i seriously need to stop going out. perhaps even stop drinking [as much]. the last 3 times i've gone out has resulted in alienating "friends", getting nearly ditched at a party, and possibly offending people i just met and pissing off local pseudo-rock stars

Justin,
It sounds to me like you are just hanging around all the lame scenester weenie bitchy assholes. Why? Why subject yourself to that crowd and culture, only to denounce them? Find people that really care about you, YOU, not their fucking image and lame ass band. I mean you're right. Austin is full of superficial people. But not everyone is. I can attest to that. I have several friends and aquaintences, but I'm not popular. Most of the people I've met are really down to earth, and interested in knowing me for me, not for my reputation (I don't have one, btw-beat-that I know of).

Anyway. Take care of yourself. You're a good guy. You deserve not to be treated like shit.
And NOT be THAT guy.
Don't be offended. I just want you to be happy. I know we haven't talked very much, but I honestly don't have time for very many people right now (due to work and school). Did you ever get that class?

apparently ben dated someone in the applicators?? and he's like me in that he's easily bitter about shit like that?? i dunno.. plus i dated a girl who's in a band with another one of his ex's so maybe he knew who i was in the first place.. i just thought it was silly that he wouldn't tell me in the first place so i kept pressing the issue and annoying everyone else in meantime. but seriously, like who the fuck am i to care so much that someone won't tell me what band they're playing with?? maybe it was because of the "do people still like J Church" thing.. maybe he actually got offended by that. yeah that's prolly it. i've recently developed this knack to offend and alienate people within minutes of meeting them. i rule at life.
