My parents are traveling to Turkey, so I've been spending most of my time trying to avoid telling them how long they should stay in
Cappadocia. I don't know guys, stick around until you get bored. There's giant stone penii in every direction - you should be happy for a few days.
The bike's falling apart more than usual. My cassette teeth are so worn down that a few of them are more round than square. And somethings wrong with my right shifter - I think I can probably fix that.
Halloween parade yesterday, and Halloween things afterwards. It was fun. I realized that I shouldn't be around my musician friends when they've got instruments. I realized for the millionth time how much I love October. I realized that drunk people love bathrooms even more than they love shots, traffic cones, hamburgers, or promiscous members of their favored sex.
I got tricked into going on a date Friday night. It was late, and I was confused, calling around to see who was still up at 10:40 pm. I reached an old high school friend I hadn't talked to in months, they said come meet them, I did, and was introduced to this girl they'd been trying to get me to meet all those months ago. It was pretty awkward (surpise!) - The girl and I are sitting next to each other, there's three other people at the table, and the whole time I get the idea that my "technique" is being closely inspected. I wanted to leave very very badly after ten minutes, but I didn't want to insult the girl or my friends, so I invited the girl to come for a walk, which ended up being a bad idea, as the walk lead to my place, and a long drawn out morning the next day, and probably another week or so of journal entries along these lines.
I'm planning a Halloween pre-party on the day of. It will be at my apartment from 6 until 9, there will be weirdo foreign horror movies (with an emphasis on Lucio Fulci's ripoffs of American zombie movies), hunch punch colored orange, and probably a smoke machine. Maybe sandwiches too.
I am trying to find a way to organize all the parties and stuff happening over these next two weeks. Halloween night is especially bad - Critical Mass, my pre-party, an alleycat at 9, the alleycat afterparty, Black Lips at Star Bar, and then like three different house parties. I would like to try and be at all these things. I would also like to get fairly trashed and makeout with a girl dressed as a sexy cat (this is my goal for most nights, but October is the only month it actually happens).
Oh, and a camping trip sometime in the future, but inside the city. I'm thinking along the beltline - there's a few really nice spots that are far enough away from people that campfires can be set up with no problem.
Work still sucks, still looking for a new job.
Haven't felt any real inclination to eat lots of acid for three weeks now, which may or may not be a good sign. Though, now that you mention it, I currently do want to eat lots of acid.
Whatevs. I'm gonna go be in a pillow fight.
