More of a head-case than you will ever know

About Me

I am a self described concert addict. If I could afford it, going to shows would be all I did, but alas I am broke. For the most part I am "Minnesota-Nice," and if you don't know what that means here's an explanation: minnesota-nice basically refers to the stereo-type that Minnesotans/midwesterners are bend-over-backwards nice to people that they don't know. I fit that description almost... I have been known to have my bad days like anyone else. There are those that would call me a bitch, and I can accept that. I've been on the East Coast for 2 years now, and I can't imagine moving back to a tiny town in the midwest even if I do miss it from time to time.

My Interests

Music, photography, travel, music, concerts, reading, working on the book that I will never finish, music, talking to anyone and everyone, meeting new people, getting said new people to listen to said music, hiking, camping, roadtrips, baking :), music...

From exhausted to dead tired in 36 hours

All I have to say is WOW.... The last 36 hours have been quite interesting.  The first 24 were some of the most craptastic ever, but the last 12 were very entertaining.... Here's the recap: Frida...

Lessons

I am apparently a slow learner because it took me 22 years to figure out that some people are just going to disappoint you no matter what you or they do.  It's all just a problem of perspectives....

I'm an asshole sometimes.....

So last night 2 friends and I went to Baltimore to see our friends in the Underwater play.  First of all it was raining and had been all day which equals shitty driving and lots of puddles. ...

On My Way

Fuck it.  Today is a new day, and I am going to treat it as such.  I refuse to hide in my room and let them intimidate me.  Giving in to their petty bullshit would be tantamount to the ...

Excuse me while I do the dance of joy...

Sorry, but I had to write down the fact that I just stood up for myself for the first time in a long time, and it felt GOOD!  That's all I got.

Lent is kinda like New Year's

In that you usually give something up that you know you probably won't follow through with, and in that tradition I have decided 2 things. #1) I have decided to give up caring what other people think....

Yesterday was not my favorite day...

Mostly because I would love to give my roommates a lesson in etiquette (i know I spelled it worng, but it's close enough).  The lesson would have a lot to do with a large steel-toed boot up their...
