Post a comment just to let me know someone read this.

How are you doing? If anyone actually reads this, leave a comment, vent about something (i'll commiserate), or tell me some good news (i'll congratulate). I'll take pretty much anything. I'd just like to feel some connectivity right about now.

hi corrie! have you seen smokin' aces? because i think you would appreciate it. or i could be totally wrong about that.

[fore_eyes]

I have not seen it, but I do think it looks promising. My husband wanted to see it REALLY bad, but we haven't had time. Is it still in theaters? If it is we could go this weekend.

[veryfancy]

it is, but they just cut back on the showings (at least in my city anyway). let me know what you think if you see it!

[fore_eyes]

I totally would have gone to it this weekend, but it isn't showing here anymore. Connecticuts theaters suck. I'll get it off Netflix.

[imnotveryclever]

Hiya, Corrie.

[fore_eyes]

Suz, did you read the post?! You're supposed to do the work FOR me. Vent, Brag, do SOMETHING! Geez. Guffaw. Pfft.

[imnotveryclever]

Aww, shoot. You broke out onomonipeias and everythang.

I have to go to work, but I'll think of something more interesting to post.

Also, I do believe this is my first LJ activity in quite a long time.

[imnotveryclever]

I'm choosing to vent since I have nothing to brag about.

I'm fucking poor and I hate it. I can barely pay all my bills and I work 40 hours a week. Did I mention that I hate it?

My roomies are slobs, what should I do?

I'm going to see the Matches and the Higher next week, I'm super excited.

Where have you been?

Do you like Anberlin?

Where have you been?

I'm one of the messiest people I know so I probably cannot help you. Whenever my super tidy roommate tried to get me to clean I'd told me things were looking way too messy I'd get defensive, but I would clean up eventually. I think people a less put off by being asked to keep things clean(er) that are communal (not that they aren't all somewhat) like bathroom and kitchen/fridge/dish. Again, I'm a slob, and I've yet to be converted.

I've been in Connecticut. Rotting. I just can't find anything worthwhile to say on LJ anymore. And, it seemed like most of the people I'd friended weren't really on it anymore either. So, I just kind of drifted away from it.

I've never heard Anberlin. Are they pop punk? I'm not really into pop punk anymore.

See above.

[rebekha_james]

Yea, I don't think she's going to budge. But I may put snakes in her bed.

Understandable.

I would say pop rock rather than punk... idk. There wasn't a real point to that question. Or maybe there is... They are playing a show on thursday, on the other side of the state. If I were to go, I'd be missing a class on friday, and I really don't like to miss class. What should I do?

[fore_eyes]

wow. my post read like gibberish. i think i'm taking crack without my own consent or knowledge.

Well, if you haven't missed class before I say DOOOOOOOOOOOO IT. Especially if you know people who can give you notes or whatevs. Personally, I'm pro skipping. But, it probably depends on the prof. Can you read what he lectures on in your textbook? If so, why bother going this one day.

I haven't gotton into college yet and my daddy just got mad at me because when we filled out that form thingy it said we wouldn't get that much money and both schools I appiled to are private and cost alot and I feel really bad right now because I applied for all these scholoships, but I can't help that I'm white upper-middle class and therefore there are no scholarships for me. and I don't know if I should just tell him that I'll go to county college for two years and keep my job and save up so I can help him pay for it when I transfer...but I REALLY REALLY don't want to stay here. :(

[fore_eyes]

I don't know. I think that the debt you'll take on going somewhere you really want to be is probably worth it. I stayed in my hometown and went to college there and found myself so miserable I dropped out and moved half way across the country. But, it's really not the same for everyone. Talk to Suz, she went to a private college, maybe she can explain more of the money matters???

[sueher]

I've only realized recently that the people i've been hanging out with for years are insensitive douche bags who care more about their social standings than my personal well being. I've also come to realize how awesome my family is, and I think i'm one of the few who DON'T want to move out for school.

Also, I need a good book to read. Any suggestions?

[fore_eyes]

I think a lot of people in their late teens early twenties go through the rough process of realizing some of the people they hang out with because they've always hung out need to be dropped like it's hot. You're molting!!

If the college in my town was not a complete waste of time, I don't think I would have been nearly as inclined to leave. Plus, I came from a podunk area, you live in a city... with trains!!! University isn't your only opportunity to leave home. Do what you gotta do. My fam is pretty awesome, too, when they're not lame...

My husband has been reading (and loving) Neal Stephenson novels. Cryptonomicon and Snow Crash in particular. The latter being a "cyber punk" novel. Whatever that means. I've been reading a series by James Clavell about the East India Company/pirates/trading dynasties in early Hong Kong, and I was trying to read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged for the bijillionth time until I forgot it in Wisconsin.
