Whoops. Guess I wont be coming to Bloomington tonite. Even if I wanted to, Id prolly get lost as a bastard. I need a map or a GPS system or something, I have no sense of direction. It took me a week, a fucking week before I could confidently get from Pekin to Peoria to Canton to Creve Coeur. And I still cant get around a lot of Peoria, most notably the north side, without having a panic attack. Though, if your interested, next Friday theres a show at the East Peoria legion hall at 7. Metal bands, Im pretty sure. 7th Overture, Cygnus Loop, Rye Field Crane, and Minsk, I think. The EPLH kinda sucks as avenue, its a dirty, tiny, place that has cowboy themed bathroomsbut its a dirty tiny place with cowboy themed bathrooms and live music! And a bar. That is, if youre interested.
A good way to get thru a writing assignment what your stuck on, is to take the assignment and write something fictional on it. Just make shit it for a while. It clears the limits you have set for yourself and gets the creative juices flowing, as it is. And youll prolly come up with something, a phrase or sentence or idea, that you can run with in the real assignment. I dunno how it is with research assignments and such, but in my writing and lit classes, thats usually what worked with me. Er

Oh, and my cat's name is Patches, btw. If you couldn't tell from the wildly unimaginative name, she's a calico. She's also approximately 16yo (we got her in '89), missing a tooth and has a tumor in her mouth.
And are you still serious about pulling a Tank Girl? If so, you have my full support. If the picture of you in your Pics section is any kind of recent photo, i think you'd look quite spiffy as such. But on the off chance it comes out looking peculiar, have some hair dye handy. It's my experience that dye makes any style look great. I think it's the general consensus that if it's bad and dyed, it's a statement. I mean, why else would you draw attention to it other wise?
