I know I've thanked people a million times for responding to my AFI post, but I'd just like to thank them time number 1,000,001. so...thanks. anyway, i've been freaking out all day because i'm behind on my work (or at least the schedule i made up for myself) so i've got to get my ass in gear. too bad my clutch doesn't work...whatever that's supposed...

so i had a paper due today on irish music (that was actually due wednesday, but i talked my way out of it), but i went out the bar last night with my friends under the pretense that we were just going to stay for A beer. A-double-bold, quadruple-underlined. needless to say, you can never have just one beer. especially if it's guinness. and then,...

I was just teasing. I just couldn't figure out what kinda school would grant a diploma for a paper on AFI.
so i've got all of 24 days before all of my final work for school is due...then, no more school ever...at least until grad school, but who knows when and if that'll happen. anyway, it's gonna be a hellish few weeks, but it'll all be worth it. on a sadder note, i talked to heather this weekend after a couple weeks of intense pseudo flirting...

dont let skynard get ya down
i've noticed a disturbing trend over the last few days...i've been listening to nothing but southern rock/country and drinking a lot of jack daniels. and i'm feeling nostalgic for things that i've never had. i think that i'm having some sort of lemming-like reaction, and i'm being drawn slowly towards the south, where done my ancestors came from...anyway, i just spent a very nice few...

i am deeply saddened by the fact that i didn't get to go to the burlesque show tonight. but que sera sera. i got some of my massive amounts of work done, and i took a nap. i know they don't sound like exciting things, but, i'm trying to look on the bright side. there's a silver lining to everything right?

sitting here alone with a bottle of Bull's Blood, listening to my newly aquired Cure box set (worth every penny!), and reading Charles Bukowski, when I came across this:
OH, YES
"there are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realize this
and more often
when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than
too late."
