saturday night yeahhh (or sunday morning)

i am so sick of coming home after a mediocre /boring night. it's the same thing every weekend. walking into my room just now i felt like ... ugh again... i am starting to get too old for this. weekend after weekend- lamp lighters sucks, lets go to durty nellies. nellies sucks lets go home. i am so sick of this scene. same people same losers. i feel like i'll never meet anyone i like.
mike is probably never coming back from michigan. i should accept that as fact and stop texting him like anything is going to happen. this is stupid. i wasting my time, but theres nothing better to be doing.

Punkstock

Last night i saw the booze at the beat kitchen with barbie and stevie. it was such a fun show! the only bad part was during the band before the booze everyone was dancing really rough and someone dropped a beer bottle by my feet. the broken glass cut my leg. it didn't really hurt though. i was just annoyed that i had basically an entire bottle of beer on my leg and in my shoe.

we were having so much fun stevie suggested barbie and i go to punkstock, which is today. she couldn't go because she is going to a wedding. we weren't really sure about going without stevie because she knows everyone, but she said max and jimmy would be there so we'd be fine.
sadly as i started getting ready barbie called and said jimmy wouldn't be there until max's band went on, so it might be kinda awkward not knowing anyone. plus she found out it costs $10 to get in. which isn't bad, but we didnt think we'd be staying long so that is kind of a waste.
now the plan for tonight is for barbie and i to get dinner and then meet up with alyssa in the suburbs.

i haven't updated in a while. last weekend i went to lollapalooza all three days. it was a good time. all the bands were great, the food was good, the weather wasn't too bad. i really love going to concerts. it is one of my favorite things to do.

in the middle of the week i was in indiana for my aunts wake and funeral. she passed away on sunday. i loved her so much and i am extremely sad that she is no longer with us. her daughter, heather, is mine and my sister's favorite cousin. we used to go down to indiana in the summer and stay with my grandma who lived down the street from them. we spent all our time in heather's pool and hanging out with her. i will really miss aunt bonnie. she was so glam and fashionable, but really down to earth and fun.

i just ate a whole bunch of samosas from trader joes. they are delicious but my mouth is on fire. i need to get a drink and start getting ready for tonight.

hey wow it's been a while. not too much has changed.

my friend at work quit, Friday's her last day. that makes four people that have left in the past two months. it's really making going into work a lot harder because there are no fun people around. and they've yet to fill a single position so the work load keeps increasing. tomorrow we are getting noodles and company because i won a free lunch there. i hope they don't recognize us from the last time we went there for the free lunch.

on the boy scene there's not much to report, as usual. i met a cutie when i was working at the Pat's Pizza tent for Taste of Lincoln Ave on sunday. he got my number but he hasnt called yet. surprise surprise. when you actually want them to call they dont.

wednesday wednesday

got my hair did today. wearing purple. life's good.
tomorrow we are going out for drinks after work for someone's last day. i'm already over hating bars haha. i knew i'd feel better in a few days.



I finished Middlesex by Jeffery Eugenides today. I really really enjoyed it. I love his writing style and the content of the book was really interesting. I have wanted to read this book for years. One of my professors at U of I recommended it to us. Our class was based on the cultural "freak" and everything we read was really different and interesting. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Strangely enough the summer after that class I noticed my boyfriend at the time's mom had the book sitting out on their coffee table. I asked about it and she told me she was reading it and I could borrow it when she was finished. A few weeks later she still hadn't said anything to me about the book so I asked her if she had finished it. She told me that she did read it, but she hated it. She didn't recommend it, but if i wanted to borrow it I could. Her complete disgust for the book discouraged me from taking it. Still, every time I passed the black and white cover in a book store I still contemplated purchasing it.
Finally, a couple weeks ago, armed with an awesome Borders coupon, I took the plunge and bought it along with a shitty book, Falling is Like This by Kate Rockland (is that her real name?). I am really happy with one of my decisions from the purchase.

Happy Monday! i'm trying to put myself in a positive mood today. my weekend made me pretty much lose faith in humanity and it was actually really depressing. i have decided to take a break from bars because of this weekend. it really opened my eyes.
i am usually such a happy person, and feeling this way isn't me at all. i am just trying to surround myself with comforting thoughts and people. i should be fine in a day or two.

i am more than halfway through the book, Middlesex. i am really enjoying it so far. the different generations makes it feel like im reading several books in one.

well, back to work.
