It's 4am and I have not gone to bed yet

Normally I wouldn't mind this in the least, but I have no reason to be up right now. I have a ton of work to get tomorrow (today), and before noon at that. I just can't help it lately. I keep saying I'll fix my sleep schedule, but every night come 1am I'm sucked into something fascinating on the internet and I just can't tear myself away. It's starting to interfere with my class attendance.

tl;dr: I f'd up my sleep schedule for no reason and can't seem to fix it.

Today was Record Store Day! It went quite well. We had three bands play, and everything went well! Which was a shock to me. We were supposed to have four, but one band dropped out right after the third band played. And we had a radio station! But that was rather uneventful. I got some pretty neat stuff though. Our store was pretty packed.

Woo, Record Store Day! I saw a really good Boston-area band last night because of such nonsense. And got a some great vinyl.

Man fuck The Wire how'd it get to 3 am? This show is gonna be bad for me because I'm gonna be saying 'motherfucker' a whole lot more, I want to play chess again and I'm gonna be gushing about the damn thing constantly and none of my friends have seen it or in most cases even heard about it.
Do what I did and have a terrible, terrible night.

(this only works if your friends are the sympathetic sort)

I don't think any of my friends would be nearly so accommodating. Or maybe they would but there are a bunch of things I'd do before calling them, a couple of which would render me unable to call anyone (for example: drinking heavily).

On a different note (no, really) I'm all out of gin and I need a new variety to try. Something less citrusy and less dark maybe. I wish I could open bottles to smell them at the bottle store.

You do realise it is possible to have a positive impact on the world without realising it right? I'm just trying to say that you are a solid dude and solid dudes are in short supply and if you start acting like a cunt just because the big picture is impossible to see all at once, it will be a tragedy for dude kind.

So blog thread tonight was an excellent night, danced and did shots with a bunch of my friends, sang the June Cleaver part of Jackson by Johnny Cash with one at karaoke, then we went clubbing and then I kissed a pretty girl a bunch of times and I am so fucking glad most of my friends are pretty girls with their heads screwed on right who want to see me get laid because I would never have a hope in hell with women without them because I am a hopeless dork.

In fact the most amazing thing about tonight is that it was the best night out I've had in a while, VIRTUALLY SOBER. I mean I did a few pretty intense shots and shotgunned a double rum and coke early on in the night but jesus man considering the guy I am meant to be working with at 6 am couldn't figure out that this woman was transgender, I'm feeling PRETTY FUCKING SENSIBLE right now. Honestly, I'm feeling really good about myself that I managed to have such a good time without getting shitfaced.

Came home early because everyone I was out with wound up going back to the place I work at, where I have to be at work in 3 hours but I am still wired enough I can hold out till some sweet sweet caffeine later on.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

You have kissed a pretty girl from work in a nightclub that you have been sweet on for a while. Said girl found your "I need some way to stay awake for two hours or I will fall asleep and not go to work and get fired" line (I don't consider this a line however and consider it a valid argument) incredibly endearing but didn't want to just ditch her friends to come home with me because of gossips or some crap.

Brett you are easily one of my favorite posters right now.

Johnny, you are a good person. You are well versed in different subjects also.

Guys, last time I got a tattoo, I remember it hurting more. I got three done and I'm feeling virtually nothing except for tons of awesome. Today I help someone move and we get free furniture. Next sunday I help the Master of my school move, and, we get free weapons and weapon racks. Yes!

EDIT UPDATE: If you tell someone that you are going to help them Sunday morning at around 11am, maybe you should go to sleep before 7am, knowing that you'll want to get between 5 and 8 hours of sleep? Especially since you know that you generally make up for all the sleep that you don't get Friday and Saturday on Sunday? Maybe that'd be a good use of time management skills?

Emaline · « **Reply #2522 on:** 19 Apr 2009, 11:51 »

Pants, man, your complaints sound like you are talking about me.

My aunt was supposed to help me move. It was supposed to be early this morning, 11am-ish. I didn't get out of bed until 10:30. And nothing is packed. Basically, I am a lazy bum.

And it was pouring down rain. My front yard is still a mud pit from when they dug it up. We can't park cars on it, let alone my aunt's huge truck. And I am not dragging my bed through the mud. Plus most of my furniture is wooden, and I didn't want it out in the rain.

(I am lazy! I know it. I rescheduled for next weekend.)

Linds, that is totally a great plan. I hung out with my best friend, who I haven't really hung out with in forever, this past Friday. It was awesome. She super brightened up my life.

This might make you feel better actually, especially if they are the birds that won't shut their whore mouths.

Kris there are so many reasons you are still not the worst person in the world. Me intentionally ignoring my dad's wedding anniversary is one of them. To be fair, it's his fault for scheduling his wedding 2 days before my sister's birthday. I also just plain hate his cunt of a wife. So yeah you're still a decent person.

Dear blog,

I recorded my little piece of the song. I only got the second half of verse 2 from "Let The Sunshine In" as well as the massive choral ending, but my piece, pathetic in comparison to the other dudes' pieces, is probably the best-sounding out of all of them. I am pleased!

Love,
Me!

I know, I'm super stoked. She lives out in Illinois and I've just been kind of moping lately because I really miss her and I know she does the same, so it'll be really great for the both of us. Plus that means if I do get my ears pierced next weekend, she can come with me and tell me not to be scared or silly. c:

Now the great challenge consists of sneaking the entire "don't keep" pile out of the house without my mother wanting to dig through it because she will take every single thing, stare at it for five minutes and go "aaaaww we can't throw that away, that was the cardboard box your xbox 360 came in, it might come in handy some day" and then two hours later go into a fit about how the house is always messy. IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. YOU CAN'T KEEP EVERYTHING EVER AND STILL HAVE A TIDY HOUSE.

The string bit is easy. Just buy a new set. 5 euros. Make sure they're the same size as the ones you've got on there (I'd recommend 10-46 if you've never adjusted anything on your guitar at all, since that is factory standard for the overwhelming majority of brands).

That could also be part of problem number 2 for you. It's a newbie mistake, very common. If you use a different gauge of string, your intonation gets fucked in the neck. If you like a bigger or smaller size than the factory standard, there is material HERE (in eye-melting Web 1.0 form) for figuring out how to re-intonate your bridge (key: flat = too low, sharp = too high).

(thank you Eris, that is basically THE THREAD until I get back up to Alaska)

Guys! I got 100% on my English Mid-Term! Although I am completely baffled on how a four page essay about culture that used a quote from a Jawbreaker song is the only one that got 100% in my entire grade. Maybe my teachers are crazy. Oh well. Also this entire week is going to be extremely fun since it will be the last time I have to perform my plays (actual performances this week). Then on Friday, extremely awesome cast party. Last semester I didn't go home for two days.

One more thing. Yesterday I found the perfect way to relax. I went out, bought new earbuds (the best I've ever owned), ate some Yam Fries, then relaxed and listened to a bunch of Henry Rollins' comedy albums (A Rollins in the Wry is my favorite). It was fantastic when ended with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Patrick it also just sounds like shit and I'd much rather play my Epiphone Les Paul

Blog Thread: I went to bed a few hours ago. Suddenly my cell phone started ringing and I picked it up and it was a friend of mine who is a russ this year. I asked him why he was calling me at 2 in the morning, and he answered that he was really hungry and didn't have any food and was camping in a roundabout roughly one kilometre from my house and asking if could I please bring him some food, man, please, I'm starving here and I don't want to die of hunger in a roundabout. So I got out of bed and made him a couple of cheese sandwiches with tomatoes and ham and made it real nice and spicy and grilled it up so he wouldn't be hungry. I put on clothes and went over to the roundabout and there he was, sitting by a campfire in a roundabout with some friends of him. His friends were grilling sausages and hamburgers. In a roundabout. At two in the morning. I gave him the cheese sandwiches and a yoghurt and he said thanks and then ignored me, and then I went home.

tl;dr I got up at 2 in the morning to make cheese sandwiches for a dude that barely acknowledged my existence while his friends were grilling food two fucking feet away. This is my life.

So why'd you give him?

That sounds really bad but it is part of a long proud tradition of the cellarman basically being utter piss wrecks and ruining it for everyone else. Now I know the head cellarman is down as fuck.

Once upon a time, I was on the floor, behind the counter, at work looking for something, when I glanced up and saw a dude wearing a Roast Beef hoodie. I jumped up quickly, which I think scared him because he didn't see me, which made me all awkward, so I quickly said "nice achewood hoodie! Its my favorite comic!" He looked perplexed, so I quickly ducked back down to the floor.

Somebody make my chest stop falling apart and decaying and OHMYFUCKINGGOD MAKE IT STOP ITCHING. It looks terrible right now. It is dying. I am dying. My chest looks like a god damn zombie got to it. I look like I've been shot in the heart because I've got a god damn piece of gauze taped to the middle of my chest.

Also, Cursive show Friday. My choices of concert going buddies include my gay friend, who is usually a downer, but was enjoyable to be around at the last concert we went to together, except when he started a fight, or a guy I do not really know, but who I can probably get drunk and sleep with, which sounds pretty appealing right now.

I had a fucking awesome weekend!

Friday, after work:
5:00-6:30 - hang out after work and smoke blunt with friends
7:30-12:30 - Attend fantastic event called the Open Mind Salon. Basically a friendly guy has started a monthly discussion group at his house in Philly, and he invites a bunch of people and a different speaker each month to have an open discussion on some interesting topic (which, I gather, is generally associated with psychedelics and/or consciousness-related nerdery). This month the speaker was Dr. Neal Goldsmith, an extremely interesting, accomplished, and capable psychologist who happens to be one of the most vocal proponents of psychedelics currently in academia. He was wonderful to listen to and discuss with, and I reconnected with a party friend from the last Burning-Man-related event I attended and met a pretty girl who also happened to be really cool and offered her number to me. Winner.
1:00-4:00 - Attend neighborhood party with co-worker, take care of her tripping-and-nauseous boyfriend, crash at Pi Lam (my old on-campus house).

Saturday:
8:15 - Wake up on couch (for some reason), walk to Clark Park festival/flea market, talk to a pretty jewelry maker who sold me a pendant a while ago, and pick up an Alan Watts book.
9:00-11:30 - Hang out at home, shower, internet. Go back to campus.
12:30 - Eat strawberry/banana/psilocybin mushroom smoothies with friends.
1:00-3:30 - Trip very nicely in beautiful weather, hang out with tripping kids who are impressed by how "in tune" and "relaxed" I am (heh), dance to Shpongle, enjoy self thoroughly.
3:30-6:00 - Return to Clark Park festival, have pretty jewelry girl fix said pendant with new clasp, run into friends, enjoy weather some more, return to campus, hang out, munch on carrots and coffee cake, have refreshingly comfortable conversation with friends I am attracted to and who are not attracted to me. Come down from mushrooms very smoothly.
7:00-10:00 - Visit a couple of older friends who treat me to homemade fries, mussels, scallops, and fantastic pot brownies.
11:00-1:00 - Attend crushingly good Acid Mothers Temple concert, stoned out of my fucking gourd. Get balls-awesome poster and T-shirt.
2:00-3:00 - Receive fantastic blowjob, have excellent sex, cuddle, fall asleep.

Today (Sunday):
12:30-1:30 - Wake up, have sex, go back to sleep.
4:30-6:30 - Wake up again, cuddle, talk, and shower with girl, invite girl to my parents' for dinner.
7:30-9:00 - Have delicious dinner, walk girl back to her place.
9:30-12:00 - Smoke spliff and play Magic with friend.
12:30-now - Internet, sleep.

I win at life this weekend, I guess.

God I'm so fucking itchy!!! I woke up yesterday with a few bug bites on my legs.... hmm, I'm the only one in the house with bites, so maybe it was an irritable spider? I'm not convinced. On my legs, at this moment, are 14 fucking bites. They are swollen and red and itchy as all fuck. Faye has started scratching, too. I'm scared to think it might be bed bugs. What I've read is giving me mixed hopes. The way they look seems like it could be, but the fact that there are SO fucking many of them at once contradicts some things I read. I guess they only need to feed like every 2 weeks, and I have been bombarded with irritation. All I know is that now that I have the idea of bugs in my bed in my head, I can't sleep at all. I can feel them crawling on me, in my head! It's creepy and itchy and I"m tired and grumpy and just want to go to sleep but grr! *scratch scratch scratch* If it IS a bed bug, where the HELL did it come from? Why is it only MY room with the problem? Maybe it is a spider thing and they're attracted to the lotion I've been wearing lately? I dunno. I'm gonna hope it's spiders, not wear my lotion tomorrow, wash my sheets (double check the mattress for bed bug evidence anyway), and get some frickin calamine lotion. This fucking blows.

I had a really nice day.

I got invited out hiking with some classmates, which was a slightly depressing experience in that I realized everyone else but me in my program (which I've been in 7 months) has been socializing with each other before now, basically, but mostly it was really nice because (1) the place is absolutely gorgeous, (2) my boyfriend's friends are all nice guys but sometimes I get tired of a social life that consists of smoking weed and playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and (3) I really do like these women and enjoy talking with them and would like someday to consider them friends.

I worry sometimes, though, because they speak with such a bizarre mix of maternal concern and head-shaking disdain of the eighteen-year-old freshmen they're teaching, and I can only assume that for some reason they seem to have accepted me as different from those freshmen? It helps to remember that adults are nothing like middle schoolers and most of them are willing to give me the benefit of the doubt and nobody is going to be--none of them want to be--mean.
