SO U MOVING TO HSTNGS! PACK A AMPULE OF ANTIVENOM AND A FACK FULL OF EMINEM

see there is a perfect song for everything

lol

I had forgotten how life-changing Serious Beats, Vol. 3 was for me

Oh I should NOT have gone to bed early last night, LOLLLLL!!!

jesus, i've never been back to a class reunion and i don't think i could handle it. the thought of making small talk with ppl i haven't seen in 15 years...i just.

someone actually yelled "fag" out their car window at me tonight, it was the first time in years. tbh i was riding a girls schwinn with blinking lights. and wearing my g00dwi11 uniform. but still!

and oh yeah: a few days after we moved in i was unloading a card table and chairs from my trunk. as i'm going around to open the trunk an old dude (looking v much like a sloppier dr. jakoby fyi) said hi as he was passing, only he didn't pass, and stopped dead and just stared a while. it took me forever to get the table/chairs out cuz i had a painting in one arm (idk why i didn't put it down), and i'm mucking with them for forever and he goes "well, have a good afternoon!", and i'm like "yeah you too!", but he just keeps standing there, staring at me. didn't go away until after i finally unloaded and closed the trunk and locked the car doors. kinda innocuous i guess but somehow really unsettling at the moment.

You are truly experiencing HSTNGS to the fullest

^^^ this

the encounter with the old dr. jakoby had a very http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/136/s_45709fa94f19416e89a3391cde4ce6c4.jpg kind of drawn out awkwardness. y'all weren't kidding.

We would never kid about HSTNGS. It's more like one of those things where you have to laugh about it...

people scoff at me when I tell them I grew up in a real-life Twin Peaks until I start telling stories

We didn't have a Log Lady (that I know of anyway), but that might have been all we were missing.

you've forgotten Lu Stoff3l already?

OMG LOLOL

Serious <3 <3 <3 to you for that, thank you

so, is there a curse here you guys aren't telling me about? we've had a small string of bad luck* punctuated by sort of a call-is-coming-from-inside-your-house moment last night. a few days after moving in KG's car has a $600 break down. no sooner than it's fixed, my car breaks down, so i've been biking to work all this week. (and, if we don't get it fixed/figure out reliable transportation, commuting to school=no go). my car's capacity to accelerate cuts in and out at its whim, which last night meant a pretty harrowing drive to the autofixit place**. then, we're walking home down sibley and KG receives a text, from herself, of an icon of a bicycle. yeah good joke, universe!!! this town is indeed strange and mysterious. also kind of a dick.

*(in addition to the car stuff, there has all the while been the difficulty of tracking down where my paycheck's been bumbled off to while my bank account's been sitting in the negative, but that's another story...)

**(this was dangerous and stupid and i regret it but we didn't have money for a tow)

this town is indeed strange and mysterious. also kind of a dick.

YES

I'd sell you my car but I'm in MA so

It's a 2001 Rav 4, 92K miles, manual transmission, very good condition except for scratched bumpers

i'd buy it but it's a manual transmission (and in MA). plus looking for something small...but anywho

but yeah Sara OTM, also I feel like the HSTNGS cru has done nothing but warn ppl about the vortex of weird that surrounds the town whenever it comes up

tracking down where my paycheck's been bumbled off to while my bank account's been sitting in the negative, but that's another story...)

i love this thread but have nothing to contribute, generally, not being a resident/reformed HSTNGSr, but just wanted to say that i had this recently & it sucks and is as infuriating as bureaucratic errors get, so feeling for you here

yeah what's frustrating is that i didn't quit, just transferred locations, so it should have just been sent to my current location. but instead showed up at the old location, ten was sent to my prior address, an action that was sat on for a time...ultimately i should have just filled out the direct deposit paperwork a long long time ago and avoided all of this so

ugh, arby's, I'm so sorry that is happening to you! :(

and yeah, HSTNGS is just that kind of a place... still thankful for the many friends I made there - and that many of them remember the craziness as well as I do.

btw

Do you have any recourse for getting back bank fees incurred due to this paycheck screwup?

Also have you checked the paper for used cars? You might get lucky.

it was only a $30 charge for one overdraft and i guess i'm just saying fuckit cuz i got other things to worry about (i'm now back in the positive btw after getting my deposit back in full from the last place).

been rummaging through craigslist for cars but ultimately waiting to see what the auto place says about the state of my current car before i go whole hog in search for a new one. will prob nab a paper from the gas station next to work today though, good idea.

xp to gbx waht is that!!

HSTNGS my friend

yay its my favorite picture in the world

That pic is always hilarious.

I'm just in "buy a car!" mode because put money down on a car that I thought we would have this past weekend but may not even be built until next week, so I am just trying to live vicariously through others until it gets here.

(kind of glad I didn't just sell our old car off tho, we'd have been SOL this month)

lmao. in kato i lived in an apt above a place that sold knockoff designer clothes as a drug front for a while. one morning i looked to see someone had spraypainted <--CRACK in six-ft letters on the adjascent building. lolled all day.

given my non commute my car is going to last FOREVER

i drive literally 30-40 miles a week and the car has idk 70K on it? i started doing the math and now that i carried the two the answer appears to in fact be forever.

xp hahaha thats pretty awesome

why have i not made a tshirt of that photo yet

Yeah you can see from the stats on my old car (which we bought new) that I averaged about 9k miles/year on it, and that includes multiple road trips to NYC, DC, Philly, Pittsburgh, Akron and Cincy. We could probably drive it for another 10 years easily but lol I'm almost 40.

picture is somehow extra brutal on account of failed attempt to spray in red paint

ATTN JJJUSTEN

I have just found your new favorite band

http://wavepoolabortion.bandcamp.com/album/wavepool-abortion

yr welcome

Got a great tourmate for 'em as well:

http://herpes.bandcamp.com/

wavepool abortion really is the best band name

im scared to listen to them because i fear they will ruin their magical name

It's even better...they're from Moscow.

based on my initial listen through I would describe them as a stupid version of JAMC

"VE ARRR VAVEPOOL ABORTION!"

wait, are they Russian or are they German pirates

nitpicky imo

yeah on first listen they sound kinda cool tbh. too much color, maybe, but i unfairly want all russian punk to sound exactly like grazhdanskaya oborona so..

why have i not made a tshirt of that photo yet

I don't even know what happened to my Hunter, Age 3 t-shirt

blargh, $400+ to fix my 1988 corsica lol. k gotta go to work where i will make 23 dollars c u

definitely time to get a new car, srsly...

today, everyone with a Spotify account should listen to this:

http://open.spotify.com/album/6yuGZO9460TzKMMZ7qQZez

(be warned tho; despite being listed as the full album, at least one of the songs is a single edit as opposed to the album version)

The fact that the first song is from Pop Will Eat Itself is making me smile nostalgically...

Haha, is this all PWEI? I am so out of it lately...
