Blahg Tread.

oh yes. Went to a play my friend played a role in with my girlfriend. It was about a school shooting, and the writing was so bad. So bad that sometimes hearing the actors speak their lines gave me the same reaction as watching interpretive dance. The acting was really good, though! After this me and the friend and the girlfriend and the cast went for fucking pizza! Me and my girlfriend left early because my girlfriend was in a bad mood because her mother is sort of a cunt! Excellence! We go for pizza at another place. Girlfriend's mother calls me over and over and over. I answer, yell at her, and go eat. She calls back, I apologize for being harsh about it, but stand firm on the fact that she is obnoxious and upsets all parties involved. It wasn't the best thing to do! Whoops. In any case, me and Gina talk about why she was angry and we were completely honest and open and it was the best thing ever and it really energized me a bunch! Turns out I had ignored her somewhat, and kind of pissed her off because it added onto the stress coming from her mother. Whoops again!

But hey, man. We get back to my place and we are in incredible moods. The night goes by in an exemplary fashion. She stays over. GREAT NIGHT BLOG THREAD.

Also, Girlfriend's Mother Murdering Me Status: Maybe?

Don't worry hon, setting up a wireless router is piss easy. I can do it no worries, and usually they have a wizard that will do everything for you. Don't forget to set a network key so that other people can't use it! Also do not be afraid to call the assistance hotline, those people are always really helpful. As is their job I guess!

Yesterday was pretty neat, I treated myself to breakfast at a cafe and went to all the lovely vintage stores and bought a cute silver plaited choker and a big black coat, then I cleaned up my house whilst listening to some old CDs really loud, then I went out with Ben and Heather and Hannah. We had Thai and then went to see my favourite band! I am really happy and everything was so much fun. I am still at Ben's though, ho hum, and I need to walk home. Oh well.

Guys I have a text-stalker now.

What on earth is text-stalker?

It is an anonymous girl who has somehow managed to get my phone number even though she is a 5-hour drive away from me. She wants me to visit her city. Actually, she wants me to visit HER, but at first she just wanted me to visit the city. She says I should spend more time with my fans. If she is representative of all my fans, though, I think I will decline.

Dear blag,

Last night the Kosovars, the Macedonian girl (yes the one I shared a bed with) and I went to see my buddy Sam play with his band. Suddenly they decided to take a short set break and they let us play a song. We decided on "Zombie" by the Cranberries, and it was Arti on guitar, Nita on the mic, Labi on keys (he carried the bass line) and me on drums (Ardiana, the Macedonian chick, didn't feel like joining in because she has no confidence in her talent).

It has been 3 years since I played drums in enough frequency that I could still be considered proficient, but apparently I was better than the other drummer anyway. And we truly slayed last night. My mom got video, hopefully that'll wind up on YouTube soon because I am really proud of that.

Oh and I haven't fooled around with any other girls lately so I guess I'm okay for now but if it happens again I'm going to have to cut our losses and stop doing things that can hurt somebody I care about. I love her and I want to stay with her but if I'm going to be doing things that would hurt her if she knew, I can't stay in this relationship. I don't give a fuck about my own feelings, I can deal. It's Tara I want to protect.

Love,
Me

Woo, finally I am free. That visit was absolutely painful, but hey, confidence boost! I thought I was weird and awkward, but I'm nowhere near that bad. At least I answer questions, instead of just going "Dunno.." or not answering at all, and just staring at the person who asked the question or the wall.

So the guy that books all the awesome shows in town is getting desperate. Last night was Mac Lethal, Soulcrate Music (PROF AND RAHZWELL!) and a local hip hop troupe that I am friends with.

I was drinking gin and tonics and I don't remember much, but apparently when I got home he was "I wanna fuck you"ing me again and this morning I checked my texts. I wrote him back "actually I think that is kind of gross". Drunk Brittany is a BITCH but I guess he still didn't get it because I'd straight passed out and this morning there were eight texts from him all about how he wants to motorboat me.

And I talked (kind of) to the Bartender Who Gives Me Weird Looks. I still don't know why he gives me weird looks but at least now hopefully he'll give me just a nod to acknowledge me and not the Weird Look.

You should have come to Grand Forks with me. Went to a drag show and went dancing and had a smashing good time!

But Liz! I talked to the Bartender Who Gives Me Weird Looks! I have had a weird sort of crush on him for a while because he's mysterious. And I talked to him! And Elijah, the boy with the awesome mustache and for some reason I keep telling him he is Daniel Day Lewis. He does not look like DDL at all, but he does have awesome facial hair. Like DDL.

Plus I loooooooooooove hip hop shows way more than indie rock shows. Like. Okkervil River is pretty much my favorite band, but I'd def see any hip hop over them because it's just way better live. Sorry musicians, no matter how good you are when I am at your show, I'm still hoping you'll turn into MF Doom or something!

dear Mr. blog thread,

the Rescue was... I don't even know how to say it (I'm hesitant to use words that make it sound like I had a good time, because it's not about me having a good time, it's about bringing help to those who need it). So many amazing people talked to us and we wrote letters and even though the war's been going on for so long it feel so great to know you're part of something trying to stop it, even if peace talks have been unsuccessful so far. If we bring enough attention to it, we can fix this. Here's a basic summary for anyone who's unfamiliar with it: out in Northern Uganda a man called Joseph Kony is leading a rebel army called the Lord's Resistance Army, and he's been abducting children to fight (forcing them to kill, even people from their own villges), and mutilating others, as well as outright massacring Ugandan citizen. It's been going on for over 20 years and there's so much more to it than that, so go read about it, and do something.

here's a link to the event (and Invisible Children, the group behind it): The Rescue

Dear blag,

Tomorrow is going to suck because I still haven't managed to break things off with my lady. I haven't even gotten up the cojones to talk to her.

Basically the plan is to do my best to try to split things off without mentioning the fact that I am doing Bad Things. I just don't think she'll believe the distance thing when I tried it before. I just have decided, after plenty of discussion with friends on the topic (and Rachel, you definitely had a lot of influence on that), that I'd rather just break up with her and not know about the Bad Things.

I just hope she doesn't do what she did the last time I tried to break up with her over the distance and spend an hour crying and screaming about how I "don't love her anymore" because damn it I do but I just can't do this anymore. And my life is not going to get any more stationary within the next two years, I know that for a fact.

I basically hate the person I am this week.

Love,
Me

dear blog thread (again): I have not had a decent amount of sleep in over a week, and have had almost none for several days in a row. How much effort should i put into revising a rough draft of a massively important paper (read: most of my fourth quarter grade), if I am a decent writer, and my teacher has not actually read my rough draft?

Or should I just go get more energy drinks (which I would normally never touch, but I'm desperate)?

Dear blaaarghle thread,

Today I got in a MSN verbal sparring match with a boy whom I dislike.

He's attempted in the past to split my girlfriend and I up.

So I agreed with said girlfriend to text him from her phone to set him up and get him off her case.

It worked.

So I thought.

Now he's yelling and ranting about how sad I am and how I do not trust my girlfriend.

He's trying to convince me she was being flirty with him.

I don't believe him.

And, well, the point of all this is...

I think physical violence is going to be resorted to some time soon.

Woohoo.

Shane, next time you're in Boston I will hopefully not be vomiting constantly, and I will come play catch. I love catch.

Anyway hey Blog Thread, I had pretty much the best weekend I can remember. I drove up to Hamilton College immediately after classes on Friday. I dropped out of Hamilton College 2 years ago, and haven't been back since, and have only seen 1 of my friends from there since. So I went to crash for the weekend, and we, in no particular order: played a ton of drinking games; did lots of non-gaming drinking; went to a documentary about the varsity streaking team (which was hilarious); went to a party put on by the streaking team with good live music, then a great DJ, and in the spirit of the event, a massive amount of naked/half naked people (it was the best party I have ever been to, by far); hung out on a field and watched lightning illuminate the entire sky; hung out with and met a ton of cool people, rekindled old friendships, made new ones; and basically just had the most bitchin' time possible. I am thinking that right now, life is fucking awesome. The weather was awesome all weekend too, which is kinda odd for upstate NY.

I am totally happy. It's cool.

Hey Blog Thread!

So, recently, one of very best friend's dog died.

The weekend before, he and I were sort of supposed to hang out, but I sort of cancelled on him, by not calling or getting in touch with him at all the day of or the night before scheduled hang outs. I didn't think he'd think anything of it, because he has done it to me a few times, and our hang outs rarely go as planned. However, he contacted me that night making sure everything was ok.

Anyway, his dog died this past week, and he has been obviously really upset. He said he was going to spend this weekend hiding from the world. Later in the week, when it seemed like he was kinda cheering up, so I asked if he wanted to attempt our plans again. He agreed, and I was supposed to call him if I ended up in his neck of the woods.

I didn't, but I wanted to call him to make sure everything was alright. He is still rather down, and when I asked if he was feeling any better, he said "it's complicated." which being a worried, overbaring, motherly, overthinking girl, I kinda am concerned that it might be something more than just his dog dying.

I hate not being able to cheer people up. I've been feeling pretty up beat/not suicidally depressed lately, and he has always been there for me, and if I could I would give him at least half of my happiness to cheer him up. Sigh.

So on thursday we had a guest speaker and I was asked to be one of the grad students to take her out for lunch (free lunch is awesome!). It turns out that Angela Douglas was the speaker, and she's one of the most prominent scientists in symbiosis research. It was really awesome!

Then last night I went to a few parties as a part of spring weekend. My favorite party was a combination of everyone in the apartment complex starting a huge bonfire with their furniture and an awesome live band that played both originals and covers (they did a great version of talking head's psycho killer). Then at the end of the night I got really high and passed out at around 5 in the morning. It was a good night!

I have been slowly going Study Mad. Syntax exam on Tuesday should be no problem, but the Cellular Biology and Metabolism exam I have the next day is killing me. The fact that I also have my Computer Science exam the same day makes it even worse, even though I've been doing pretty well in that course.

Basically biology is so much to memorise that it's hard to think about anything else. And I don't even know all that much.
