[15 Jul 2009|09:10am] Damnit, I hate being confused! to disco

[10 Jul 2009|10:46pm] What does mean when someone tells you to stop by their restaurant? Do you eat, or just pop in? And what if it's a nice restaurant? 2 last chance :: to disco

WATCH OUT [28 Jun 2009|08:52pm] I know a lot of celebrities have been dying expectantly, blah blah blah. But after Billy Mays also dying at 50... I was thinking about it more. I mean, that's not old at all. My aunt just turned 50, wtf. And today I learned Joan Jett is 50. I'd be devastated if either of them died. It would be crazy and sudden. But you know, things come in threes... so, other celebrities who turned 50 in 2008: Ellen Degeneres Michelle Pfeiffer Prince Sharon Stone Madonna Viggo Mortensen Jamie Lee Curtis Kevin Bacon Chris Colombus Fabio Flavor Flav (what) Hugh Laurie Irene Cara (Flashdance song) Jeff Foxworthy Jennifer Granholm Keith Olbermann Kevin Sorbo Lita Ford (also a Runaway like Joan Jett) Megan Mullally! Sade Scott Hamilton Shaun Cassidy And there's more like Andrea Bocelli.. but I don't know if that means anything to you guys, haha. They'd all be sad, mainly because it'd be an untimely death. Personally though, I'd be sad especially for Ellen, Hugh Laurie and Grandholm. to disco

[11 Jun 2009|07:24pm] Back to the drawing boardcoffee shop, writing. A midnight experiment, To see if I can still feel. With an eclipsed moon Red like lambrusco, I could feel and hear my blood Racing and pounding in my ears. We pooled together our loneliness. I'm not sure if I resurrected human compassion In just an hour of dreaming, Or if I made things worse. You were always the sensible one, Able to detach emotions from your reasoning. to disco

[12 May 2009|05:22pm] "You keep reading those romance novels, and you'll be a lonely soul." I'm sitting at Java Hutt, trying to book some shows for Holly Mae and the Painted Room. These two women came out and sat down in the patio with me to smoke. The one who is preaching turns to me, and says, "Excuse me, I don't want to offend somebody who doesn't even know me." She is giving a disclaimer of some sort, or I guess asking my permission to continue with her advice. I wave to her that it's alright, "Oh, it's fine!" "Get yourself some dick. Just get yourself some dick or something. Get yourself some vagina. Some dog. Some cat. Horse. You know beastiality is in right now. Yeah, it's the new black." I may be coming back to edit this entry and add some more, if the conversation stays this interesting... 2 last chance :: to disco

[11 May 2009|02:37pm] Blehh. I had a rough day yesterday. I broke up with my not boyfriend. (Really, I just let this guy down, but still felt bad about it) I thought I'd get to see my aunt yesterday, but she wasn't at my grandma's. :( I wonder where she goes during the day.. She says she hasn't been spending time with friends. I did watch "the game" though with my granddad. That was in fact awesome. I had felt a high this week, and it was great, but I think I've come down from it this weekend. A bit frustrating, when you have a defining moment, and want to get on with your life, but you're still left where you were before. So I was feeling a bit anxious and ran off to Ann Arbor/Ypsi. It's kind of nice to go somewhere no one knows you're at. And now I'm laying in the grass, in the sun. I had a nice long talk with Mandy on the phone though. I've really missed her. Reminded me of all the summer plans I want to fulfill. I need to get a new bike chain and tires.*** And now my aunt just got a hold me. I will probably see my brother/nephews before leaving, and then stop to visit with her on the way home. to disco

[01 May 2009|01:27pm] After a week of being a recluse, I finally got out of the house. She would have wanted that. I grabbed drinks at Sidetrack with my MT/guitarist friends. Then Clare, Neil and I went out for beer and pool playing. It felt good to be out, and it reminded me that it is possible to still have fun. Last night, I danced my pants off (quite literally, almost) and sweated out all the alcohol I drank this week. With the stress of this month and especially this week, I haven't really been sleeping or eating well. I'm down five pounds. That may change though once I fully move back home. Thank you, those people who made me laugh, and those who worry about me. to disco

[24 Apr 2009|07:01pm] I hate this. Now that I'm older, I actually want to spend time with my family. But now it's too late with her. I never got the chance. After lunch with David at the Aut Bar and the library, I just slept all day. to disco

At the Ugly Mug [23 Apr 2009|12:08pm] [ mood | $$$$$ ] I just wrote out my summer objectives, and it was very satisfying. It included different sections for: Work, Projects, Purchases, Places to go, and my Birthday Week.  Looking at it written down, I actually feel better about my work situation. Marching band instructing still isn't a lot per hour, but the stipend is pretty great. I won't disclose how much, but Elon did offer me another job. It would be teaching summer band for three weeks = $400. Which is pretty great for just 2 hours a day. I haven't decided yet, but I should probably take it... right? As for an actual part-time job, my goal is: Aim for barista position, preferably at a small business place. If not, then I'd say Starbucks (benefits!). Most (good) cafes want experienced workers (which is an enigma, people have to start somewhere!). The Ypsi-Arbor area has a surplus of coffee-shops, so I want to get experience in now before I apply at places in the fall. Other than that, my ideal places to work would be a bakery or tea house, or something outside like painting or landscaping (which is good pay too!). So far I've just gotten leads on a photography place, and on a book-binding place (hahaa). The places are a little bit far and have longer hours than I'd like. Last resort - Coldstone Creamery. I've worked there before. People are constantly quitting, and they are often hiring. I actually didn't mind it before, because I liked mixing ice cream (and the free stuff I got!), but the pay is meh and customers were sassy. I'm also hoping Gross Pointe NHS has an end of the year choir concert they'll call me in for. That's always an easy $250 paycheck. 2 last chance :: to disco

[20 Apr 2009|01:49pm] In other news: Friday after classes got out, Shannon and I checked out poetry from the library. We laid in the grass of the Diag and read, ate an orange and banana bread, played the harmonica. BEAUTIFUL And if the Ugly Mug and Cafe Luwak weren't already enough, I've fallen in love again. Beezy's Cafe is wonderful, and the manager has random outbursts of singing jazz and blues. <3 to disco

[20 Apr 2009|01:30pm] [ mood | autonomous ] I'm finally starting to free up some time. There were so many things to do this weekend. So many things I could have done Saturday- seen Steve Carell, Sufi music and dance at the art museum, local bands, an Arrested Development play. But for some reason you visited, and we ended up not doing much of anything, wasting time. I would have done it all, but I missed it out of some sort of stupid obligation to you. If we were actually exclusive or official, I'm pretty sure we would have gotten into an argument. 1 last chance :: to disco

[14 Apr 2009|12:42am] Hey, any gay friends of mine/yours want to perform music on my friend David's radio show? Called Closets are for Clothes. Can be covers or originals. Songs by gays or about gay issues. Or maybe just about love! to disco

[12 Apr 2009|08:33pm] Why did this week have to be so hard? I had been stoic for so long, but lately I've been crying here and there, seconds at a time. I'll be fine, and then something isolated will trigger me. Luckily, Amanda's housewarming was last night which broke up the insanity. I could temporarily forget about things and met some new people. This pretty girl told me I had a haunting voice, that 'needs to be recorded if it hasn't already.' After a request she was silent, "Sorry, I'm just mesmerized by you." This next week can't possibly be worse, right? 1 last chance :: to disco

[09 Apr 2009|05:03pm] "...she'd need to build the very walls that her music brings down." to disco

[08 Apr 2009|10:46pm] This is actually pretty good. 2 last chance :: to disco

[08 Apr 2009|02:57pm] All I need is to get through this week so I can have band practice, take a trip to Ohio, housewarming party, have my mommy give me a hair cut, eat Easter dinner. Blahhhh. I've been slacking so much! to disco

Chrissie Hynde, I love you. [06 Apr 2009|11:34pm] "I don't handle alcohol very well. One drink and I have to go to my bed. Two drinks and I have to go to your bed." -- Chrissie Hynde The legendary lead singer of the Pretenders is known for writing some of the most well-known songs in rock and roll history, but she's also famous for living the rock and roll lifestyle. In fact, she's become notorious for the outrageous things she says and does after pounding back a few -- and if recent headlines are any indication, she shows no signs of mellowing with age. Two years ago, while performing at a San Francisco stop on the Lilith Fair tour, Hynde decided to tell the audience a few jokes. According to Synthesis.net, she asked the largely feminist crowd, "What do you say to a woman who has two black eyes? You shouldn't have to say anything. She's already been told twice." Ouch! In 1995, Hynde managed to get into a physical altercation with Carly Simon -- at a Joni Mitchell concert. "Chrissie was a bit intoxicated and was yelling out during Joni's performance," explains Carly Simon on her Web site. "I asked her to be a little quieter. Stupid me." Like any rock star worth her salt, Hynde began yelling more loudly, and eventually, choked Simon (but "in a loving way," Carly maintains). According to Melody Maker magazine, Hynde's publicist asserted that Chrissie was "just hugging" Carly. Adding insult to injury, Chrissie chose to apologize to Mitchell, rather than Simon. In an interview with Scott Wilson, she said, "I probably pissed off about two-thirds of the audience, and Joni probably thought I was a total asshole. Not that this excuses me, but I had drunk an entire pint of Jagermeister, and I thought she was so fucking awesome. I'll never be treated with the reverence Joni Mitchell gets. I'm not the musician she is, and she's not the asshole I am." A Jagermeister toast to Chrissie Hynde! 1 last chance :: to disco

Surviving school [19 Mar 2009|01:49pm] To make it through my bio lecture, I'm talking with my sister on AIM, having Ruth relay to me Home Improvement episodes. 6 last chance :: to disco
