Have I mentioned lately that I'm really into AFI? I got into them about a year ago, I think, when Alicia started asking me what are real original punk rock bands. Like the pioneers or something. I gave her a head start on the big ones-The Clash, The Ramones, and steered it into a direction with Anti-Flag, Bad Religion, NoFx for a different point, and I think she got into NoFx. She liked the Frano-Unamerican song.. And I think I also downloaded AFI cause, for some reason, I knew the name, but didn't know the band, and so while I downloaded it for her, I kept some for myself, and I got some from their latest album, and then a few songs from previous albums. I like SOME of their older stuff, and I'm getting more into the older stuff now. I kind of wonder what branch of punk they are. Which of my friends are into punk? Not just your run of the mill pop-punk, cause I already have a good slew of that. But I want to expand my listening, and find some good solid punk bands that I can get into. What I like about AFI is the melody, the energy, and, they have this "chanting" thing. I don't know how else to explain it. You'll know what I mean if you're into punk. But anyways.. If any of my friends are into lots of punk, or lots of music, I need suggestions. I've been downloading AFI vids, and I keep forgetting how much I love music vids from bands that I acutally like, and not necessarily of the TRL kind. Stuff that would have been found on MTVX when it was still around, and MTV2.
Anyways.. Other than that.. I keep updating because I need a place to put my thoughts. I need to get some of it out sometimes. I keep re-iterating that I miss my friends. And I do. I miss being able to just talk. You know? And I'm such an anti-social creature by nature that I can't really just make friends like most people. I tend to ostracize myself, unless I am forced to be social, i.e. at work, the work is delayed, so I am either going to sit quietly, or make small talk with my co-workers. Don't get me wrong, they're really nice people. There are some really sweet girls that I work with.. I just don't have the history that they all have with each other. I hang out with like three guys mainly-Chris, Annaus, and Nas. They're cool, too. Chris is actually really awesome. I have a feeling that I could just hang out with him by myself and have a great time, cause he just lets people in. You know? I don't feel uncomfortable around him.. And I don't feel "threatened" by him.. In that I don't worry that he will hit on me. Annaus kind of hits on me after a few drinks.. But oh well. He's still mostly cool. After a few drinks, we all kind of chill and relax. But anyways.. I am feeling kind of lonely lately.. Nu, Miss, I NEED to come out and visit.. even if it is a few hours drive.. I'm going nuts out here by myself. Miss, I'm starting to understand how you can feel so lonesome for Plainville...
P.S. Tree gave me the idea to post a virtual tour of the apt, as she just did one of hers. That will come soon enough. I don't have batteries for the camera, and I can't seem to find the AC adapter.
Oh yea.. and this fuckin apt is a trap for mosquitos.. I killed like 10 last night, and I'm not even exaggerating.. I killed 10 last night, and I still woke up with bug bites.. Go figure.
