wolverines came in as Roger and some others found the $20 in the box of dreams and they started celebrating loudly and the Wolvies were pretty weirded out, I think because they thought the kids were celebrating because of their arrival.
The Sibling Project put on a really cool show, everyone danced. Stephanie's mom apparently owns a recording studio and so she got the Sib's contact info and she wants to get the signed, that's pretty freakin' cool. The Wolverines came on and played an amazing set, I think they actually practiced before coming, which I'm not used to! haha
We went outside and made prank phonecalls to some of the people who couldn't make it to the party. Joe tried to eat a Yu-Gi-Oh card that was a cheeseburger fusion monster, I think it was literally called Angry Burger or something to that effect. he spat it out. I told him he should finish the job, but Roger beat him to it, he ripped the card into pieces and swallowed each piece. It was agonizing to watch. Then Iracus played and it was fucking loud. We were all too tired and unfamiliar with the band to really get into it, but it was cool, man.
When we were making the prank calls, Roger and DeShawn were apparently writing a song, they came on after Icarus with the microphone and sang the following:
I saw you walking down
the street the other day.
And I swear to God, you were
the one who turned me gay.
I masturbated by myself the other night,
but unless my hand is your bum,
it doesn't feel quite right.
There's more, but I think you get the idea. It was interesting.
Joe got a chair and his busted-ass acoustic guitar with a missing G-string and sang about earthworms then left with Cecile.
I brought my guitar down to jam with Jordan, the drummer I talked about in an earlier post, but we got a few licks in before everyone disappeared.
I woke up feeling awful today, but started feeling better eventually. Tomorrow, Allii is modeling for me on the top of a parking deck so I can draw her with the Greensboro cityscape behind her for an art project. Tuesday is my actual birthday, and I will be spending it by seeing V for Vendetta and discussing it at UNCG for UNS cred. The BRAINZ zombiewalk is Saturday, and I'm looking into hanging out with Hannah either Friday or Sunday.
So I'm having a pretty fucking cool life right now.
There's some really stupid things I have to deal with for being absent on what was apparently one of the most important days for some of my classes. My partner for this Sociology project dropped the course without even mentioning doing so to me and I've been playing email tag with that professor. I was supposed to finish a novel that I wouldn't have known to finish (I read 20 pages to be safe but there's still like 100 more), get books out of the library, and write a draft of a paper on the book. Uhhh... help?
I'm getting more and more excited about my party as it comes up. I've been pretty fearful about it because for some reason I didn't think anyone was going to show up. So far I have about a dozen, plus some very strong maybes. Will will be there, Thomas will be there ("you are a worthy foe"), Nikita, Britt, Roger... It's a really solid group of people, even if it's looking like Brad can't make it up here. And of course, there will be the two or three bands.
Also, I made this today:
My laptop's much more of a beast than I originally thought it was. I've been playing CounterStirke a bit on it (first time playing CS in YYYEEEEAAARRRSSS) and it runs smooth as hell, Half Life 2 run okay. The beginning train sequence makes it hang up a lot, but after that, it... doesn't freeze... That's all I really care about, haha.
I heard I'm getting some Steam gift cards so I can buy The Orange Box. :)
Also, I have a deviantArt account now, it's here: goodbyeface on deviantART
I got sick this weekend after SW's homecoming. Lame. I'll be all better tomorrow though. Fall break until Tuesday, one day of school, then up to PA for a wedding.
It's going down on November 10th, I'm planning it all on my own (since I'm an adult now, my parents said). It'll be like my graduation party except stuff is going to work this time and the Wolverines are going to show up for it.
My high school friends (if they still actually like me!) get to meet my college friends and vice versa and it'll be one big (or small) friendgasm. For the sake of the bands playing, I feel like having a big crowd, but at the same time, I kind of want (or at least I only expect) maybe ten people. I don't know. I don't know where I stand with any of my HS friends because none of them seem to want to talk to me, I assume they're all sick of me. I'm over it.
So uhh... I'm excited. Kinda.
The past two days have been amazing. I've changed so much and I've had to grow up a lot. I've done so many things that I've never expected myself to do in such a short time. I beat Brandon in beer pong, but that's probably because I didn't drink any. I've been awake all night, managed to get through two days of school without sleeping then sleeping the day away. I've also been making some really amazing friends, as I've mentioned. So, it goes like this:
Sleep
Wake up and go do art homework with Britt
Come back and hang out/jam in my room
Go to Square One to see The Bronzed Chorus at day 3 of Greensboro Fest
Come home, say hi to parents
Sleep
Wake up, hang out with parents
Meet up with Britt
Go to The Space to see Boa Narrow at day 4 of Greensboro Fest
Die happy.
I hate it when my professors want me to email them assignments, I have to do it weekly in freshman seminar, and it's really a pain. Why? Because I have to use UNCG's email system, which is fucking terrible.
Aside from that, the really long spots that were filled with boredom are filling up. I've been making a few new friends. most of them are really cool. I also made the acquaintance of a deaf person. Weird, huh? I don't know much sign language, so we wrote stuff on a napkin back and forth.
Circuit City didn't get my laptop in on Wednesday, so we're literally camping out at around noon tomorrow so we can get it.
I'm going to Nikita's birthday party in like an hour.
And getting calls to go to dinner with friends at UNCG while I'm 25 minutes away sucks. I wish I could be really close-knit with these people, I can't even rely on actually seeing them on any given day.I need to keep a few pages in my notebook for everyone's schedules so I know when to call them and when not to. Some of the professors are really crazy about that. Like the teacher I mentioned earlier? Someone's cell phone rang in class and he made the announcement that "if your cell phone even VIBRATES in my class, you see this chair here? It's going FLYING."
The only professor I have who is a total bore is my sociology professor. That's okay though.
So far, I've spent $400 on books, $20 on coffee, and like $15 on Quizno's. This is in a week.
I need something to do this weekend.
I have most of the remainder of my summer planned out:
7/22 - 65days/TWDY/FBTMOF/YIS @ Greene Street
7/23 - AMAZING Italian dinner with neighbors. :)
7/24 - Parents come home.
7/25 - family things.
7/26 - hang out with Brad
7/27 - Tell the jerks at college that I have insurance. Hang out with Michaela.
7/29 - The Bronzed Chorus/GIANT @ Two Art Chicks
8/1 - Wolverines/Tarantuloco/Daniel Striped Tiger @ Two Art Chicks
8/4 - I'm thinking about going to DIY Fest in Durham, but this one is skippable.
8/6 - Daitro (from France!)/Ampere/Des Ark @ Nightlight, Chapel Hill
8/11 - Skating with Michole?
At some point, I have to get my license, get my UNCG parking permit, and order books.
And once I go to college, I'm giving myself a week before deciding on getting a job or not.
I'm excited.
Oh, and I've done nothing but play the classic Ninja Gaiden games all day.
So, I forgot to take slides of three of my images and there's no way I can do them on my own, nor can the studio do them for me within this time limit. I'm hoping I still have a chance with those. Fuckkk.
I had a headache and some nausea all day but now it's all gone and I'm pretty happy and hyper now. It's like I was storing energy up all day, because I (tried to) sleep through all of it.
At least this weekend sounds promising. I'm going out to eat with some friends tonight. I'm also hanging out with Elisa and we're probably going to a show. Sunday I'm just going to focus on recording music and my senior project.
& Kristen, if you want me to private that last entry so you don't have to see it, let me know.
First of all, happy Easter to those of you to celebrate it. All it really is to me is a boring day where none of my friends can hang out with me and another phonecall to grandmom, as well as a nice dinner.
What I'm really excited about is that both Wolverines and Tarantuloco (or at least TLoco's drummer for now) are down with playing a small show at my house for my graduation party. I'm really excited. :D
All that's left is to see which of my friends can come to it. If it was my birthday party all over again, that would be amazing, especially with the hopeful addition of Greg and Siarra, who couldn't make it. I guess we'll see.
Also, hopefully I'm seeing Boa Narrow's first show since FTKF on Wednesday. It'd be awesome if they had a new album or something out now. I know they were working on getting a live radio broadcast pressed to CD, but I don't really know anything about it.
And I've felt really motivated this weekend. Yesterday I finished some assorted art projects and worked out for like 4 hours, and today I'm completely rearranging/reorganizing my room.
And I'm thinking about selling off some of my stuff. Definitely my GameCube. There's about 50 CD's I'm trying to get rid of, definitely some old books, and probably some PS1 games I don't play anymore. Obviously I'm keeping the good ones, but I still have some really shitty ones.
So yeah, there's my personal life update. Vague comments about things don't suit me.
