why people suck

wow. why is it that when you tell people that things are mandatory they still DON'T FUCKING SHOW UP and they DON'T FUCKING TELL YOU BEFOREHAND and they don't even have passable excuses/apologies?!

this has been a source of frustration for me since about mid-december. people are douchebags. and like i understand that y'all are busy, but if you have legitimate conficts you also know about them beforehand, yes? yes. so EMAIL YOUR DAMN COORDINATORS WHEN YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T MAKE IT!

sorry. i'm one of the co-chairs for an upcoming concert and we're doing intense prep for it and people keep not showing up. and it's the same people always who don't show and don't email either of us chairs and it's just ABSURDLY frustrating. it's probably time to send a bitchy email.

seriously, i was in an awesome mood earlier and then went to a MANDATORY writing session and people STILL didn't show and now i'm just kind of pissed off. but i'm going to play rock band. so it's probably all good in the end.

blink 182 is no big deal

ok people. blink 182 is back. so? BLINK 182 IS NOT THE MESSIAH,  just another band from circa middle school. get over yourselves people, and get real lives. especially y'all who are in college which is CLOSE TO THE REAL WORLD. and for goodness' sake, they weren't even that good. fun to listen to, yes. good musically? not so much. ten years and nobody will actually remember/care what they did. there's a reason you hear so much about dead composers. what they wrote was real music. now get your asinine status updates out of my feed. some of us are actual adults.

brass rat

the 2011's had their ring premiere this weekend. i want my brass rat. really badly. but i have to wait an ENTIRE YEAR for premiere, and then a million more for the actual delivery. one reason it sucks to be a frosh.

PHD comics

Piled Higher and Deeper

i love this strip. absurdly. it is making me afraid of grad school but it is awesome nonetheless. including shakespeare in the strip? a happy for me.

man i'm a dork.

kiki dunst

i was watching spiderman 2 this evening. that scene where mary jane goes running to peter in her wedding dress? and she's all smiley and pretty? i miss the old kirsten dunst. i feel like she's gotten really sad and shlumpy recently and i don't like it...

dear kiki dunst: please dress well and be happy again. we miss the old adorable you. muchly. love, the world.

life = good (or, more randoms)

i have the most adorable bio TA ever. she's tiny and puerto rican. and adorable. honestly, i'm going to all her office hours just to hang out.

realized that the credit limit is actually a good thing, because if it didn't exist i would almost certainly be taking seven classes this semester instead of five. like, four humanities classes instead of two. i am officially a lunatic.

first choir rehearsal of the semester is tonight!

i have a 926-page course reader for my music analysis class. 926 pages of classical scores. the world has exploded in showers of epic and awesome.

in short, life = hella f'n sweet.

first day randoms

i am such a dork. i'm sitting at my computer listening to beethoven's 9th & reading the score along with it.

math TAs have god-awful accents. as if that weren't enough, SO DOES MY PROFESSOR.

i hate being re-taught vectors a million times in one day.

colored chalk makes me absurdly happy.

people need to learn that my having class is a non-negotiable state of affairs. if you want to talk to me, it will not kill you to wait till four like my away message tells you to. stop it.

i'm beginning to think in terms of facebook statuses. evidently i am on the internet way too much. I WILL NOT TWEET. really and truly.

i get such joy out of score reading it is hilarious why am i such a dork?

i like diet coke. it sparkles.

i refuse to make sense anymore.
