I'M GOING TO EXPLODE I'VE HAD IT |

I can't believe I only have one day left in New Haven. I have moved a million times in my life, but never to another state, which I guess is why this feels like such a big deal to me. Plus, I'm moving in with someone who I've never spent more than a week straight with (and most of that week was spent in separate vans...). I am beyond excited and scared and nervous and happy and so many things. I am also really fucking stoked to not be working 50-60 hours a week for the first time since NOVEMBER. I am so incredibly proud of myself for putting up with 6 day work weeks (and a handful of 12 day stretches) for the last 10 months...its totally been worth it since I'll be able to live comfortably without a job for 5 months, if I don't find anything. I'm not going to start looking seriously for a couple of weeks. I just want to sleep and sleep and sleep!
My phone is seriously dying (the screen keeps turning white) and I think Ryan and I are going to Nextel/Sprint next week so that he can add a line to his plan for me, since we used most of our minutes to talk to each other anyway. Perfect timing.
My new address is:
1 Fairland Street
Unit 3
Boston, MA 02119
Please write! I'm going to have a bunch of free time AND I have an awesome typewriter waiting for me up there, so I'll write back, I swear.
Its definitely sad to think that a chapter of my life is coming to a close, whether its living at The Fucking Discovery Zone or living in New Haven in general. The last year of living in this house has been really stressful (due to work and illness, mostly) but absurdly fun and productive, as well. I feel like I've lived out so many of my dreams living in New Haven and I hope that doesn't fade when I move to Boston. I guess a little pictorial retrospective is in order...

Did my Jobless in Boston budget. Looks like I can survive for 5 months with zero income if I stick to it. That is a relief. I also should have income from medical studies if I can't find a job, anyway.
They keep closing my library due to the heat and it makes me so mad because 1. I hate it when plans change 2. I love to work and now I can't. What the hell is wrong with me?
I need to get my shit together to put out The Book Slave tape but I'm being so lazy. Stress/heat are sapping all of my energy. I finally sent out a couple of query emails about tape duplication, so that is something. I have the masters, the art work is done (and looks amazing)...so it should come together quickly.
I love this so much:
just like we said, just like we promised. |

don't ever want to come home/have this rad week end. staying up way too late with cool floridians, trapped on a crate in a van with coke bust and sick fix while nicktape yells about hate moshing to integrity and passes his invisible mic over me for singalongs to hatebreed, singalongs on a futon in the back of a windowless draize van, broken down grease conversion machine, swimming in waterfalls, eating off of the salad bar, drunk kids pushpitting for straight edge bands, hartford, avon, vermont, boston, 3 different vans, 2 pans of apple crisp and staying up way too late some more, forever. |

the last show photos are showing up on the internet, so I figured I would share my favorites here. I still have no words to express how amazing last night was, and the last two years of giving this band my everything, really. I didn't even feel sad until after our set, when I went around the drum set, hugged Fred and started crying.
my older brother came to the show and took photos! it was so hot in there that his lens fogged up and made these crazy effects.

I'm really fucking sick.
I can't figure out what can/will make me happy.
I hate being disappointed by punx.
I didn't read for a week straight and I think that really messed me up.
I am always telling everyone FUCK YOU:

This weekend was such an epic rager. Really, I've been raging since Wednesday night. Went to a vegan potluck in Willimantic (pepperoni & cheez pizza! beef stew! corn chowder! mashed potatoes!), hung with my family, went to the #1 Best Show Ever at Whitney House and one of the best shows I've been to in a long time (Off With Their Heads, Dead Uncles, Iron Hand, Play it Faster) and saw everyone, took a lot of photos, drove to Boston at midnight and stayed up til 4am making out, went out for pancakes at the Watertown Diner with buddies, napped for 4 hours while watching Metalocalypse and sleep-cuddling, ate ice cream with Bramhall and Lodri at their house in Watertown, came in second at candle pin bowling, played pool and went out for curly fries til 1 in the morning, watched a really funny MST3K, helped do work on my bike and learned a lot (and got some amazing dumpstered tires), went out for sesame bagels & coffee with my favorite dude, rode bikes around in the wintry mix until ice formed on my glasses...
apparently, this is what I look like when I see a band I love, Dead Uncles in particular:

I need to not Google my own band.
Yeah, we play out of tune sometimes. Maybe we made everyone leave the already shitty show that time. Yeah, maybe you're right and my boyfriend gave me that shirt. Whatever. |

[Sep. 22nd, 2008|02:27 pm] |
peep the new bike!
Why this bike rules: it fits me (its 48cm and I was riding a 52cm frame, WTFFF), its light, its quiet, its smooth as mother fucking soy margarine, its very beautiful, it has two different wheels, it was built by a totally amazing dude.
Also, this bike supposedly rules for reasons I don't care about: I guess this is a good brand and its Columbus Tubing, which I guess is something good, and it came with a Campi gears which I gave to Ryan and he was wicked excited about that, so thats cool, I guess!
The only thing I'm not siked on are the cruiser bars, which I'll hopefully replace with riser bars soon and then the bike will be 100 percent perfect! |
