tonight is one of those nights where everything is somewhat terrifying, yet also everything is exciting. this is a dichotomy that i like to have in my life, although it can be a little weird at times. its always a little disconcerting, yet completely normal i suppose, when emotions can't be placed and nothing can be rationalized. i guess this is ( Read more... )

ps. in/humanity are one of the best bands ever.

i'm in a relationship now, which is somewhat weird, since, you know, i'm never in relationships. it is new and exciting though, i must admit, and definitely a really positive thing. it is funny though, since when i was going through fairly rough times a couple months / weeks ago, i was ridiculously fixated on this mythologized notion of a ( Read more... )

i got in my first bike-and-car accident yesterday, yet the funny this is that instead of getting hit by a car, i actually hit the car. i don't really remember too much, except that the dude driving in front of me stopped abrubtly to turn, which combined with my general spacing out and my shitty breaks, prompted me to run right into the back of the ( Read more... )

while this is a little old, it still stands as one of the best email exchanges ever. christian rules, and this email is a prime example of why. so absurd ( Read more... )

i'm thinking about getting an emma goldman tattoo on my upper back. its basically a black-and-white drawing of the mug shot picture that everyone knows, and would be taken from quiet rumors. my major concerns are that its basically a really anarcho tattoo, which has always seemed very strange and impersonal to me, and that, in a sense, tattooing ( Read more... )

ncor was fun. it was nice seeing a lot of kids that i haven't seen in forever, including all the infested kids, dc kids that i don't run into enough, danielle, adriane, mae, matt painter, and whomever else i'm forgetting due to lack of sleep. it was also nice meeting a bunch of new kids, and i'm very glad to know that fork-tongued josh is now a ( Read more... )

the first thirty pages or so of the silmarillion is probably some of the most beautiful fiction i've ever read in my life. totally epic and intense and amazing, and as christian and i discussed in our usual bro-down of LOTR and black metal, nations should just adopt tolkien's creation myth as their own. i mean, religion is generally pretty ( Read more... )
