07/16/2002 entry: "This ain't no fooling around"

For some strange reason, my hands look very hard and unreal in this light. Like they were carved.

I think tomorrow will be the first day I have nothing planned. Let's look over the last few days, shall we?

Starting with July 4th. Yes, July 4th. I can go back that far, only thanks to my journal. I have a HORRIBLE memory.

Thursday: Fourth of July. Went to Sara's house for a while, then my family came back here to do some gay fireworks. At least we roasted marshmallows and hot dogs.

Friday: Went to Kevin's house for a while. Went downtown with Kevin to see Steven play, ate curry mayonnaise on chicken tenders, got called "Stereo girl".

Saturday: Drove out to Hinsdale to apply for a job at the Hinsdale library. Also tried to apply for a job at a cleaners around here. I think I went with my family to the grocery store so that they wouldn't only buy junk food, and I'd have something decent to eat around here. I drove. Bah.

Sunday: Kevin and I went downtown to the Art Institute and to meet a friend of his he met online. We did lots of walking. It was hot. We saw the gay neighborhood. I was dehydrating and we went home.

Monday: Went running around applying for jobs all day.

Tuesday: Went to bank, bought acoustic electric guitar, played it lots.

Wednesday: Not much during the day, went out at 9pm for the scariest drive of my life down Archer to Willow Springs to see Kevin's friend Bob play at a coffeehouse's open mike night.

Thursday: White Stripes concert, my first time driving downtown. We got dinner afterwards.

Friday: This took me about 20 minutes to remember, but I went out with Kevin, his friend and his friend's new girlfriend. We got dinner, then dessert at a different place because the restaurant kinda sucked.

Saturday: Party for Sara's relatives/parents friends. Sara and I ditched and hung out at my house.

Yesterday: Kevin came over here. Went to Borders, bought books. Dinner at my house. Rented movies, watched The Royal Tenenbaums on DVD.

Today: Went to Kevin's; TV, food, rented movie from last night, coffee, bowling, video games. We did lots and it was fun.

I HAVE HAD MAJOR THINGS TO DO EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST WEEK AND A HALF! AHHHHH!

But, that's good. At least I've done things. The problem with this is, I've been out late most of those days. That's not good. Screws up my sleep schedule even more.

But.. that's just crazy. I feel like I should be insane or something.

Oh, and only a couple days before all this began, I got a new car. That's major. AND I drove out to Oak Park the Friday before all that to see Steven with Peggy. Rahr.

But I am glad. I've also been meeting/talking to a couple interesting people lately. Although I think I scared off a couple of them. Hmm.

I REALLY need to find that Talking Heads CD I have. It's not even opened. I'm such a dork.

If you need a reason to love the Talking Heads besides every other song you should already know (Once in a Lifetime, And She Was, Burning Down the House), download or listen to "Life During Wartime". It's so wonderful, and I never heard it until I saw them play it live when I watched the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Eeek.

I saw a quote in one of my friend's AIM profiles, and I love it to death for two reasons. Guess the two and you.. are smart. I'm not giving out any prizes, I don't have a job. :P
