Feeds:Monday, First Week
"Well, the place still smells like food. That hasn't changed." - Aby, 3/31
Yes, I'm making changes. I was just going to sit here and drown my sorrows in Hee-Haw, but things happen.
I set myself up. I set myself up. I put on the emo-mood playlist and read the e-mail de Amanda. Por supuesto, here I am now, mopey and slightly pissed off. At least I finally changed something.
The reason I haven't posted in so long is that I wrote a really good, really long post and accidentally deleted it. Therefor, recap as best I can remember. For brevity's sake (ha, ha, I know), I'll do it in song lyrics:
- Monday - "A Perfect Sonnet" by Bright Eyes
Once you knew a girl and you named her Lover
Danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer
Autumn came, she disappeared, you don't remember
Where she said she was going to
But you know
That she's gone
'Cause she left you a song
Saying I believe that lovers should be tied together
Thrown into a fire with their songs and letters
Left there to burn
Left there to burn in their arrogance
Wednesday, Thursday - "I'm So Happy" by Hokus Pick
What a bright and sunny day!
Wonder what the papers say?
....
I'm so happy!
Feelin' snappy!
My life is rosy!
I'm feeling comfy-cosy!
Friday - "Bombs Over Broadway" by Squad Five-O
Bombs! Bombs! Bombs over Broadway!
Bombs! Bombs! Bombs over Broadway!
Monday was when I compiled the playlist, incidentally. What really set me off was, first, talking with Amanda, and, second, seeing Dinesh try to write a letter to his ex-girlfriend. Shafting empathy. I was not actually awake Tuesday, really. At least, I don't remember anything. Thursday night, I went to a concert at Fireside Bowl. A kid at the college had sent out an e-mail saying his band was playing, and mentioned that Examination of the... would be there. Now, Exam is a Sioux Falls band, so I had to show support. It was fun, and cool. I bought a CD by What the Kids Want, because they were good. The CD is really short, but worth every cent. I also met a dude who said he'd tell me about shows coming up, Sean. Plus one of the dudes from Exam recognised me, even with my haircut, which I take as proof that it wasn't just the hair. Also, Exam had these shirts that had the (really spiffy) logo from their CD on it, and EXAM printed next to it. So I bought one to wear to my examin the morning. Looking at the venue schedule, I also saw that Squad Five-O had played the night before. I was sad that I'd missed it, and couldn't help but wonder if they played "Bombs Over Broadway" (in light of current events).
Next day I took my exam, packed, and left. I blame protesters for ruining a perfectly good garment bag. Yeah. Had to ride (with my stuff) around on the buses and subways because of those shafters. Shafters. But I made it to Uncle Tim's safely enough. Spring break.... played a lot of videogames. Wisdom teeth out. Crashed with HS and Paul for a few days. Now I'm back. If you're in a praying mood, pray for me this quarter, that I stay on track. I need to keepstrong in my devotion to the Lord, focus on my academics, be wise with my finances, and keep my health in order while working to regain fitness. Above and beyond this, I could really use some pray about having enough money to pay the college this quarter. It'll be tight.
The real post I set out to make was an open letter to Amanda, but I'm too cheerful and hungry by now for that. Perhaps after dinner. Bon appetite, all you crazy chow-hounds.
