Obsession
Wudi says I'm psychotic. The reason? Because... it's kind of a long story. He's probably right, I should say right off the bat, that actually, I agree. But I don't care. See, in less than two weeks, on Tuesday, May 3rd, the new Nine Inch Nails album, With Teeth, comes out. I've been waiting six years for this album. That sounds insane, but it's true. The Fragile came out in September of 1999. I've loved NIN since 8th grade... there's not a NIN song I've ever heard that I just don't like. Even when I don't listen to Trent for six months, I still say it's my favorite 'band' because nothing else can quite compare to me in the same way.
Anyway... I got an email from nin.com's mailing list saying that you can buy this package deal, with the CD/DVD two-sided, a vinyl with a song that's not on the CD, and a t-shirt, for 41 dollars and some cents... but that's not including shipping, which is what killed me on it. Well, Wudi wanted me to order it on his card, and I'd get the disks for free, and he would get the t-shirt. I told him I couldn't do that, and that actually, I'd rather drive to go get it and pay for it myself the day it comes out (even though I'm super, super, super broke). Because really... the idea of getting up really early that Tuesday morning, and driving an hour to Lancaster's Best Buy, and buying it and then getting quality time to listen to it all the way back... and still even get back in time for class... sounds fucking awesome to me. Plus, I just didn't really want to order it unless it was all of it. That sounds dumb since the disk and vinyl would be free to me, but it'd be standard shipping that's not guaranteed to get there the day of release (ewww) and I just can't really order it and feel right about it... it's insane, but it's like, while he's a fan, I'm obsessed, even if that's horrible.
I have to put in here that while I was typing this, Wudi came in to say that he was sorry for calling me psychotic. Which is pretty hilarious... we got a good laugh out of it. He said that I'm not presenting his side and he only likes things that presents both sides, but my point is, this does present both sides... actually, his more than mine, because right off the bat I admit that I'm wrong and that I'm really fucking weird, but that I also don't give a shit that I'm weird. But apparently that's still not both sides, and apparently I can't win. Oh well. It's cute.
But really, I'm psychotic, but VERY VERY excited!
