yeah, i think original tattoos are so much better. so, even if it is dorky, no one else will have it.

i have some friends up in Indiana, but there's normally some sort of drama going on up there. who knows, maybe i'll be lucky and not have to deal with it.

hope everything goes smoothly with your move!

well good luck with the jobs and all that stuff!!

Oh man, I love 25 Minutes to Go! I might have run into you @ the Milestone before and not even known it.

I'm taking classes at CPCC. Things seems to be going well so far, thanks for the well wishing!

I've had pretty bad insomnia before, it sucks. That, and i've had a regular sleeping schedule from like five in the morning to like two in the afternoon. It's a hard habit to break. Just force yourself to get up relatively early and by nighttime you'll be tired enough to go to sleep at a regular hour, hopefully.

yeah, i haven't cleaned my room in almost six year, it's a disaster haha. i'm too much of a control freak when it comes to my things and my space, so i won't let anyone help. i have in the past and i was too worried they were going through all my personal stuff and it was freaking me out.

i've been in charlotte for about seven years now. it's past time for a new town, a new scene in my opinion. my dad was in the military when i was growing up, so i'm used to moving every four or so years.

charlotte does have it's pluses. i've had more encounters with the cops here than i'd like to think about haha. most cmpd are strict, but there are a few cool ones. mint hill cops are the worst though, they are so bored out in the fucking boonies that they will bust anyone just to have someone to hassle.

public transportation sucks here. we finally got with the times and got the light rail, but it only runs downtown to south boulevard pretty much, it doesn't do a whole lot of good for me.

i was at that burlesque show. it was pretty bad ass. you should look into purgatory, it's in febuary i think.

the holidays are always a time for things to get a little weird. it's like things are amplified - if things go well, it's amazing or if things go wrong it can be a disaster. even so, it's always good to get away from home for a few days, even if it only helps you realize how much you do like home.

my brother's ex girl loves to clean and organize, and now i'm hating that i missed the opportunity to have her help me haha.

yeah, long road trips can be rough. i used to live in cape cod, so the drive from there to here was always pretty crucial. it was like eighteen hours, if you were doing the speed limit haha.

my favorite thing about detroit was [[and i'm not even 21 so i couldn't enjoy it while i was there]] that there are twenty four/seven liquor stores haha, otherwise it was pretty lame and a bit frightening.

yeah, charlotte's huge in the banking scene so it's gets this rep as a bigger better city than it really is. i've never been to new jersey more than driving through, but i'd love to see it. i wanna tour all the 'big' cities here some day.

yeah, i've been here about seven, which is more than long enough to get bored haha. the clubs aren't always my thing, but it can be really fun if your with good fun friends. ever been to purgatory? it's like a goth fetish type of club that come around every couple of months. it's always fun.

yeah, there's a decent sized suicide girls type of scene here, but not driving puts a pretty serious hinder on getting into new groups of friends. and i mean, i understand, it's not something that makes me mad, but it's weird to have to pick up some new chick all the time just to see if she'll mesh with you and your friends.

who knows, i've got a year and a half until i don't have to pay an arm and a leg for insurance and can get my license back and maybe they'll be some cool kids at cpcc when i start there in a couple weeks. it's rough, but it's not the end of the world.

yeah, my brother's old band used to play gigs at the milestone, it's a pretty cool place - lupie's too, quite delicious kuchen. i've actually got a friend visiting from out of town tomorrow night, but who knows, he's a little more into the punk scene than i am.

and i never thought of the train, that would be muuuuuch better than greyhound. anything is better than greyhound.

we broke up about a month ago, but we'd been together over a year and that's a whole different world from my normal three week dating stints, so it's a little weird to deal with.

they were fairplay, they broke up about a year ago, but they made it to the semi-finals of the zippo hottour. it's like a national battle of the bands sponsored by the lighter dudes.

well, i've taken greyhound to wilmington from here - a 3 1/2 car trip - and it took almost ten hours. i'd rather spend more time on a train if it meant less sketchy people and bumps in the road and traffic and crappy gas station pit stops.

congrats on two years, it's an accomplishment no matter who you're with or how good you are together. there's something in this day and age that seems to hate happy couples that stay together. my parents are about on their 25th anniversary, and i have very few friends who even have parents that are still together much less not having troubles getting their own relationships to work.

i actually couldn't make the show tonight - my friend who goes to school out of state was having some health problems in his family and we just hung out at his parent's house to help where we could and keep spirits up. ninety years old with respiratory problems in winter pretty much spells out one ending, barring a miracle. it's sad, so close to christmas.

oh god. i talk to much, even when i'm not actually speaking haha.

it has been nice, it's gonna break my heart when winter actually arrives.


where abouts in charlotte are you?
