I could be clever, but I'm too tired right now

Ridiculous that I'm blogging at 6am really, but if I don't do it now, I won't have time later. Things have been off-the-map busy lately and I don't forsee them slowing down a whole lot. Sorry to have to do the whole summary post, but that's the way it goes...

Last Monday: Won trivia at Conor's. A bit unreal and really, really fun.

Tuesday: Tired from Monday, general catching up on things. MME meeting after school. WHY did I agree to be part of this committee?

Thursday: Scissor Sisters show. Pretty fun once the stupid house-techno DJ got off stage. Band didn't start till 9pm but I was there at 6 pm...Wasted time, that's for sure since I abhor house techno. Got some good pictures I think, once I have time to process a few, I'll post some. Totally not my usual crowd, lots of gay men, women in boas and maybe even one or two cross-dressers. Not an emo kid in sight. I felt a little out of my element.

Friday: School, nap, general exhaustion but then Ben's birthday at The Brown Jug! I think everyone had a fun time and I got lots of compromising (and, if they'd been other people, potentially embarassing) photos of Ben and Jon. Good times.

Saturday: Recovery, some paper grading (hardly enough, I am SO behind), then Jon and I went to see 300 (pretty good even though gorier than my usual movies), hit Meijers for groceries and I let him cook me dinner. I'm still not entirely sure how it happens, but we always seem to end up taking forever to cook (maybe we talk too much while cooking? Who knows) and thus end up actually eating dinner at 9 or 10 pm. Oh well, I get a huge kick out of cooking with him, and I'm always the recipient of excellent meals, so I'm not complaining:)

Sunday: Open house at school (translation: waste of time), quick "dinner" at home and then I went out to Pontiac to cover the Cartel/Cobra Starship/Boys Like Girls show. I was the ONLY one on the list with a photo pass and Harry had a lot of trouble getting in. As much as it might make me a bit of a shit to say it, I LOVED the fact that for once I was able to easily get in and he, who usually can talk his way into anything and is more than happy enough to do so, had a little trouble. Sometimes I feel like he likes me being totally dependant on him for getting into shows, and I have to admit liking the fact that I'm NOT so dependant on him anymore. I totally appreciate his help, guidance and advice, but I also don't like feeling beholden to people. Is that weird?? Anyways, show was pretty good, lotsa emo kids and a few creepy dads. Got to help with an interview with The New Atlantic (nice guys, pretty hot lead singer;) but we had to do it in their van because, as usual, the security at Clutch Cargo's were being morons. Late night though AND I got mixed up heading home and added at least an extra 15 minutes onto my trip.

Monday: more trivia. This time it was all Irish trivia. We didn't win :( but I feel like I made some vital contributions for once. Nice to know that all those tuition dollars for my Irish Lit classes and a summer semester in Ireland paid off:)

PSYCHED for the warm weather, even if it won't be around for that long. I'm also pretty excited that I don't have any shows this coming weekend. I had offers for at least two and turned them down. I want a weekend off AND I want to have some fun on St. Patrick's day. It's silly, but I really like St. Patrick's day, maybe there's a bit of that Irish nut still in me yet:) Maybe I just like a socially sanctioned opportunity to eat soda bread (mmmm) and drink beer. :) Dominick's is open...maybe I can convince a few people to brave the cold for some pre-season sangria...


Oops, crap. Gonna be late...MME time. Blech.
