I get to go see the Weakerthans next month. And probably the Hold Steady, too. Also, I'm directing a play (auditions tomorrow) for the theatre group I work with. So, yeah. Things are looking up (?)
Country music and alcohol is a great combination. Especially if your irritating-ass roommate is having a LAN party which you can disrupt with an impromtu Patsy Cline sing-a-long.
So, my D&D group is manly. Manly like a cave full of fucking Swedish bears eating raw goddamn reindeer. How manly is that, you ask? Manly enough that a cicada can send us all running screaming like little girls. I shit you not. We were rolling up characters on the bar at my friends' house, and a goddamn cicada flew in from outside, and we...

Things I've learned this week:
1.) A full-sized mattress does not fit in the back of a 97 Jimmy
2.) If you have to transport a full-sized mattress on top of a 97 Jimmy, it will rain while you are doing so.
3.) Joss Whedon is still the man.
4.) Girls love tech theatre (we had people signing up for our theatre troupe at quad...

Happy Birthday!!
I'm back in Urbana, in my little room with my bookshelves and my dresser and desk and everything. I like it here. I can't wait to get my bed in a few days.
I'm watching Daria. I may call in sick to work tomorrow. 20 days left until I go back to school. I can't wait.
northern:
I haven't seen Daria in years.
Too bad no station here runs it.

I think I have swimmers ear. Yay, summer.
edit: It seems like all I do on this blog is bitch. There are things I like, and am happy about. For instance, I'm going to see the Weakerthans in October. And I move in to a house in a few weeks, and I turn 21. So, there are things in my life that are, as I...

So, I have roughly a month before I move back to Beautiful Central Illinois, and I can't goddamn wait. I miss my friends, I miss things (aside from Denny's) that are open past 10 in the evening, and I miss going to class. I really miss going to class, actually. I also am looking forward to wearing pants, and not getting in a pool ever...

I lived most of my life in Toronto, where there were loads of places that were open late, or open 24 hours.
For the past decade I've lived in a small town where nothing is open late. Seriously, one of the two grocery stores closes at 7pm! We used to have a 24-hour convenience store, but now they close at 2am. We have a coffee shop that's 24 hours. And as of a couple weeks ago, we have a 24-hour gas station.
YAY!
So I have sympathy for you being in a place where everything closes at night, when you could be in a place where everything stays open.

Sometimes I feel bad that I don't blog more, but there's not much to say. I could post a blog saying "Got up early, went to work, pulled a little kid out of the pool, came home, went to borders/dennys" six days a week, and it'd be true. But it's not too terribly interesting.
northern:
You go to Denny's six days a week?
Do you eat the same meal each time?
You can't possibly be buying something at Borders six days a week, can you?

Milwaukee was fun, but the may-or-may-not-be-a-date got definately cancelled.
I have 3 days of fun-filled vacation ahead of me. Monday, I do to visit Kitty and have all kinds of adventures. Wednesday, I have sushi with a girl in what may or may not be a real-live date. Between that? Probably just dread going back to work.
northern:
If it turns out to be a real live date - good luck!!
Why do you dread going back to work?

It's been a crazy-ass time, let me tell you. I picked up a bit of a stalker, started meeting people and making friends, and worked at leaslt 10 hours a day. Life is getting fun now!
xalicex:
a stalker? wow!
northern:
You have 'a bit' of a stalker?
Does that mean they only stalk you on certain days of the week?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Hope it's a good kind of stalker and not the insane kind.
