What's been going on with me?? Hm... well, it's the last week of classes for winter term here at good old BC. This has definitely been a pretty shitty term. Grade-wise I'm doing really well, but it has taken a lot out of me. One of my classes, Writing 420, is just this terrible class where you write papers and give presentations all about writing. I hate writing... so writing about writing really fucking sucks. And I don't really mean that I hate writing... I just hate graded academic writing. It gets me so stressed out. I'm taking Writing 329 during spring term, which is a creative writing workshop. I'm really pretty nervous about this class because I don't know how everyone else is ability-wise. I get pretty uptight about sharing stuff and not really knowing if I'm good or not. I don't know. I'm not too stressed about the poetry aspect of the class (except that everythign I write is really depressing, adn I don't want people to think of me in that way) but I'm really nervous about short stories. I'm a pretty terrible story writer... I have no creativity when it comes to plot. And I just don't write a whole lot of stories so I don't even have experience to rely on.
What else... my boy life is at a negative. I really just don't know any boys that are date-able. I have a ton of little crushes on boys, but I think about what a relationship would be like and I just can't see it happening. Relationships suck so much. I hear about peoples problems or the sappy shit and it just makes my stomach hurt. Some guy at work was like "you just say that becuase it's what you really want" but it's seriously not. I tried dating this relaly great guy this summer, and he'd call me so much it would just freak me out and annoy me. And he was such a great guy! We would make a perfect couple. Ugh.
I read this novel, Chump Change by Dan Fante (I bought it at Barnes and Noble for a dollar)... and I enjoyed it the whole way through. It's about this writer who is an alcoholic and what happens to him after his dad dies. It is just so honest... but then at the very end there is this positive little bullshit ending and it just pissed me off so much! I can't handle it! Things don't go right very often! Agh!
This author Jonis Agee came to my school to do a reading and she was so halarious. I bought one of her novels and I'm pretty excited to read it over break. At one point in the reading she told us this story about how her husband and her boyfriend both left her in the same week... hahahaha... and she also told this story about how much she loves cowboy boots. She has this badass collection of cowboy boots. The week her b/f and husband left her, this guy hand made her a pair of boots-- one has a broken heart and the other has a heart on fire. She also has a pair that has a real snake skin wrapped around one boot and snakes painted on the other one. They're pretty out of hand.
I have spring break next week and I can't wait to relax. I'm not going to work any extra hours... I'm just going to enjoy my time off... and play a lot of game cube. I'm pretty into game cube right now. I've only had the thing for like a month and I already have like six games. I'm pretty obsessed with Mario Party 4... and Wario Ware... definitely my two favorite games. I also bought the Sonic Mega Collection and love that too... I loved playing Sonic when I was a little kid, and this game has Sonic 1,2,3, Sonic and Tails, Sonic Spinball, Sonic's 3-D adventure, and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. All for 20 bucks... what a steal.
It's almost two months into 2005, and I've already found some really good CD's. The Bright Eyes' album "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" is so good. I'm not the biggest Bright Eyes fan, but I absolutely adore it and reccomend it to anyone... no matter what kind of music you like. I also got the L'altra CD, which you've already heard me rave about, but the more I listen to it the less impressed I am. It's definitely good, not great. The new Fiery Furnaces EP is fucking badass. That will definitely be on my 2005 top ten unless some pretty amazing shit gets released this year.
Hm... I think that's more about myself than I have posted in almost a year. Have a wonderful day...
