Ooook.

TurkeyKeg-GobbleFest didn't go over so well. It got busted before we even got there (and we got there pretty early too, like midnight). As we're walking there: "Why is everyone going the opposite direction?" So sadly we didn't get to meet our "neighbors" or the infamous Donnie.
Instead we randomly end up in Green Hills and -this is so weird- we run into Gilliam's Natalie there. Small world, I say.
So good times. Especially good cuz we really thought we would not survive the car ride there. And, as I love to do, I will let the quotes of the night tell the rest of the story:
"Do you guys like Korn?"
"I'm gonna stop and get a McRib."
"I don't know what your lifestyle is, but I'd like to take you out some time." (Who says that?!?!)
"I love you."
"What's your favorite Nine Inch Nails album? Downward Spiral?"
"You get The Bod of the Year Award!"
"Come on! I have The Bod of the Year!"
"I was really offended that she wouldn't drink to anyone I wanted to drink to." "I'm sorry. To Tupac."
"I'm gonna go back there and say bye to this kid" ::goes down the hall:: "I don't think there's anyone back there."
"Why were you going to that party?" "The South African exchange student was gonna be there." "Oh really, I'm from Croatia."
"Oh, I've been to Boston." "Did you like it?" "Well, I haven't actually been there. My grandparents got married there. So I'm kinda from there."
"You look exactly like Elizabeth Hurley!"
"Where are you guys at?" "We're on a long road."
Lucky for you, you even get pictoral supplements:

Exactly 24 hours...

From kick-off!!!
Tomorrow is going to be the best/biggest/most fun/best win in college football. And unfortunetly, I'm gonna be watching it in my living room in Nashville, Tennessee. HOWEVER, I cannot wait and it's gonna be a blast.
So, if it's 24 hrs till kick-off, that means 28 hrs till the riots start. As tradition goes, riots if we win, riots if we lose.
Good times. I love Brutus Buckeye; he's the cutest mascot EVER!
::hugs::












P.S. Listen to this: "Tickets prices for tomorrow's college football game between No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 University of Michigan are surpassing those for the World Series and matching lower-end Super Bowl tickets on Internet resale sites. The average ticket price for tomorrow's Michigan at Ohio State game is $835." -http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601079&sid=atXbvyqhBEcM&refer=home

P.S.S. Lookie!!!! It's Brutus back in 1965!!! AHHH!!! I want to hug him SO bad!

Rocketown = Stress

Rocketown is ruining my life!!!! I have never been so stressed out than I have this semester and it is all their (and Belmont's) fault.
So, Saturday was our benefit show and it went fantastically. All our bands showed up, 200+ people ... yada yada. It was great. But wait, it's not over! I still have to have my own show next Monday. We're talking 6 days. I am not ready. I can't get ahold of one of my artists, the other one will only agree to perform 3 songs, I have no posters/promo material. I don't even know what time this god-forsaken thing is going to be at.
Ooooh ... do you know what this is about to turn into??
Rant #6: Why I Hate My Life
So basically, this has been the crappiest semester of my life. Which continued over from a kinda crappy summer. I HATE school. I HATE my major but it's too late to change it w/o practically starting over. I don't want to work in PR. I dont want to hate my life/job for the next 40 years.
I hate my internship. We're basically just volunteers, and I haven't learned ANYTHING even remotely closely connected to public relations. I've learned how to take out the trash and run coat check though. Wahoo. I'm glad I'm getting a $100,000 degree to be someone's janitor.
I hate Nashville. I hate the south. This town is so effin' boring, so country, so horrible. I miss home. I miss going to good shows. I miss High Street and The Newport. I miss Buehler's and going to church and knowing everyone there. I miss Grandma living in her old house. I miss Angela. And I miss seeing my baby sister grow up.
I hate my friends (Angela and I's ultimate oxymoron). Well, it's not that I hate them. They're nice, fun people. They are not, however, the people I want to surround myself with in my idealistic world. I could never have a conversation about "overpopulation in India" with any of them.
I also hate the my car is about to break down any minute and the best possibility of me getting a new on is winning one on The Price is Right. I hate that the heat has not worked in 3 years and I'm effing tired of freezing every time I get in the car (let alone make the 7 hour drive home).

::deep breath::
Ok, I'm ok. I desperately want to see the Chinese Herbalist Man. I don't wanna be a Pill Popper or go to the shrink. But somethings gotta give.

Hey, getting my narciscistic mind off myself for one second (which is, I know, 1/2 the key to my problems), you should check out this site - www.twloha.com Better yet, if you're in Nashville, come to the show tomorrow night at Rocketown. To Write Love On Her Arms is this fab organization and I'm doing merch for them tomorrow night so you should come out, support them, say hi to me and rock out to some great jams.

What happened to "Didi, My Doe (Pt. 1)"??

Just always wondered that.
SO. Last night my sister, who is my ubercool hero, pays $40 for a crappy ticket at the absolute second, meets a venue worker pre-show and ends up in the 2nd ROW of the Rolling Stones concert in Oakland.
And she callssssss me and I get to hear Micky introduce the band! "On the drums, Chaaaalie Watts!" ::insert drum solo:: "On the guitar, Keith Richaaads!" ::insert Keith playing and then saying "This one's called 'You Got The Silver'." AND I got to hear "Under My Thumb"!!!!
Ok, so I know I wasn't at the show, but I'm ecstatic.
Don't tell anyone I cried when I first heard Mick on the phone.
