12:40 am	It´s my last day in Espania and I´M SO GLAD TO BE RETURNING TO THE STATES. Don´t get me wrong, Spain was great, Spain was fun.. but this trip has made me realize how much I value the time spent with friends and being American in general. THINGS SPAIN IS GOOD AT¨ Alcohol The Spaniards are good at managing their booze consumption (in that they offer it anywhere, everywhere). If it´s 7 am and you´re fiending for some Cuervo.. it´s yours. If you´re walking down the street and you need a pick me up, go get some fuckin wine for 1 euro. I was able to keep a consistent buzz this entire trip thanks to the leniant ways of the Europeans. If it were this easy to aquire booze in the states, I might be an alcoholic (I´m kinda drunk right now... so that explains punctuation errors.. along with the fact that i´m typing on an unfamiliar Spanish keyboard.) Cool Streets New York is way more navigatable than Madrid, but Madrid has cool back streets going for them (Backstreet´s BACK alright). They´re really beautiful little streets with gorgeous flowers growing from windowsills and narrow cobblestone roads that make you think "Yeaaah I could get used to this shit". Time Spaniards rule at time.. in that everything stays open till 2 am and shit doesn´t get going till about 10 am.. leaving lazy asses like me plenty of time to sleep off hangovers. It doesn´t get dark till 10 pm, which means the streets are always bustling, and there´s way more time to take advantage of shit. GGGRRREEEAATTT JJJOOOBBBBB. Cigarettes You can smoke EVERYWHERE here, which is awesome. Also.. you can buy cigarettes for 2.50 euros from vending machines. America needs to wake up and realize this is what we need. MORE DEATH STICKS; CHEAPER PRICES!! THINGS SPAIN IS BAD AT Food Call me North American Scum, but I was really not into Spanish food. The most popular meat is jamon, aka HAM, which sucks. Granted, it´s not fuckin deli meat style ham like in the US, it´s more of a tough proscuitto style ham that´s hard to chew. If you order an entree (for example, pollo, aka, chicken), you only get that fuckin piece of chicken. No accompanying side orders (well... potatoes if you´re lucky), just a yellow ass piece of meat that tends to look less than appetizing. Hot Men It was a severe goal of mine to fuck a Spaniard before I left this grand country.. but too bad all the fucking doods here are Eurotrashy sluts whom I want nothing to do with. It definitely made me appreciate how much I love a scruffy, sexy Americano, and how much I wanna pounce on those dixx when back in my homeland. Fuck these Euros.. OVER IT. Fashion Despite what you may think.. New York most definitely trumps Madrid as far as style goes. My Dad asked me "SO, what do you think of Spanish style?"... to which I bitchily (predictably) responded "YAAAAWWWNNN". I got hella cute shit from the Topshop and H&M´s here, but regardless.. the Spaniards failed to impress me. Think Zara x 1000... aka, boring boring boring. Alright back to le hotel before I pass out from too much vino el rojo. I´ll be back in less than 24 hours.. and thank god I have the promise of a bonfire-boat ride waiting for me when I return. This summer´s gonna be great.

1:47 pm	Today's my last day in New York for a while. I'll be back in June, but it's the last day that we're all still here... and that's sad. I'm laying in Allie's bed listening to Black Moth. I'm gonna miss these days. It was a great week. On Cinco de Mayo I went out for drinks with Nick which was fun. No kiss goodnight, which kind of bummed me out at first, but he seems like he's not trying to jump into anything, which I respect... cuz he's still getting over the ex. I'll see him next time I come up. I wish he weren't so smart/funny/sexy/reminds me of myself way too much with all the weird witty phrases and things he says... cuz then it'd be easier to not think about him. Naomi's birthday was Wednesday and she requested that we do it fancy and have lunch al fresco on the Upper East Side. It was so nice. We all sat outside eating our food and talking and laughing and it felt so New York and so alive and so everything I've ever wanted. After that we walked two blocks down to check out Barneys-- which I'd never been to. Fucking FABOOSH. Spent that time fondling pieces by Marc, Balenciaga, Alexander Wang, See by Chloe, DVF, Philip Lim 3.1, etc, etc, etc... which felt more like being in a gallery than being in a store. One day I'll be able to actually purchase something. After that we went to Topshop and absolutely geeked out. It was so funny, the four of us ran around grabbing literally everything. Naomi tried on 20 things. After that we came back to Nomi and Allie's and had a little party, which was great. Perfect group of people, perfect music, perfect drugz. Perfect! Thursday was spent with Gabby and Allie being shitheads. We got stoned and ordered cheeseburgers and laid in bed watching Gossip Girl and Millionaire Matchmaker. Haha. Last night was mad fun.. went to Max Fish, which is this sick bar in the LES that always guarantees hot boys and cheap drinks. The night started off with some guy coming up to Gabby, Allie and I and having him say, "You guys are great. You radiate from across the room.", which was... encouraging? Haha. Allie managed to find us some dank pot from some dude at the bar. Gabby and I were in the bathroom and I took a mini-shit, then realized there was no toilet paper.. so Gabby gave me some of her bad writing from her notebook (she's a writing major) to wipe my ass with. THAT IS LOVE RIGHT THERE!! That might be oversharing... but it was too funny to not include. Haha and then some sexyass man started talking to me. This conversation was worth repeating.. because I say really retarded stuff when I'm drunk and trying to seduce: Him: (tapping me on the shoulder, after making eyes all night) I've got my eye on you Me: I've got my eye on you! Him: I gotta go take care of the manboys, aka my friends, but I'll be back. Me: You go take care of the boys and come back and be a man. HAHAAAAAHAAAAA. We ended up making out in the bathroom for a longass time. That's two Fridays in a row spent making out with hot boys in bathrooms. FTW. Who knows what today has in store for Big Sig and Co., but so far, Black Moth in bed is doing me just fine. Now all we gotta do is add pot and delivery to the mix and we're golden. So ima do that. I'll be back in Frederock tomorrow, then going to Spain on Thursday. OMFG! I have to get that big floppy black hat from AA before then so I can be a chic Madrid girl on the beach. Yeahhh. Bye.

8:16 pm	Holy Godddddd sometimes New York City is a fucking pain in the ass: I got a text a few hours ago saying I need to vacate my apt immediately because my roommate skipped out on rent and left me stranded here (and possibly stole my money in the process). No one can get in touch with her... and now I'm left desperately trying to find a place to live before school starts on Monday. WHAT THE FUCK!!!! Thank fucking god Gabby's parents are going to let her move out of the dorms and into some place with me. We're going to spend the weekend apartment hunting hardddcore, which is not what I originally planned on doing. ghawepghwapbnapiorbnapwiobnawiogjaweoigj NYC Bullshit.

2:35 pm	I have to do something with all of this beauty I woke up this morning to a text from Johnny saying, "AHHHHHHHHH SNOW!". I looked out the window... it's so beautiful outside. I love New York City in the winter time. So right now I'm staying in... reflecting on everything. This past year... this past week... the music that's become so important to me... the people I can't stop thinking about. Life is very interesting... and this past year has been such an incredible whirlwind. It may sound overly optimistic... but I feel like the past few months have proven to me that time heals. There's so much beauty and heartbreak that can plague every day... every life. And it's mind blowing to me to be able to observe all of this. There's no guarantee of anything... "You never know" has become my mantra. Life is weird and crazy and painful and beautiful... and this year has been the ultimate example of that. I just kind of feel like this is a pretty incredible time in my life. I'm listening to Microcastle on vinyl right now... it's pretty perfect. Johnny's bringing the Fleet Foxes album over in a little bit (shoutout to P4K's best album of the year, well deserved... though Microcastle gets my personal vote). Eating a blueberry muffin, waiting for Johnny to come over so we can take pictures of the city on my snowy roof. I go home tomorrow... I'm excited to see my parents and go to CSS and see the Avedon exhibit and see movies and hang out with Jen and Andrew and watch Oprah and all that holiday nonsense that it unavoidably adorable and heartwarming. Here's to hoping that if 2008 maybe wasn't the year for you, or for the people around you... that at least you gained something from it... be it new perspective or appreciation or inspiration that can carry on into 2009. January 20th is only one month away... Current Music: Deerhunter

2:35 am	Sooo I'm seeing Deerhunter on my birthday (Monday) with Johnny, Brendan, Gabby and Jack. I'm so fucking excited... I can't imagine a better way to celebrate. Like, Deerhunter's my favorite band right now, and I get to see them on my birthday in Brooklyn with all my best friends. Tonight Johnny, Brendan, Dan and I were walking to my place. We smoked a joint on the way walking through little East Village side streets. We were about a block away from my apartment and stopped in at this little record store that proved to be amazing. When we realized they were open we walked in and were like kids in a candy store. The guy who owned the place loved us because we were so enthusiastic about everything-- I guess we're kind of like the target audience for that sort of place, considering all we do is sit around and listen to records and talk about music lately. The clerk and I looked through Paper magazine together and I could tell he was loving me (what gay man doesn't it seems like) and at the end he told us he'd put us on the list for his gig he's DJing at Mr. Black's this weekend! I'm so excited. I need to really bust my ass this next week. I have a lot of work to do. Two Catering events, and a lot of end of semester printing and shooting. Meh, whatevs. This entry is over... goodbye. Current Music: Deerhunter

1:56 am	The Silent Generation. After months and months of talking about it, The Silent Generation is finally open for business: http://thesilentgeneration.blogspot.com/ The Silent Generation is an idea I've had for a blog for a while. Just musings of the world around us, obsession with celebrity, pop culture, idiocy, and how silent we've all become about it. I'm pretty excited, I have a lot of good ideas for it. Bookmark it, check it, love it. The past few days have been great. Spent some good family time. Thanksgiving consisted of watching an Arrested Development marathon, eating, wine, and watching Planet Earth with my fam. Went to the city, parents took me grocery shopping and for a little birthday spree at AA. Hung out with Gabby and Allie on Friday, got drunk on whiskey sours Saturday, and today Johnny and I laid around, cooked the most amazing meal EVER (pesto tortellini with grilled chicken and alfredo sauce), and watched MTV ALLLLLL DAY leading up to the Britney special (the inspiration for getting my blog going). Seeing Deerhunter on my birthday! I'm so excited, all my friends are coming and it's gonna be great. GO TO BY BLOG! GOODBYE!

11:06 pm	The past few days have been insanity. Went to Syracuse on Wednesday. Jen, Lauren and I got Thai food at a restaurant near their dorm, then went to a hookah bar. It was cool cuz they let me make a "Hookah Playlist" on my iPod and played it on the loud speakers. Proceeded to get drunk with Jen and her roomies on Franzia, which is always a great time. I drunkenly changed my Facebook status to "Signe is so horny!". Classy... The next day Jen and I made it to Canada! We were really scared that I wouldn't get in cuz I didn't have an official passport on me... just a birth certificate (photocopied might I add..) and my license. But it was smooth sailing and we made it to Montreal by 7 pm. The city is so beautiful... I wish I would've been able to spend more time there. Our hostel was adorable, great location in the heart of the downtown nightlife district. All the trees had little blue christmas lights in them and everyone was speaking French. I felt like I was in Europe. We went to get food before the show at some sports bar. Jen and I split a burger and LEGALLY DRANK beers. Got comfortably drunk and made our way to the club where we were seeing GIRL TALK!!!! Oh my god... despite all the parental backlash I got for jetting off to Montreal... there's no way in hell I was able to turn down the opportunity to see my favorite musician in Montreal with my best friend. It was incredible... we were right in the very front and it was this badass dance pit and everyone was going crazy. I'm covered in bruises, some girl spit gum in Jen's hair and stomped on her foot with her stiletto heel, causing her to scream out "I JUST GOT SHOT!!!". By the end of the show GT was in his boxers on top of his little table, surrounded by dancing motherfuckers and just sweating and dancing his ass off hovering over his little laptop. It was great, by far the best set I've seen from him. The next morning Jen and I made the trek back to the states. I wish we could've stayed another day to catch the huge Warhol exhibit, but alas there just ain't enough money to be had to do that. One day. Got back into Manhattan by 8, met up with Johnny and Gabby. Went to a loft party in Brooklyn which was a lot of fun. The main band that performed sounded exactly like Kings of Leon-- they were really good. Beer was cheap, caught up with old friends, good times were had. Johnny bought Hagen Daaz at one deli after we left, and went into another deli two seconds later, saw a pumpkin pie, and somehow got the deli guy to trade the ice cream for the pie. We sat on a street corner in Bushwick at 2 am eating pie, it was classic. Met up with Jack, stayed up talking and hanging out at my place till 7 am. Yesterday I applied to jobs all day. I applied to the new Topshop, which would be incredible if I got it... but it's doubtful seeing as how I have no previous retail experience. Hung out with Johnny and Brendan at the dorms till about 11, then went over to Noah's friend's house in Brooklyn. It was really chill, even though Noah was the only one I knew there. I ended up making friends with a lot of people and we had incredible dance party sing-a-longs to hits such as Lovefool by The Cardigans (so classic, perfect pop), Debaser, Decepticon, Dancing Queen, etc etc. Good music always makes a party better... and the fact that the company was good and the beer was free made it even better. I had a really good time, and I'm glad I hung out with new people. Today Gabby and I walked around LES just hanging out and looking at boutiques and shit. After that I went and hung out with Jack, Johnny and his roommates. Got stoned and watched Wall-E-- what a trippy fucking movie. It was really really great... such a daring topic for Disney to go through with. It depicts the future as such a terrifyingly sad place. Now I'm writing a paper about Man Ray for my Art and Reason. I'm almost done, and needed to take this little procrastination break. I want to make music so bad. Jack and I talk about it all the time... I feel like my favorite thing lately is listening to music and talking about music and thinking about it. There's just been so much good stuff this year. I can't stop listening to Deerhunter's Microcastles. It's just perfect serene pop... so listenable. Brendan thinks it's the best album of the year... I'm not sure if I've come to that conclusion, but it could very well be. For me Fleet Foxes puts up the strongest fight... but Microcastles seems so all around perfect. Been listening to a lot of No Age and Department of Eagles as well. Oh yeah and Jay Reatard. All are great. Brendan's gotten me really into records... he bought a record player a month ago and has since become addicted to getting as many new records as possible... and in turn I am obsessed with coming over and listening to them. It's true.. they really sound different from other media formats. I want a record player so bad... we'll see how long it'll take for that (not that I need more things to spend my money on considering most new records are about $20 each). But yeah. I want to make music. I want to experiment with all kinds of sounds, and I feel like I could create something kind of worthwhile if I really put my mind to it. I want like, a blend of No Age, Born Ruffians, Sonic Youth, and yet have some kind of electronica mixed in. Kinda fuzzy garage noise with a pop sensibility. Jack and I have to do this. Okay. Back to work. This week should be pretty work-oriented (in that I need to work my ass off to get myself in gear), and then next week Jen's coming on Tuesday to hang in the city for a few days and go to Thanksgiving dinner with me in Connecticut. Can't fuckin wait. Love dis lyfe. Bye. Current Music: Jay Reatard
