Hide your feathers on the back porch
Hi, internets! It has been a while, huh? Today I have the day off and no real plans, which pretty much never happens. I am going to talk about RL for a little while.
Hmm, I was going to give this more backstory, but basically the point is that occasionally I hang out with Christina, who has a brain tumor and a learning disability, because I feel bad and no one else ever does. It's not that bad, we usually just go to the mall and try on necklaces at Claire's and such. But Friday she more or less tricked me into taking her 'boyfriend' with us, which was way not cool. She has dated less-than-winners in the past. So we spent some awkwardtimes at the mall but I survived.
She calls me the next morning and says that he got arrested--supposedly for not paying a ticket for a car accident/appearing in court, but who knows if that's the truth or not. My life, so exciting!
Ugh, really though, it is such a bad situation. Brain cancer is, you know, pretty serious, but her mom is still mean to her and her dad and stepmom don't seem to really care, and she can't drive so she doesn't get to go out unless I take her, which means LOTS of calls and texts about "heeeey when are we going out next." She also doesn't like to hang out with Erin, which is annoying.
In other news, hi, I still have no idea what I want to do with my life. I haven't done anything even remotely school related this semester which is kind of awesome and kind of horrible. I really don't want to go to UCF because it is SO FAR AWAY FROM HERE (seriously, it's like 40 minutes if you don't take the toll road, and $4.50 in tolls if you do) but I don't really have any other financially feasible options! FUN.
It also turns out that I have to work this entire weekend, which means missing the sort-of Barenaked Ladies concert and probably seeing Watchmen with everybody, but whatever. I am employed! I will show up when they tell me to and complain to lj not complain.
As far as shows go, I am dumb and did not make sure to get a ticket to The Ting Tings at the Social and it is sold out, as is the one in Tampa, sigh. But Band Marino are playing a show at the Social with As Tall as Lions and Dear and the Headlights on March 25th! I saw ATAL with them once before, actually, and it was good times. I do wonder how this is going to affect Band Marino's magical EP that never seems to come out. At the Gainesville show Nathan was like "It's coming out sometime! Maybe..." and guys, it's an EP. That means 6-8 songs, tops! WE NEED IT, OKAY? But whatever, they're playing shows with JP from Baron Von Bear and his trumpet/keyboard skills are a big time upgrade to their songs. I hope they keep him forever.
Alsoooo I would love to go to the No Doubt/Paramore/The Sounds show at the Ford Amphitheater, but goddamn, $80+? It's called the economy, guys, maybe you have heard that it is DYING IN A FIERY BLAZE OF FIRE? I mean, I guess No Doubt are a big name and it's their first tour back etc., but still. I'm saving my $80 for the Blink 182 tour. I can't believe that's going to happen this year! Also I'm sure U2 is going to tour again, and although I am not entirely loving the new album yet, I do need to see them and Green Day before I die, so really, this is looking like a good year for reaching some life goals. (Why is MyChem's first show back in Japan? Faaail.)
Is anyone watching Dollhouse on Fox? It seems like they really have it out for Joss Whedon, what with the Friday night timeslot and Foxification of the first few episodes, but I think it has some potential, and also I am amusing myself by calling the nerdy tech guy XanderWash, because come on. It'll definitely be worth watching once the main villain shows up, anyway.
Alright, breakfast/lunch time! Today is going to be AWESOME.
