is an art, like everything else.
I do it exceptionally well."
- Sylvia Plath


one day at a time, it's all downhill from here...sure there are slight perks, like i can order a drink next year, in 5 my car insurance goes down, and in 45 i get sr. citizen's discounts....but let's face it folks. as of this day, i am officially dying, one day at a time, in a sylvia plath sort of way. however, i must say that i had a very fun birthday, starting with a history quiz that i knew practically nothing on and a geology class that i didn't pay attention to (do i ever?). then i went to wesley at about 11:30 (AM) and hung out there until about 12:30 (AM)...basically for a solid 13 hours. there were three small excursions that left me exposed and unsheltered from the outside world...all were forays for food. i picked up my lunch from NY sub, went to Fitzwilly's for a birthday dinner (which LouLou and Adan paid for, so nice) and last but certainly not least, to shake's for ice cream (which jenn paid for...soo nice). jenn, by the way, recommended that i get a cappucino concrete, and since she's the owner of a fine set of taste, i decided it would be a good decision to trust her judgement. HOLY FREAKIN CRAP!!!!!! i nearly peed my pants out of the shock of the deliciousness of the frozen treat resting within my hand.....it was THAT good. go, get one. NOW! well, soon. big props to jenn on that one.

oohh...people should go sign up at www.nationstates.net and play along with the rest of us wesley losers...make sure you join our region too. my country is 'the borderlands of the burial grounds" following the name of my website. which, by the way, has been updated www.theburialgrounds.tk.

and as if that's not enough links for you to handle, here's one more....i wish i could be like this guy. so freakin tight.

my ZAO cd is so yummy...and my dead poetic cd is coming in the mail this week. oh, and being the crazy concert nut that i am, i'm going to see blindside this sunday in huntsville (14 bucks) and stavesacre on the 25th in houston (5 bucks, let me know). holy crap...so freakin awesome.

OOOOOOOOOOH!!! everybody and their grandma needs to come watch me (and other cool people) perform at the third JAVASHOCK competition here at A&M. it's friday the 23rd at the Romei Arts Center (by wolf pen, i can get you directions) at 8 pm, but if you want a chair get there early...or bringing your own fold out would work too. but it's gonna rock, and i'm gonna win *crosses fingers* bc i have some really awesome poetry worked up for it. just ask jenn.

i love being me, even though i'm twenty. oh, and just to let you know...my piercing rocks the hizzouse!

may the grace and peace of the back of my hand not push you out the door too hard...
