Mel thinks i’m “not bad looking”!!! And she complemented my lovely hair, even though i chopped it all of since then. But, i’m raking in the propositions from gay men, supposedly because i’m “less fem now.” Errr. sure. In other romantic news: there is none. I only see my new crush once weekly, so i have to bide my time until i see her again next week :( … Anyhow, thanx for the mention, Mel! But, who ever said anything about loving myself? You’re quite the cuties, ya know. I wonder what you look like without the hat…

There’s a quarter in my toilet. Don’t ask me how it got in there, but now every time i flush i can hear it dance across the underwater porcelain and come to a rest just barely out of site. It’s annoying the hell out of me, but there’s no way i’m reaching into the toilet up to my elbow to retrieve a stupid quarter. I’ll work up a system with pulleys and magnets before i do that…

blargh. life crept up and smacked me today, since we’re headed into midterm week. in slightly better news, i had my massive madonna review published in the triangle this week. in slightly worse news, last night i played an open mic where i thoroughly slaughtered the main staples of my cache of favourite songs. in order: “inadequacy song” (aborted), “under my skin,” “deadweight,” lucky star,” “never say goodbye,” a short break, “gravel,” “punk,” & “a long time since.” all can be found in the trio archive. “never say goodbye” and “punk” went over especially well.

My life is a set of neverendingly opened parentheses. For example, i’m currently reading articles on Shafted rather than blogging. However, blogging would only be an excuse not to work on my website. However, one might note that, in general, working on my website is a way for me to avoid actually creating new content for my website. And, typically creating new content for my website is a way for me to avoid doing something else that i should do, like working on new songs. But, really, new songs are just an excuse for avoiding actual social interaction, which i shun whenever possible. Especially dating; i’ll have none of that. Of course, even i were writing songs, i ought to be practicing instead. However, i only ever practice what i want to practice on guitar, not anything that will actually help me to better my playing. Anyhow, even if i was bettering my playing, my guitar is simply an excuse not to do schoolwork. So, really i should be doing schoolwork. However, none of the classes i have right now really pertain to my major, so really i should be in 18 credits worth of different classes. Even if i was in other classes, i’d still be a Journalism major, which is really a bit of a cop-out, considering my skills in other more quantative subjects. Or, at least i should be in a more rigourous curriculum of Journalism, but instead i’m at Drexel. I’m at Drexel because i dragged my feet too much when i was supposed to be looking at various Liberal Arts schools. I was only looking at those schools because i hadn’t decided on a major, and also because i had stopped truly applying myself in school years earlier. And, why had i stopped applying myself? Mostly because i was too busy on the internet and playing guitar.

There, does that make you feel any better about yourself?
