Two things-
1. I saw Blue October last night. I shared the experience with my boy, Brian, some of the people who give my heart a reason to beat - Esther and Chris and some really good friends - Heather and Lia. The show will be with me for a very long time... it was amazing. A-effin-mazing. ... I am ELATED.
In this moment, I am happy with no buts.
2. I made a survey of sorts. I was bored and amped. Humor me and fill it out, yeah? Post the answers in your journal or in the comments to this entry.
1. Is there a story behind your eljay name?
its a constant reminder to try to stay grounded, honest and to base myself off nothing but reality. Sorry, nothing exciting or particularly intriguing....
2. If a book was written based on your life up to date, what would the title be and where in the bookstore would it be found in?
'How To Suck At Life In Style' and it would be in the self help section.
3. What song(s) or lyric(s) best describes you right now at this very moment?
'She has something breakable just under her skin.'
'Is this everything in me between Pluto and God?'
( Counting Crows -- 'American Girls' and Kenna -- 'Hell Bent', respectively. )
4. Have you ever had sexual relations of any sort with the same sex ( that wasn't fueled by some sort of intoxication )? Enjoy it?
Yes, I've had sober sexual relations with a girl. And yes, I enjoyed myself very much.. as did she. :)
5. Got a quote you wanna share with the class?
Sure 'Where ever you go... there you are.' Mike Brady offers up yet another nugget of wisdom.
6. What are three things you want to accomplish before the year is over?
1. quit smoking.
2. start training for a marathon of some sort running-wise.
3. finish a semester of school without dropping a class.
7. Who's the one person you wish would simply disappear?
Well, since Michael Steinmetz actually did disappear, I guess the next person on my list is that Demetri Martin. Demetri Martin, you are not funny and Comedy Central made a poor and stupid decision when they gave you your own show. Get off my t.v.
8. Are you a democrat, republican or somewhere in between?
I guess democrat but I'm registered green party. No idea why, though. On either of those... I hate labels and I hate politics even more.
9. Pick up the nearest book, magazine, instruction manual... etc, etc ( ANYTHING that can be considered reading material ). What are the first two lines of the second paragraph on the ninth page? ( keeeeeeep searching till you find something that qualifies! )
'The phone. Without moving my head from where it is embedded in my pillow, I reach out in the general direction of my night stand, knocking over some magazines, an open bottle of Aleve, and a half-filled mug of water, which splashes mutely on the plush ecru carpeting. ( The book is The Book Of Joe and its by Jonathan Tropper. Wordy and an all together ... bleh... story. )
10. What would the title to the soundtrack of your life be and what TWELVE tracks would it feature?
title : Shades of Blue
1. Crash Into Me -- Dave Matthews Band
