so it goes.
a brief summary of my life in the last month:
I didn't study at all during finals week.
I went to Toads to see Thursday with Kate and Heather.
They played my favorite song.
That same night my uncle's house was completely destroyed in a fire.
I haven't been up to Maine since I was 16.
That was my favorite place in the world.
I couldn't think clearly the whole first week of vacation.
I wanted to go up sooo bad, but there isn't anything to do until they tear down the frame of the house (house is still standing, but completely gutted. they lost everything.) and build a new one, probably behind the barn.
The barn was the only thing that didn't burn.
(No one was hurt, thankfully, although they lost two cats. But the dog made it out.)
Anyway, I didn't know about this till the next day.
After I drove back to UConn.
And took my music theory final.
And sold back some books.
And called my grandma.
And Aunt Sue answered the phone, had bad news.
I was in total shock.
I didn't know till I got to my grandma's house,
that my dad and Karen were IN Maine, left first thing in the morning, for moral support and all.
My grandma was confined to her chair because she messed up her leg right before thanksgiving and wasn't supposed to walk, and I had to work first thing the next morning.
Otherwise we would have driven to Maine together as soon as I finished my exam.
I went to Moving Mountains & My Heart to Joy that night.
It ruled. A lot.
And I hung out in Mandy's room for a while afterwards with her and her friend Victor. And I tried to calm down a little, because I was still in shock.
My birthday was pretty good.
Got a cupcake at my radio show. haha.
And lots of people were listening.
And I got a call from the girls in Tip the Van!
And they thought I was awesome,
and if I come to the RBF/Streetlight show in a couple weeks they said they'd give me free shit. =D
The day was boring.
At night Kate, Heather, Rocky, Greg, and Ashley came over.
Kate and Heather made fudge but it was an epic fail.
Greg made really good fudge. with peanut butter in it. yum.
Subway kids had to leave, so Greg, Ashley and I went to Cromwell Diner.
Came home not feeling very good.
Didn't fall asleep till 4am.
Crappy way to end my birthday.
Kate is convinced this guy likes me.
He probably does.
I don't know what I think about him.
It's confusing. really.
Wrote a letter of truce to the other boy.
He never responded.
I saw his mom at the grocery store today.
And she said she really liked my hair.
So that boosted my spirits about that whole thing a little more, I suppose.
Supposed to be watching movies with Josh tonight,
BUT he and evan are snowboarding til like 10pm.
I guess there is some sort of after-dark thing at Mount Southington tonight.
Or something.
So I need to not get tired.
Need to get up early tomorrow to clean before the party.
And bake brownies.
And find time to read so I can finish Slaughterhouse-Five.
And go to Redscroll with Holly.
And hope that tomorrow night is awesome.
Also.
I've decided 2009 is already the best year ever.
Wanna know why?
Blake Schwarzenbach started a new band (even though that happened in '08. but still.)
Bob Nanna and Damon Atkinson started a new band. <3333333333333333333333333
These Arms Are Snakes are playing in Brooklyn on March 7th. Fuck yeah. ^_^
