My friend somehow obtained a bootleg of the latest lord of the rings. It left a lot to be desired. Granted, bootlegs are often poor quality, as this one was in comparison to the quality you would see at the theater or from a factory made DVD, so i will still go see it in the theater. It seemed sloppily thrown together like they were tired of doing it, threw up their hands and said "Lets get this shit over with."
It has been so long since I'd hung out with this person exclusively that I'd forgotten about some of his quirks...The main one being that he can be dreadfully moody, and, although, I used to assume that I'd done something wrong, or that he was angry, I now find it manipulative. Everyone he knows worships the ground he walks on...to them he is a god. But he's just him. He isn't royalty, he doesn't have super human powers, and least of all he's not the god everyone thinks he is. He likes to make you feel like you're elite because you know him and because you have the privelege of hanging out with him, when really he's just like everyone else. I suppose I can't blame him, however, I mean...who doesn't want to feel like a king? Although I'm not entirely sure he knows he's doing it, and at the same time, I think he's too smart *not* to know.
Don't get me wrong. I love this boy like the dear friend he is. He's an expert on religion, has fascinating theories on life and spirituality, and he's highly intelligent to boot. But, I don't worship him anymore. Now that I see him for what he really is it makes me sad for him. He's lost in a world of working retail, role playing, and being worshipped for it. He's not working towards anything that will really make much of a difference in his life, and since 30 is creeping up on him faster than he'd like, it scares the hell out of him. I was too young emotionally and physically to see all this before, and now that I do I can't help but wonder why nobody else sees it. Maybe it's because everyone he chooses to hang out with are even more lost than he is. I don't know. It's his life and he can do what he likes with it. I just hope that he doesn't throw away all the potential he has to be something great just because he's scared.
Well...bedtime...

...if you cease to exist when you're alone? Cuz when you think about it, if you're home alone...and nobody is around and nobody is thinking about you, what evidence is there to prove that you exist?

I went to see the Phenomenauts last night. I'm sure I'm spelling their name wrong. It was interesting because I hadn't been to that venue in years. The Gilman hasn't changed a bit and I think the same couches were there last night as were seven years ago when I frequented the place.
It was totally fun. Even though the other bands I saw kinda sucked, I had fun making fun of them with Waylon, Loki, and TheKilted. Waylon and I had to leave about half way through the Phenomenauts' set because we suck and don't have a car. We still ended up getting interestingly stranded, and even though we left at midnight I didn't get home until one...
Anyhow...Puppy want my attention...must go tackle her.

Well...you know how my life is completely wrapped up in this salon thing I'm doing? Well...it's about to double up. My schedule is changing for January, and I now work mondays, too. It's only for a month, and I could use the extra mula, since the I was sick xmas eve and didn't work, closed xmas, left 2 and a half hours early yesturday bc there was one stylist left in the salon and he was on his last client for the day. THEN we have NYE, which hardly anybody is working and we're closed NYD. So major loss of hours for next paycheck. It also means, though, very little puppy for the month of January...that breaks my heart. Even after that, though, there's no guarantee I'll get mondays off again. Stupid life consuming job.
I have a dilemma. My best friend is in town on exodus from basic training...and I totally want to spend NYE with her bc I won't see her again in forever. She just wants to sit at her house and drink champagne in the jacuzzi...I want to dress up in a gown and a ton of glitter and go to a crazy party with her and the rest of my friends. I'm trying to convince her that a crazy party is the way to go and that she could crash at my place until NYD, should we get hammered. What other options are there NYE? Anything cool happening at the clubs?
::yawn:: When I came home from work today, my intentions were to clean the house and go to bed at 8 or 9. I ended up cleaning just the kitchen, pooping out, and going to bed at 5ish. So now it's 1am or so....I'm not terribly sleepy...But I have a thing against cleaning if it's not light out (I know, I'm strange, but the natural light helps me focus).
Watch the POTC DVD, you suggest? Why, what a brilliant idea!
