Today was terribly weird. it was not terrible though.
i learned a lot today:
i can entertain myself for hours with just some music and a book.
abortions hurt, alot.
on-ramp traffic control light things are not all that bad.
Grease, artery clogging pizza is very good.
lingerie rips easily and is also easily hidden.
i will get diabetes.
a Scotsman is a Scotsman is a Scotsman
a death is hard, but you will live on.
Pro-Tools is awesome.

XXX movies can never substitute you
Desperation may challenge whether that's true
My frustration begets my longing for you
Love to maintain, and lust to keep it like new

I just organized the genres of all the music in my iTunes.
I wanted to choose from the drop down of genres iTunes suggests, so I ended up sorting most things into the following genres:
- Rock
- Rock/Pop
- Pop
- Folk
- Indie Rock
However, I think I might redo it at some point and type in my own genres, because those ones don't work very well. I feel like what I really need is genres like these:
- Oldies
- Embarrassing
- Socially Acceptable
- Irish
- 90s
- AWESOME

It's time to make a confession.
I don't have Helvetica on my computer.
It's not my fault, you see. It really should COME on the machine. The thing came with a ton of fonts already installed, but somehow they left off what is probably the most important one. Figures. It's an IBM, so what did you expect?
But it has gotten to the point where I need to do something about it. If only it wasn't so expensive! When I bought Kabel I cheaped out and only bought the book weight, so I have no bold or italic or anything else. It's frustrating, but I've been dealing with it. But I feel like I need to at least have the bold and italic faces of Helvetica, and I would really prefer to have the light and black weights too. Well, I'd prefer to have everything - am I the only person who's always had a bit of a fondness for Helvetica rounded? yes? no? - but at any rate, I really need more than just the standard weight.
But, you know...I'm poor! I'm a college student! Since I'll have a fair bit of money from this summer I should probably use some of it for this, but I'll admit it - as much as I love typography, I have a hard time dropping $100 on a few font files when I think of all the books it could buy. Or all the shoes, or all the concert tickets. You know how it is.
One way or the other, though, I need to do something about this atrocity. IBM - why, oh why, couldn't you have pre-installed it on the machine?

Hahaha...Haha oh man.
Note my mood.
So last night there was a free Goo Goo Dolls concert going on down town. You had to be 21 and over to get in, so I was planning on just staying home and sulking. However, at about 6 I got the itch to actually try and go...just to say I tried. So I called up friend Sean since iele is not in town, and we headed down there about 7.
First things first. We had to get in. 4th street has extreme security and everyone gets carded. Somehow, we found this amazing little walkway that just sort of...opened right in the middle of 4th street live. WUT? MISSION ACCOMPLISH.
Upon entering, we noticed a large roped off area. VIP ticket holders...go figure. If you didn't have a VIP ticket, you had to stand about 30 yards back from the stage...and that area was already packed. ALSO the walkways on either side of the stage were being cleared every 2 minutes by security for fire-hazard reasons, so things were not looking good.
We went inside the Hard Rock Cafe, simply because we were tired of being pushed around. We sat in there for maybe 30 minutes before Aaron Miller and George Lindsey from 102.3 The Max (The radio station that was sponsoring the event) walked by us to get a table.
SO WHAT DOES LIZ DO.
I hop up and say, "Mr. Miller? Do you happen to have any more VIP tickets?"
I was thinking he was gonna be like "LOL no."
BUT HE GOES.
"YEAH WAIT RIGHT HERE."
OMG.
So he turns to George and turns back around and just hands up two tickets.
........
Needless to say, 102.3 is my favorite radio station now.
Holy SHIT. WTF. OMG.
So we got into the roped off area...and were front row center, baby. FRONT ROW CENTER. FOR FREE.
I think it is safe to say that my luck is spent for the rest of the year....D:
XD
HAPPY DAZE,
Liz
EDIT:
Also, sad times for the Derby! The horse that came in second, Eight Belles, fell and they had to put her down right there....it's so sad...Congrats to the winner, though! Congratulations to Big Brown!

Epic fail.

So, I started this as a reply to Nancy's post, but it was getting so long that it seemed ridiculous as a comment, so it's getting it's own post.
My favorite love songs! 38 of 'em. Haha. And I have a feeling I'm still missing a few. I didn't feel like whittling the list down, so whatever. There's sort of a lot of old songs in here. I discovered as I was choosing them that it takes a lot for me to really consider a song a love song - so stuff like "You're So Damn Hot" didn't make the cut even though it's one of my favorite songs, because...it just doesn't fall into that category for me.

whoa, its been a while.
a few things have happened lately, most notably i now am the proud owner of a 1988 white female. or a girlfriend in laymens terms. I met her in my fencing class and so we get to fence together and stuff. unfortunately we dont get to spend much time together cause we are both busy, but i dont mind it.
in other news, uhhh, im kinda falling behind in my classes. well a few of them. hopefully i will pass them all and come out with a B average. for my financial situations sake. oh and speaking of financial situation, im thinking about getting a motorcycle. well really i want a Vespa of some sort, cause that would be awesome. uber awesome in fact. but i think a motorcycle will be a better investment. in any case 50+ miles to the gallon sounds awesome.
