7:27 pm - and sometimes when you're on, you're really fucking on
good things about coachella:
-------------------------
running into everyone at the right time
brian and steve's conversation during rilo kiley
rilo kiley playing my favorite song
seeing wilco at sunset, while coincidently being beautifully high
new friends
coldplay being really, really good?
dance party / amazing visuals during the faint
nancy applauding the arcade fire during bright eyes
getting in for free
being interviewed on the news for no apparent reason
enjoying eisley, even if by myself
bloc party being over the top amazing
hearing neighborhood # 1 from behind the stage
seeing dexter and omar after years/months, respectively
me and steve's new friends from mexico city
the aqua teen recycling bin
tiffany and her mom being the only entertaining thing during weezer

bad things about coachella:
-----------------------
bright eyes playing only digital ash stuff
pinback playing too fast
and that creepy guy who tried to dance with nancy, shelley and me.

we win.

current mood: sleepy
current music: hail to whatever you found; rilo kiley

5:23 pm - tennessee's a brother to my sister carolina
i kind of almost cried when he came in with the harmonica on "oh my sweet carolina".
i win.

anyway, he was a total fucking mess,
and i don't think i'd have it any other way.
somewhere between the barrettes and the wine-chugging on stage,
i had one of the best nights in recent memory.

smoking on the rooftop on hollywood boulevard,
the best crowd never found on myspace,
drew driving all the way from utah,
curtain call at one thirty am,
limbeck patrick being so drunk he responded in smiles.

shit is good.

current mood: so exhausted
current music: let it ride; ryan adams & the cardinals

because the new ryan adams cd isn't out until may third,
and i hate everything on my itunes right now,
please recommend me something to listen to.
anything at all, i'm pretty open minded.

just fair warning, if you suggest new kids on the block or usher,
you are not being ironic,
and i'll probably hate you from here on out.

don't be lazy.
do it.
<3!!!

(i take it back,
ryan adams, shelley and drew(!) on friday,
amen amen.)

current mood: meh

11:39 pm - wake up, wake up, wake up, i understand its hard to do that sometimes
i'm starting to worry that my vague/cryptic journal entries are as obnoxious as everyone elses on my friends list.
i figured i'd start explaining myself better.

i spent the past twenty minutes screaming and throwing stuff around my room,
which was rather out of character and somewhat exciting.
i don't see how i'll be where i'm supposed to be in four months,
but it could happen.

i've got too many things to do before i leave for school.
LEAVING FOR SCHOOL, WHAT THE FUCK.
i've started to sell my posessions/internal organs on ebay to stay on track.
i bought a coat for chicago today. before i even put my deposit in for my tuition.
my priorities are kind of out of order.

i've got this really really amazing, unbelievable thing on the horizon,
but i don't want to jinx it.
(i absolutely hate when people say shit like that.)
it involves me saving a ton of money i dont have
and doing something ridiculously irresponsible three weeks before i move.
apparently, this is nothing out of the ordinary.

ummm. i miss everybody.
still vague, i know.

current mood: good god damn
current music: life is easy; reubens accomplice

2:01 am - the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west
it's an awful feeling when the ones who are supposed to be helping you out are the ones who are fucking you up.

current mood: frankly diane, not surprised.
current music: lost in the plot; the dears
Wednesday, March 16th, 2005
6:48 pm - there's a light on in chicago
blah blah blah i got into columbia blah blah blah.
you guys are pysched, i know, no more bitching from me about it.

oh god it's going to be cold.
i am an idiot.
but yaaaaaaay.

oh, and i'm gonna go lay out at the hotel tomorrow and watch andy roddick practice,
i guess he has a crowd of like sixty people a day.
who wants to come?

current mood: dancy
current music: from west texas; explosions in the sky

12:49 am - dance, dance; we're falling apart to half-time.
i wore my cowboy hat around the house all day today,
in efforts to make myself feel better.
i should be sleeping on some kid's floor in austin right now,
but responsibility has got the best worst of me.

note to self:
quit after bills are paid.
go somewhere fun.
be you again.
drop entire tax return on irresponsible means.
sleep less.
play more in public parks.

please understand that you've had every chance.
you've had all the time,
all the time in the world.

(but you don't listen.)

midtown, man. i know.

current mood: aware
current music: red light; u2

9:39 pm - but sugar, we're going down swinging
i got this text message from my mom this morning:

"good morning baby, i am at work and can see andy roddick playing tennis with no shirt on. have a good day.<3"

fantastic.
i may have all access to that tennis tournament this week,
so somebody come with so we can gawk at him in person.

i'm not dying! just a small case of pharyngitis and an upper respitory infection to match.
figures.

i got a thick envelope from columbia today.
it said they're going to accept thirty of my transfer units,
but nothing about actually accepting me.
those guys are dicks.

current mood: on the up
current music: by no means is it new fall out boy

9:22 pm - i can't imagine that we won't miss this.





today was amazing.
i listened to bob dylan and took a walk around the neighborhood.
i would have stayed out there all day,
but i got too dizzy.
being sick is fucking awful.

i'm missing limbeck and hellogoodbye as we speak.
i think this is the first show i've ever missed for being sick,
but why did it have to be limbeck?

it seems like everyone's run out of things to say.
maybe its just the season.

chin up.
things have to get good.

current mood: achey
current music: i found a reason; cat power

2:08 am - you god damn kids had best be gracious.
my new job is amazing,
i get paid to stand around,
listen to morning becomes eclectic and order thai food take out for everyone else.

tonight goes down as:
chugging tall cans in my room with steve and brian
ducks in the pool
getting in berry fights (no, seriously, it hurt.)
planning out an east coast flight with shib via text message
getting ahold of greg
running into nick rondeau at super walmart<3
driving up to vista point and freezing in brian's hawaii hoodie
listening to anything but jimmy eat world
smoking cigarettes and playing the best game ever invented
(i'd choose hell before that mouse, guys. "m-i-c...")

i guess you had to be there.
but i think maybe i've got it back?
let's cross our fingers.

did i mention i left my heart in los angeles?
yeah, yeah, i know.

current mood: ringing
current music: every man has a molly; say anything

2:08 am - i had that dream again where i was lost for good.
there is a logical reason as to why i'm listening to lindsay lohan, somewhere.

decided today:
i'm through being boring,
and am ready to resume my old life of fun all the time,
anytime you're ready.
alright, then,
it's settled.

i miss back roads and fresh tracks.
somebody come with me to the butterfly garden in san diego.
or fly with me to brazil.
either way.

current mood: stagnant
current music: kill the messenger; jack's mannequin

despite what i previously believed,
apparently, there is a god,
because jay mccaroll won project runway.

this is quite possibly the highlight of my month.

current mood: holy roller
current music: i know you are but what am i; mogwai
Sunday, February 20th, 2005
6:53 pm - by now, you should have somehow realized what you've gotta do.

2:14 am - my memory is so, so, so fucking unclear.
(two am is borrring on a tuesday.)

1. On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty-five songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing).
2. Write down one line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line.
3. Have your friends comment and see if they know the songs. (NO CHEATING! NO GOOGLE!))
4. When someone guesses correctly, strike out the line and list the correct name of the song next to it. (Don't strike out the line until the song's ARTIST and NAME have both been guessed correctly!)

you guys are good. )

current mood: sweetheartish
current music: sea ghost; the unicorns

3:27 am - god damn, it's gonna make me cry.
conor was good tonight,
he played everything on 'i'm wide awake' but 'first day of my life',
naturally.
he played true blue, padriac, and when the president talks to god, though,
so things evened out alright.
lots of really cool kids yelling clever things like:
"conor, you rock my socks!",
"you're a genius!"
"marry me! have my babies!"
he's a lot funnier than i would have expected,
and somewhat less drunk. bummer, dude.
brian and i got lost on a movie set downtown trying to find the orpheum,
and got mixed up in grammy traffic in front of staples center.
no kanye or john mayer sightings,
but maybe we were just aiming too high.

canter's was pretty good for all the hype,
we blasted awk for the majority of the ride home,
and the inside of my right cowboy boot is covered in blood.

the plan is to sleep through tomorrow, and if i can manage it,
all of next week.
see you then.

current mood: yeah, they go "wow."
current music: neva dinova

they're really, really cute.

oh, and i quit my job.
can i get an amen.

current music: neighborhood #1; arcade fire

7:57 pm - it's just not me to wear it on my sleeve.
my fortune cookie from dinner at panda tonight said
"good news will come to you by mail."
if you know me and fortune cookies,
well. then you know.

p.s: my hair is blond now,
and everyone needs to hurry up and buy their format tickets.
pretty much.

current mood: eighth grade
current music: the pilot; the notwist
