So, does anyone know of any cool things to do with a weekend in Toronto? I'll have some committments, this is certain, but mainly I'll be free.
So, I'm actually fairly ok. I went to the Dresden Dolls concert recently and enjoyed myself, making two new friends and hanging out with Jxxx. And, while I believed the best bands that played were the Dolls (obviously) and Rock Kills Kid (the opening band), I enjoyed myself. Did some pantomime and had Steak and Shake after. I guess my favorite part was before, though: I got to see the Dolls live in CD101's Big room, which was a 3 song set with two covers (including the Violent Femmes. <3).
Also in recent news-School and work have consumed my life in ways I never thought possible. I spend most of my time either working, in class, or asleep. Sometimes a combination of two. Its nice and stressful all at once, but the thing is that it's probably the only thing keeping me from being depressed. I find that part hilarious.
I've also found time to read again, so I've read a few books, and am in progress of two others:
Finished:
The Dante Club- Good, but I didn't like the ending as much.
In Progress:
Geek Love
Tons of graphic novels
Recent Music-
Flyleaf
Placebo
Pretty Girls Make Graves
Gratitude
I wish it was still storming.

So, the dresden dolls was a lot of fun. I don't have much else to write about right now.
I might not renew when this expires, but if I still feel like I'm welcome, I'll stay.

CALL FOR OPINIONS!
A friend of mine wants me to do this for the Ddolls concert:
"I want to write "Dead men don't rape" on the inside of my right arm that is extended and holding a fake gun to your head. We'd be living statues. Do you have knee pads? Cause I think it would be really neat if you were kneeling. But you could be standing too. Amanda has said on the forum that she loves brigading art and things that really make people think. I want the audience to think, Did he rape her? What did he do to her? I love how the statement Dead Men Don't Rape pushes people's boundaries. We have pins that say that for WARR. Anyway, let me know what you think!"
I don't know what to think on this. I need opinions, and fast.

So, yea. Great weekend!
First, I had no class on Friday-So, I did what I have been aching to do for a week. I slept. It also was a help that my roommate left from Friday morning until today. In other words, score!
Things I did on Friday:
-Preordered the new Dresden Dolls album. This afforded me the chance to see them at the CD101 big room, in an invite only performance. Score!
-Slept!
-Worked!
Saturday:
-More sleep! Though, not as much as I'd like.
-Gallery hop! I went with two friends of mine, and we did some crazy stuff (pictures soon, I hope). Namely, my one friend jumped on me and actually pushed my head into the street, and then went around on my shoulders for a while. I also bought a bowling keychain and expanding boxers from Torso.
-Work again! The person to replace me was late though I didn't mind.
Sunday:
-Sleep
-Ska ska ska!
-Got an unexpected visit from two of my best friends. I almost had an emotional orgasm from it.
-Work tonight.
-My roommate came back
-Campus chalking at some point
Things I didn't do:
-Much homework. I'll finish up tonight and tomorrow.
-My dice based games I normally attend. I was bored as heck with the routine.
And, plans for the future!
-Operation Music-There will be yet more music in my room, regardless of how my roommate feels! Yay!
-And, our door will be open.
-Dresden Dolls in under a week!
And next journal entry, a photo essay on ipods (ok, so I'm going to play a joke).

First long update of the quarter.
Now that I've gone through St. Syllabus day for all my courses, I believe I have a fair picture of them.
My french teacher was absent, and the only books not on reserve are only available outside of campus.
My Linguistics Prof made me laugh. A lot.
My Theatre 100 course? Full of Asshats. However, it at least seems entertaining.
And work. I work every night this week, and I'm already annoyed and tired. I finally found a defenition for Undead that is the closest a living person can experience:
Imagine you are as tired as humanly possible, and forced to stay concious. Not Awake, but merely concious.
Other News:
-I bought my ticket for The Dresden Dolls Show at Promowest (I refuse to call it by its new name). I'm excited, and might really dress up. Like a mime.
-I also bought bed risers, and now my bed is up about six inches higher. Surprisingly, its more comfortable now. I'm not exactly sure why.
-I had lunch with a girl I have a crush on a few days ago. I doubt it'll turn into anything more than lunch every so often, but she entertains me. That, and she's cute.
-I also had a girl I have a physical attraction to come out to me. Basically, she said she's tired of boys. So, I automatically turned this into a joke about how any girl I'm attracted to automatically changes so I can't do anything with her.
/end random
So, I've been randomly uncomfortable for a while now. Part insomnia, part claustrophobia, and part just general social discomfort. I'd go more into it, but I mean, who actually wants to hear about that?
Aside from that, I'm gonna slip in some tests I took below this. I'd present you with Johari/Nohari, but I don't think there's enough people actually close to me to do it and have it be worthwhile.
And, an oddly true test I took.

Your Existing Situation
Trying to improve his position and prestige. Dissatisfied with his existing circumstances and considers some improvement essential to his self-esteem.
Your Stress Sources
Delights in the tasteful, the gracious, and the sensitive, but maintains his attitude of critical appraisal and refuses to be swept off his feet unless genuineness and integrity can be absolutely vouched for. Therefore keeps a strict and watchful control on his emotional relationships as he must know exactly where he stands. Demands complete sincerity as a protection against his own tendency to be too trusting.
Your Restrained Characteristics
Relationships rarely measure up to his high emotional expectations and his need to be made the center of things, leading to disappointment . Always has mental reservations and tends to remain emotionally isolated and unattached.
Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity but is inclined to be emotionally withdrawn, which prevents him from becoming deeply involved.
Your Desired Objective
Suffering from pent-up overstimulation which threatends to discharge itself in an outburst of impulsive and impassioned behavior.
Your Actual Problem
His natural ability to examine everything with critical discrimination has been distorted into an attitude of harsh disapproval, which opposes and denigrates without regard to the real facts.

So...something nice happened today. Maybe it'll turn into more...who knows? All I know is I'm smiling.
