06/09/2002 entry: "I need a few days"

So it's been a few days since I last posted. Updates? Well I moved back home Wednesday afternoon. Did stuff. Thursday I got up at 9am (was supposed to be 8am) to go out to breakfast with my family before they went to Wisconsin. Then Thursday night.. I don't remember. I may have set up my music stuff downstairs. My acoustic guitar, stereo, microphone, etc. Practiced a bit. Oh, went out for a little while and got myself 2 new items of clothing and hair dye. Not that you care about that, but.. yeah.

Friday I spent recording some of my songs, playing video games, and hanging out with my pretty much best friend in the whole world, Sara. We don't see a lot of eachother because of school, but it's summer now and hopefully we'll get to hang out tons. So she came over and stayed the night. We jammed and used the karaoke feature on my stereo. I tried to play drums to this song she wanted to karaoke to and record, by Drain STH. Strangely, Sara said I sounded better than the girl in the band... whatever :D I'm not good at drums at all. I can keep a beat, and I have fair coordination, but I don't really know anything about it. I just fool around. It's my sister's kit. She has drum tabs for Weezer's "Buddy Holly". That's neat.

Then, we watched this HORRIBLE movie called Lady of the Lake Friday night (very late). It wasn't one of those GOOD bad horror movies, it was legitimately bad. We seem to have that kind of luck. This movie was a horror movie/romance trying to be a soft porn. Very strange and very bad. Horrid effects. Ridiculous story... I'm still not entirely sure what went on, to be honest.

Then, I woke up at about 9am this morning and started doing things, and Kevin came over about noon, and Sara left when he came. Then we went and saw this guy, (I forget his name) talk at a Borders allll the way up in Norridge (which is more than 47 minutes away Yahoo!, you fucking whore). The guy talked about haunted places in Chicago, some of which I'd never heard about before. It was neat. There's this building downtown that kind of looks like an armchair (it's an opera house or something) and apparently it was made to purposely look like an armchair. And it's like... facing away from these certain businesses and city hall or something, because the guy who had it built didn't like how crooked the businessmen and politicians were in Chicago at the time, and he respected the working man and stuff, so he made it face.. West maybe? I forget. Anyhow. It's a neat story.

Kevin and I hung out the rest of the night, playing card games and shit like that. Tomorrow I'm going to Sara's youngest sister's 8th grade graduation. Full weekend huh? Yup. Then Monday, I have to call this library here that I applied to and see if they made a decision yet. If they did and it's not me, I'm going over to Staffmark. Yes, a temp agency. I don't care, I like meaningless office jobs to a point. I just need a job really badly. I want to save money up for an acoustic electric this summer.

I think that's about it. I'm exhausted from taking allergy medicine earlier, my throat is dry from only drinking coffee at the restaurant I was just at, and... like I said I'm exhausted and I have more stuff to do tomorrow. But first, I have to clean off my bed so I can sleep on it. Goddamn.

Goodnight everyone, hope you're all having fun.
