Humph.

I could use more hours, but I am glad that my shift today is a short one. I'm just not sure I can pull it up and fake it for a full shift.

To be so introspective...

I don't know how I can love straight edge bands and beers simultaneously.

Floorpunch is great. Judge is great. Down to Nothing is great. Suicide File is great. Youth of Today is great. Championis great. I could go on and on and on.

Happy hour margaritas and girl talk with Kristen was fantastic. I can't go anywhere in this town without seeing someone I know, it's ridiculous.

Flaws and flaws and flaws being revealed text by text.

"We can't go down that road again."

No, I know. And I wouldn't anyway. I just need to know where I am and how I got here.

hm.

My life. Parachute-less. One big joke. A hoax played on the gullible and the trusting. A free fall into some big body of water and the punchline is that I can't swim, I only doggy paddle.

As Kyle would say: EMO.

Fuck yeah. 12-14 hours of sleep since Monday, I think that will make any sane person "emo."

Listen to the following bands:
FIREWORKS (esp the decline of midwestern... song)
BROADWAY CALLS and you'll thank me later.
I have been listening to a lot of Mirah and Laura Veirs also.

Yikes

The mormons just came to the door. I sat very still at the table and watched their shadows on the wall of the stairs. Oh, momo's. It makes me a little homesick.

So I was wigging out last night because I've been asked a bunch in the last year or so whether or not I'm of asian descent. Not like it's really that important, but I just don't see it at all. Started with the cab driver in vegas. Some other friends said they saw it and apparently many of my high school bro friends were under the impression that I was half and possibly adopted. WHAT. I don't even look asian.

I appreciate the texts, facebook comments and twitter DM's saying that you don't see it either. I'm less confused/concerned.

I love Laura.

JH sent me this picture at an art museum in Seattle that reminded him of me, as it's a poster of a trailer, mid century modern design style. And my new goal is to purchase a double wide trailer. (People think this is weird, I think it's genius). $12g for the joint and to move it. Laminate hardwood floors, jacuzzi tub, nice kitchen. I'd leave my tinsel christmas tree up all year and put pink flamingos in flower pots on my little stoop. And I'm not wanting this to be ironic at all, I think it would fit me perfectly. My grandfather and step grandmother (who were married at the VFW in Billings Montana) live in a trailer and my parents used to, and said it was legitimately a good investment to save money to buy a house without ever RENTING anything. Theoretically, buy a trailer, put like, four grand down and pay off the rest over the next two/three years, live in it for as many more until you save enough for a down payment for a house then either rent or sell the place you were in before!




Yeah, I'm weird.

Love this song too:
What's your name you old ball and chain?
You won't roll free tied up this way
It was a good idea when you needed a home
But your best days were spent on your own

Please don't be there the next time that they fall
If anything show up late to let them know
You never would've been there at all
When you're happy with yourself you'll never get much done
I'm not saying live for the downside
Just live your own life

(Some people) Come round
Just to feel up when you feel down
Come around
I hope you come around

Well spite isn't quite revenge and childhood friends
Are nothing but dead ends

We could be our own Messiahs
And walk on frozen lakes
Our stomachs could turn wine to water
When you lose your saving grace
Put your weight on that frozen lake
Up from the downside with you

It must be nice

To have mom and day pay for everything, and then you, with all your "first generation" student loans and grants get tattoos, booze and generally useless things. My rent is paid, but then I pay a car payment, insurance, cell phone, gas, most food, my one credit card (yes, only one) and starting in two months, I have to get student loans to actually pay for my tuition and education.

Besides that, the money my parents generously hooked me up with to get my car fixed, I'm paying back. Slowly, but I'm doing it.


I rarely give a fuck about this sort of thing but it's infuriating to see "adults" whose parents pay every last one of their bills, blowing cash on such useless things and giving me shit for saying no to hanging out because I don't have the money to go do what it is they want to do.


Also, if I can dredge up even $200 (yeah fucking right) I am going to go to CROOKLYNNN or to Seattle for my birthday. I'm probably going to spend it alone anyway, as members of the fab four will be at dudefest and doing floorset. AND my mom is on detail and my dad will probably be in Canada again. Boner.Kill.
