Wow, I'm so ashamed that being w/out aol for 5 full days has taken such a toll on me! When I'm not home, it's fine...but when i'm home, and the computer's just sitting there in my room like that and our second line (the one we use for aol) isn't working, the stress is unbelievable! Then again, I was waiting to hear back from a potential employer and make sure all my school stuff was in order...but aol is sometimes the only way I can talk to people. Especially, those @ camp that are so far away and even in other countries...it's not like i have the money to call them! Alas, a miracle has been granted and line two miraculously decided to cooperate. Dazzling. So yea, I went to Warped Tour (fuck racism, *f-up* and all the other sentiments worn on the t-shirts of my fellow concertgoers). I had fun, saw at least a few of the bands I wanted to and tried to find someone in the crowd without dyed hair, 989899 piercings, boots, chains, fishnet shirts, etc. I just think it's ridiculous people would go to that extent just to be "different." I know the punk culture is all about expressing yourself and being taboo and making a statement, but if YOU ALL LOOK THE EXACT SAME, doesn't that defeat the purpose entirely? Find a different way to make a difference; chances are, it'll be a much more worthwhile one. Alright I'm stepping down from my soap box. In conclusion, it was fun, the past few days I've been messing up my room, losing self-control, and watching strangers with candy. Life is good. I'm still really nervous about school, but I finally got a chance to speak with one of my roommates (of course it's not the one I'm sharing a room with, but w/e) and she sounded awesome. She's a middler (NU is a five-year school), same major and minor as me so she said she'd tell me the good professors/courses, and we have a class together! So that was comforting. This year won't be like the last one, MARK MY WORDS!
