10*30*03 Agh Halloween is tomorrow!!! I'm so excited! I got my costume last night. It's awesome. The seamstress guy did a good job. Since he stayed late to get it to me, I figured the least I could do was drive him home (after he asked me to). Then he started asking me if I have a boyfriend on the way there. He's like 50! So I made up some imaginary perfect guy that I've been with for over a year. He didn't try anything funny, and I have my costume. So I'm happy. I met a guy off myspace.com (the friendster alternative) today. We made plans to go to the movies tonight in the beginning of the week. But when I was talking to him last night we realized we go to school a block away from eachother, so we met up and talked for a bit. He's cute. Bad Brains (Soul Brains) are playing next month. I think I really want to go. I'm listening to them right now to get myself all psyched. I saw them twice in high school, and I wouldn't mind seeing them again. But once they start in on that reggae shit I'm outta there. I got my midterm back today which I thought I did miserable on since I barely studied, but I actually did pretty good. I was in shock for a good hour. Now I don't hate school as much. Anyway, I hope to have lots of pictures to post after tomorrow. But in the meantime I figured I'd decipher the lyrics to a Meteors song for all to delight in for Halloween:
Well I got a machine yeah.
Well you know I love you,
You'll stay good for months to come
Sharpen up the blades. 10*26*03 I just got back a little while ago from hanging out with Geoff. We saw the movie Pieces of April on the lower east side. We were supposed to see it last week, but I wanted to stay in and study for my midterms (which never happened). After the movie we had dinner at Zen Palate in Union Square. Then we got to talking about how he just stopped seeing his girlfriend of 3 months. I didn't even know he had had a girlfriend, and I was a little surprised he never really mentioned her to me. He told me how she made him really emotional and all this stuff he did for her and blah blah. I was trying to be a good friend and listened to everything he had to say since he was obviously a little upset about it, but I couldn't stop clenching my fists under the table. He never gave a shit about me when we were together. And he didn't shed one tear when I broke up with him. In fact I was the one who was a hysterical mess. I don't know why it pissed me off so much. It was so long ago. But I had been under the impression up until tonight that he just didn't give a shit about women in general. And now I'm feeling pretty singled out. It just made me wonder what's so wrong with me that he couldn't muster up those kind of emotions when we were together. Anyway, it put me in a sour mood and now I'm sulking. I went to the seamstress yesterday to have my costume fitted. I get the finished product on Tuesday morning. And he wants to talk to me about working there on the weekends. I don't know how I got myself into that, but depending on how much he's willing to pay, I may do it. Since Kirsten lives across the street from the place, I went and visited her for a bit. Then we went to Union Pool later on that night. Kirsten's awesome. She's seriously considering moving in with me when Rachael moves out in June. That'd be nice since I already know we get along, and it'll save me the hassle of looking for a new roommate. Ok, I'm off to continue my pity party. 10*23*03 I can't write too much because I gotta leave in about ten minutes. I saw Death Cab For Cutie last night. They were amazing. I know that makes me an indie dork or whatever, but they're good, so shut up. The show was part of the CMJ music festival though, so four bands were on before them. Doors opened at 7; I got there at 9:30 and the second band was still playing! I didn't get home until 2 AM. Which was especially convenient since I had my awful midterm this morning. I think I totally bombed it. And I know it's my own fault for not being more studious. I need to get motivated or I'm gonna fail. So I sung an Elvis song I've never sang before in the karaoke competition Sunday and pretty much ruined it. I didn't make it to the top five :( Oh well, I guess I'll have to hold off on my dreams of becoming an Elvis impersonator. A guy I've been chatting with on Friendster came to see me sing. We're going to see some movies at the NYC Horror Fest tonight. Halloween's next week! Do you realize I've mentioned Halloween or my costume in every entry this month!? I need a tranquilizer. 10*19*03 I'm such a slacker. It's 5:30 PM and I still haven't cracked open a book for midterms. I have problems. Yesterday I rented some movies at the library, went to Target and bought things I don't need, then I went to a seamstress all the way in Bay Ridge. Awww, haha. My kitten was just trying to be all cute and sprawled out on the keys of my electric piano. But then he slid off and fell on the floor. My cute little idiot. Anyway, I managed to talk the seamstress down $25 from his original quote to make my Halloween costume. He said it should be ready the Tuesday before Halloween. I'm so excited. Kirsten and possibly Carlos are going to that party with me. Geez, I hope there aren't any other Bride of Frankensteins! Gasp. I rented and watched the Bride of Frankenstein so I can get a better idea of how to do my makeup. I didn't realize before that she has stitches running from ear to ear under her chin. I had been a little disappointed the costume wasn't gorey, but this makes up for it a little bit. So, karaoke contest in a matter of hours! I invited a whole bunch of people. I hope they don't torment me about this too much afterwards. That is if they even come. I don't know too many people who want to stay out late on a Sunday night. Can't say I blame them though. I blame you! 10*17*03 I'm a little drunk. I went to a bar on St. Mark's Place tonight with Rachael, Kirsten and a few of Kirsten's friends. I had an ok time. Rachael was telling me she had been talking to a really cool girl outside the bar when she went for a smoke, and wanted me to meet her. So I said sure, why not, and proceeded to follow Rachael over to section of the bar where the girl was sitting. When I saw who she was talking about, I turned right back around and sat down. The girl turned out to be a friend of Bexx's, my ex-roommate. I only met the girl once at Bexx's graduation party, but I seriously look down upon anyone who was friends with Bexx and didn't have to be because they lived with her. Really, how can you be friends with someone who calls themselves Bexx?!? Anyway, it really bothered me that Rachael had taken a liking to the girl. Plus the girl had seen me turn away and told Rachael that was rude of me. I don't see why I should act like I care to associate with her, when I really don't. It may have been rude, but I'd rather be that way than all fake and smiley with the generic "how are you?!" when I really couldn't give a rat's ass. Fuck that. I guess when it all comes down to it, my feelings of hatred for Bexx all came to surface again when I saw this girl, and Rachael semi-befriending her made me feel like she befriended Bexx in a way. Which is totally ridiculous. But this is how my mind works. So since I went out tonight, I can't go out for the rest of the weekend. I need to study. I have two major midterms next week; one of which I'm terrified to take. I have to run some Halloween costume errands tomorrow, but aside from that, I really need to crack open the books. Sunday night is the karaoke contest. For all those who don't know, I've been nominated (along with Rachael) to compete in a karaoke contest at Fitzpatrick's on 86th Street and 2nd Avenue. I practiced my Elvis until I lost my voice when I drove to NJ last week. I still don't know what song(s) I'm going to sing. Either way, I don't plan on winning. I'm a mediocre singer at best. But it should be a good time all the same. Anyway, I'm dizzy and tired, so I guess I'm heading to bed. On a lighter note, I've been invited to a Halloween party I really want to go to, and Kirsten is coming with me. Supposedly 300+ people are going to it, so I have more than enough people to show my costume off to. I'm so excited! 10*13*03 I should be writing a report on how to recover fingerprints from human skin, but I figured I'd write here first. As you can see, I have my priorities in order. My mom cut and dyed my hair last night. She took a little too much off, but it looks ok I think. See for yourself. Over the weekend I bought a beautiful coat I've wanted for at least two months but couldn't afford. Luckily I got some money back on a loan I took out for school, so I carelessly spent it all right away on my coat and random other things (like the Frankenhooker and Bad Taste DVD). Rachael told me Saturday night that I "always wear that coat," meaning the coat I had just bought the day before. While that doesn't make much sense, trust me, if you'd wanted and dreamed about this coat for as long as I have, you'd wear it all the time too. Oh and we never ended up going to that show Saturday night, so we had a movie night with the cats instead. I went to Party City in Brick this morning and said hello to my old managers. They didn't have any Bride of Frankenstein paraphernalia, so I ended up buying an afro wig and giving it a hair cut. It's half way to where I want it to be. Soon, my pet, soon. I also bought some fabric for the dress. I'm hoping to go to the seamstress sometime this week since I can't sew. Well, I could attempt to do it myself, but I know I'd start crying and throwing things. I'd rather just make someone else who knows what they're doing deal with it. I don't even know what I'm doing for Halloween. Well, I don't care if I have walk in the Village parade by myself, as god as my witness, I am going out for Halloween!
10*11*03 Katrina went home a few hours ago and now I'm sad. She's such a sweetheart. When I'm with her I feel like such a cold-hearted bitch. We were in the subway station last night and we saw some kid lying passed out on the staircase. She freaked out and was trying to see if he was ok. I was just like "Eh he's just drunk, let's go." But she wanted to make sure he was still breathing. In some ways I wish I actually cared a little more when it came to things like that; on the other hand I see stuff like that all the time and if I freaked out all the time I don't think I could handle living here. I'm just a tad desensitized to most things. Not to say Katrina made me feel like a bad person the whole time she was here. I did that to myself. But I really had a lot of fun with her. And now I miss her. I'm supposed to go to some Battle Of The Rockabilly Bands with Rachael and possibly Geoff at Union Pool tonight. I was told about it through a kid on Friendster. But I can't find information about it anywhere else. So I hope it's actually going on. I went to Cinema Classics last night for some DJ I've been meaning to check out for a while. He played The Smiths, The Cure, and George Michael in the 10 minutes Katrina and I stayed. I really wanted to dance, but it was so crowded and hot, and Katrina didn't like it, so we left. There was another DJ I wanted to check out at a bar called Bouche, so we did. He's The Vintage DJ. He's invited me to come see him DJ on Friendster a few times. He actually recognized me too and we chatted for a few seconds. He was really nice. Has a bald John Cusack thing going for him...but that may just be because of the suit he was wearing. I dunno. We liked that bar and stayed for a few hours. Today we went out to breakfast in Williamsburg. I noticed a guy sitting down whom I found attractive, and pointed him out to Katrina. Then she told me he was looking at me too. So what do I do when we walk past him? Do my best to not look at him. I always do that when I find someone attractive--make my best effort to ignore them and pretend I'm not interested. And then I wonder why I don't meet more guys. Hmmm. I'm going to NJ tomorrow to get my hair dyed. And then my mom and I are going shoe shopping so I can buy more shoes that make my feet bleed. So painful, yet so beautiful. Anyway, I'm still feeling a little down about Katrina going home. I think it was because I was listening to the T Rex CD I burned from her. Maybe a change of CD will make me feel better. I'm off to go find out. 10*06*03 This joint's a mess. As soon as I'm done writing this, I'm gonna clean up. I saw Lost In Translation last night with Rachael. I loved it. It even made me cry, although I'm not really sure why. I can't remember the last movie I saw in the theater that made me cry. Possibly In the Bedroom? I'll have to think about that. Back to the movie--I just want to say that I love Bill Murray. I wish I knew him. He has the best sense of humor. I want to meet a guy with his personality. Saturday night I went dancing with Kirsten at Club Luxx. They play hip hop on the weekends. Melissa told me to check it out a while ago, so I finally did. I had a lot of fun. Nothing like a bunch of white indie kids gettin' their groove on. The Reverend Horton Heat show last Tuesday was disappointing. Well, they weren't disappointing, the sucky opening band that played for over an hour is what ruined it. First of all, that band drew the trashiest crowd. Second of all, they made trashy girls from the audience get on stage and "do sexy things" with fried chicken. It was fucking disgusting. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a vegetarian, I'm saying that as a human being with eyes and some sense of dignity. Egh. My boss is going to Vancouver for a week, which is nice because he'll be gone. But also not so nice because I'll lose hours, and hence money. Katrina is coming up Friday night. I'm really looking forward to it. I just have to figure out something fun for us to do because she's coming here to escape her routine weekends. I don't want to disappoint her! I'm so behind with school work, and midterms are already coming up. I hope the whole semester goes by this quickly. Gasp, and Halloween is almost here! Well, not really. But I desperately want to be the Bride of Frankenstein. I think I'll pay a visit to my old place of employment, Party City, when I go to NJ this weekend. Hopefully someone I know will be working there and I can get a discount on a wig. Ooooh I can't wait! I love Halloween!
