i’m listening to… “learning to breathe” by switchfoot [alternative], “online” by de phazz [downtempo], “wo dou mo xianmu ni” by jiang meiqi [chinese], “gone” by n’sync [pop], “chingoo ga yen yin yi dwaeldi (or something” by k:ul [korean], “president of what” by death cab for cutie [asodijioa].
i’m feeling… kkk.
5:05 pm — i thought since i haven’t slept well for the past lord-knows-how-long that i’d be able to sleep in today, but nope, woke up @ like 12. rawr.
last few days have been interesting… friday, ummm was mcdonald’s 50th anniversary so me and lenny went to mcdonald’s (lewis, gareth, and eddie showed up shortly after just by coincidence!) and i had to buy two happy meals for my bosses… and chicken nuggets just for eating… spent like $15 @ mcdonald’s, omfg sick. and that equalled 1,000 calories, omfg, sick.
afterwards we sat around and andy came over cause me and andy were going to have sewing night! we went to rent some movies @ scarecrow, and wow, scarecrow is fsckin leet. i can’t believe i haven’t been there until now. :/ i’ve always been meaning to go but lazing out at the last moment. damn now that i think of it, i had a coupon for two free rentals with an account sign-up toO! fsck! andy rented “tampopo” ? some japanese movie, a belgium flick called “man bites dog,” and i rented “when a stranger calls” because i remember that in that movie the stalker guy paints himself to blend into walls and shit. BUT TURNS OUT that’s in the sequel, “when a stranger calls back.” fsck. so “when a stranger calls” was just super lame, and everyone hates my taste in movies, because last time liz suggested “final examination,” and i… said… ok. :/ and wasted $4. so total of $8 of wasted movie money wewtz0r. maybe i should just stick to watching my stupid hbo movies. man, i’m going to miss hbo after i move out - that’s like all i watch in nordy.
the “man bites dog” movie was really interesting, it was like this b&w (was it?) documentary about a serial killer with a film crew following him around… pretty funny… there’s this one part where they sit down at this guy’s birthday, and they give him a shoulder holster for his gun, and he’s like, “ooh this is cool,” and like waves it around and stuff, and accidentally shoots the guy across the table in the forehead, and there’s two girls at the table, and they just are covered with blood but afraid to say anything to they just sit there, staring at him… and one of the other dudes is about to cry… and the serial killer is just like, “hey, can i have some more cake?” tis grand.
i have concluded that i don’t usually like drinking too much because iono, i like walking around when i drink. or doing something. and the reason i don’t drink @ bars is cause it’s just a waste of money. and yeah.
lately alex has been my super buddy. if i go a day without seeing alex at least for like 2 minutes, it’s like… INCOMPLETE. omfg what to do i do when alex is no longer my neighbor and it no longer “has been real”? T__T
yesterday cynthia and i woke up early to go see the free copeland show @ ez street records… only, we got there @ like 2:10, and we couldn’t find parking and had to circle around for a while - so we finally got to ez @ 2:30, and we caught literally like 10 seconds of the end of copeland’s set, and that was it. fucking suck!
soo everything ends in disappointment, and we went back to eat @ thai-ger room with jenn, who is a bad girl! no explanation write-able here. yeah and then uhhhm so me and cynthia wanted to go quest, and trask joined us, and we were going to go to fremont, but decided on ballard instead. and i guess it turns out that ballard is a old viking town, but even that cannot save it from being a boring place with one ‘hip’ street and junkyards along the perimeter. so we parked (shittily @ that cause i park like a noob), and walked around… tried to climb a fire escape at this one restaurant / old fire station thing, but it was too high… found another building with a fire escape and trask boosted me up onto the ledge… got about a third of the way up and then decided, hmmm i am scared of heights and was too chicken to go all the way up. i guess i really should have, considering getting up to the first tier was the real hard part. hmm yeah should have. :/
broke my ring in the process too. :[ after having it for soo long without breaking it… i break those things hella frickin easily. :[ sux do i! afterwards we walked around this boat yard… and there was this really really nice boat with some carbon fiber satellite dish / nav system thing, and it even had matching blue cloth covers for like every panel… the wheel and boxes and stuff. freaks!
yes… and then yes. saw this really hip church too. it was like all black and they had bands play there and stuff o__O; aaah gotta do layouting for redefine today… :/ i mean uh yay!
that’s about it i guess. maybe there’s something else i’m missing. i can’t remember. but ballard = not that exciting. really.
went back and was supposed to go with trask to see his friend’s band, a fragile shade, play @ the rainbow room (on 45th), cept the bar was really strict and since trask is underage, we could not get in… they wouldn’t even let the band in for longer than it took them to play their set… pretty weak sauce. but i guessssssss it makes sennnnsssseeeee. but that sucks, driving all the way up from portland to play a ten second set! but i guess that’s what you gotta do.
so instead we went back to scarecrow and rented “stickmen,” which is this new zealand movie about pool… ummm yes, it was actually relatively interesting considering it was a movie about… pool. they compared it to “lock stock and two smoking barrels,” but i don’t know about that. i don’t see it.
afterwards we went to brett (wheezy) and jake’s apartment and sat around and took a couple of shots and then went to this four kegger party near cynthia’s place sorta. all of the proceeds went towards cancer, so that’s pretty cool. on the way there i told wheezy and trask that they’re like ostriches. cause they’re tall. and i was getting tired walking to keep up with them lmao. i don’t know where that came from, but yes… it kept coming up throughout the night for some reason.
anyhoo, there were a lot of people, i guess… or so it seemed, but it seemed like i kept seeing the same people over and over again and there weren’t really THAT many people. if that makes sense. we basically sat in one corner the whole time, near the microwave, sitting on the counter, near the entrance. lol. but it’s fun watching people.
wheezy was talking about how he caught this one guy masturbating in his room, and trask was yelling hella loud, “what, some guy got caught masturbating in his room?” when the guy was right behind him… and later the guy gave wheezy this look of like… death. lol. he was seriously looking at him like he was gonna kill him, but the guy was like half of wheezy’s size.
and also heard stories about how jake had to take testosterone pills or something, but he is already violent and horny or something so it just makes it worse har har har har huk. he also showed the secret of crushing a can on your forehead… squeeze in with your fingers while doing it. it’s so seempo!!
there was this one guy who walked in smoking, and i yelled, “smoking kills!” and trask was like, “smoking kills baby seals!” and the guy was like, “suck my nuts!” and trask was like, “okay!” and got on his knees lmao. X: and the guy just gave him this look like WTF. and the next time the dude walked by, trask was like, “look at those boobies!” and the guy looked at him, and trask was like, “what? i’m talking about patty!” and the guy just socked trask in the face. lmao. trask, such the drama king. but later they hugged and made up.
and the house was super weird. their ceiling had a light shaped like a boob. their ceiling was tiled like a kitchen floor. they had one of those old-school pencil sharpeners on their wall, they had like every cooking ingredient imagineable (although i was commenting on it, and this girl who i guess was a cook was like, “no! they have no appreciation for fresh basil, and their olive oil is the cheap safeway kind.” lmao.), and they had all these plants, and sea monkeys, and fish in a fish bowl that are probably really dead… and yeah. interesting house.
and on the way back trask and i climbed the fire escape of the 1104 building (or whatever the fuck it’s called) - it’s a part of uw housing that is just this giant house… and if you climb to the top of the fire escape, there’s this guy’s room, and he just leaves his window open, even though he has a playstation there and shit. -__-” i dunno what else he had, cause the blinds were down. but yeah fire escape ladders are damned scary dude. this one was alright because it was like… it had steps and a little bit of a slant, instead of just a straight ladder like they usually are… which leads me to wonder - how often do people fall off of fire escape ladders? they’re like, “OMFG FIRE,” and then *splat* dead.
