obligatory angsty entry - sorry
My speakers are still popping. There are about 2 things I really want from life at this point - I'm not overly greedy - but a sound system that doesn't sound like a bowl of rice krispies is one of them! To my very untrained ear, it sounds like a bad connection somewhere, but fuck all if I know how to fix it. Anybody with any knowledge of sound systems, lil help?
And now the typical angsty lj topic - I am starved for some physical contact. The only animate object I've hugged lately is my dog. I thought I had turned all ice queen-ish, and thus no longer required physical contact. It appears this is not the case! I remind myself of that picture of the rhesus monkey in my psych book, clinging desparately to a terry cloth covered wire monkey. I think I'm just gonna hug EVERYONE when I get to UofI this weekend.
2 weeks from now I will be 2/3 of the way to Appleton. I really can't wait for....everything. Classes, even! Since I'm only taking 2 bullshit classes for the entire year, I'm actually looking forward to the rest of them. And my house!!! Oh lordy, I'm excited about that. I bought an aloe plant this weekend to live there, and I named him Aldo - quite fitting, I think.
I think I need to get an awesome nicotene addiction going to keep stride with the caffeine addiction I'm working on. Then I can be a true artsy bitch and survive on coffee and cigarettes.
Oooh, and, I thought I was done going to concerts for the summer, but I found this hot lil punk show goin down at Bottom Lounge with a $3 cover for Wednesday. Excited about that, I am, as I am in need of a good old nasty disgusting obnoxious punk show.
One more good note - I've gotten so much good reading in, and I have much more good reading to go. I'm currently working on The Drifters by Michener. I've got a stack of biology books to read, plus some more hippie books I picked up.
I need more coffee and a shower.
