yesterday

took the psats....secretly, i like standardized tests.  they're fun, yeah? use your brain, color some bubbles...

went to michelle's - we adventured out through the fields behind her neighborhood to "the village," a completely broken down, decrepit cluster of houses and barns.  we were exploring inside a house when she told me she heard people, which i laughed at and kept making noise...until we both heard it.  before we knew it, a buck leapt from the bushes near the house we were in and jolted up the gravel road.  soon afterward we heard a "WHUP!"-like yell and saw a hunter holding a fucking crossbow.  we froze on the spot, afraid to move for fear that he would shoot us, thinking we were deer, if he heard us moving around.  my legs were shaking. after he passed we decided to get out of the house and talk really loudly to make it clear that we were human.  we didn't see him again.

worked 4-9, it was moderately busy, tapering off in the evening. it was fairly cold out.

skipped out on homecoming, whatever

went to the illinois show in town but everyone was drunk, tired, cranky, or just bored. the moose was empty, empty, empty, and split with a drinking room...our town needs a new venue.  even the old siren was terrible, i still have bad memories of being crushed against cd racks by sweaty bodies.  anyhow, poor crooked looks from brooklyn played to a crowd of no one, and only a few more people were watching aderbat.  both bands were alright.  when illinois finally came on it was a fun time...i think that now that they're big-time and have toured nationwide they like playing at home.  the show ended really late so i crashed when i got home.

good day, overall.

today we lost our soccer game 1-0 which hurts our standings. nobody's head was in the game.  now i'm doing homework, analyzing toni morrison's nobel prize for literature acceptance speech. it's a fantastic speech but it's sapping all of my energy.  i'm also going to write a one page essay on the up sides to the guilty pleasure of consuming massive amounts of candy.
