ugh, i am way behind on lj again. i don't know why this keeps happening! (wait- yes i do. marilla82 calls me and says "come get dinner with me" and i think "yeesh, i am so exhausted i can barely stand up" but i say "okay!" and then we end up watching a zac efron movie. !!!)

also, last week was the fall out boy show and it was SO GOOD. UGH, THEIR STUPID FACES. massive amounts of fun were had, but i hardly slept for two days straight, and i had 15+ hours of overtime last week, and then stayed out way too late friday night. i am still somewhat zombie-like! good times!

also also, i was fucking pwning BEDA on my tumblr, and then last week happened (helped jessica make a video, fall out boy show, 12 hour shift, the insanity that was friday, etc) and i screwed it up. goddamn you, pete wentz!

anyway, the reason i am updating: BOOKS! just bought cathy's ring (usually i would take something like this out of the library, but it comes with ITEMS), salt & silver (by octette/lalejandra andddd someone else. idk. it doesn't matter, cos anna is one of my fave fic writers of all time ever and that's all that matters), and death's daughter (by amber benson. YEP!). i am almost excited for what i'm sure will be an excruciating work day tomorrow (12 hours at one of my least favorite hotels, probably with my least favorite electrician).

the other reason i am updating: now jenny, her mom, and several of her other crazy fans are encouraging me to drive all over creation (if by "creation" you mean "the southeast") to see her in may. they are starting to wear me down. anyone want to come on a roadtrip?

(and damion suomi, that local boy i love so much, will be playing in town three times in may and i can't go to any of the shows. URGH. the one at park ave on 05/16 is free, so if you are local you should go. he is totes adorable.)

i started the learners by chip kidd today. nhnfcs MOAR CHIP KIDD PLS! i am really happy (hah) with how he dealt with the narrator's name, which is something i was kind of concerned about. (his narrator has no name, which is how it should be. but he goes by "happy" cos that's what winter called him ♥) i am also really happy that about two years before i start thinking i might want to do something, chip kidd writes a book about it that makes me realize i am insane. and i am happy that i can realistically pretend that the narrator is from nj, even though he is actually probably from pa.

anyway, this means that i finished abhorsen by garth nix. DOG♥! i always have a bit of trouble getting into this one, but then it has one of the best endings ever and i have to try really hard to not be an expressive reader cos i'm at work and it's embarassing.

(oh yay, library just got more books in for me! i almost wish the social was brighter so i could read between sets. also, they are giving away free tickets to the show i'm going to friday, so if anyone wants to see that local boy i love and some other bands i've never heard of, just email them! (hm, it sounds like he made some changes to his old songs that are on the new album and put the new versions on his myspace. interesting!))
