yes, um, er, here i am posting. first i will begin by addressing some of em's questions. yes i got stuck in mad crazy beltway traffic and became filled with rage. it took like 3-4 hours to get to philly and then i could not park my car, oweing to the fact that i was tired and felt like death on a stick. at one point i leaned out the window and swore at a cab driver who was honking at me. finally, i parked, but have since gotten ticketed. also, as soon as i arrived safely at cynthia's we had wine and martinis, so much for not drinking. in answer to the other question-- things got extremely out of hand after the naked pool. em, you were sleeping, so you are lucky because you at least slept some, and you got to leave early in the morning. i hung out and ate the breakfast of awkwardness with kev-dog's parents, and was like, so, naked on your pool table last night, yep. but they seemed inordinatly cool about everything. anyhow. tell him i say hello if you see him.

Doesn't anybody ever post here anymore? Well, I had something of a remarkable weekend. So Wendy is currently touring the east coast, & arrived at my house on Saturday evening after, apparently, getting quite lost. Then my parents fed us & we were invited to a party, so we hurried off to that. It turned out pretty well -- mainly we drank beer & watched this one guy's band play. Unfortunately I was all tired & fell asleep & Wendy had to drive us home. On Sunday morning I had foolishly agreed to help the Unitarian youth group spread publicity for this May Day party they're having next week. They wanted people to help them drive around to other local UU churches & tell their youth group about the party so they would come too. It would have been churlish to say no to this, but when Wendy & I arrived at the church in the morning, it turned out that nobody had made any plans & everybody had forgotten about it & the girl who's in charge of the youth group wasn't there. She finally showed up like half an hour late, acting all tired & strung out, & we stood around for a while being like "well, do you want to try to go anyway? Do you know how to get there? I don't know how to get there. Well, I don't know, what do you want to do?" Eventually it was decided that it was too late. Stupid flaky Unitarians. So then Wendy & I went to the thrift store instead. The thrift store didn't open for an hour, but we fortuitously happened upon some yard sales & flea markets nearby. I got a cool rotary phone for free, & an umbrella for 50 cents, & an old-fashioned iron & a blue sweater thing. Wendy got a book on Revolutionary War trivia that features rebuses & crossword puzzles & promises to be hours of fun. Then we went back to the thrift store, which really isn't very good, but I got a vinyl copy of Armed Forces for $1. It is going to act as a backup copy in case something happens to my other vinyl copy of Armed Forces. So then later that afternoon we went out to see A Mighty Wind with my friend Kevin. After that we decided to have cocktail hour, & went to the store to get mixers. We decided to play an hilarious prank on the driver of the Lexus convertable parked next to us (Kev-dog apparently hates Lexuses for some reason) by finished an almost-empty bottle of gin we had in the car & depositing the empty bottle on the driver's seat. Then we played a lot of pool at Kevin's house, & it eventually turned into a game of strip pool that got rather out of hand. I don't know precisely how out of hand it got, though, because I fell asleep on the floor (this seems to have been something of a theme that weekend). So when I woke up in the morning I was extremely tired, hung over, & not in my own home, & I had to go to work. When I got there, quite naturally, I felt like death warmed over, & I was like "hey I feel really bad" & the work people were like "hey just go home." So then I went home & slept for many hours. It was great. Eventually Wendy had to leave to go see Cyn. Hey Wendy, I hope you didn't get stuck in really bad rush-hour traffic on the beltway -- I didn't think of that until way later. Also, that night I watched Manor House on PBS. Manor House is beast. I highly recommend that you start watching it now so you don't fall behind. Yeah, I think that's all.

my train journey was very exciting: i read a lot, slept a lot, watched the harry potter movie twice, and got in trouble for trying to steal a blanket from first class. most importantly, they have happy hour on the train, which i think is a nice touch, although the train sways quite a bit making drunk walking tricky. eventually, the train arrived in elyria at around 2:30 in the morning, and of course my parents were NOT there to pick me up. in keeping with the elyria is ghetto-tastic theme the 'train station' is a tar paper shack filled with broken furniture. spray painted on the door were the words "smoking lounge 4 20." i would have been quite frightened to wait there alone, but luckily there were 3 other people there also waiting for a ride. they were clearly oberlin students, and by way of starting conversation i asked them if they were from oberlin. for some reason, they seemed surprised by my question-- as if anyone but an obie would be wearing hippy clothes and sitting in the elyria train station at 3am. so we had a nice conversation about oberlin and why there were no train stations in south dakota and eventually my parents showed up. it was pure happiness.

I forgot about this until just now, but here's a thing I overheard when I was in the used bookstore this weekend: "No, you've got it backward! Arlo Guthrie was Woody Guthrie's son! It doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you've got it backward! It qualifies you to be President! If you've got it backward, you can be President of the United States!"

The problem with nice weather is that sleep and sex suddenly seem infinitely more important than doing work or, say, graduating. It's not so much the sex that worries me as the sleep. I'm like, "It's warm, I should take a little nap." Except I think that all day long. Really, it's becoming a problem. Any minute now, Rachel and Dani are going to have some sort of intervention where they tell me they notice I've been sleeping excessively and I try to convince them I just need to "rest my eyes" every few hours. Actually*yawn*, come to think of it, my eyelids are feeling kinda droopy...

I don't particularly feel like writing all about my weekend, so I will content myself with letting you know that good ol' Josh Ritter has his picture in Details magazine, & with asking WHO IN HELL keeps sending me these secret crush e-mails?

Awesome Thrillzilla! show last night. Some things I realized after last night's show.
1. We can draw and hold a crowd. The fact that there were still a large number of people there when we ended at _2:30 AM_ tells me we're doing something right.
2. I'm always surprised when we do a show at how well it turns out. But the fact is, I can't remember a show that I feel went poorly. Maybe I shoud stop being surprised and just accept that we can actually play.
3. I wish there was a way to actually make a living playing in a band, because it's the most fun I've ever had. However, reality always steps in.
Special thanks go out this week to Julie, first for the awesome interview, and second for showing up last night. Sorry we got screwed on the time and you couldn't see us perform, but it was still awesome you came.

Drag Ball was the debauched genderfucked party it promised to be (despite the fact that students organized the whole thing this year). I spent a really long time making my fuckbuddy into a pretty girl and, damn was he pretty! Rachel went as Lev and she was really quite convincing. Dani was a sleazy gym teacher, complete with track suit, headband, aviator glasses and a whistle. I was a thirteen-year-old boy in rave pants, a big old sweatshirt and a scull cap (also Phil's undies-- thanks, Phil). Also, Jake was there for some reason and he said he was rolling.
Rachel and Dani got a little carried away with the pre-gaming and had to leave almost as soon as they got there. I stuck around for the runway show, flirted with that girl from my exco last year (the one with the great eyes and tits) and she really made me feel like a thirteen-year-old boy, let me tell you. Fuckbuddy and I went to the tent of consent, but found it to be quite lame, so we ran up to the fourth floor of Wilder and had sex in the bathroom instead. It was quite racey as we almost got caught and had to come out all post-coitally flushed and sheepish, not quite looking the "PeaceKeepers" in the eye. I eventually left when the runway show was over and my breasts were threatening to break through the duct tape. All in all, I'd say it was a hell of a good time. Only, now I have work to do and my sink is full of hair that isn't mine. Eeew.

I have a mystery telephone caller! He calls my house asking from Emily, but does not leave a message or say who he is, & my mom says he sounds like a young man. This has happened 3 times, each of which I was out, & that's not counting the times he may have tried to call & found the line busy. It is puzzling to me b/c I cannot think of any young men who would have that number but not my cell phone # or e-mail address, & who would be reluctant to leave messages. So if you are the mystery caller, & you are some psycho stalker who masturbates to my picture on this website, I would advise you to put a stop to it! Nobody is allowed to masturbate to that picture except me! Oh, & the same goes for whoever sent me that damn "secret crush" e-mail a few weeks back.

The theme for this year's Drag Ball is "Ex-lovers and Friends." What the fuck kind of a theme is that, I ask you? Well, I now have two boys to make pretty so I guess I don't really care. Getting ready is really about the best part anyway.

I hate nicotine withdrawl. It's so much easier when I don't remember this shit. The plus side is I'm done with the internet at it's only 7:00 in the morning, so I can update my resume and then go to the gym all before work. Yeah!!!
