So Dan is in love with the now-obsolete MTV Cartoon "3 South".... And I am attempting the impossible task of trying to locate those episodes on DVD. I've emailed a guy who specializes in this type of thing, so I'm feeling slightly optimistic... perhaps a mistake.

P.S.

I uploaded my Doors cds to my laptop today and listened to them at school, and was reminded that the Doors fucking rock my face off.

Time for bed.... almost...

Tue, 31 Aug 2004 04:29:10 GMT

So I'm random searching live journal for something interesting.... I came across about 20 I couldn't understand and about 10 that talked about wanting to crawl under the covers, and I'm thinkin that's a damn fine idea.

After school today I went to Dan's.... we hung out a bit and then went to Wendy's with $3 (ones) and about $5 in quarters... we are amazing. Got a lot of food though. Then he went home to hang with Mike (not my favorite person) while I went over to Dan's mom's house to help her do some work. It's a bit tedious and not in the least interesting, but I like helping her out and it's always a good way to pick up a few extra bucks. Especially considering the financial situation right now. Except I just got a credit card today. Woo.

Dan's making me mental... emotional rollercoaster guru is he. Yesterday he had me in tears (2nd day in a row) and today I felt like everything was back to normal. He's going through a lot, and I try to stay level, but it's so hard to be happy when he gets so down.

Speaking of the love of my life, for the second day in a row I had to leave my home and drive to his apartment because of his lack of memory. Yesterday I was called out in the wee hours to let him in, as he had locked himself out... Today I had to drive over just as I was returning from his house because my darling, the 8th wonder of the world, left his badge at home, leaving him basically useless at work.

He so owes me. But we won't tell him that just now.

I suppose I ought to go to bed. the 8th wonder has this bright idea to take a brisk walk tomorrow after i get off school, after which I will go in and wear myself out further at work. Hmm. Anything for him.....? We both need the exercise, but i could think of better days to start than tomorrow.... like even the day after tomorrow... but he insists.

not again.....

Thu, 12 Aug 2004 15:58:13 GMT

Hmm. Okay this is the new edit of this entry, made on 8/30.... I've gotten so many responses and i'm so glad everyone is supporting me, but I don't want everyone to get the opinion my boyfriend is a big asshole so I've deleted it. Since my post, he has called the girl in question and told her he can no longer talk to her, so I got what I wanted.

Thanks and love you all!

hmmm....

oh crappy day

Tue, 15 Jun 2004 18:31:03 GMT

I'm so tired of school. Really. Everyone ELSE in the world is out, summer break has a meaning to them. I get a week in july-- that's my break. I skip a lot of school... It's okay though. I rock. I still have a 93 or higher in every class... yeah. Mess with me, bitch.

Working too much this week--Fathers Day rush. Everyone getting their pictures taken. But the last few days have been slow... people either don't show up or cancel their appointments... hopefully it'll stay like that, cuz otherwise it'll be insane. However, I KNOW that Saturday (being the day before Fathers Day) a whole bunch of those people that didn't show up are going to call and whine about wanting an appointment that day, and we WONT HAVE ANY. So dont call.

I hate people.

Dan's a babe though. He's been in sort of a bad mood lately, but I don't blame him... stress and all that. Band shit. Some part of me wishes he'd quit the band. But I know he wont, unless something drastic happens that really pushes him over the edge. He's not a quitter by nature. That's why he's still smoking pot, too...

I bought a car. Word to the Taurus. I don't get it for like a week though... its a 92 Taurus, in nearly perfect condition, for 850 bucks. Bought from someone I know, who had it in his family forever, so we know it was well taken care of... I'm excited. Comes with the CD player in it and everything. I'll still listen to Howard Stern in the morning. Much love to Stern. Can't wait to get the car.

Maybe I'll show up to school when i get this car. (right).

Straight to hell

So my week didn't even start out well... it's rare that things start out horribly and then slowly get better. Usually it's the other way around. No wonder I've felt so fucking upside-down all week.

So monday morning I actually got up and made it to school on time (gold star for me...)... My dad was taking my dog to the vet in the morning for xrays. No biggie. Then during Drawing and Illustration class, this lady comes in and says that she needs to see me, so I go out in the hall and there stands my grandfather. He tells me I need to go get my stuff cuz i need to leave... so I'm all scared cuz I KNOW something bad happened to Maggie. (by the way the first thing out of my mouth when I saw my grandpa was "oh my god" which is not good because he's a christian pastor... hmm...). So anyway I found out on the way home that my dog was diagnosed with bone cancer and that it's already gotten bad. I get home and my mom is bawling, which starts the tears for me... We decided as a family to have her put to sleep. She was in so much pain. Before my dad could sign the papers the vet came out and made us look at the xray... her fucking hip was GONE. Like completely eaten away... no wonder she cried all the time and only walked on 3 legs. So even though I was devastated, I agreed that putting her down was the best thing for her and it would only be selfish for us to take her home living with that ungodly amount of pain. We were all there when it happened... my parents, me and my brother... and it was so sad but she didn't even fight the shot, she just peacefully drifted away... here it is friday and I'm STILL bawling myself to sleep every night... it's like losing my best friend every time I wake up without her. Maggie was the best dog I'd EVER had, and one of the best friends I'd ever had. And ever will have. I love her so much and i miss her every second of every day.

In lighter news, we got a new puppy. It happened only a few hours after Maggie was gone... my mom said "Dad's going out of town for the week and I'll go crazy without a dog, after tippy died it was only 3 days till we got Maggie and I went crazy" so we started calling places in search of a female german shepard mix. Amazingly (miracles do happen) the first place we called (**ANGEL** pets rescue...) had a german shepard/keeshond mix, 3 months old, ready to be adopted... my mom was in shock. We drove out there to meet her, and were introduced to her by a woman named **MEGS** (way to go megan :) ) We took her home :) Her name is Haley (for "halo")... adorable. We all are falling in love with her but it's slow, because we're also sitting at home going "Where's my baby" and crying because our baby is gone.

Haley's coming to my work tonight for baby pictures :) Should prove to be pretty interesting...

Tomorrow's dan's show in Treverton and after that there's a BIG surprise for one of the members of the band... he's gonna be pissed.

Sunday I work but Dan worked Thursday night so he gets Sunday night off... so he said that that's going to be my night because my weekend is going to be ruined by his shows... so he's taking me out for a nice dinner and then maybe a movie or something... :) I love my Dan :)

What a weekend

Mon, 17 May 2004 13:38:15 GMT

Alright so this weekend was pretty strange.....

Friday I was working and Jami invited me and Dan to her house for margaritas... so we went over and I drank 7 of them...!! They were pretty strong, and i could taste how strong they were, but i didn't feel it til we left... Luckily dan was sober.

Saturday i worked 2-8... spent most of the time cleaning the lab area. Scraping chemicals off the floor... hmmmmm..... Then I went to my house and watched Pretty in Pink with my mommy... Andrew McCarthy is Hot. Watch Kingdom Hospital, you'll know what I mean. Then I went back to Dan's and we went to the diner with Isaiah, but we came back and just went to bed cuz Dan was so sick (he did something he really shouldn't have, and it kicked his butt.)

Sunday Dan was still sick, but he had a show. Crappy show, but they did okay. Don't like the singer they tried out though... Dan says they arent keeping him.

So now I'm tired. ugh.

Tessa found a roll of film in her old purse and it was a whole bunch of pics of Megan... made me cry. She was such a cutie!

So i'm at school. Again. SOOOOOOOOOOOO bored. On top of that, I forgot my software today so I can't do what everyone else is doing, so i'm SOOOOOOOO bored. But there's only 30 minutes left.

Dan and I have been working on moving more of his stuff out of his parents house... only took him since last fall to decide to finish moving out. Sounds like fun! hmm... it's okay though. I'm glad he's finally doing it... I think he'll be happier having all of his stuff at his house. Also, it'll give him a better idea of what he has and what he needs, instead of going "I MIGHT have that at my parents house...". Should be great.

So Amber won Survivor... who didn't see THAT one coming. I mean, Shii Ann told us. Yikes. Hopefully Rupert wins the second million. Or big tom.

I'm such a loser

Sigh

So I'm bored out of my mind in class. Ha. There's a shocker. When does this stuff get more interesting? I'm losin my mind here... So bored. It's all good though... I'm eating a granola bar and talking to my brother. And tomorrow, Digital Arts goes on a field trip to see Van Helsing. Sweet. Dan's gonna come. My doobie :)

Doogie died. :(:(:(

Got a letter from Ben yesterday :) He's made friends with a bank robber, has Chris's old cellmate trying to kill him cuz Chris clogged his toilet before he left... he's playing a lot of Monopoly and sleeping all the time. That's the update I got from him. His hair is shaggy. And he loves me. Woo :)

Wow. There's nothing else to talk about. Word.

Makes me miss those days.... almost

Thu, 11 Mar 2004 21:36:06 GMT

Man I suck.

Dan came over after work today to sleep with me... took me almost an hour to fall back asleep after he got here and he was just as bad. I think today was the first time I've EVER fallen asleep before him. Small victory- didn't get to catch the early edition of his snoring.

Got up at 12:00 and sat on my ass watching shows on TLC (wow)... got dan up at 1:45 and ate with him, til he had to leave to go to band practice.

Checked my email-- asked my cousin Amy if she wanted to come to Dan's show tomorrow. She can't because she's booked up all weekend. Should I feel bad that my 14 year old cousin has a more exciting life than me? I guess not. Viva la teenager. I'm too old to be booked anyway.

Although this weekend isn't AS bad as my usual "sit around and do nothing".... Cameron, his girlfriend Angie, and a friend of theirs named Ryan are coming down tomorrow for Dan's show, and then are going to hang out a bit on Saturday... woo! Sounds like Friday night's a night for fun.

Sunday Amy has a date. Sunday if I'm not working I have to go to Dan's grandfather's birthday party. Who's cooler here.... but I love Dan's family so it's cool. Should be exciting, provided Laurie doesn't sit down and try talking religion to me again... eeeks. Or singing. In fact I think I'll keep a distance from Laurie.

So now I wait like a loser til Dan gets done practicing with his band... tonight I'm taking him to my work to do pictures. Woo. Nice pictures of my baby. Tessa's coming too (hopefully... i haven't called to make sure we're still on for that)... fun fun.

When did I get so lame? I woke up today for the sole purpose of taking pictures at my work of my boyfriend and my best friend.... no other purpose... hmm.

I'm gonna go cry now.

what a day!

Thu, 11 Mar 2004 04:30:40 GMT

So woke up at the ass crack of dawn (okay 11:00) because Tess was coming to get me... then since she was 15 minutes late I called her and WOKE HER UP cuz she decided that road trippin to maryland day was the perfect day to sleep in :) way to get 2 hours of sleep, Tessa!

So we get on the road bout an hour or so after we had planned to... no biggie. With Tess drivin and me in the thinkin' seat we got down to Maryland and to Quentin's house safely... awkward introductions took place and then we drove to another guy's house, then we sat there for awhile chatting it up, then we went to dinner. Wow. Learned a lesson-- dinner might not be peaceful if you have the Cordier sisters along :) Tarah bitched out the waiter cuz he wouldn't give her the soup she wanted (even though it WAS the same price) and then Erika flipped on him when he DID bring Tarah the soup but NOT the other 2 girls (erika and laura) that wanted it. SO later he brought Erika the soup (not laura) and gave me some big dessert to share with the other "quiet people" at the table (umm....) Crazy.

So then we went back to Quentin's house, where 4 of our group (myself included) fell asleep to the lullabys that Quentin was singing (boy's got an awesome voice on him!) but after awhile decided to call it a day. I drove Tessa's car home cuz she was tired... made it home alive.

And in time to watch Kingdom Hospital. Woo to the SK hoo. Love that show... love the writer... sigh. Wish I could write like SK.

But i think it's about time for me to hit the ol' sack cuz i'm totally drained... tomorrow i get to go into work and take pictures of my baby and my tess :) Yay! Will be a nice day tomorrow :)

COME TO DAN'S SHOW ON FRIDAY NIGHT!!!!! MONROE TOWNSHIP BUILDING 7:00!!!!

Goodnight :)

I'm a bitch

Fri, 05 Mar 2004 16:14:17 GMT

So I was called "abrasive" and "bossy" by a 40 year old man. Huh. Because I asked him if he had made any progress on something he was supposed to do A MONTH ago for the NR Music Fest. Called me a "slave driver". Hmm. But the other day both Tarah and Erika (sisters think alike i suppose ;) ) told me that if I wasn't taking charge, nothing would be getting done. SO I'm not going to feel bad if poor ol Gage was offended that I checked his progress. Maybe he should spend less time name calling and more time doing what he said he'd do. I have no problem if he doesn't have the time and wants to tell me to do it myself-- I'm okay with that. I don't want to be an asshole to him. But being insulted does strange things to a girl... makes her vicious.

Sigh.

Enrolled officially at Thompson! Woo. Starts April 19th. Day after Meg's show. I'm gonna have a show hangover my first day of class.... :/ Wish me luck with all that.

Officially withdrawing from hacc today... hmm. Hopefully all will go smoothly... Last night my Soc. teacher acted SO shocked that I was transferring to THOMPSON (he said it like it was a dirty word) instead of staying at HACC. Hmm. Cutting edge technology or a wobbly desk that hurts my ass? I'll go with Thompson, thank you very much.

What is it with older men treating me like a child?

Can't wait til this is all over.

Welcome Pippin :)

Tue, 02 Mar 2004 05:17:01 GMT

So everyone knows Dan and I can't resist pets... So everyone needs to come say hi to the newest addition to our hamster collection, Pippin. Pippin is a tiny little dwarf hamster... he's all white, but with black eyes- not albino. So unique looking I fell in love. Named after (duh) Pippin from Lord of the Rings cuz he's totally my favorite character. When he curls up he looks like a golf ball. So cute! See, we had two teddy bear hamsters, Holden and Banky, that were ours, but Dan's mom like fell in love with them and we'd both feel horrible taking them away from her... she's bonded with them and they've bonded with her and it'd be like kidnapping toddlers. Then Doogie was "me and dan's" but now has pretty much become just "Dan's"... so we decided Doogie is still ours, but mostly dan's, and Pippin is ours, but mostly mine. So woo.

Wednesday is the big day, where I go to my classes and officially withdraw from all of them... eeks. It sucks cuz I need to get my teacher's to sign a paper saying I can withdraw, which means I need to explain to them all why I'm leaving... praise god it's not cuz I'm pregnant or something like that. Wouldn't wanna explain that to total strangers.

So Thompson Institute is the next step. Hopefully I'll make it through... I definitely can't withdraw. If I withdraw from another school my dad will choke me to death and put me in our giant freezer. Not fun.

Website updates... check them out! www.anotherdaydown.com and www.geocities.com/jenimi03/

Mon, 01 Mar 2004 05:19:41 GMT

so I totally THOUGHT i had plans tonight but no one ever called me, so I spent my first Sunday off in 3 weeks cleaning the apartment... great.

Saturday was cool. I got up and Bridget's parents got here, and Cam, and we all went to quiznos for lunch... then the guys went back home and the girls (me, bridget, mom, and mrs. andrezze) went to Michaels where I spent 30 bucks on frames... then we went to ashcombes where i spent 20 bucks on plants... they're cool though. Then I came home and hung out with Cam, then Dan came over and we all ate dinner... then the whole world showed up at my house. It was fun though. Then Dan and Cam and I went back to the apartment and Cam and I drank a lot of Mikes... the variety pack. Yeah. Then we went to bed. THEN we got up and all went to Friendlys for lunch with Isaiah... Cam left from there to go back home. Dan, Izzy, and I went back to the apartment, where Dan dropped me off to clean while he and Isaiah cruised the pike. SO I spent 1 1/2 hours JUST on the carpet (grr damn ancient vaccuum, I had to clean the carpet with my HANDS)... then another hour on the bathroom and kitchen. Ew. We went to dinner at BK, then went to Brenner to look at cars, and then to walmart to get some things Dan needed for the apartment... ooooo.

But no one called me so I guess my plans were cancelled today without my knowledge. Mikey called me and said he didn't know what happened either... so sad. It's okay. I enjoyed my day anyway, and I'm sure everyone else did too. :)

Tomorrow I withdraw from HACC... I'm dropping out cuz in April I'll be starting an 18 month program at Thompson. 18 months straight. No summer breaks. Yikes. I hope I can make it! Woo.

Dan's here so I'm gonna go cuddle with him and watch tv...

Wed, 25 Feb 2004 04:24:25 GMT

Damn ungreatful people to hell! I'm so tired of getting a bunch of crap from these bands for no regrets fest, making all their random demands... you'd think that the publicity of this show would be enough. hell its gonna be in the newspaper, probably on the news, the radio, etc... hello?? Holy get-your-name-out-there time! There are 2 bands that are just making me crazy.

Ugh.

Saw Butterfly Effect. Amazing movie. Still hard to take Ashton Kucher seriously in some parts, but overall I like the message... the whole "might have to sacrifice your own happiness for the sake of others." Woo. Dan and I were LITERALLY the only two people at that particular showing... nice. Should have made out, but it was too good of a movie. Hmm.

Feeling like I'm going a little crazy... I wish things were just easier, ya know? Everything in my life is getting harder and harder, instead of easier... Damn. Keep trying to take things one day at a time but obviously that's difficult for me... I just hope that I can make it, and that I don't go crazy before it all gets better.

Gonna go read a Stephen King and relax for awhile... Dunno what the rest of the night shall hold.

Keep on swimming, keep on swimming....

another blah wednesday

So I'm thinking that maybe I shouldn't even bother updating this thing anymore, because more than likely people are so tired of waiting for me to WRITE in it that they don't bother READING it anymore. Plus nothing exciting has been happening really in my life, so I don't feel that inspired to write.

Anyway.

I'm getting increasingly tired, like ALL THE TIME. I think tonight instead of going over to Dan's after class as is the norm I'm just going to come home, do my homework, and SLEEEEP because tomorrow I work at 10 and then I have a class at 5:30.. boo. I hate school.

Dan bought me a beautiful ring for Valentines day!!!! Yes I know it's not actually v-day yet but if you knew dan, you'd know as soon as he buys a gift he can't wait to give it... which is fine cuz I'm the same way. Anyway it's a sapphire (natural, not manmade) with 7 tiny diamonds (total 1/8 carat weight). it's so pretty! He showed me the one that he wanted to get me, with a bigger sapphire and more diamond weight for the same price, but I like mine better. He made the right choice. I don't need something huge. I had to get it resized though and won't get it back til the 20th which is a MAJOR bummer.... :( Dan's v-day gifts were a handwoven celtic blanket with the tree-of-life design on it, a cd of a band he can't find ANYWHERE, a watch, and a drawing thing I did of the guys from 3-South. He's cooking me dinner on Saturday... eeps. I dont know what to think... hopefully it'll be good. I'm bringing dessert. Havent decided on one to make yet.

Can't keep my eyes open so that's all for now.

tired and lazy....

So i'm planning on doing nothing today. That's right. Nothing. I'm going to be a bum and sit at my house til 4, when I have to go to work... then I'll go to work at 4 and do relatively nothing, the way things have been lately.... then I'll get off at 8 and go to dan's house and... you guessed it.... do nothing. So great.

It's Joe and Ryan's last weekend before they have to go back to the world of the Marines... boo. I feel really bad for Dan because he's having a really hard time with the whole thing... He loves Joe. They're like sisters. j/k.... I'll miss them too. I get tired of hanging out with just Josh and Isaiah all the time... I mean, how much fun is that? Ok, Ok, Isaiah's cool like 95% of the time. But don't tell him i said that.

Been working on some fun fun art projects lately, woo! Finished something up for Dan, working on something for myself right now, in the planning stages of something for Mikey cuz he's a sweetie... It's relaxing. Takes my mind off of all the other crap, say, homework, that I have to do. Ya know. Lazy stuff.

Put away my first $100 yesterday.... woo! (For those of you out of the excitement, I'm very slowly saving up cash, and every time i reach $100 i'm putting it away, so that I can use my paychecks for the necessary things and save my cash for me things.) Hoping that this will be used either toward a car (for which i already have $3000) or toward an acoustic guitar... we'll see.

Work progressing quickly now on Megan's show... 14 bands, waiting for 1 more and we can REALLY get started! It's awesome, totally awesome... it's gonna be great. Meggie'd be proud :)

I've been rereading my dark tower books... a new one comes out in the spring sometime. I have to make sure I have all my details in order. I'm working on #3 now, "The Wastelands"... then I have "Wizards" next and "wolves" and then the new book, "Song of Susannah". Can't wait to find out what that one's about because I have no fucking CLUE where they were going with the plot at the end of "wolves of the calla".....

Nerding it up. That's me.

time warp

Fri, 09 Jan 2004 07:52:11 GMT

wow, holy lapse in writing. Carried away by too much work, too long hours, too stressful situations... Starting classes at hacc wednesday. Excitement. Sociology, intro to music, eng. comp I, and western civ. II. Holy suck-fun-out-of-my-life. Have to spend less time with Dan... boo. Cell phone bill will suffer from that one. Damn.

Joe and Ryan are coming home for like 10 days on Saturday... can't wait to see them.

Work on Meg's show is going well... Tarah and I are currently discussing "staff" tshirts and flyer designs/when to put out flyers. Should be interesting. One more project to throw on the heap... Although Tessa's christmas gift should be out of my hands by Saturday. What a relief... I've enjoyed it, but its time has come to move on. Otherwise I may jump off of a building.

Updated my new website... should be ready soon. Wanna preview? go to www.geocities.com/jenimi03. enjoy.

tired. must... sleep...

Yup. Another all nighter.

This blows. I don't think anyone hates the morning more than I do, and yet here I am... second day in a row... watching the numbers on my clock change as I desperately wish for sleep. Damn. I did spend the time working on a new website... I don't like my old one. Too... girly. Too purple. For god's sake I'm hugging a teddy bear on the homepage. yikes. Gonna put some new pics up there when I get home... as of now I don't have very many to work with. Should be fun... more of a reflection of me than the current one is. A little less family-friendly... little more honest. More family friendly than my live journal though... I don't think my mom would like to know that way back in my first few entries I took a quiz that said I'm great at giving head... hmm.

BUY AN ANOTHER DAY DOWN CD! $5 don't be cheap.

HELP

Wed, 10 Dec 2003 10:35:12 GMT

Yes, it's almost 5:30 AM on a random Wednesday and I'm still awake. Shit. I knew this would happen though... anxiety about finals and excitement about leaving WCU has kept me up til the early hours, and then I sleep all day... sucks, but has been making the week go relatively fast. However, I have a psych final at 8am and I knew if I didn't stay up all night, I'd never get up for the final. Yikes. So I finished taking all the bio notes I need from the book... did some chem practice problems... finished putting together my writing portfolio... now I just have to write a 2 page essay and shower, and I'll be all set for psych. Then I'll sleep all day. Writing "final" at 8:30... basically a writing "everyone show up, turn in your essays and your portfolios, and leave as fast as possible." should be fun... :P

My ex, Matt, was supposed to come visit me later today... now it's unsure. He told me earlier today (yesterday I guess... tuesday) that he wouldn't be able to make it, then told me later that he MIGHT come, but isn't sure yet and won't know until tomorrow (today...)... So I may only get like 3 hours of sleep and then will have to get up because he's coming, but that's okay... I need company. Even just for a few hours. I'll take anyone who's willing to spend time with me, and I havent seen Matt for awhile so it should be cool. Dan's cool with it too... although he keeps inserting random insecure comments, like "I miss you too... just dont make out with Matt" or "he's not planning on staying over, right?" It's adorable... good to know he cares :) I'd never do anything to jeopardize the relationship I have with Dan, though, and he knows that... I know he trusts me.

I watch so much late night television I am actually developing a crush on Conan O'Brien. You've gotta admit, he's cute when he smiles... okay. Whatever. So long as Carson Daly doesnt come next, because I always thought he was the equivalent of a really ugly giant walking penis and if I ever grew attracted to him I'd have to hang myself from this sixth story window.

Enough of that.

So going home... Should be interesting (you should see how many times I had to type that word... and how many "er"'s were in it...) Can't wait to see my friends... Dan's letting me have people over to his place on Saturday :) I'll get to see Tarah, Erika, Allison (mwah baby!), possibly Tessa and Ben, Megan and possibly Sarah and their friend Kate... Dan's invited Adam, so it'll be nice to see him... Maggie might come... yay :)

My friend Dave said he'd take me out to dinner sometime :) Yay... company. We were discussing the possibility of him receiving reward money for something and I said I wanted a cut ($10) for keeping secrets for him... he said he'd give me a space heater and blankets (emphasis- ITS FREEZING HERE) but I said I'd rather go out for dinner, because I prefer company to warmth (yes, i said it... this is how lonely I am) and he said he'd do that with or without a reward :) hehe. Glad we finally resolved our problems.

Funny how chatty I am at this insane hour. Also amazing how awake I am... and how sick I feel. Probably due to the fact that I exist primarily on a diet of cereal and milk... and my cereal ran out this morning (well, 3:00 tuesday afternoon...) so I've had nothing but cookies and popcorn in the last 14 hours or so. Yeah, picture of health. I'll sign autographs later.

Meg's show is off and running... 7 bands so far. It's all I think about. 50% of IMs and 90% of all emails I receive are about the show... hopefully that'll slow down a bit between now and the show date (in April). Excited about the possibilities... enjoying meeting new people because of it as well (yeah tarah... yeah mike... yeah laura....)

My fingers are too frozen to type... go ahead, breathe a sigh of relief. I wont be offended, I'm bored too.
