So I dyed my hair red sort of… it’s just you know… less drastic than I expected it to be. I do have terrible lighting in my apartment so maybe I just can’t tell but… y’know… I did it… so that’s cool.
Yesterday was the big Twilight thing. It was a pretty sweet event. Backstage spread was really top notch. I love eating top notch food for free. Mainly because I hardly make enough money for medium notch food so the only way for me to eat top notch food is if it’s free. I think I saw Taylor Lautner but I dunno man, there were a bunch of dudes that looked realllly similar so I have no idea what I was looking at really… Plus, I didn’t go to the screening with the band so I don’t even know who anyone is or what they look like. Also they had the autograph signing during all the bands except Death Cab. So during the other three bands which all played 20 minute sets all the people who came to see it were standing in line… and then got to see Death Cab play TWO songs. Pretty sure most of them were just there for the autographs anyway. I will say that I saw plenty of fat chicks… but plenty of non-fat chicks as well. Mostly bratty teens screaming at their parents or just out of pure excitement. There was a lot of time for me to meet in person many of the people I communicate with on a daily basis at work. Interesting to put names to faces. They always look different than I imagine them to look.
People know that Inglewood is its own city don’t they…?
… SIGH.
Dude was an asshole. Who cares what he believes or where he’s from. He. Was. An. Asshole.
He deserves to be anally raped in prison. Unfortunately we can’t send him to Guantanamo Bay because again, a bunch of PANSIES had to complain about it… GEEZ. (yeah yeah I know there is more than that when it comes to g-bay but still, this asshole deserves to go there. maybe not everyone there deserved to go there but this dude does. I’m sure we have some giant submarine prison that floats in international waters anyway to deal with the really horrifying assholes and no pansy journalists get to find out about it… go write about jon and kate, they get you better ratings anyway)
Like I said, dude is an ASSHOLE. It has nothing to do with anything other than him being an asshole and that’s how this shit should be treated. There are plenty of muslims and plenty of soldiers AND plenty of gun owners out there who aren’t fucking sociopaths. FUCK.
Don’t talk to me about this. I’ll just get mad. If I see one malicious word about American soldiers I will fucking lose it. Tumblr, you and I won’t be friends anymore which sucks because I’ve been having a pretty good time here. All these mouthy little fucks with their mac books. gr. (also, some things just get to me. I have a soldier very near and dear to my heart and I don’t want to hear any bullshit about it. EVER. You only know what the media tells you to know. fuckin’ a.)

From NurtureShock:
In his new book, Dr. Joe Allen has concluded that our urge to protect teenagers from real life – because we don’t think they’re ready yet – has tragically backfired. By insulating them from adult-like work, adult social relationships, and adult consequences, we have only delayed their development. We have made it harder for them to grow up. Maybe even made it impossible to grow up on time.
Basically, we long ago decided that teens ought to be in school, not in the labor force. Education was their future. But the structure of schools is endlessly repetitive. “From a Martian’s perspective, high schools look virtually the same as sixth grade,” said Allen. “There’s no recognition, in the structure of school, that these are very different people with different capabilities.” Strapped to desks for 13+ years, school becomes both incredibly monotonous, artificial, and cookie-cutter.
Good thing my parents were from a communist country and didn’t believe in any of this coddling bullshit. Everyone is so god damned sensitive these days. Grow up ya fuckin’ pansies.
It’s been a few years at least since I stopped thinking British accents were charming. You can have any accent in the world but no accent will disguise douchebaggery.
Really haven’t had much to say here lately.
I saw Minus the Bear on Tuesday. It was really great. Last time I’d seen them I really liked where their new songs were taking them and now having heard some more new songs I am VERY excited about where the band is headed. They only played one song that was pre-Highly Refined Pirates… but that’s okay. They were never going to play the songs I wanted to hear after the new synth player anyway. Speaking of the new synth player, he is contributing in a beautiful way to the new songs. Awesome. Really awesome. They sounded really great even though the singer’s voice began cracking second song in. It was so refreshing to see them again that it didn’t matter. Makes me sad I didn’t catch up with Modest Mouse when they were in town but still, Anaheim? Come ON dudes. The thing about Minus the Bear is I’ve been listening to them for awhile now but they really define and memorialize certain fantastic moments throughout my college career and sometimes, I cry when I see them because it just sends all these amazing memories back into my head. Man, I have had some seriously good times.
So my boyfriend is in Chicago for two days and I get to babysit his dog unsupervised… Her name is Annie and we are having a fantastic time! We went on a long walk yesterday and it was awesome. I’ve wanted a dog to walk for a loooooong time. Maybe we’ll do a photo shoot while we watch The Office together later.
Also, in case you haven’t heard, Sea Wolf is on the New Moon soundtrack so I get to go to the premiere party tomorrow. They estimate 7000 people. I estimate complete and total chaos. Anyway, I hope I don’t die at a Twilight premiere. Really isn’t the way I envisioned goin’ out.
