So... it's that time of year again... to start planning for tour season 2010.

Looks like it's gonna be a steady one, but not as jam-packed as last year. (Maybe that's a good thing considering I am graduating in May.)

Lets start making plans to meet-up... or carpool (Ashley and Ashley...even though one will be in Australia for a while)

January:
9th - Play for Keeps in Vegas
27th - We The Kings (Take Action Tour) in Cincy

February:
6th? - The Academy Is... in Chicago?????????????????
18th - The Audition in Louisville (need a buddy to come with since it's a "school night")
24th - Jack's Mannequin in Indianapolis (no one ever comes to Indianapolis...so come one, come all)

March:
6-14th - SPRING BREAK... Where should I go? What should I do?

April:

May:
7th - The Cab (AP Tour) in Columbus.... AND the day before I graduate!!!!!!!!!

June:

July:
5th - Warped in St. Louis
6th - Warped in INDIANAPOLIS and my 23rd BIRTHDAY!

August:

September:

October:

November:

December:


There it is...as of now. It's really weird not knowing where I'll be or what I'll be doing after May 8th... heck, I might be MIA and miss Warped... I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Happy Christmas eve to everyone on my flist! I hope your day is going amazingly! Hope that tomorrow is going to be awesome for all of you!

I have a super interesting~ story to tell all of you when I get on an actual computer. It involves a sexy Australian Ginger...

( DA BEST AND DA WORST )

I'll post more explaining my reasoning if people want. Idk. Comment.

thanks to [Unknown LJ tag] for the coupon thingy, it will definitely come in handy <33

noooooo
I just went to bodyartforms.com to order some stuff (since there's a discount code if you order in December) and they are out of these in my size (in every color). whomp whomp.  I got these in neon pink though.

and woohoo the semester if FINALLY over.  Huzzah. 

At a Christmas party. So bored. Who wants to kill me?

lately i have been trying to be truly honest with people about how i feel about them or how they make me feel about something. i used to never be like that - i was always very guarded and evasive and would blatantly lie to people just to have them like me better. i used to not want to know if someone didn't like me. i think i've done a lot to change that...idk i've been working on being more honest with myself and with other people and telling them exactly how i feel or how i think they're reacting to a situation and why.

i think that it's better to be honest with people. i mean obviously if they look fat you have to be like OMG NO YOU LOOK GREAT OMG - but other things. more important things. i always try to be honest, i'll even go so far as to hurt someone's feelings a little if i think it will help them - not too much though, hopefully. i care about my real life relationships very much.

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Friday I helped redorchids hide a body (-173 points). Last month I bought porn for xcarex (-10 points). In March I put gum in ironhide's hair (-12 points). In June I had a shoot-out with rival gang lords on the 5 near LA (-76 points). In November I gave jaytee13 a wet willie, then I took it back (-5 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-276 points). For Christmas I deserve a lump of coal! Sincerely, tristafantastic

because i went to an all girls boarding school for four years i guess i forgot that some people still begrudge certain girls for being put together and - OH GOD NO! - intelligent. i'm sorry that i can get by in your class with minimal effort and still make more informed comments than half the people in the room and that you may or may not be intimidated by a girl who is not a complete jizz rag retard.

the truth is that i enjoy knowing information about a broad range of topics for purely narcissistic reasons. i like being able to understand things. i hate feeling confused or stupid, so i make a substantial effort to make sure that doesn't happen. BUT I SWEAR TO GOD IF ANYONE EVER FUCKING DISRESPECTS ME FOR SPEAKING UP IN CLASS OR TALKS DOWN TO ME BECAUSE I AM A GIRL I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL RIP YOU NO LESS THAN SEVEN NEW ASSHOLES.

i don't think i'm out of line for being flabbergasted because a professor
1) refuses to read over my paper drafts
2) dodges every request i have made for any bit of help
3) speaks condescendingly towards me
4) YELLS AT ME IN CLASS AND SAYS HE WILL BE DOCKING MY PARTICIPATION GRADE BECAUSE I MADE ONE OFFHAND COMMENT ABOUT FUCKING THETANS.

THETANS ARE FUNNY. SCIENTOLOGY IS FUNNY. IF WE ARE HAVING A DISCUSSION (OR AS MUCH "DISCUSSION" AS YOU ALLOW) ABOUT SCIENTOLOGY IT IS NOT OUT OF LINE TO SAY "MY THETAN LEVELS ARE OFF THE CHARTS TODAY". YOU CAN SUCK ME AND ALL MY THETANS' DICKS!


ITT MAKE JOKES ABOUT THETANS OR COMMENT ON HOW I AM TURNING INTO triedthistwice.

So lj is not sending me e-mail updates anymore, hasn't been for months which is whyI sometimes am a failure and don't get back to you guys.

Is there anything I can do about this?

Also: sorry for the lack of return comments :(

In one month, one fucking month, I will be twenty four years old. I don't think I can handle this. I don't *feel* twenty four. I don't act twenty-four. At twenty-four you're supposed to be shacked up and having babies. Instead, I don't want babies at all and I'm waiting on a divorce. Right now, all I can think of is how much I've fucked up my life since I turned twenty. That's four years of fucking up. Ugh.

Twenty-four, you've come far too soon. :(

i love this song and i especially love how (in my opinion lol) there's a slight michael jackson moment around 3:48.


sooooo i guess i don't update my journal that much. i haven't really been up to to many things. i got a new job working for abercrombie and fitch. basically my position is the person who stands in the front of the store looking disinterested and then is like "hey, how's it going?" when you walk in. that's word for word what they told me i have to do. i applied for the job on a whim, and because i find their company dynamics hilarious. they completely capitalize on people's insecurities and desire to be considered "cool", and the brand is so blatantly racist and classist and they're not even a "luxury" brand. it's in the danbury mall for god's sake. anyway i thought it was hilarious. there are so many more hilarious regulations that they told me when i was hired, it was hard for me to keep a straight face, but i'm excited about it in my own way.

ummmmm what else. i almost died in an explosion the other day. well not really, but if i had been standing maybe 75 feet from where i actually was, then i would have been dead. one of the electrical transformers at the white plains train station completely malfunctioned and blew up, the power lines snapped etc etc. it was kind of weird. the train came like 30 seconds later so i guess it didn't mess up any of the train signals or....idek i'm not a mass transit master.

on a different note i was really confused/amused/idk? by all the anons yesterday saying that my voice is nothing like what they assumed it would sound like. i mean i'm used to it because i talk to myself all the time but - yeah. i'm not sure why but i found it strange. i have a low voice and a slight new york/ct accent. i pronounce water like "wudder" - which is the true testament to a ny area accent i feel like.

i really don't have a lot to say which is why i'm talking about a lot of things at once but without having any actual thoughts to offer on anything.

are any of you guys done with school yet? (not mary because i dont care about your life)
any plans for the break? i want to re-watch all of planet earth and all of the pride and prejudice miniseries while i'm on vacation. i have off for all of january so really i could, theoretically, do anything.


EDIT: and to make this more fun, if you want, i'm gonna turn off IP logging and you can ask me whatever kind of question you want. or something. literally anything! well maybe not anything....lol.

OMGHOMGOMGOKGMOKGMGOMG

SEMESTER 1 IS FINISHED! NEVER EVER DO I HAVE TO TAKE CANADIAN POLITICS AGAIN! HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS!

In other news, Kait has graciously agreed to continue to lend me her computer because she really knows how to make a girl happy. This means my trucker story MAY BE DONE by Christmas. It will not, however, be editted by Christmas but whatever. If I can finish it this year, my life will be awesome.

Which leads me to a request.

I want art for this because I've worked SO DAMN HARD on it and it deserves to be commemorated by pretty pretty pictures. I am a draqwing failure and as such, I cannot do this for myself.

Are there any artists out there that want to draw me a few scenes? I will be forever grateful. I mean FOREVER!

Pretty please?
*bats eyelashes*

No? Okay then :(
