The temporary Hastings thread

1. West Side Story t-shirt (yes, from high school)
2. the ND t-shirt I brought home from Indiana with the legend "SEX KILLS" on the front and "...so come to Notre Dame and live forever" on the back
3. t-shirt from Lollapalooza... the first one.
4. a hideous pair of pajamas that A. says I "used to wear in college"

I'm actually afraid to go to the next shelf now.

THAT is why that city once had(still does have?) the highest per-capita murders.
45 minutes into that I was ready to kill anyone.
HATE.
On the streets of Minneapolis I slowly build a deep-seated hatred of all things around me until I'd prefer a multi-kiloton device to blast everything(FUCKING STREETS THAT FORCE YOU TO GO PLACES YOU DON'T WANT TO) into a fine mist than to spend other minute there.

St. Paul generally fills me with a soothing peaceful feeling, but Grand Ave. seems to want to be Minneapolis really bad. "Fuck you! You'll never park! HAHAHAHA! Another stop light!!! Want to do something here? TOO BAD! Some guy is stopping you from going to your favorite restaraunt!! AND IT'S HIS JOB!!!"
But it's still better than Minneapolis.
Why? Because YOU CAN LEAVE GRAND AVE.
I can't get out of Minneapolis(save the city center after midnight) in under 30 minutes.
"WANT TO GET TO THE HIGHWAY!?? TOO BAD! THIS ROAD SUDDENLY CURVES!! Now...3 ONE WAY STREETS THAT FORCE YOU TO GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME OR GO FURTHER AWAY FROM YOUR GOAL!!!"

In St. Paul, there are at least 2 ways to get anywhere.
In Minneapolis there's one.
Then you don't get to park.

DOOM.

I feel better now.

That's why I couldn't park.
or drive
or go 5 minutes without talking myself down from aother panic attack.

A goddamned parade.
"Come on, kids! I want to feel like I'm giving you special memories because I've long forgotten how uncomfortable I was at these events. Let's go look at christmas lights that aren't as well done as the guys down the street! The best part!? You don't have(get) to move!"

I'm gonna eat a roast beef sandwich and take some calcium.
Maybe my bloodlust will settle down.

I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL JAPANESE CHRISTMAS.
ONE WEEK OF SHOPPING.
1.5 DAYS OF CELEBRATION.
IT'S OK TO GET DRUNK AT THE PARTY...WITH YOUR FAMILY.
NO (serious) CHRISTIANS TO FUCK THINGS UP.

Joyous YULEtide, everyone.
I wish I had some fucking booze right about now.
(I'd think I was chemically imbalanced with the number of people that have been pissing me off, but none of my friends are annoying me, nor are the people I meet at asian restaraunts, homes, or parties. I think I hate Americans...and the swedish. Never met a swede I liked. Sorry. CUlture clash)

GUESS WHO'S PLAYING A HOUSE PARTY TONIGHT?

I think that trumps my evening plans of taking a lab practical test and then going out to dinner with D34n and R0bb13...

So Dan, we expect you to report back with how it went, okay?

OR

?

Perhaps both.

maps o norway is playing tonight as well...i'll dedicate a pet shot boys cover to u!

I'm waiting with bated breath to hear about Dan's house party gig last night!

I am now on a mad mission to find that photo I told you about in my email. I can't find the album it's in. But I know it's here somewhere!

There's my problem with electronics, right there! Cuz I'm too clueless to figure out fixes.

Dan, I found the picture. It's... uh... contrast-y.

Today's my birfday and I'm in a suprisingly good mood. I think it might just be the coffee though since I'm normally debbie downer about celebratory type things.

I can't wait to see your Christmas cactus!

I FOUND R4CH3L KL3FFM4N ON MYSPACE

That is all.

Tuesday is frustrating. You're right. Why isn't it Friday yet.

Tues. esp sux b/c yesterday was happy birthday funday and now it's back to regular programming. bah.

I've given up on both frustrations and am now playing bookworm.

Sam, does it help your post-birthday let-down to have the holidays coming up, or does that make it worse?

As for the hat, I meant to amaze A. by giving it to him as a Father's Day present, but that was the day I fell and broke my wrist and shattered my elbow, so he didn't get it until I was out of the hospital. I think that kind of ruined the impact of "what a cool present!"

Sara, my birthday generally gets lost in the xmas rush. but then I don't know any different really.

wed. be boring.

I'm sorry your birthday gets lost in the Xmas rush, Sam. I know several people with the same problem. My SIL's birthday is the 26th of this month, and we try to make a big deal of it, but...

My Wednesday will involve last minute studying for tonight's final; afterward my class is going out together. I have some crazy test anxiety going on; I've had some weird dreams the last two nights. (Including one where I was trying to get into the high school scene shop door and M1k3 H0pk1ns was there. He apologized to me for "carrots." No idea what that means. The rest of the dreams were even weirder.)

I used to own an iguana *sniff*. He ran away when we were moving into our house and G. won't let me get another b/c he shit everywhere.

I'm def. a cat person but love our doggies too.

I've also been having very vivid dreams lately too. Is it something cosmic going on?

I'm a cat person; although I like dogs, I find them kind of overwhelming. My husband is both, but he's also allergic to dogs. Plus just keeping up with the two cats and the kids is more than we can handle!

Hmmm, vivid dreams. Maybe it's the MOON.

They are a pain to own. High-maintence diet and special lighting needs. And mine hated me. Always scratching and biting. Liked G better. Little bastard.

His name was Chingy. When I first got him an Ilx0r made a good but frightening photoshop of his namesake with a lizard face. I think it got lost when my computer crashed.
