TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

I'm just going to be happy if I make it through this goofy presentation tomorrow night at this point. tehresa - hang in there!!!

You know what is annoying is that non-student people are probably out there, enjoying the weather (which is finally decent here) and relaxing.

ARGH

I am listening to loud evil music. This is a good thing.

the fact that all the artists on Paganfest are on emusic = multiple less than threes

wait so should i go to paganfest?

multiple less than threes

Is this some kind of secret code they taught you at the recitation of the rosary on Sunday, John?

if you are down for nordic folk metal featuring hurdygurdy, then yes xpost

so yes

sara i will leave it for you as a thought experiment

sounds kinda cool, tho not my norm. i war invited today and had never heard of it before.

John, believe me, imagining you as a Catholic is a thought experiment I tried a long time ago.

admittedly only one of the four bands feature a hurdygurdy (Eluveitie), but Turisas has accordian and violin, Ensiferium is sort of some odd serious version of Dethklok (complete with KEYBOARD STAND MADE OUT OF SCARRED BATTLESHIELD AND BROADSWORDS), and Tyr, well, Tyr were not as fun as the others but had some great moments

xpost i am genetically catholic, that shit runs deep yo

sounds awesome.

fo real. deep.

xpost

lol at "genetically Catholic," but at the same time, YES.

Wait, was it the grandmother you lived with who was Catholic?

oh and yes Grandma McGibbon was decidedly irish catholic through and through, complete with the jesus inviting you in/last supper/brothers kennedy painting triad of wall art

lol, your grandma sounds like she was ADORABLE

lol awesomest trifecta ever

oh and to clarify only i would probably be chastised for using folk metal to describe them all, the battle/viking genres are more apt for some. The main meh reaction i had was to Tyr who sounded a little like black album metallica to me, which is of course probably just because the lead singer, like James Hetfield, does not speak English very well

xxpost oh she was, but especially since she slept even less than me and was stone deaf, which was sort of a dream live-in caretaker deal

actually, kind of a dream housemate in general sort of deal

John likes to live with deaf insomniacs, apparently.

also had a 17 year old dog that was deaf and blind and thus would try to do crafty things like cleverly escaping outside and then cagily hiding in plain view

Wow I want to go back in time and meet your grandmother AND her dog!

see i would like to live w/ a deaf person who slept ALL the time.

I don't know; if John's grandmother was anything like his mom, you'd probably appreciate her being awake. (I was always envious of both John and Dan's mothers, who are both v. cool, although very different from each other).

old people make me feel awkward. even when they are awesome, i am really weird around them.

see i deal with so many badass rough and tumble old gruff guitar dudes at the shop that i have realized that most of them are cooler than my similarly aged and younger band friends

Hmmmm. I think my problem is that, if there is silence, I feel like I have to fill it somehow - and sometimes older people don't say much (at least no one at the nursing home we did clinicals at last semester for my CNA class talked much). So I feel like, OMG I am rattling on even worse than usual and that makes me feel self-conscious and that makes me rattle on MORE...

But I am kind of imagining John's grandma as being hilarious and witty, like her daughter. Of course I have no idea, though!

i love old dudes like jack lemmon but i feel like if i had to hang out w/ him i would get all weird.

like the time that this 90 year old polka dude stopped talking to me in midsentence, walked over to some kid that was playing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and asked him "What the fuck are you doing? What is wrong with you?"

old dudes living out my dreams

i'm like walter mitty, but with crusty old dudes

see, i think that is total badass awesome but if i was in a room w/ that dude for 15 min i wouldn't know what to do.

I was always relieved when John's MOM answered the phone at his house, especially when, say, I had called collect pretending to be his most embarrassing ex-girlfriend or just a totally made up person.

John's mom = very funny and easy to talk to.

Dan's mom = very nice and I always thought very elegant as well.

god you guys can type WAY too fast

oh by the way, i misidentified one of the you tubes up there. that is clearly modded Dance Dance Revolution 2, not Guitar Hero 2. my bad

i'll never get into valhalla if i keep this up

Just have to hang around in the 9th circle of Hell with the rest of us.

ok i am going to go pack some more books, and then go to sleep

i do appreciate that you are reaching for the hell stars, sara, it is a sign of good breeding and aspiration

oh by the way i am never allowed to buy anything ever again, this is what i have learned from putting all of my anything into boxes

except booze and food that comes in microwavable containers

night

Yes, well, I'll see you in Hell then, sir!

(but I mean that in a good way...)

Okay, I should give up and sleep, too.

'Night all.

me too. bonne nuit!

Woah. Shit went down in this bitch while I slept. And I missed the magical moment of 12000 too :(

bump

i wish you were all awake when i get home from work at night, because this is the time i feel chattiest and jordan is asleep. i wake him up to say hi, and i rattle on a bit about my night, but he's usually so out of it all he can manage is some mewling sounds and a few 'yeah?'s.

altho he did start singing to me the other night when i woke him up, which was awesome
