surprise parties.
So. I have some really cool friends.
Kevin, Jim, and Kathleen threw me a surprise party, and there was a full cast of characters there. All of whom made me ecstatic. Some moreso than others? But I'm so amazingly excited by the fact that my friends are that cool. If you'd check my last entry, it says something to the effect of "I think I'm going to Pat Murphy's house this evening." Actually, that may be what it says verbatim. Anyway, I expected nothing at all. I may be the most unassuming person ever.
Apparently Jim tried to buy me the Old 97s poster from behind the counter at Tunes. For that, and for other reasons, I love him.
I was thinking about it, and this couldn't have happened last year. This is my entry from one year ago (Jan 12, 2006).
so, i watched like 4 more chapters/episodes of the beatles anthology again.. i'm on 7. there are eight total, plus a bonus disc. i love it so much.. i've seen it something like three times, but i learn so many new thing every single time. the first time i watched it, i watched it to get into the beatles.. it was right before freshman year started. now that i consider myself to be a moderate-to-extreme beatles fan, i've gotten so much out of it. and it made me super happy to learn that john, george, and george martin (produced all the beatles albums) all like rubber soul.. they all said it was deifnitely one of their favorite reords and that was awesome, cause it's my favorite. george also said that he sees rubber soul and revolver as being like albums vols. 1 and 2. i never look at it like that, but john and paul were just starting to really come into their own, and george's songs on each album were awesome. they're all too often overshadowed by sgt pepper, even though the latter is one of the finest albums ever created.
so, life is ok. i drove sooooo much last night. on my way home from dropping off dimarc, i put disintegration on and almost polished off the whole album.. it was amazing. driving is pretty much the best thing ever. i think i'm going to head out to tunes/the apple store right now.
hopefully, the remainder of this weekend will be awesome. i have mock trial tomorrow at 2.. and it might go later than i thought.. i'm frankly not very excited.. ok, i think i'm heading out now.. i got an A on my kilpat exam, which i'm excited about.
if i've been out til quarter to three,
would you lock the door?
from me to you,

Weird. But I was still talking about the Beatles.
Back to this party. It was sick. I didn't think it was for me at first, which is probably ridiculous, but I totally didn't. Thanks so much to everyone that showed up, and to everyone that wished me well but couldn't attend. I was so taken back by everything. Krappa Stacka John Dodig? Also, Jofe, that Buckley cd is awesome.
I kinda really like where I am. whenever I say that, something inevitably bad happens. Maybe my luck'll change. You probably know what I mean.
In a related story, I'm listening to As Tall As Lions and really enjoying it. Thanks, Last.fm.
Love,
