Forgive any incoherencies. I'm tired, for reasons to be explained in the very first block o' text.
-Well, I posted here at 4-ish yesterday. At like five, I was
messaged by hampshire people. Or should I say, hampshire girls,
because, out of the like fifteen people who funnelled through the
massive aim chat, only two were guys (including me). From like 5
to 1 (A.M.) there was almost uninterrupted chatting, it was
frightening. Especially during the various "Guys suck"
moments. Despite the liberal feminism, I don't mind the
people. Hopefully I'll like the campus when I visit next week.
But fuck, eight hours? Jesus. Someone just kill me now, because I have no positive achievements to add to society.
-Swarthmore rejected me. Fucking Pennslyvanian uber-liberal
pricks. (Actually, I wouldn't have gone there. It's nice,
but everyone's an elitist asshole. Not the amusing kind of
elitists, but the "why are these fucking applicants on our campus?"
elitists)
-I've decided to learn to play the mandolin. Eventually.
Because it's such a cool word, and such a cool instrument. And
musiciansfriend has them for really cheap (I don't know why? defects?
that's fine. I'm poor.)
-one thing I realized from yesterday: college kids are cooler than high
school kids. Well, either that or I really do just get along
better with girls than guys. Either way this is a positive thing
to note. There's only a couple people I disliked. Though I
hold a general dislike for the word wicked. It disturbs me.
-updated album of the year holdings: 1. PT - Deadwing 2. AiH - In Case
We Die 3. Kino - Picture 4. Strapping Young Lad - Alien 5. Meshuggah -
Catch 33. HM: Dark Tranquility - Character, The Mars Volta -
Frances the Mute, John Petrucci - Suspended Animation
This year has been surprisingly great so far. That's seven
excellent albums right there. And we still have new Dream
Theater, the (not-so-new) James Labrie album, a new Devin Townsend
release, and others, too. Like, fuck, kids: this year has been
excellent. Last year barely had five good albums, and this year
has so-o-o many. I mean, Character would have been my third album
last year, methinks (behind Be and Marbles). This year, it's not
even there. The last two ranked ones are moving up as my
tolerence for "extreme" metal rises. Alien is most likely to move
up, because it's so damn good (even though the whole thing is so
extremely chauvinistic. I mean, being a closet male feminist, it
kinda disturbs me, but it's so great musically).
I doubt anything could top Deadwing though. Deadwing is wicked
hardcore. Honestly, Lazarus and Mellotron Scratch are just
too-good-for-words. They are soul-quiveringly beautiful. I
wish PT would print some posters, or shirts, or something, so I could
become a ruthless fanboy.
If I had to pick a third song, I'd pick Possessions off of Alien.
I don't know, the drumming is perfect, and the female backup "singing"
is so unexpectedly great.
Well, I'm out. 'Til next time.

I'm chewing on a pen. There is a vaguely inky taste.
And it is raining really fucking hard outside. It's the rapture!
"Dude, I mean, you'll be in the V.I.P. section of heaven. You'll
be sitting by the velvet rope talking and someone'll ask, 'How'd you
die?' 'Oh...fucking fire.' 'fucking fireants' And
they'll get to you, 'How'd I die? How'd I die? IN THE
FUCKING APOCALYPSE! You should have been there man! There
were pigs flying, and shit exploding, and then a fountain of blood
emerged from the ground, and it spawned Avril Lavigne's face, and she
read off the entire script of Good Will Hunting. Whoa...whoa!"
(from memory  )
"Watch the ricochet! It's gonna hit you! It's always funny until someone gets hurt, and then it's just hilarious!"
Ahh...Faith No More...so senselessly violent. But Mike Patton is the man.

(deciding my prior post wasn't really anything, I decided for a new one.)
I've quote Napoleon Dynamite three times today. And I have an
unending hatred of that movie. It was, quite honestly, worse than
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. And that is a terrible
movie. And I quoted ND three times...!
Yeah, so...I'm still a terrible person. And I wish there was mail
on Sundays, especially Easter Sunday. Because I am insanely
nervous that college will reject me. Convinced of it. fuck
fuck fuck.

Things that amuse me: Looking at the featured content bar.
Because 4/5 are like 13 year old asian girls who talk like...well, like
I talk, in real life, just hipper. Instead of such clevernesses
as "you hefty bitch!" we have "Y0! Bizzatch!" or something like that, I
don't know. And use AOLer speak, and think people actually care
about their pathetic little lives.
Me? I know people don't care about my pathetic little life.
I just write random things, mostly to amuse myself. Not to amuse
others. It is a dangerous thing, thinking people care about your
existance.
But, really, seeing those makes me think that hmm? this is the wrong
site for me. That and the homosexual pink silly smiley.
That clued me in as well.
Anyway. This was a one-observation post. I have nothing else.
<<EDIT>> You know what's a really good PoS song?
Thorn Clown. It should have been included on Remedy Lane.
It's needless, sure, but it has really good musical moments, and really
would have fit right in after This Heart of Mine.
