My ears hurt.
For context, I ended up going to a show at Golden West tonight - some garage bands were playing and I haven't heard that kind of music live in ages (it's been all thrash and hardcore lately), so me and two other people from class spent an evening in downtown Hampden.
By the way, people who think Hampden has been completely gentrified by hipsters needs to have their eyes examined. There are still PLENTY of redneck townies roaming the streets. I prefer them to the hipsters, oddly enough.
Anyway, Rose and Nairobi and I had a ball - all three bands (Mondo Ray, Teenanger, and Thee Lexington Arrows) were pretty good, although I really wish I'd had earplugs on me. Golden West is a restaurant that doesn't have the best acoustics ever - it's like putting a tin bucket over your head and hitting it with a rock for a couple of hours. I did find out that Rose thinks I'm cute, and likes my "swagger," but she also thinks I'm really intimidating (see, Paura? It's not just you). This information is second-hand, mind you, but it was still nice to hear, and Rose is really cool. I wish I'd made more of an effort to talk to her earlier on in the semester, but as we all know, I'm not terribly social around non-Gettysburg folk. Still, she's a good egg. And I didn't know I had a swagger. I kinda like that.
Also yes I know this all sounds incredibly high school and can't I just talk to people and flirt and date like a normal person, but just let me have this one. I don't ask for much. Besides, someone said something nice about me. :)
