.hidden in the glitter is the real thing.

i have to say, i've never actually been in athens during break. and as expected, it's dead here. i mean there's no one here. it's so weird to be in my apartment and not hear that insanely annoying beat coming from the apartment below us every night (not that i miss it), seeing all the empty parking lots and when walking down the street barely pass anyone who actually looks like they might be a college student.

i'm still associating athens with not-so-good feelings. so even though i have nothing going on, except working a few days, i still have a harder time dealing with things. it's amazing how much your environment can affect your mood. i can't wait until this week is over, then the really fun part of my break starts.

athens 11.29-12.8 [CAR class, M-F, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.]
columbus12.9-12.22 [interning @ the Columbus Dispatch]
home 12.23-12.26 [CHRISTMAS!!!]
new york city 12.27-1.2 [New Year's :-)]

so it'll be a crazy break, true story. not as relaxing as i was maybe hoping for. but it's going to be fun. i'm estatic for this internship, especially since i'll actually be getting paid! *shock*

i know i sound all over the place, considering how i was just complaining that i don't really want to be here right now, but it's the holidays. it's hard to be in a bad mood. i think i'm just not happy that i'm here in athens by myself. well, liz is here. so that makes me happy. but i think it's because i'm living by myself right now. i'm not used to that, and i'm not sure i like it.

i decided this weekend i'm just going to spend as much time as i can with liz and throw myself into this speakeasy redesign, which, by the way, we just decided to do "in house." we're insane, but i think it will be much better this way *crosses fingers*

and if i get really bored, there's always myspace surveys :-P

on another note - concerts! i have a few planned for next year already. if anyone else is interested in joining, let me know!

AFI 2.9 @ Newport [Columbus, OH]
Taste of Chaos 3.18 @ Hara Arena [Dayton, OH] - the Used, 30STM, Chiodos, Aiden, etc.
Anti-Flag 4.20 @ Bogart's [Cincinnati, OH]

eeeee just looking at that list makes me super excited. seeing AFI, 30STM and Aiden again. and seeing anti-flag, chiodos and the Used for the first time.

the used. oh my god. i will die. <3


so yeah, call, comment, e-mail me, message me, if you're interested :)

gosh, it's so freakin' windy outside. the sky is gray. the trees are dead. i wish it would just get cold and snow already. at least the snow's pretty.

oh, and one more beef. when i returned to athens i got our electric bill for the month. you will not believe this: $131!!!!! for one month! i'm assuming it's because of the heat, but c'mon. that's just ridiculous. what college student has that kind of money? blahhh, i need to figure something out.

$131. baby jesus. that kills me. it's almost laughable.

alright, i've wasted enough time. i'm peacing out.
