what up, guys? haven't posted in a while. that is all. |
So, I'm updating because a certain someone is stalker-flirting with me and wants a new LJ post to read.
The period of the past two weeks has been one of the happiest times in my life (except for the 4 days I spent at home because I was away from my baby). News travels pretty fast and I'm sure everyone will hear the news soon enough, so I'll leave it at that for now. All I have to say is that waking up with someone you care about in your arms is quite possibly the greatest thing ever (I don't care what Josh says, he snuggles with a dog so he has no say in the matter).
We're weird, kwazie and epic and I wouldn't have it any other way.Current Mood:  happy Current Music: MIttens - Ain't No Doubt About It |

I am very happy right now. I am also very drunk but that is beside the point because I'm very happy. I heart tonight. I'll explain it later when I'm more sober. :) |
OK. So it's that time again. The time where I think about how sad and lonely I am.
So. tonight I watched Say Anything... for the millionth time and it just got me thinking. Why the hell can't I have that? Why can't I find a Diane Court of my own? Every Fall/Winter time, I start to feel this way and I have to say, it really sucks. But added onto that is the fact that I see people around me finding someone to be with. From my brother getting engaged to even my once lonely, brother-in-sadness, Jere (I have nothing against you and I'm really, truly happy that you have Lily) finally finding someone that makes him happy. I'm just gonna have to deal with it like I do every year, I guess.
Seasonal depression sucks. :(Current Mood:  numb |

I'm a basket case and so are my friends and I wouldn't have it any other way. We came to this realization last night when we went to this sorority sponsored event that our friend, Mike, was competing in. As we looked around the room at all the stereotypical clichs (the sorority girls, the jocks, the frat guys, etc.) we came to the realization that if this was highschool, we would be the theater kids, the ones on the outside. To put it into Breakfast Club terminology, we are the basket cases and we're alright with that. I've seen myself become more mature over the past couple of months. I still have my juvenile moments and I'll always try to make people laugh with my random silliness but I've also realized that I don't have to be the stereotypical college student who has to go out every weekend and get drunk off my ass. Just sitting in a bar with friends, having some drinks and just joking and having a good time is good enough for me. Getting an apartment this summer will be another big step towards my maturation because I'll have to learn to really prioritize my life so that I won't be spending too much money and what not. I'm up for it, though. I have high hopes for the future and if I'm surrounded by my fellow basket cases (or in the case of Andrea, bosket cases) then I think I'll be OK. |
| » Folsom Kitchen |
|---|
To those who know and to those who can only imagine, here are the lyrics to "Folsom Kitchen Blues" , a take on Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues"
I hear the Mickey a comin'; He's rollin' down the stairs,
And I ain't seen the sunshine because my vision's impaired.
I'm stuck in Folsom Kitchen and I'm passed out on the floor.
But that liquor keeps on flowin' so I guess I'll have some more.
When I was just a freshman, my mama told me, "See here,
Always eat some food; and never mix liquor and beer."
But I took a shot in Boston, just to watch my liver die.
When I wake up hung over, I hang my head and cry.
I bet there's rich folk drinkin' in a fancy kitchenette.
They're prob'ly drinkin' Grey Goose and smokin' fancy cigarettes,
But I know liquor costs money, I know it can't be free,
But those people keep a drinkin', and that's what tortures me.
Well, if they freed me from this kitchen, if that kitchenette was mine,
I bet I'd drink a little farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Kitchen, that's where I want to stay,
And I'd let that beer and liquor wash my Folsom blues away.

OK, so I haven't updated in months but nothing really important has happened other than the Butch show (whicc was in-fucking-credible). I've been working nonstop and reading alot but other than that, I lead a rather hohum life. Since I really got nothing else to really say (because I'm lame like that) I'll go with the random Jere LJ thingy
This time it's: Reply and I'll give you a letter and you have to find five songs that start with that letter and post them to your journal.
Jere gave me "E" for some godforsaken reason, so here we go.
1. El Scorcho - Weezer (this has to be #1)
2. Every Monday - Marvelous 3 (Another no-brainer)
3. Epic - Faith No More (I've always liked this song)
4. Eye Of The Tiger - Survivor (Hee hee)
5. Extraordinary Machine - Fiona Apple (She deserves to be put on the list)
I would've put "Explicit Deleted" by Butch, but I don't think that's really fare since it's 14:58 of nothing.
Well, that's it for now. I move back into the dorms on August 31, so maybe when school gets back inot the swing of things, I'll have more updates (and hopefully they're drunken updates)

|---|
Well, i haven't updated in about a month so i thought i was do for one. Not much is happening. i am working at the NEU bookstore and it rules even though they sent me to the harvard coop this week (48 hours of buyback at harvard sucks. I think I've earned the mantle of Matty Buyback). My days have pretty much been wake up, shower, go to work, go home, watch the red sox, maybe some adult swim, try to read before falling alseep, rinse, repeat. since i really have nothing else to write i'll answer jere's interview questions.
1. What wouldn't you do for a Klondike bar?
Eat a klondike bar, that way if i didn't do it, i'd get the klondike bar anyway. it's a win-win situation (even though i don't really like klondike bars). i should've went with the standard "your mom" answer. oh well
2. I mentioned Violent Movie Marathon II: The Sequel to Violent Movie Marathon I a few nights ago. Any recommendations for that?
Riki-Oh (aka The Story of Riki). it's that movie where the guy uses his own intestines to strangle the main character. I've been trying to find it but i still can't find it. one of these days
3. If you could ride a panther into the sunset, which planet would you like to do it on?
I was gonna say the sun just to fuck with you but then i remembered that the sun's a star so that idea was shot to shit. So i'll go with Endor, then my panther can feast on those mischevious ewoks
4. While rolling in broken glass with a porn star, how many times would you blink?
is that like a "what's the sound of one hand clapping" or "if a tree falls in the woods and there's nobody around to hear . . ." questions? if so, then i think i would blink as many times as i would thrust. it's called the pornstar blink equation. it goes like this: number of blinks divided by diameter of porn star's breasts equals porn star's IQ divided by number of thrusts wherein breast diameter equals IQ. it's quite complicated but trust me, it works every time.
5. In the original Super Mario Bros, Mario would die after 1 hit (2 hits if he was either big or had firepower). His only defense is jumping, fireballs, or temporary invincibility. With this in mind, does he have more balls than Batman?
NOBODY HAS MORE BALLS THAN BATMAN! NOBODY! Even if there was a creature made purely of testicles, he would still have less balls than Batman.
Now here's what they were from:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions of a very intimate and creepily personal nature.
3. You update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

| » who studies? |
|---|
I should be studying for a philosophy final i have tomorrow but i suck as a student so instead i'll post these little tests i saw in jere's LJ.
The Girl Next Door
54% Sexy-Cute, 53% Dark-Light, 36% Artsy-Stylish |
Cute, neither Dark nor Light, and neither Artsy nor Stylish. This
sounds like a blah category, right? Oh, my, no. The Girl Next Door has
been the subject of more dirty fantasies than you could possibly count.
She's so sweet, and innocent, and infinitely corruptible. Every
morning you glance out your window hoping she'll have forgotten to draw
the blinds. You may feel bad about it, but you know you'll be doing it
again tomorrow.
If you liked my test, Please rate it highly! Thanks!
Also, make sure to check out my Beautiful Faces Test if you haven't already.
See All The Categories
| | |
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 49% on Sexy-Cute | | You scored higher than 43% on Dark-Light | | You scored higher than 19% on Artsy-Stylish |
|
Macbeth
70% Intellectual, 47% Impetuous, and 64% Trusting |
Oooooooo...you're a baddun, aren't you? You are vicious enough when
battling enemies, but lord help anyone silly enough to get close to
you! Ambitious, melancholy, perhaps not even entirely sane, you are
ready to undertake any dark and dangerous task for the sake of
realising your ambitions. Courageous, sensitive and brilliant you may
be, but a villain you remain... Don't believe me? Read all about it here.
Part of the reason you are so dangerous is reflected by your high Intellectual
score. You are a thinker, and a planner -- a builder of dark, elaborate
plots and stratagems. You frequently act on impulse or desire, but you
think things through carefully, rationalising your decisions and
arriving at the most amoral conclusions with calculated logic. To
listen to you, it is almost as if you are being forced to act by the
very nature of the universe.
All this intelligence is paired with a low Impetuous
score that is both your greatest strength and your greater weakness.
You are reflective enough that you suffer from pangs of conscience, or
at least you pause to think about the consequences of your action. You
do not fly about like a loose cannon. That is what makes you so
terrifying. You work through all the implications of your actions
before undertaking them and then, knowing full well what you are doing,
you act with ruthless logic.
The final piece of bad news to add to this terrifying cauldron of horrors is that you are also extraordinarily prone to Trusting
other people. You listen to and place great stock in the opinions of
those who are close to you, and to those who know what they are talking
about -- particularly when they seem to be reinforcing what you already
want or think. You have an innate respect for authority, placing high
value on friendship, duty and loyalty, even though you are more than
capable of rationalising away your obligations to these very things
when it suits you.
If things are going to get better, you need to learn to listen
to that small quiet voice that is always whispering in your ear when
you first contemplate doing something. Instinct is not always right,
but if you have reservations about something, look those reservations
in the face and understand where they come from rather than trying to
talk yourself out of them or -- worse -- going to other people to help
you convince yourself to ignore what you know is right. You are, at
heart, an essentially good person, you just have to learn that this is
probably enough in life. If you find yourself spending a lot of time
convincing yourself to do something, it would probably be in your own
best interest not to do it... |  |
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 92% on Intellectual | | You scored higher than 56% on Impetuous | | You scored higher than 68% on Trusting |
|
A Child of Israel
You scored 27% Pride, 25% Envy, 35% Ambition, and 42% Deceitfulness! |
You are one of the Children of Israel. There were many good Children of
Isreal (e.g. Jesus, Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Peter, and so on). However,
for the purposes of this test, you are one of the bad Children of
Israel. You are part of the chosen race of God, but in the Bible it
seemed like you could never stop complaining and messing up. You are
not really a biblical villain in the traditional sense. In fact, you
possess a lot of godly qualities. You are humble, you love your
neighbors, and you are quite trustworthy. However, your relative
slothfulness and recalcitrance made it impossible for you to strive to
reach the high purpose that God had for you. You were content to do
just enough to get by. Therefore, since you're striving was not with
God...it was against God. This is why you are considered a villain. |  |
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 4% on Pride | | You scored higher than 14% on Envy | | You scored higher than 12% on Ambition | | You scored higher than 30% on Deceitfulness |
|
You scored 81 Knowledgable!
| 
Well, you've made it. How did you do? Did you answer every question?
Did you know every single one? If you did...then you're like me. You
know pretty much all there is to know about Batman. If you missed a
few, congratulations, you're very knowledgable, but what you lack is
most-likely Batman's much more subtle qualities, such as the
"teetoteler" question. A teetoteler is someone who practices in not
consuming any alcohol. Bruce Wayne is indeed a teetoteler, because
alcohol, as we all know, can affect one's performance. So, at parties,
Bruce pretends to drink, instead of actually drinking.
Either way, whether you did well or not, I hope I have given some
insight on Batman and what a brilliant character he is. It shows with
Batman that you do not need super powers to be a hero. He is a
man...with a goal...who will not stop...until he's achieved it. And
that's truly inspiring. | | |
My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 65% on Knowledgable |
|
The Hermit
You scored 43 change, 60 wellbeing, 58 wisdom, and 57 truth | 
He has mastered all elements of the past key numbers and stands on top
of the mountain of attainment. The snowy peaks is symbolic of his
isolation because his wisdom sets him apart from the rest. In this
position, he holds his lantern to light the way for the rest to follow
his path to enlightenment, for knowledge is meaningless unless we turn
and show others what we have learned. The lantern light is 2 triangles,
one face up and the other face down. As is above, so below. A triangle
only holds 180 degrees, but the combination of 2 triangles equals 360
degrees. A circle has 360 degrees and is the symbol of the creator,
endless. 360 degrees and 180 degrees both vibrate at a number 9, the
vibration of this cards.
some extra words:
being introspective
thinking things over
focusing inward
concentrating less on the senses
quieting yourself
looking for answers within
needing to understand
searching
seeking greater understanding
looking for something
wanting the truth at all costs
going on a personal quest
needing more
desiring a new direction
receiving/giving guidance
going to/being a mentor
accepting/offering wise counsel
learning from/being a guru
turning to/being a trusted teacher
being helped/helping
seeking solitude
needing to be alone
desiring stillness
withdrawing from the world
experiencing seclusion
giving up distractions
retreating into a private world

That;s it for tonight. I really need to start studying now.

| » Dane Cook is one silly son of a bitch |
|---|
Last night was incredible except for the last part but i'll talk about that later.
I met Jere, Ryan, Amherst Matt, Simon, and Akiko at the Garden and we went to Hurricane O'reilly's for dinner. It was good. I got the o'reilly burger (it was kinda red in the middle. Suprising?) anyway, after that we kinda wandered around for a while until the show started.
The show itself was absolutely incredible except for the killers album that they played on repeat while we were waiting for the show to start. There were three seperate times when people came up to the stage and dane handled all of these instances masterfully and actually got two girls to make out. almost the entire show was new material and the old material he used, he added new shit to it to make it even funnier. It was seriously one of the funniest shows i've seen plus for an encore, he came out with an acoustic and sang a song. Even though i saw it in person, i can't wait to see it on HBO.
Well, since the show ended at 1:30 AM, there was no way for me to ride the T (bastards) so I had to walk back to NU from the garden which kinda sucked but i made it.
Some of my favorite lines from last night:
"A cluster-fuck is not a candy bar. You can't have a milk chocolate cluster-fuck with peanuts and fuck."
to a girl who said it was her b-day, "It's your birthday? You know what that means. Show us your tits."
"I will put a pumpkin bomb underneath your chair and BLOW YOU TO SMITHEREENS!"
"DOOR KICKER!!!"
