I got done with oral surgery about 5 hours ago, no worries. The worst part was predictably the IV in me. I hate that shit so much. I just felt the need to inform the internet of how cool I feel right now! My body feels like i'm full of helium and I'm going to drift off out of my chair. I'm sure staring at a computer monitor isn't helping. I would tell you what drugs are giving me this crazy side effect but That'll have to wait. Goodbye!

Megan and I went to see Franz Ferdinand (and *cough* deathcabforcutie *cough*) tonight, though we left 4 songs into Death Cab. Franz was SO AWESOME THOUGH. While I'm thinking about it, let me try to compile a mostly complete set list (this is easy to do when the band only has two albums and a few B-sides):

This Boy (opening song I think?)

The Fallen - great song. what great commentary by me.

Do You Want To - "this next one isn't much of a song but more of a question - DO YOU WANNA?!?!?!"

Dark of the Matinee - apparently this is a song about dirty things teenagers often do in theatres!

Jacqueline - This song kicks so much ass.

40' - I think this is my favorite song off of their debut LP. Just as good live as crusin' down the road in the car.

Take Me Out - Hey let's all cheer for the only song we recognize! yay!

Come On home - I seem to remember the keyboard solo being really great tonight.

Michael - Yep, still gay even live.

Something I can't Remember - This is a partially acoustic song they said they wrote recently while touring in Australia, and had never played it in the USA before! Other than a rogue guitar string at the beginning of the song, it went pretty smoothly. I'm interested in what they do with it if they decide to record it.

Walk Away - Kinda gay song, but catchy and fun to sing along to.

Elanor Put Your Boots On - I always thought this song was pretty weak on their new LP, but it has a totally different feel live. Instead of just a meek keyboard medly and some acoustic backup, the drums and bass kick in as well and it has a much more punchy, effective sound. I liked it live.

Outsiders - OH MY FUCKING GOD. THIS WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST PERFORMANCES OF A SONG EVER. The addictive guitar riff and spacey keyboard medley weren't the half of it. They started out with just the drummer doing his kickass thing. Then one of the guitarists put down his guitar and started playing the dummer's symbols like a maniac. Finally, a semi-fifth member of the band came out and started banging on the tom-tom. The sights and sounds of those three ATTACKING this drumset was too awesome to describe. Definitely a great, strong song to (almost) end the show on.

This Fire - Last song if I remember correctly, very energetic. This song makes you want to BURN CITIES.

They played a few other songs too, but those are the ones I specifically remember. There was plenty of kicks, jumps, and kickass poses struck throughout. I just hope we gave them a warm enough welcome to have them come back around here sometime soon.


Nathan's eagle project and prom are tomorrow. Such a busy and fun weekend.

Well, this has certainly been an eventful spring break. It's late at night and I'm being rather solitary for the first time in a while, so I figure this might be a good time to blog some. I'm rather enjoying this quiet; relaxing in the dark and chilling to some Sigur Ros is perhaps the one thing I haven't done on spring break. And don't take that perverted (at least not very).

Tonight I hung out with the Apex/other people at Matt's and had a grand time. Food, Katamari, hot tub, fire, and perverted stories make me happy. Break has been even more eventful up to tonight though. Let's rewind.

On the first saturday of spring break I awake at 5:30 am to pick up Nate and Phil to get on the road to none other than Busch Gardens! We get there around 9:45 after a rather painless 225 mile trek and the fun begins. It was mostly cloudy which scared a lot of the crowds away and left us happy to cycle through what normally would be busy roller coasters all day. Ryan and Ryan join us that night and we go out to dinner at Chili's. What happens afterwards in the Days Hotel should probably be top secret, but I can tell you it involves lots of ice and cups covering Phil strategicaly. No, this wasn't some perverted sex shop thing. Ice is amusing though in large quantities. Anyways, sunday becomes day two at the amusement park, and much fun was enjoyed by all. Pictures shall be forthcoming as it's past 1am and I'm a little too tired to upload them all and link em' up. We drive back sunday around 5pm and get home just in time to play some video games and crash at Ryan T's house. Sweet trip.

I can't exactly recall all of this past week's excursions, but I believe it went something like this: Ryan's, Phil's, Ryan's, Phil's (?), BEN FOLDS then Phil's, Jillian's party for Ryan H then Ryan H's, Ryan's, XBOX 360, Bike Shopping, today. Oh, and of course I saw megan some in there too :P

There you have it spring break nothing to see here wot wot. Prom is coming up this weekend and Jen's parents are committed to letting us invade her house saturday night! At least we won't have to be heckled by Megan's parents or, even worse, go home after prom. Hee haw.

I want to buy things. I will.

Tommorrow is the last day of freedom. Oh snap, I also think I have to go to work! Oh well, I need things, remember? If all goes according to plan, i might score a second part-time job as a Hewlett-Packard rep for $15/hr over the summer. I would be so happy to get that job.

I don't know if I'll be up to the Dinosaur Jr. concert on thursday, but FRANZ FUCKING FERDINAND WILL BE SO AWESOME ON FRIDAY. Then prom. Nice. Oh, and Ryan Ryan and I bought grass passes to see Nine Inch Nails on the last day of school, april 9th. I guess I better get at move on for ordering that cap and gown. Shit. I hope they don't rape me with late fees and such. I hope I get to graduate! Ack. I can't be the only senior who didn't get this taken care of god dammit. I just now realized that only towards the end of my ranting and blogging have the curse words emerged. There is a severe lack of pictures in this post!
