I’m so sorry. :(
It’ll be over in a few days. I just gotta get through this part, and then I can start mending myself. I just need to let it all out first. Thank you.
Thanks, all of you. <3

WatchThe Doors, “Riders on the Storm”
It’s been thundering and pouring since early this morning. I know. I’ve been awake all night and all day, and I’ve yet to eat or shower or anything else non-dumped people in happy relationships do.
But I digress.

I keep getting replies from potential CouchSurfing...
…telling me they’re sorry Mark and I had to cancel our trip.
I don’t have any money, so I can’t even go by myself. (He was going to cover some of it for me, and I was going to pay him back.)
Best laid plans.
Best intentions.

– Douglas Coupland, Life After God
i think this is true, though i do think there’s hope. i think once we figure out we’re broken and how we’re broken, we can learn ways to cope with it. i know i have. it’s hard work, and it’s constant work, and i get tired and want to give up a lot - and sometimes i...

Say "cheese."
One of my friends said I looked uncharacteristically “smiley” today. He said every time he’s seen me lately, I look “down,” which is weird, because I am generally happy, in that overall kind of way, despite all the stress and stuff lately.
I dunno. It made me sad that he perceives me that way, and it makes me wonder if others do too.

Sigh.
I hate long-distance relationship-ing. I only signed on for it, because it’s only for three and a half months, and Mark is too awesome to risk losing. But damn, do those three and a half months draaaaag!
I can’t wait for him to come back home to Pocahontas County. The best part of dating - cuddles, dates, memory-makin’ - are too hard to do when someone is so far from you for...

WatchLucero, “What Are You Willing to Lose?” (via their Vimeo channel)
So what if all my heroes are the losin’ kind
Not a chance in hell but still they lay it on the line
Would you give it all away for what you want to do
Would you keep on goin’ if you couldn’t make it through
What are you willing to lose

"Hello, Wisconsin!"
JK: So then the servers started coming around with the milk, and -
ME: Wait, what? They were serving milk?
JK: Yeah, we serve milk at weddings in Minnesota. It's a midwestern thing.
ME: What do you mean y'all serve milk at weddings?
JK: Umm... like... out of glass pitchers.... [makes a pouring gesture whilst looking at me like I am an idiot]
ME: You mean, like, with Kahlua and vodka, right?
JK: No. Just milk.
ME: I don't understand.

What a chief.
It’s true. He’s a stand-up dude.
They just don't make 'em like this anymore.
ME: Baby, if a meteorite is heading for Earth, and everyone has to move to the moon, would you go, or would you stay knowing death is inevitable?
MARK: IDK, depends.
ME: On?
MARK: Would everyone beee able to? 'Cause, I mean, women and children first.

TVD Live: Austin Lucas at The Well, 2/11
BY MICHELLE EVANS | FEBRUARY 16, 2012
I caught up with Austin Lucas at a new basement bar and music venue in Knoxville called The Well (where, coincidentally, the talented-in-his-own-right Matt Woods has his day job). When I heard this was his last stop on a U.S. tour filled mostly with house shows and intimate venues, I knew I had to see him.
I have...

I had a dream last night I was using the bathroom,...
That was fun. I only do that when I am super-stressed, which I am. (It’s maybe only happened two or three other times since I was 16, which is the first time it happened.) Money is super-tight. I can’t afford my rent anymore and am currently looking for a “creative living solution,” i.e. a place I can live rent/utility-free for barter, as I have a number of desirable skills...

dearbennichols:
So this is about that one time Adriana got a surprise phone call from our dear Mr. Nichols…. Shortly after discovering Lucero, through means we either don’t remember or don’t want to disclose, I “met” Andy. We bonded instantly over your music and he introduced me to so much more. I’d have to say he is responsible for molding my current tastes and exposing me to one of the other...

OH HAI DISASTER WEEKEND FROM HELL.
This post is obscenely long. I mean, really. But I am writing it more for me than anyone else, because I am stressed and need to vent. Continue at the risk of your own boredom.
This past weekend, like the title states, was pretty much a disaster weekend from hell, though, unlike the title states, it definitely had its bright spots. Like any good re-cap, I will begin at the beginning.
A while...
