:O Myspace tells me that The Gaslight Anthem are touring with... Alkaline Trio AND Rise Against. Wow. The show of a lifetime. I have GOT to go to this. I don't care if I have to go to Bumfuck Idaho for it. I honestly do not care. Will fly to the US for this one. Need dates and locations. Who wants to come with? :P Edit: Here's a great Gaslight Anthem song. Even if you don't generally like punk you'll probably like these guys... The Gaslight Anthem "The '59 Sound" Current Mood:  ecstatic |

Name a food in your house you never run out of.
Mustard, because no one ever uses it. Canned foods.
Do you have a household brand you are very loyal to? For what?
We always buy Aim toothpaste, because it's cheap. Greeeeat. Sacrifice quality, maybe.
What is something you sleep with every night?
A pillow.
Name something you take with you wherever you go?
My purse and water.
What are you embarrassed to admit you like?
That Miley Cyrus song. I hate myself for it, but it's catchy.
Do you have any collections?
Hoodies, Coke bottles that are interesting, and I used to collect glass dogs and little figurines of tall buildings or just landmark buildings.
What do you avoid at all costs?
Mosquitoes, clingy children, double shifts on Saturdays. None of these are successful avoidances.
What is your favorite word?
I'm too tired to think of these right now.
What is your least favorite word?
Blouse, scrumptious, delicious, supper.
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Uhhh... not being a professional student would be great, thanks.
What profession would you not like to do?
A desk job or a factory job.
Tell us about the 10 year old YOU.
I wore a lot of greens, oranges, and yellows. Together. Ew. I was kind of annoying.
Off to bed. Work in the morning! |

Mad Bad Day! I was such a bitch on and off today. I kept getting pissed that the girl on the express till at work kept leaving when she's not supposed to. I was getting frustrated that my manager continues to complain about what a bad job we're doing with our night chores before closing time and they haven't exactly made a real effort in showing us the way they want it done.
GAH!! I was just so mad because of all these little things happening consistently throughout my day. THE REASON? My period came today. FUCK! Gotta work again tomorrow but I get Monday off at least. I'm just so pissed that no one can hire anyone responsible enough to work longer than a couple weeks. That'd be great. It would take some of my workload away. I mean jeez, another girl calls in hysterically saying her boyfriend was in a car accident and then Kali (another girl I work with) tells me she saw her the other day and she was heading to her other job....seriously? She's my friend and all but she's making it hard for me to keep it that way at the moment. That means I'll be closing more often. Then Katie says she'll need to take 3 or 4 days off each week so she can work another job for some drama school she wants to save up for.... ...I'll just go kill myself now. *sigh* Current Mood:  bitchy |

I'm determined to learn from my mistakes. With that in mind, I met her parents today. They seem really nice; not scary at all; and they think I'm 'cool' so I guess it went well. |

DVD: Fateless (2005) 
Fateless (Sorstalansag) is a gripping, poignant Holocaust drama by Hungarian director Lajos Koltai. The film is based on the semi-autobiographical novel of the same title by Nobel prize winner Imre Kertesz. Fateless takes the viewer back to Hungary in 1944 and the last sad chapter on the long road of the Holocaust, when the the Nazi empire was on it's way to defeat. The country of Hungary was the last one to fully experience the horrors of Hitler's Final Solution. It was occupied by the Nazis in March 1944 and Adolf Eichmann (head of the Jewish Department of the Gestapo) moved in and begin deporting the Hungarian Jews to the death camps. The Nazis always tried to cloak what was truly going on in the labor and death camps. They were presented as places where people go to "work". The Final Solution had been going on for several years and there were stories and rumors within the Jewish community about what really was taking place within these camps. There were rumors of gas chambers, crematoriums, starvation, etc., but many in the Jewish community did not want to believe that such things were really happening. Current Mood:  moody |

Oh oh oh oh!
And I met a guy last night at the gig who's a music promoter.
I recognised he was wearing the same shirt as the previous night at The Living Room. I didn't talk to him that night, and I didn't recognise HIM, but the shirt was distinctive so I asked if he'd been there the previous night. He said he actually puts on all the Living Room shows.
Then he asked, "Are you... hmm... Simon?"
I was pretty shocked, turns out I added his promotional company's myspace. He'd added me back and put two and two together. He must have checked out my page I guess.
ANYWAY, I digress. I mentioned that I hoped J and he would come with me to Alkaline Trio, if they ever actually come back to Brisbane.
He said, "Oh, Alkaline Trio is coming in November, playing at the Tivoli."
I said, how do you know that? They haven't released any tour dates past September and those are all either Europe or the US.
And he said, of course, that as a music promoter he finds these things out behind the scenes.
So yeah. Three months later than I was hoping, but seems I will get to see Alkaline Trio after all!!

queen bees: episode 3: judgement.
soooo, i feel so bad for camille. everyone's always picking on her!!!! like when shavon drew that picture of her and made her look like insane white trash. poor camille!!! i really like her!!!
the dark party was funny...all of the guys were basically attractive (except for gisbelle's)...i thought the hottest was victor..russian!!! yum!!! i felt bad for michelle though, because her date was so insanely annoying, but he was pretty good looking and she was being a mega-bitch. it makes me mad that she's on notice though...i think shavon should've gone home...ha did you see michelle's face when they said shavon was staying?!?!?!?!? she was pisssssed!!!! but really, shavon is like a sociopath or something...i think her breakdown was fake.
anyway, i thought it was funny how the guy brittany ended up with on the dinner date was a "model/actor" or whatever like her...HAHAHA. she could namedrop with someone.....
i think my favorite actually might be stassi...she can laugh at herself about the self-tanner and all that stuff and i really like that.
i also really like gisbelle. she seems smart and like she really got it that she treats people like shit.
ah, i love that show so much!!!! |

i'm aria! from prettly little liars! great books!  Say cheese! You are just like… Aria! In the yearbook you’d be voted the most likely to have been called a freak in junior high. But, as you’ve gotten older, you’ve really grown into yourself and, just like Aria, have the confidence to pull off your hot, unique look. Even when things are falling apart in your life, you remain strong and independent. Though, you do have one big weakness: you just can’t resist those hot intellectuals… |

i'm elizabeth! good, because she's my favorite character from the luxe books...and will makes my heart swoon!!! (whoever made this quiz chose blake lively for the pic of liz, but that's not what i picture her looking like, so i didn't include that picture) Elizabeth Holland You are every mothers dream to have a daughter like Elizabeth. You are a proper young lady; the one which all of the boys want to dance with at balls. You are very beautiful. You put on a smile when your out and about and when your at balls that's not where you really wants to be. In your heart you want to be with the man you love. You are forced to choose between your happiness and your family's well being.  take it for yourself!!!  |

Don't want to live like a[n internally displaced person] Church always finds a way to be topical. This evening they launched a series of sermons on missions trips, which they are pretty big on. But what struck me was about Blessings. "Blessings" is a sort of term of art they like to use to describe a good act, as in "bestow a Blessing on so-and-so." The idea being that all Blessings come from God, but that we can take the initiative to bestow them on people (sort of a Pay It Forward scheme) by doing good stuff. Blessings are distinct from gifts, favors, etc., in that they are done out of Love and with no expectation of reward or reciprication. So tonight, one of the pastors was talking about having been on a missions trip a while back, and having been invited to dinner by an incredibly poor family. He spent the evening eating their food, singing and playing with their children, and learning snippets of the language. And he said that his pride was bothered by the fact that he was unable to pay them back in any way, especially because he was leaving the village the next day, but that he eventually realized that they had been Blessing him, and the only thing he could do was humbly accept it. Likewise, as I have been struggling with feelings of debt this week, I now realize that my friends have Blessed me, simply because they could. This list has grown now, to include not only Marie, Ben, Mary, and Isaac for their bailing on Wednesday night, but also Mary and Isaac for putting us up that night, Rachel and Ira for having us Thursday night, and Adam and Anne Louise for having us last night. On the clean-up front, the apartment is now disinfected and it will be safe to stay here overnight, although it is still dirty, which is really annoying. Back on the phone tomorrow morning, I guess. Ugh. Or, more likely, to the hardware store to buy a mop and do it ourselves. (EDIT: Definitely doing it ourselves. Then our normal cleaner is coming Tuesday anyway.) Earlier this afternoon, while hiding from the men with the cleaning chemicals, I met Marie on the Mall to see the Muppet exhibit, which was fantastic, although filled with small children. We then wandered the Sackler, Freer, Castle, and various gardens, looking at art and talking (or rather looking at art and not talking, then talking), and I had a really lovely time. I don't think I'd been to any of those spaces in years and years, and I was very impressed by the size and quality of the collection. (Especially the ancient Chinese ritual bronzes, which put the West to shame in the "ancient" department.) I must make an effort to visit museums more. But the mile (ish) trip to the Mall is so daunting! |

My real life flashes past me every second, and I have no choice but to admit it and act accordingly. The life I was raised for, trained for, devoted every moment of my childhood and adolescence to is here. And I am in the middle of it. I guess I'll just open up to people.
I have registered for a term at Buffalo College (SUNY - The State University of New York) for this fall. I can lift twice my weight, and I have broken transverse processes in my 6 and 7th spinal vertebrae March this year. There was extensive damage to nerves but no surgery required. I was recuperating, and a few weeks ago my triceps (right arm) started functioning normally. I had serious arm lockout problems before, also numbness in three fingers of my right hand (constant pins and needles like what you get from sleeping on it, only constant) but now it's gone. I helped organize a boat show in St. Petersburg. Nearly got into a bar fight in последняя капля in Moscow.
It's a great start, there are great people around me, no reason to throw it away just because I didn't know how to treat a young woman, right?

Не вмієш співати - роздягайся! Мабуть за таким принципом пішла Настя Камєнскіх. То вона роздягнулася для журналу ЕГО, тепер настала черга Плейбою. Вчергове спостерігаю як жага за відомістю, грошима, славою робить людей божевільними. На що вони тільки погоджуються, задля власного рейтингу. Цікаво, а у далекому майбутньому чи не соромно буде перед власними дітьми за таку поведінку (якщо вони ще здатні народити дитину)? Мені б було соромно.  |

my summer daze. heyyyy people....i'm coming to you from the apple store at legacy village, LOL! so what's going on? yesterday was pretty cool. in the morning i ran errands with riley while, of course, listening to rover's morning glory. they were in rochester and phillip was on, uuuugh i hate it when they have phillip from rochester on because they always make fun of him and it makes me sad. :( :( :( anyway, i went to knuth to get a bday gift for claudia and of course that was fun because i love shopping and knuth always has the cutest stuff. when i got home from running my errands, grandma and grandpa were at the house because grandpa came up to put up some railings on the stairwells at marshall's. i spent a little bit of time with them but mostly focused on getting ready for claudia's. i ended up wearing this really cute white lace dress with a gold anchor necklace and pearls and pearl and gold earrings. the dress was a bit short so i put on some black leggings and black flats and carried my gold betseyville bag....adorable. everyone at the party looked adorable, really, it was such a great party...lunch at moxie, where the food is divine! a fabulous sweet sixteen! after the party i went home and relaxed with grandma for a bit while we waited for grandpa to finish his work....when he got back they left and then my mom ran some errands while riley and i watched dr. phil. when my mom got home we decided to go to legacy village, the best place to see and be seen on a friday night on the east side. we ate at the bronte bistro at joseph-beth, which i swear has some of the most delicious food in town! i'm a huge fan of turkey and i had this delicious turkey breast with cranberry sauce and green rice....a dream meal for megan j. after dinner we got gelato, a perfectly sweet ending to a perfectly sweet day! of course, the day didn't end there. we had to go to target to pick up some things, and we ended up getting a bunch of stuff for my dorm room...exciting!!!! then we came home and i watched the new episode of queen bees (more on that later). finally i went up to bed and was just getting settled into reading the luxe when katie burst in my room and claimed she heard something downstairs and was scared and begged me to sleep in her room...i obliged and set up a makeshift bed on her floor...i got a bit of reading in but i quickly dozed off...however, i woke up at 3 am, with an aching back from attempting to sleep on the hard wood floor, with only one thought on my mind: i really, really wanted to finish reading the luxe. it was such an intriguing book! so i went down to the guest room and finished the book around 4:30 and finally went back to sleep. the book was soooo delicious that today when we were at the mall i hurried down to barnes and noble and got the second book, rumors, and i've been trying to read it all day as we run our errands. obviously, we're at legacy again right now. we're running errands again, of course. we have already been to the richmond mall and ate lunch at claddagh and now we're at the apple store because marshall's ipod isn't working. yup, i have to go now....laaaterrrrr. Current Mood:  sillyCurrent Music: whatever they have on here...idk. |

Шел я по Дерибасовской
...И вижу пара молодых людей пытается познакомиться со всеми проходящими мимо девушками. Вроде ничего особенного, но что-то показалось необычным, и я остановился поглядеть. И таки да - приклеенные улыбки, схематические действия, напыщенный позитив - в общем, явно практиковались выпускники какого-то пикап-тренинга.
У меня такие люди всегда вызывали какое-то недоумение. Типа как сороконожки, которые думают, какой ногой ходить сейчас, а какой через секунду. И то, что нормальный мужчина делает естественно, не особо задумываясь, превращается у них в алгоритм. Это похоже на эмоциональную инвалидность, замену настоящего суррогатом.
Похоже, что и цель этих техник - вовсе не знакомство и не секс, ведь получить это можно гораздо проще. Цель - получить удовольствие от манипуляции другим человеком, а секс - типа зарубка на прикладе. :) |

Я у столиці. Про імперіалізм
Сьогодні вранці я повернувся з Таврії, тобто Херсонщини, а саме із свого рідного міста. Люблю я це місто. Воно не тільке для мене рідне, але ще це дивовижний куточок де можна відпочити (але про відпочинок трохи пізніше, а також поділюс своїми враженнями від рідного міста).
Одразу по приїзду купив новий номер "Українського Тижня". Почав читати досить цікаве інтерв"ю з Евою Томпсон, фахівця з літератури про імперіазім, колоніалізм та решту навколишніх речей.
Звернув увагу на дуже тлумачний та правильний висновок:
"... Імперські нації зазвичай не визнають законність захисного націоналізму й представляють його як злочин або беззаконня. Отже, росіяни не розуміють, що цілком нормально впроваджувати в Україні закони, наприклад, на користь української мови, літератури, культури тощо. Вони вважають це дискримінацією". Як на мене дуже тоно поставила діагноз американська дослідниця. |

you weren't wrong You wanted kids.
Your wife wanted her career and two dogs.
You told me you loved me.
Lights off, my back against your desk.
I knew where you played baseball.
Watched you get dirty like a boy.
No wonder I flunked Algebra.
I couldn’t stop thinking about my mouth on you—ten feet down the hall.
You pulled me outside, 11:30, drunk off my ass at some function.
Pushed me away five seconds before the kiss, drove me home.
I didn’t see you for two weeks.
Not until Homecoming, your arm around her on the back of a booth.
She called my house; I recognized her voice—told me to leave you the hell alone.
After she hung up, I wondered what you’d done to provoke it.
You fingered the bruise on the inside of my wrist, my cheek.
Told me everything was going to be okay.
Usual meaning behind real words abandoned.
You said everything in code.
You felt like you failed us (your students), heard your father’s voice in your head.
I wanted to make it stop as much as you wanted to silence mine.
I pulled.
You pushed.
Then it all swung the other way.
a locked door
hands on skin
burns on my knees
mouths soft
kisses wrong
sticky thighs
ruined jeans
I broke my promise for you.
And still, fifteen years later, I don’t regret it. Current Mood:  nostalgic |
