MTV's show MADE is coming to my high school. Interviews for potential candidates are next week, and I am thinking of going out for it. But there is nothing I really want to be MADE into I guess? That is where you, the internet, comes in. Tell me what to audition for! Love, Nelson

A totally punk rock star!

ETA: Looking around the interwebs, I found these "not quite 55 word stories" I wrote a while back for a thread on here. I had reposted them elsewhere and completely forgot about them. Re-reading them though, I'm still impressed, and pretty proud of them. And they are:

Quote

And he said, "I won't be offended if you do." That's when I hung up. I didn't need his permission. Sure, we slept together, but that was it. He didn't own me. I could sleep with other people. That morning he called. "Did you do it? Are you ok? Do you want to see me?" It was one word. All strung together. There weren't pauses in his speech. I hung up, and rolled over. There in my bed lay the problem. I shook him awake, and asked him to leave. He moved to kiss me, but I pushed him away. Not another one.
------------------------------

"Please don't call me that."
"What?"
"That name. Please don't call me that."
Claire. Claire. Claire. Her name is Claire. She has short brown hair, and glasses just like Emily. Whenever we have sex, I always call her Emily. I know she's dead. I can't help it that Claire looks just like her when she comes. I wish she'd play along.

If you are at all bright, you will not look at her funny!

Guys, I got bored again. I was feeling indecisive. I decided to record Dear Prudence by the Beatles and Have You Ever Seen The Rain? by CCR.

Stupidly, though, I juiced the master volume too much when I made the master for "Dear Prudence", and on "Have You Ever blah blah" my levels are a little off. And I'm not entirely satisfied with the doubled lead vocals on "Prudence". And I'm sure as hell not satisfied with the vocal performance on "Have You rgiosjeormg".

Oh and I aced the shitfuck out of my interview today. My interviewer and I were having a good old time, and because of the fact that I never shut up, I answered more than one question at once that he was supposed to be asking. I guess that's a good thing, because it shows that I know what people are looking for. Or something. 2 more supervisors wanna interview me before anybody makes a decision. If I do as well on the other two as I did on today's, I am fairly certain I will slay all opposition.

I am excitedddddddddd

Ben got a phone call yesterday from his real estate agent letting him know that the owner wants to move back into this apartment. So we have two months (a good amount of notice, I will admit) to find a new place and move into it. This means we have to look for a place more urgently than we have been, and can't just wait until we find somewhere we love. Plus it means packing up and moving when we were thinking about how we could rearrange stuff to utilise the space here better. Annoying!

glyphic · « **Reply #121 on:** 31 Jan 2010, 16:50 »

That happened to me at the last place I rented. The only difference is that the owner sold it, instead. So, we got 30 days to find a new place. Which, due to the new owners complaining, turned into 11 days. Cue all residents moving back in with our parents.

Good luck!

Is that even legal?

glyphic · « **Reply #123 on:** 31 Jan 2010, 17:05 »

It was in our lease, though the house was financed, so technically our landlord wasn't supposed to have tenants. Very small town, though. Less than 3000 people. Laws are... lenient in such places.

I just found out that my landlord wants to show people my apartment on Thursday: two weeks before I am due to be out.

Dear Blog Thread,

How do I convince my boyfriend to buy me this for Valentine's Day, instead of taking me out on some big expensive fancy dinner date?

Eris · « **Reply #127 on:** 31 Jan 2010, 20:43 »

Be honest and say "I don't want you to take me out on a big fancy dinner for valentine's day. If you want to get me something, then this ukulele is all I want. Please,"

I mean, you've probably said that to him, but if he still takes you out for a big dinner and doesn't get the ukulele after you have been upfront and honest then maybe that is an issue in that he isn't taking your feelings into consideration?

Lunchbox · « **Reply #128 on:** 31 Jan 2010, 20:44 »

Guess who can't move to her new place yet because the old owners have not moved out yet?

I am being launched into adulthood and it is uncomfortable. I've been really moody lately, noticing some regressive tendencies and moodswings, and I've been having some anxiety. My grandmother passed away recently, and it was unexpected and difficult to cope with, but it seems like that was just the beginning of a wave of shit that's about to hit me. I want to fill this post with long paragraphs full of things I'm feeling and what's going on in my life, but it would all be redundant and hard to follow and blagh blagh blagh. If this post doesn't make any sense, I'm sorry, I was on the verge of tears when I first starting writing it. I'm worried about my family, everybody is sick, my mom will probably lose her job, I'm about to start a psychostimulant trial for my difficulty performing in school and in life in general (a decision I made of my own volition, which is kinda funny remembering how I complained about it in the Discuss! thread less than a year ago), and I have been really just sort of worried that I'll wake up one morning and find someone I love dead or something.

tl;dr:

Thanks for the new sigquote Dovey.

To you Vendejvkajbaeljgalfjal, that sucks. It really really sucks, and you're right. It pretty much always does come at you all at once. I've been in a position similar to where you are, only I didn't deal with it very well and just drank a lot. A lot a lot. My panic attacks got worse and more frequent (when sober) and I ended up dropping out of school because of that. So you'd probably consider my case one of the worse case scenarios but really I have a pretty well paying job with lots of room for advancement. I have a lot of friends and some actual free time now. Maybe it's because of the time, or because of changes I made, but I no longer need the drugs I was taking. In my case, and it sounds like you are doing this too, not only was I taking on the stress that was directly on me, but also trying to take on everyone else's stress. Like I was the one who had to (or could) fix things. In my case really, it was the realization that I could only affect things so much, that certain things are going to happen and there's nothing I can do to stop them. And yes, they suck, but once I kind of gave in to that it's made things a whole lot easier. Sorry, I'm pretty sure bad grammar and typos abound in this here post.

(And: I'm obviously not the only one who this type of thing has happened to. Other happy stories is my almost-aunt who is now starting grad school after taking a couple years off (undergrad) when her mom died, and my bff finishing up his master's after having dropped out for about three years. Not saying you're gonna drop out, but if you do end up doing it, it's not as bad as you'd think)

Argh I have an inspection on Wednesday so tomorrow the girl and I are cleaning out our apartment really nicely and moving the rats and the rabbit over to my brother's for the night because we're totally not meant to have pets. Also the sliding glass door onto the balconey totally has a massive crack in it and I'm worried the real estate agent is going to get all pissy about it and I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with it. Just gonna tell them we came home one day and it was broken, probably due to a combination of hot hot heat and strong strong winds (this is not implausible, we live on the top floor of an apartment block overlooking the harbour in Australia and it's summer). If they want us to we're ok to pay to fix it anyway.

We're also going to move in June when our lease is up. Thinking about raising our price range to $400 a week because man, the difference gets us some really nice looking apartments.

Eris · « **Reply #133 on:** 01 Feb 2010, 02:24 »

There is a place of Church St here (just past Camperdown Park) that so far looks like a pretty good size for us and is really close to work and actually has a courtyard and is on the ground floor and blblblblbl I want it. It's $430 a week which is a pretty good price for around here, but I guess I will have to look inside to see if there is anything terrible about it and try and be successful in applying.

Ben talked to the real estate people we are renting through at the moment, and they said they would give us a heads up if anything similar to this place comes up. Fingers crossed everything goes alright!

Neat! Are any of the episodes online?

I am into editing the third episode of my cable show. I need to get the opening right still.

The plan is to get a month of episodes done and then put them on TV on Thursday, Friday and Sat at 11:30. Then I will put them online.

A new blog thread for new dreams! So in my last blog post, in the old blog thread, I mentioned I've been thinking about transferring, or doing something, to move on from this university because I've been unhappy. So I am totally doing that! My mom was predictably good about it (she is an existentialist) and is okay with me coming back home. I'm sad about the sunk costs of moving cities to attend this school, and a lot of the things I've done to rearrange my life to make it work, but it's time to move on and grow, etc. etc. In the meantime, while I figure out where I want to transfer, I'm gonna take some community college classes and establish some much needed zen in my life.

Also you can barely tell I was in a car accident a little more than a week ago!

Patrick · « **Reply #137 on:** 01 Feb 2010, 10:42 »

Totally went and chilled last night with the dude who interviewed me the other day. We played Mario Party 3 on his N64. It was insane, Game Guy came up and took all his coins (he had 96) and made him make a bet who could eat cake faster. If he won, he'd get 16x his coins. If he lost, he'd lose all his coins. Fucker totally won, maxed him out at 999 coins. Ridiculous.

Oh also I guess those songs that I recorded and posted earlier? Toooootally getting airplay in Buffalo, NY. I know a guy :B

glyphic · « **Reply #145 on:** 01 Feb 2010, 13:00 »

You literally just cut the lasagna into pieces, crack two eggs, add some flour, coat in breadcrumbs, and drop it in peanut oil. It looks delicious if you put some Parmesan and marinara on top.

I am now short two wisdom teeth.
The roads were still covered in ice from Saturday's storm but we got to the dentist's office early. Of course no one was there. We waited for about an hour and then the dentist showed up. Too bad it was only him and he had no staff.
Dear sweet lord it is difficult to type this thanks to the Vicodin and the amazing lack o' food.
anyway, eventually the staff showed up so around 10:30 I was taken back for my 9:00 appointment. He leans me back in the chair and starts to come at me with a syringe. I ask, doing my best to keep a note of panic out of my voice, if he was going to put me under. He paused and said he was planning on going with local. I said that I wanted to be put out and he said it was no problem. He also said the chart said local but I know damn well that I said to put me out. So he leaves and I wait a bit. A nurse comes in and manages to not only find a vein but hit it on the first try. That is a minor miracle. I sit back and enjoy the fuzzy feeling. I wait for the dentist to come in or for an IV to be hooked up. As I'm waiting the nurse comes back in with my gf and says it's time to go. I had missed the whole extraction part! I was pleased.
Meanwhile the dentist was out in the hall discussing a problem patient and telling the nurse to call 911 and get them out of there. I don't think anyone was having a good day.
Now I am home and the drugs have worn off so it is Vicodin time. I am putting ice on my face 20 minutes on - 20 minutes off. I am also taking a bloody piece of gauze out of my mouth every 30 minutes and replacing it with a new clean piece of gauze. I haven't been able to really eat anything but I've managed some soda.
Thanks to everyone who replied. I shall now fall over.
