By the way, if I could make one minor suggestion, this may be paranoia talking but try and find out what is that's going on. There may be more to this than simply two friends falling out over specifics of a deportation agreement.

I've seen both friends since this came to light and I haven't pressed the subject, but the one who conveyed the false information is not acting like there's anything wrong. I'm inclined to believe that this is just a big misunderstanding.

Anyway, finished song, or at least, as close as I've come to finishing a song-

joe every time you post that first photo it bugs me a bit because i feel like it's kind of "hey, look at this nerdy kid" but then when you look closer it's really just a totally normal looking kid with bad glasses. why did you pick those glasses? are you that old that when you were a kid glasses weren't cool yet?

[öde]

Either Kim Jong-Il was a fashion icon wherever Joe was living at the time or he was so far ahead of the curve that he was wearing huge 80s glasses years before it was popular with hipsters.

Philly has a monthly dubstep party now!  I'm so happy about that.

I went to the launch party last night and saw Joe Nice drop some absolutely gutcrunching bass.  My knees still hurt because while I was dancing I was basically 8 inches shorter than usual.

It was awesome.

[negative creep]

Man, dubstep parties are awesome. I went to one and the bass rocked me so hard that I didnd't even notice how drunk I was. I was Ssoooo drunk, though. When i left i almost couldn't walk.

[Vendetagainst]

So apparently a senior at my school was shot and killed walking home from school. The killer's motivation and identity are not known.
The boy was eighteen.

Dear blorg thread,

Bah! Tomorrow, I'll be beginning my darned military service, which will delay my studies by six months. The odd thing is... I've been actually getting quite excited about it. Excited, but at the same time annoyed.

[Jace]

I have around $500 right now and I've already paid off all of my bills for this half of the month. Holy shit this is awesome!

[Metope]

Dear blog thread,

So this weekend went from pretty cool to pretty boring very fast. Yesterday my friend canceled our movie plans because she wanted to spend some time with her boyfriend (she lives with her boyfriend and haven't seen me in about three weeks), and today another friend canceled our go out to drink and dance plans. Her reason for this is being sick and I can totally understand that, but bluuuh boring weekend!

What I've learned: Always be more than two people when you plan something, so that if one cancels you're not stuck alone in your apartment on a Saturday night.

Man, everyone is sick nowadays! My youngest brother was sick last weekend/early this week, and then my mom got sick, and now I'm sick. And two of the three people I've spoken to on my floor have been sick this past week, and more than half of their families.

I had a fever of 39,5/103 degrees this morning. Took some Paracet, which is helping, but I still feel pretty awful. However, lying in bed watching skiflying and The Mentalist isn't too bad now that the headache is less pressing. And I may get some knitting and planning done, since exercising obviously isn't going to happen.

Dear Blog Thread,


Being in love with friends who are taken AND not interested sucks. A lot.

Actually, I refuse to believe that I could actually love someone, and moreso, this is not love at all, so I am not actually in love with anyone. Its not lust either, not just lust anyway. I like more than this dude's awesome body and hotness. I love talking to him and hearing his voice, and so many other things to.

But its not love. And it isn't lust. I just have a ridiculous impossible crush on an impossible friend. Who I happen to feel very very close to. Sadly. And he is taken(which in my fucked up head, is good news, and I am really happy and excited for him. Le sigh). And even when we were fucking around, he wasn't interested in much more(which I was fine with because he was filling a need for me, and I wasn't nearly as emotionally attached to him as I am now). But now that need he was filling I decided wasn't something I wanted just anyone to do, and he got a girlfriend, and now we talk more often than we used to now, and everything is pathetic because you can tell he is a lot happier than he used to be, and I love that, and that is why I love talking to him, and I know its because he got a ladyfriend, and its stupid that I have this stupid pathetic crush on him.

And its all really pathetic. And it hurts. And my instant reaction to get over it is to go out and have those needs filled by random people who I will never see again, and while it may make me moderately content, it'll make things worse and is depressing and fuck I don't want to do that.


Also, I need to move to somewhere where the Faint play a lot, and always get free tickets/on the guestlist. So I can just dance forever.

[Josefbugman]

*hug* it seems like you need one.

I was in the exact same situation (genders reveresed) for three years, the boyfriends came and went and I just wanted her to be happy. It hurt, it still does if I am honest and it will probably continue to until you can find someone else you can connect with and feel for. But its possible to deal with, concentrate on other things and deal with the feeling as best as you can, talk it over with other friends if you think they will understand.

I can't say going out and doing the underpants charleston would be what I would choose to do in this situation, maybe you could try and think about it, gain perspective on it and then start thinking about falling in love again.

Anyway, just my 2 pence, probably worthless, but its honest.

[Cire27]

Blog thread, what does it mean for me to have sexual dreams about a friend that I would never ordinarily be interested in?  It's not that she isn't attractive, it's that she is with one of my best friends.  It's quite disturbing to wake up in the middle of the night with my adrenaline pumping and feeling like I just ran into a wall of air.  Especially since I'm pretty much only interested in one girl at the moment.

Ugh, being a teenager.

It means you're a normal male teenager.

Blog Thread,

List of things I drank last night
3 Margaritas
2 Miller Lites
A flaming shot
Half of my friend's martini
A jack und coke

Man, when I got back to my brother's place last night I was pretty buzzed and woozy and near communication equipment. NOT GOOD. I'm pretty sure I confessed on Tommy's facebook page my utter boycrush on him (which I guess is now public on the forum). That was definitely not all I did.

OH GOD MY HEAD

Best,
Christopher

Ugh, yeah. Pretty much in the same situation right now (except I can actually love people; I don't think I love her, but anyway), except genders reversed. It suuuuuuucks. I wish I could give you advice, but I am utter shit at handling these situations myself, so I guess all I can do is offer e-hugs and e-support.

I wish Perth had a dubstep night so hard. Maybe there is one and I don't know. I hope there is one and I don't know because that means I can at least find out about it.

[RedLion]

SNOW! Jesus fucking hell, so much snow!

[ViolentDove]

I wish Perth had a dubstep night so hard. Maybe there is one and I don't know. I hope there is one and I don't know because that means I can at least find out about it.

I'd be suprised if it didn't. Perth has always had a very strong drum and bass scene, and there's a lot of cross-over between the drum and bass and dubstep scenes in Australia. Asking on www.dubstep.com.au would be a good start.

[supersheep]

Man Dublin probably has a dubstep night or two a week. I guess this is pretty awesome?

[Spluff]

Guys, Clint Eastwood is/was so awesome.

[Ladybug]

Bad wording, dude. You had me thinking he'd died and that I'd missed it or something.

[Spluff]

He's old now, and it's a proven fact that age inversely correlates with awesomeness.

I, too, just saw Gran Torino last night. Clint Eastwood is completely over the top, but still awesome.

Also, got dinner with my friends and got stoned. Good night all in all.

So, here is the lovely noise coming from my computer. Yes, it is that loud. Needless to say that I will be SO happy when the cd/dvd drive comes out.

[Emaline]

God, 19 year old Joe was hot.


I am currently waiting for a ride to a party. At that party, I am going to drink until I see stars. I am pretty excited.

[negative creep]

Dear blog thread!

The girl i kissed last night was, to clear that one up, not Evil Bookstore Girl, but, in an unusual twist of irony, the very friend of mine who is responsible for me getting to know said lady. Also she is my only hope for ever getting Bookstore Girl's number or ever seeing her again without stalking the Evil Bookstore of Doom (tm).
I hope she calls me tomorrow so we can finally talk about that business.

PS: I am completely sober right now, it's a miracle!

[greenMonkey]

Dear blog thread,

Today I had my first audition for college theater programs.  I think it went pretty well, but I forgot to shake the evaluators' hands before I left.  I shook their hands before I performed, but not before I left.  I hope this doesn't ruin my chances.

[squawk]

Today I was able to find a dress hooray! Now I have spent the last two and a half hours listening to Ella Fitzgerald songs. The first hour was just "Someone to Watch Over Me" on repeat while I played Block Star. Although I also listened to a T-Pain song at some point...

[BrittanyMarie]

So tonight was the Winter Carnivale, a festival of sorts of local and regional bands. All the bands are local, I should say, and the headliners (D4, Eyedea and Abilities, and Awesome Snakes) are from the cities. Anyway, I paid for my friend (whoiusedtosleepwithforohaboutayear) to get in, bought two whole pitchers, and then his friend/cubicle neighbor and I kept trying to give him a high five so he just up and left. Just walked out the door, turned his phone off, turned his MSN off. This is extremely bad for me. He's a friend who I expect to have for the rest of my life and all of a sudden I'm feeling guilty that I pissed him off enough to make him straight up leave and turn off everything that could get me in touch with him. I don't want to not be his friend. At all. I don't know what to do. I apologized right away via text and it shows that the texts never reached him, which means he turned his phone off. I'm drunk now so I guess I'll wait until tomorrow to see what happens, but I'm really really really upset about it.

[Jace]

I wonder if maybe we're missing part of the story here, because trying to high five someone doesn't seem like the sort of thing that would piss them off so much as to make them leave. If it is, what a prick.

Note to people of the world. Don't be dicks when people want to give you a high five.

[Emaline]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I am so drunk/already feeling a hangover.


I have spent the last few hours getting drunk, getting felt up by dudes, and smoking the hell out of this hookah.


I feel like I am going to puke. Its motherfucking 4:30 in the god damn morning.

I dispise my life. So much.

Also, I am drunk out of my mind. Tonight was eventful and I feel like hella crap. So fucking depressing.

I drew a picture of a dead rabbit.

After the party everybody came over here. Everybody and their girlfriends. So every body canoodled in various places around me, and I just sat on the floor getting drunker, and smooking until I could not feel my brain.

I also I this -(<--that little line there) close to calling my previously mentioned friend, and confessing my love for him. This is a terrible idea, yes? I need a friend like hiim to come take care of me. Or him. Except I'd be all over the dude, and he'd get pissed. Basically I need someone to baby me.


Wooo for feeling sorry for yourself! I am fucking pathetic. I need therapy.

[Gilead]

Emaline this is for you.

[Jimmy the Squid]

I still haven't found what I'm looking for out if I got accepted into the Honour's class for this year. I've spent the last four years studying psychology with the intention of getting my phD by the time I'm 35 and working as a sex and relationship therapist. In these four years it never really occurred to me that I might not realise this dream. I'm pretty sure if I had gotten in I would know by now and I have just realised that I don't have a plan B.

So guys, help me figure out what my backup plan is? I have no idea what I would want to do if I can't do what I wanted to.

[Barmymoo]

Is there another route into that career? I know that for law, if you don't get a law degree you can go down the training route and it just takes a little longer. Perhaps you need to find someone who is already a therapist and grill them about how they managed it? But also don't give up hope on the honours programme, because schools are quite often completely useless at getting back to their applicants. I've been waiting since October to hear from one of the unis I've applied to, and I'd imagine that for higher level it takes even longer to decide. Good luck!

Blog thread, yesterday I was on my own in the house all day and I did a couple of hours of revision and made my own gnocchi (turns out I can cook!). In the evening I was meant to be going to see Mamma Mia! with mum in the village, because once a month there's a film shown on a projector screen in the village hall, only mum had a migraine so at the last minute we went and picked up one of my friends from town and she stayed over. Mamma Mia! is the funniest film I've ever seen. Watch it. I don't care if you don't like musicals. I don't care if you don't like Abba. Watch it. Everyone was laughing the whole way through and by the end we were all singing and clapping along and it was brilliant. Sometimes I love living in a small village where practically the whole population turns out to pay £2.50 to watch a film that's been out for months.

Anyhow my friend has gone home now and I've finished sorting vegetables for the Sunday roast and it is time to do some more work. I feel very productive; when I go back to work in two weeks I'm sure the feeling will fade again and I'll be back to manically busy and stressed, but it's nice for now.

[tania]

jimmy, not sure how helpful this is but a master's degree in social work is much easier to get than a doctorate in clinical psychology. i don't know if you'll qualify to have your own practice but you can still find a lot of jobs involving counselling and therapy and working one on one with others. i am minoring in psychology and nearly everyone i know in my program who has decided they probably won't get into any schools for clinical psyc is taking this route instead. it's not a personal failure, it's just a ridiculously competitive program (over here, anyway) and always has been. also, over here at least, i think you can get in to most schools with any undergrad degree as long as it's in the social sciences.

Harold And Maude is on, and I am bawling my eyes out. Maude is dying! God damn you Cat Stevens.

Dear blog thread,

I just got back home from holiday after a month of nonstop motion. I am going to sleep easy as a motherfuck tonight.

Rad things:
- I have my laptop again! Except it is not the same as before. Somebody gave my friend this one when they got sick of trying to fix it. Turned out that the constant crashing was from the wireless card (which I have replaced and the thing is now perfectly fine)
- I just ordered an external hard drive for said laptop. 1 terabyte. Quoth Darryl: "You could fit my house on that!"
- Some guitar parts I ordered finally came after a month-long wait! One of them was the screw I've been waiting on to put the mute on my Jaguar.
- I got a Tonebone Classic Distortion pedal for said Jaguar

Not so rad things:
- Laptop does not have GarageBand. I have a legit copy, but the CD drive is broken, so I will have to torrent it.
- The mail has been taking a full month to get here from Virginia.
- When I went to install the mute on my Jaguar, I discovered that the fuckwit who had previously owned it had stripped out the mute's mounting screw holes. So I had to order some Minwax wood filler, which will take another long wait
- You know, that Tonebone is proving itself kindof difficult to dial a tone into. It is impossible to make it sound bad, but it's hard to make it sound how I want it to. Maybe I should just turn my amp up :B

All in all, shit's pretty good. I get to see my lady again in a month. I just spent the last two weeks with my sister, who I hadn't seen since last January. And we have a bunch of really really nice English white cheddar in the fridge, as well as chocolate digestive biscuits and a bunch of vacu-packed shit from Marks & Spencer. And I have some kind of audition for some TV show tomorrow, it's sortof like American Idol except it's Albanian. We'll see how that goes.

That is all,
Me

[mooface]

i am feeling melancholy and listening to melancholy music.   i am wallowing in self-pity but there is nothing to even be sad about because everything is fine.  i am a great big whiner, fuck this shit i am going to go bellydance and then i will feel better

Dear Blog Thread/thread I often abuse,


My roommate decided to bug bomb the whole house today. This meant that I had to find something to do with my dog and I while we waited to be allowed in the house. He went to the movies. But I have no friends so I kinda had nothing to do. After sitting outside for awhile reading and playing with my dog, I realized it is ass cold.

We went to the back where there is a fire pit and attempted to start a fire, but only failed. So I tied my dog up, and then walked to the store to get some supplies. Along the way back home, I stole a newspaper.

When I arrived home, I started a brilliant fire, and have since been sitting here, reading the paper, and eating hot dogs and marshmellows with my best friend in the world. Life is great.

(Even though it is still ass cold, and having a bonfire with my dog, despite my efforts to get not only my supposed best human friend to come over, but my fucking stalker as well and failing miserably at both, makes me realize how utterly lonely I am.)

[David_Dovey]

I wish Perth had a dubstep night so hard. Maybe there is one and I don't know. I hope there is one and I don't know because that means I can at least find out about it.

There is one at the Rosemount that runs monthly. I do not know if once a month is enough for you? I think maybe it might be. The first one was last Friday, so you will have to wait another month, unfortunately.

EDIT: Dear Blog Thread,

so I just finished reading Watchmen for the first time last night and now I am utterly terrified at what the movie is going to be like. There is no way they can live up to it, the film medium does not allow for it. I should've just waited until after I'd seen the movie to read it.

[Liz]

D'aww, that is good to hear Jens. I am glad that things are finally working out for you!

[phbihop]

The past week has been rough on my body... from my legs to my liver. Mostly the liver. My friend is freaking out because he's turning 27 and is still 2 years away from a degree. So we did the sensible thing, which is go out and drink until we make bad decisions. I mean, that's what you do in these situations, right?

But this came after Tuesday night, where I played indoor soccer for the first time in three weeks. No real physical activity in three weeks, actually. So I was very out of shape. After our game, one of the teams didn't show up, so I stuck around to play a second game. Then a third game.

What does this have to do with the drinking? Well, when your body is already dehydrated from three indoor soccer games, adding in a lot of Sam Adams and Fat Tire is a good remedy for your calves to cramp up. If you've never had your calf cramp up... you're lucky. It is painful. Very painful.

Today was recovery and being thankful that I don't bet on NFL games -- I would have lost both bets today had I put money on the games.

[tania]

i sold a bunch of cds this morning and made $30! that's pretty exciting! since they were all really bad albums by really bad bands, i was expecting some pity change at the very most and this was such a pleasant surprise. the cds i sold are only a small fraction of the crappy music on my cd shelf that i no longer listen to, as well, so if i keep doing this it could actually be a sorta decent source of extra income for me. excellent.

[jhocking]

I just noticed that I use two fingers instead of just one while sliding around my laptop's touchpad that scrolls the browser window. After all the annoying shit I've been putting up with lately, this is my idea of good news.

[jodizzle]

Dearest Blog thread,

I went on a road trip with my best friend on Friday to visit my parents for a few days!  It was good times, we spent alot of time drinking and laying around.  I finally told my parents about my plans to go overseas and visit the internets in like 6 months or so.  They were alarmingly calm about the whole thing, which makes me very happy.  They are a bit sussed about you people, but they basically said that as long as I can afford it without eating too much into my savings (I can) then they are probably ok with it.  this will come back on me later when they realise what they have said, but at least it has been mentioned now, and they know I am going to do it.

Also on the trip back Nerida and I went through Brisbane first, picked up her boyfriend and brett, and al road tripped to Toowoomba for lunch and hang outs!  It was fun times.  We are apparently all going swimming in some kind of rock pool on Sunday.  hoorah!

[David_Dovey]

They are a bit sussed about you people,

rightfully so.
