But for real though they are both kind of lame and I am not going to try very hard to get with either of them. Also both have made enemies of the friends through whom I am acquainted to them... what? Was that unintelligible? Anyway, no one is reading this. You know what I like is that catchy new Weezer single. It's no fucking El Scorcho though.

I know everyone has probably heard Dynamite Hack's cover of "Boyz in tha Hood" and probably thinks it is the definitive cover of a gangsta rap song by some white guys, but I submit to you that Ben Folds' cover of "Bitches Ain't Shit" is probably the greatest thing you will ever hear. I gots to put this on the jukebox every I am at the Chat Room.

I feel bad for not commenting as much as I should, guys, but I am a lurking lurker. I resolve to try to be more involved in your livejournals. I know how important it is to feel like someone is paying attention! Here are some things that have happened to me recently:

1. I went to a party Saturday night and there was someone there who I made out with at another party, and he was totally nice to me all night. That is how it should be, am I right? Don't flip your shit and act all awkward like it was some huge mistake. Although I can't decide if he was nice because he genuinely thinks I'm a cool lady and he wants to be friends, or if because his default setting is 'flirt,' or if he was nice because he feels sorry for me or something. I don't think it's the last one. Anyway, whatever, I will probably see him at the next party too. UGH I HUGGED HIM LIKE THREE TIMES. I was trying to say goodbye to everyone but he just kept hugging me and my sister was like, "We have to go, it's 3:00 and I am drunk and let's go." So, you know, I think Jeff McDowell was also in the room like, "What the fuck is up with Jessi and Adam? Are they even friends?" And I didn't get to say goodbye to anyone else!

2. My birthday is Saturday! I will be 22 and we are going to the bar! It should be a pretty good time. I know Lauren is having a Rap Party, so I was a little torn on what to do, because probably her Rap Party will fucking rule, but on the other hand, if I go to the bar, probably everyone will buy my drinks. And possibly make me mix CDs and hugs, and I am pretty into getting hugs. You can find me in the club, etc etc so come give me a hug. I like to quote 50 whenever possible.

3. I have started going to the gym with Annie and sometimes John. I think John is committed, but he needs to start taking some protein shakes or something, because he sets the resistance crazy high on the elliptical trainer and then he runs a lap on the treadmill. He might shrivel up and die. Anyway, it is good times, and I have a workout playlist on my iPod that really makes it fly by. I am feeling pretty good. Hopefully I will get addicted to working out and be all fit and cute instead of fat and lumpy.

4. I actually dreamt I was an architect! It was so weird. I was getting all of these big, important projects and I was like, "Sweet, multi-million dollar payday, but, uh, guys, I am just an intern and Jens Lekman is playing a house party RIGHT NOW and I NEED TO GO!" So I dunno, but I did but my tickets to Jens Lekman today. I think Brad from the Chat Room is going to go. (That is a bar by my sister's house. Brad is the owner, also, a fatal cutie pants and sweet guy. Also, one of the bartenders is married to a guy in The Theater Fire, otherwise known as Fort Worth band of awesome and epic win which has been MIA for too long, and why will they not play a damn show.)

And now, here is a survey I stole from Classi. I have time to do it because Structure of Modern English was cancelled today. That class is entirely diagramming sentences and I cannot stress how much it fucking rules. It is not your dad's diagramming sentences! I think this system was invented by Noam Chomsky and it is hella fun. Also, it makes me feel smart. ANYWAY.

1. Pick three (or more) of your characters.
2. Create a playlist for each character that best describes them.
3. Post links or lyrics for all to enjoy!

( Here we go! )

Doodly-doo, I stole this from Classi. Er, I took it from Classi. I dunno, I didn't think it was boring! But then again, I love to hear myself talk. And I thought it made a nice, pointless change of pace from all my moping. (For the record, I think things are okay with Colin. As okay as they can be.)

( Just read it, okay? )

Holy shit dudes, I updated thedeathsession. It's a friends only entry though, so, I dunno, friend it? I think it's nice. I wanna start writing moar.

It's the holidays

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last week I gave thedeathsession a kidney (1000 points). In October I signed my organ donor card (28 points). In April I gave change to a homeless guy (19 points). Last Monday I saved a busload of nuns in Angola (326 points). Last Tuesday I gave liam_is_a_girl a life-saving blood transfusion (50 points). Overall, I've been nice (1423 points). For Christmas I deserve a red Radio-Flyer wagon! Sincerely, la-bien-rose

I don't know anything about Perez Hilton, but I really felt him in that Rolling Stone article where he said that he didn't want to be in a relationship because he felt fat and unsexy. That's how I feel. I am going to try to self-improve. I have started with hygiene, and improved my diet a little bit, although I did eat gelato today and yesterday. But I am cutting out sodas and eating more fruit and vegetables. So... I dunno. I wish it wasn't this hard, and I wish I wasn't so lonely.

Shaun found a book at Barnes & Noble that lists Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain as the ninth most important novel of all time. This is a fact we plan on flaunting shamelessly during our roundtable (despite that fact that some other group is doing Anna Karenina which is probably like, #1). Also, if you think I am not going to make a jersey for our team, "The Magic Mountains," with MANN 9 on the back





you are wrong.

Here is a playlist that I put together for a thread at a message board where I ... *sob* used to roleplay. It's a character themed list for... *sobsobsob* Rinoa. Well, she was a badass when I was playing her.

Yes, I know.

Anyway, I never actually posted it there because everyone else liked video game music and Dream Theater and generic alt rock, but I know that I have some cool kids on my friends list who might be able to appreciate it. Anyway, it's CD length. In fact, I just dug it up again and put it on a CD because I needed some new music in the car. Even though the CD player in the car has a habit of stopping mid-song like a stupid bastard. Anyway.

Brazillian Girls - Don't Stop
Dntel - (This is) The Dream of Evan and Chan
Dosh - Pink Floyd Cowboy Song
Jens Lekman - And I Remember Every Kiss
The Decemberists - The Engine Driver
The Polyphonic Spree - Soldier Girl
Islands - Rough Gem (a new addition to the list, not really for the theme)
Spoon - I Summon You
Sean Lennon - Parachute
Franz Ferdinand - Eleanor Put Your Boots Back On
Minus the Bear - Women We Haven't Met Yet
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - House Fire
The Decemberists - From My Own True Love (Lost at Sea)
Cake - I Will Survive
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Le Tigre - The The Empty
Maximo Park - Apply Some Pressure (another new, non-theme one)

In my street cred defense, I never actually liked roleplaying or kept up with the site. I joined as a favor to a friend and because I like to write. Not that you can tell. Anyway, that's it pretty much.

Bill Moyers is talking about the Amish shooting. It is too depressing. I need the British cop dramas to start now before I sell all my shit and move into a farmhouse.
