Quick update. I didn't really get online much over break. I was super busy. Between the holidays, work, Matt, and trying to fit in my family and friends it was nonstop.
My break actually started a week early thanks to trip to the ER in the middle of the night. Oh, that was fun. Here's the short version of what happened. I was home for the weekend for some reason or another and I was at Matt's. It was like 1am and he was taking me home when suddenly it felt like an oversized elephant stomped on my right side. So, Matt takes me to the ER. Funny story.... the nurses let Matt go right back to where I was, but asked me if it was okay for my parent's to come back. Made me laugh. Anyway.... Turns out I had a whole bunch of kidney stones. After a few different Dr. appointments, they decided that I might have to have had surgery because one was stuck blocking my right kidney. I didn't have to have the surgery, though. Which was good.
So, I missed finals week. Got excused from 2 of my finals. Went back to take 2 more. I still have to take one. Urgh. It fucked a lot of things up, because I transfered schools and needed to send them a transcript of my last semester, but can't because of this one class. IUP didn't start until today, so I gotta work something out to get down there.
My Christmas was good. I still owe mom a crap load of money for that. I have it now to give her. I came back from school in the negative. That was great. I got a lot of exciting things, but for some reason Christmas just doesn't seem the same. I think it's because I'm all grown up and don't get to rip open a bazillion toys at 6am.
New Year's Eve was fun. I think it's the first time in a few years that I have gone out and gotten drunk for New Year's. Maybe, that's because I've always had to work either that night or the morning after super early. It was nice. Matt and I went over to Dan's. And I got to see my Jen! We played Christmas first. I had a whole bunch of pictures, but I dropped my camera a couple of weeks ago and uhm.... they are gone. I don't know how I managed that. There were some super cute ones of me and Matt, too. I was sad.
Let's see what else....
I went to see The Audition. I think the only band I really, really enjoyed at that show was Moving in Stereo. They are so good. There was this other band called Medina Lake. They weren't bad. I took some super good pictures of their singer. The singer and guitar player were scenster twins. It was crazy. Lorene Drive played, too. I can't stand that band. And seeing them live only made them even more annoying. Uhm, it was funny though because at one point their singer said something about picking kids up in the "pit" because it was "punk rock ettiquete." This got me and Matt laughing ((oh yeah, I drug him with me)). First off it wasn't a pit. It was a bunch of little girls pushing each other to get to the front. And I can't believe the words punk rock came out of his mouth. Don't even get me started. The Audition highly dissapointed me. But I don't know if it was them that dissapointed me or their crowd. Maybe it was a little bit of both. I guess, maybe, I was expecting more from them. And I think there kids need to sit down and really listen to "You've Made Us Conscious." I mean, not just sing along and say that they get it.
I also drug Matt to see Signal Home at the Hangout. That was a fun show simply because I saw some people that I haven't in a while. I saw Kristen. And Doug was there. And Dan. And I want to say other people were too, but I don't remember. We didn't watch any of the bands besides Signal Home. I didn't like any of them. I talked to Fred and Troy for a bit. That was nice. I like those kids. I am going to see them again on Saturday, maybe, with Ashley. She leaves for England on Sunday. Crazy.
I have pictures from both shows that I went to. Maybe I'll get around to putting them up in here some time soon.
I started school yesterday. So far, so good. I think things will be really good here. I am quite content right now. I get to see my two favorite people on a daily basis. I really missed Jen. Like you have no idea. And seeing Matt all the time is amazing. I'm just worried he's gonna get annoyed with me.
I think that's all for now. I'm gonna start on some homework and then go over to Matt's in a bit. I feel like I left so much out of this entry.
