I have not posted in a long time!
I am back at school. Thanksgiving vacation was pretty good. I spent just about every moment of it with Allycia, which was a lot of fun! Life feels better and more complete when she is around. She is that kind of important to me.
So now I have all of my finals to work on. Three of my four classes gave me a paper for my final, two of which are going to be eight pages long! Luckily, one of the papers I am writing is about how The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time relates to Shinto religion. That paper should be a lot of fun! The third paper is only four to six pages long, and for that one I am watching Princess Mononoke with dubbing and subtitles. I have to find some thesis about translating. The dubbing or the subtitles were translated by Neil Gaiman, so that should be a lot of fun. The best part about college is that you can get away inserting nerd culture.
I keep meaning to bring pictures back to college with me so I can scan them (my printer at college is also a scanner!). There is a picture of myself with Jeph Jacques (of Questionable Content fame), but there is a much better picture of myself with MC Frontalot, Tallahassee Econolodge (whose real name I just found out again! I was feeling bad that I had forgotten it even though I am really bad at names of people), and Jeffrey Rowland (Wigu/Overcompensating). That last picture is one of my most favorite pictures ever. If I had to choose a top two, then that would be the second one (I have this picture of Allycia in my driveway and she is so cute and perfect in it, so sorry MC Frontalot, Tallahassee, and Jeffrey). I did not think that I would ever meet Jeffrey, but I did! I hope I was not too rude. He showed me his spider bite, but I was not super impressed because I have seen the pictures of it when it was so gross that some people get all "ghee" when they see it. Seriously, they make a sound like "ghee" and take a step back. In retrospect, I should have asked him more about, not to be nice, but because it is so interesting! I was not as shy as I thought I was going to be, but I was still really shy and I said a lot of things that I felt stupid for saying. It was still really awesome! Tallahasse was really nice to me too! I would have been far more shy when talking to them, but when they first got there and Jeffrey went to get them drinks, Tallahassee sat down near me and we talked a tiny bit (as another side note, whenever people see the picture they always comment on the fact that she is kind of resting on my shoulder in the picture. They never point out how Jeffrey has his arm around me, how my hands are in my pockets [I was feeling awkward], and how MC Frontalot is not that near us. He is still being so calm and awesome that you kind of just accept it). I spent a lot of the night hanging out with them, I guess. I am not sure if it was really hanging out. I probably did more than they wanted, but it was a concert and they were the only people that I had any clue who they were. They were still really nice to me. I think they noticed how bad I am at social gatherings. Seriously, if it doesn't involve a whole lot of friends or video games, then I am still a really shy person! I wish I wasn't though. The two of them are really cool and nice people.
I also got to meet MC Frontalot before the show, when I helped the band bring in their equipment. He asked me a question, and I barely mumbled it out. I was pretty scared actually because even though he introduced himself to me as his real name, I could tell he was Frontalot. Frontalot is also a really cool guy. His wikipedia article says that he lives in Boston now, which I am not sure if I should believe or not (I was looking up stuff on Nerdcore hip-hop. I really want to find some stuff by Rai. I only have the two tracts of hers from Rhyme Torrents).
Oh! I almost forgot. I had to leave the show before it ended, and I would have left later than I needed to, but Jeffrey, who was off doing something, came back to tell me the time. He had asked me earlier if I was close to my parents, and I told him yes because I am, and he had that look like he really cared about that kind of thing. I felt bad, but that is beyond the point. Anyways, so he came back to tell me the time, and I think it is because my parents were picking me up from the show. Jeff and Tallahassee assured me that I would be seeing them again soon, and I hope that I do! I would probably be a lot more comfortable a second time trying to talk to them. They are the kind of people I could see myself just making up stuff with, kind of the way things are when Nalden and myself get into one of our making up crazy things mode.
Ooh! I keep remembering things. So I said something that made Jeffrey laugh a tiny bit, and that part basically made my night.
So, now I am off to work on finals. I will be done with these finals and be on break sometime around the fourteenth, I think. What I want to do more than anything is work a day at TopatoCo. I would totally work unpaid, and I am pretty good at picking up things! I really just want to go out and see parts of MA that are new, and get some experience working at a place that is new. So, if TopatoCo people read this (I kind of doubt it, but you never know), I would totally find a way to Easthampton (I think there is a train I could take?) and work hard for free. And I have met some of you (Is it actually all of you?), so you know me, sort of, kind of, not really?
I will probably e-mail people sometime to see if I can do this. Probably once I find out when my last final is. I won't have too much to do on break, and I would rather do this than anything.
There is one last part, so at the end Jeffrey said something about Tallahassee noticing my name and something about sending. I don't know what he was talking about though! I thought he said he was sending me something or something, which would be cool if it was true? But I never got anything, and now I feel like I either missheard him (good chance) or that it didn't get to me (I guess a good choice). I don't care if he did send me something for the thing, I just don't want to inadvertantly be a jerk because I don't know what he said. I keep feeling really bad about this, and I tried e-mailing him about it twice I think, but he has never replied to those e-mails. I don't really know what to do because I don't care about getting stuff, but if he did send something and I did not get it, then I am afraid I am being rude by not thanking him, and I don't want to ask him if he sent something because I don't want to seem like I am expecting something and being all rude. I am sorry for the run on sentence structure.
So yeah. My goal right now is to finish up my finals, then to get an unpaid winter job/intership at TopatoCo for a couple of days.I feel like sunshine and: Great until last paragraph Listening to: halo 2 Soundtrack Volume 2 |
