I really don't even know what to write in this entry. I'm working on t-shirt designs for my friends and me. So far, I'm having fun, but I haven't started on the ones that require graphics (I've only done the typographic ones). They all have something to do with each of us. Most people won't understand, but who gives a shit, right? I know I don't.

Uuuh, ok so I'm done here. I'm going to continue working on my Harry Potter fan art. If it doesn't look awful when I'm done, I'll probably put it up here. I'm sure everyone is holding their breath in anticipation now that I've said that.

Song 'o' the Day ---} The Hives - Main Offender

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK, this is gonna be really really short 'cause I'm in class and it ends soon. Basically, I just wanted to say that I haven't had time to spend on DA in the last few months. I'm hoping maybe I'll gt some time to just screw around and actually do some more art and get more up here, but I don't know when that'll be.

FOR ANYONE WHO'S LEFT ME COMMENTS: I'm sorry I haven't replied or anything. Like I said, I haven't really had time for DA for quite a while.

Alright, that was short. Thanks for reading this, if you have!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/245530/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/245530/ Sat, 24 Aug 2002 19:39:55 PDT
Song 'o' the Day ---} Elton John - This Train Don't Stop There Anymore
Sigur Ros - Svefn g Englar

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yeah, so it has now been what, 3 months since I've even logged into DA here. I think the underlying reason for that is quite simple, now that I think about it--any habit of mine with connections to my years at Penn State depresses me now.

I thought I was taking this whole I-had-to-leave-Penn-State "thing" fairly well... And then people started going back to Penn State--without me. It's SO selfish of me to think like this, I know, but I can't really help it considering there's no one around to whom I can vent about it.

I could bitch to friends at PSU if: 1. I could catch one of them online, 2. he/she actually had time for such things, 3. I thought any one of them could really understand my point of view. That sounds really mean of me to say, but I KNOW if it was the other way around, I wouldn't be able to really fathom what this is like for me.

Until I got to college, I never did anything interesting. I had friends, but we never did anything to "write home about." Granted, I wouldn't write home about anything I did in the last three years either, but that's only because I'd get sent to rehab and therapy for it.

For anyone actually reading this, if you read my last entry, I'm sorry that this is just another bitch-fest. I've got to get this down though. I need to get this out of my system, and for some reason, this actually works to a degree--it works better than anything else I've tried anyway.

So, I guesss what's been happening lately is that just as I got used to having just a few friends around that I could see every once in a while, everything goes and gets fucked up again. Everyone's leaving me. I know they're not actually leaving ME, but maybe that's part of it. I can't talk to anyone about this without feeling like a selfish brat, so it makes me feel even more alone which causes me to think even more selfishly. It's a vicious cycle, and I blame my psyche. I blame my insecurity. All sense of contentment, self-reliance, and self-esteem that my friends managed to help me build up over the years seems to have shrunk almost to the metaphorical size they were when I was in high school.

I visited State College last week, and I must say, I had a fucking awesome time. Colleen, if you read this, thank you SO much for letting me stay with you. I feel horrible about how I treated you. I feel like I didn't give you nearly enough attention, and I have since I left town. The next time I visit, we'll do something just the two of us... And maybe Bob. Jill, I'm really happy we got to hang out again, even if it was in that evil apartment. Yes, many horrible things happened and lived there, but I know I have a lot of great memories from that place, and I think you do too. Mike, it had been way too long since we'd hung out. I'd forgotten how strangely comfortable I get when I'm around you, and I'll always be thankful for the eccentric and always-amusing conversation that is ever-present when we're together. And last, but definitely not least, Chase... I don't know if I've mentioned it before (for obvious reasons, my memory isn't the sharpest its ever been), but you've been such a great friend ever since we met. I've truly missed hanging out with you these past few months. To everyone I've mentioned here, some of what I've typed may sound a bit strange, but I often find it hard to express, in words, the thoughts that run rampant through my mind. Once again, I blame my psyche.

So I guess most of this current depression stems from my former moderate lonliness turning to extreme lonliness now that everyone is going back to school, and I'm staying here. There will be no more 3 a.m. recycle bin dunkings, 6 a.m. smoke-a-thons, latenight park bench police dog raids, latenight drugged up walks and stargazes, drunken searches for the park, nocturnal sleeping patterns, smoking during national crises, Denny's runs, Diner runs, staggering walks home after partying with friends... This is why I'm depressed and lonely. I keep remembering things like that. I keep remembering those times I had with friends and thinking that those things will still happen, but I'll no longer be a part of them.

I wish things were different.

I love you all. Live it up a little bit for me... Just please don't tell me about it.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/135468/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/135468/ Thu, 16 May 2002 19:48:26 PDT
Song 'o' the Day ---} A Simple Plan - I'm Just A Kid

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yeah, so it's been almost a month since I've written, and I'm sorry. As I've said many times before, I dont' know if anyone actually reads these things, but in case anyone does, here's a brief update of my life.

I'm home until next August at least because I didn't get housing for Kutz-fucking-town in the fall. I'm real happy about this one (note the sarcasm here 'cause I'm laying it on REAL thick). I haven't been up past 2 since I've come home because there's nothing to do. I've basically just passed out in front of my TV every night. I haven't even gone out because I don't have any friends from around here anymore. I've been lonely, depressed, and trapped since I've been home basically. Pretty much every freedom I had while I was at school is no more thanks to my anal-retentive parents and their stuck-in-the-fifties frames of mind.

I started work this past Monday at Wegman's. This, sadly, has been the highlight of my life lately. I get to get out of the house for hours on end. There's a smoking lounge where I can eat my lunch and take my breaks without fear of someone I know catching me. Of course, the act of actually BUYING cigarettes was harrowing today. I was SO paranoid. I think I'm going to buy them somewhere else from now on and just bring them with me.

I've been slowly packing up my room since I've come home so that it can be painted. I'm also getting new furniture, but that's not important right now. What's important is that going through all my old shit (and there is a LOT of it) has not helped my mood. Its just been making me miss my friends even more than I had already.

I just want to go back to the last week of school and relive it again. Would I do anything different? Of course, but there's not a lot I would change. I wish I could have said my goodbyes a bit differently to some people. There are a few people I wish I could have seen just one more time before I left. There's one person, in particular, that I wish I had had the courage to be more honest with the last time I saw him. I fear the last time I hung out with him could have been our last. We've said that we'll see each other and visit and all that bullshit, but being the cynic I am, the thought that it was all comforting lies is causing my stomach to turn every time I really dwell upon it. I don't think he'll actually see this, so I'm going to say "fuck it," and put a little note here for him. Mike ("farmiliar" Mike), if you see this, I miss you and I wish we could have spent more time together before the end of the semester.

My three years at Penn State were not just the best years of my life because they were fun--they also taught me so many things. I grew into the person I think I always was inside. Though I still have issues (who doesn't?), I am much more comfortable with who and how I am. I also befriended some of the best people I could ever call friends. Though a few of the early friendships were ill-fated, they were "growing experiences," and I hope I won't make the same mistakes later in life.

I consider my friends to be the most important part of my life in the last three years, and I thank them all for allowing me to both mature because of them and with them while still holding onto our youth at the same time. I don't think I ever had more fun than when I was acting on a whim and being stupid with a close friend. And there's nothing more touching or personal for me than when I spent some quality time one-on-one with someone (often with the help of everyone's good friend Bob).

I guess I just want to thank everyone I've come in contact with for the last three years (this includes people online). I've been so sentimental lately, but there's little else for me to do. It's not like I can drink away my sorrows as my dad worries that I'm an alcoholic every time I even MENTION beer or something. But anyway... Thank you everyone.

Song 'o' the Day ---} System of a Down - Chop Suey

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once, again, I haven't been around for a while. This time, it's cause my connection got restricted to what PSU calls "56k." It's about 5 times slower than any dial-up connection I've ever had. I can start DA loading, go to the bathroom, and brush my teeth, and it still won't have loaded. My connection goes back to normal this Saturday at midnight, so I'll be able to check out all the comments and such after that! Ugh, I can't wait!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/115822/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/115822/ Mon, 22 Apr 2002 18:54:53 PDT
Song 'o' the Day ---} Gary Jules - Mad World

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For anyone who might actually read my journal here daily (I doubt anyone does, but y'never know!!), I've been absent a lot for the last few days. My 21st birthday was Thursday, so I haven't been around much.

I'll just include the basics of the weekend here.

Thursday night, we started the evening at Zeno's. Jill, Julia, Dane, Julia's friend John, and Jess came out. Around midnight (after a few beers), the others had to catch a bus, so Jess and I headed to the Sports Cafe for cheeseburgers and beer.

Alright, gotta cut this short. Just got some news, and I really don't feel like writing this any more. Perhaps I'll pick it up tomorrow or later or something. Sorry.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/112452/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/112452/ Thu, 18 Apr 2002 16:15:23 PDT
Song 'o' the Day ---} Cypress Hill - Tequila Sunrise

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wow... I sounded a bit drunk in that last journal entry. I wasn't really really fucked up, but I was drunk. I'm a bit out of it right now 'cause my stomach isn't feeling 100% from last night. I think I had like 6 or 7 beers and a Jim Morisson (which was 2 shots, I think). That's not that bad, but I can feel it today. Of course, I don't feel shitty enough NOT to go out tonight. Tonight's the more official bar tour. A bigger group of people are going out tonight. Like yesterday, I still don't know where the hell we're going, and I still don't know WHO is going. ... I just totally spaced out there.

I guess I'll describe my night as briefly as I can.

My friend Mike asked me to help him film for a class of his, so I went to his place around 8 for that. Since Jill wasn't going to be back in time for South Park night, Mike, his roommate, me, and Bob hung out for TV. I was supposed to meet my friend Colleen at 10:45 at the hookah lounge, but Chase ended up coming. So he picked me up at Mike's, took me to Jill's (to get some stuff I had dropped off earlier), and we went to the lounge. We got a 3-tube hookah of apricot tobacco... It was great. You can take the biggest hits ever off those things.

11:45 rolled around, and Jess and Ben came to the lounge to meet us. At midnight, Colleen had to go home to do work, so the rest of us headed to the Sports Cafe. We had to wait a few minutes, but finally, midnight came, and we headed in. I was put in charge of saving our spot at the table while Jess, Ben, and Chase got drinks. Chase came back first and brought me the Jim Morisson which I really enjoyed. It tasted sorta like a root beer float. A few minutes later, Jess came back. Then Ben came back with a Guinness for himself and a Yuengling for me. We just hung out and chilled there. After we had all finished our drinks, we decided to check out the Phyrst. Goddamn, that place is awesome! It's just a little Irish pub, and it's literally a hole in the ground. I really like the atmosphere in there. There's a very private feeling to it. The band that played at 1a.m. was pretty good too. Jess, Ben, and I shared a pitcher of Guinness (Chase had to leave 'cause he had some stuff he had to do for today). Jess had to go then (it was around 1:45 now), so it was just Ben and I. We shared a pitcher of Yuengling, then the bar closed. Ben walked with me back to my building then headed back to his place.

So, in conclusion, I had a great first night out! Let's hope tonight is just as much fun! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/111912/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/111912/ Wed, 17 Apr 2002 23:47:27 PDT

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hahahahaha.... I'm drunk! Tonight was awesome! I had so much fun! Granted, we only had time to hit 2 bars, but I had such an awesome time. The Phyrst... A+ in my book. The Sports Cafe was alright. It was a lot busier than The Phyrst and there were a lot more frat boy types in there, but it was fun too. Yey I'm 21!!! It's about fucking time! Sorry this is so fucked up right now. I'm'a go now. Later!

Thanks Ben, Jess, and Chase! I had a great time!!

I'M GOING OUT FOR MY BIRTHDAY TONIGHT!!!!!

Sorry... I'm really excited. That's about all that's on my mind today--that, and this ridiculous heat (weatherbug says it's 90 degrees right now--bloody weather). But yeah... I'm not even going to bother with writing anything else. I'll write about tonight tomorrow. Later! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/110836/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/110836/ Tue, 16 Apr 2002 17:49:00 PDT
Song 'o' the Day ---} Pete Yorn - Life On a Chain

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aaah... Yet another boring day was yesterday. Today, however, was hotter than hell--at least for this time of year here. Apparently, we don't get spring here anymore. 2 weeks ago, we were all walking around freezing, and today was 90 degrees. I've been sitting here sweating bullets all day... Ick. Oh well. At least it won't snow on my birthday like I figured it would.

Uh... That's about all I can say about today. I doubt it's going to get any more exciting tonight.

Check out this link:
[link]
A friend of mine made that. I don't remember if I mentioned it in my journal for Saturday or not, but we had to wait a little while for Pete Yorn to play at Movin' On. Rumor has it he was banging some chick in her dorm room. That's probably untrue, but it's still funny, and so is this flyer. Simple, but funny.

Alright, I'm out. Tomorrow night, yey!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/109827/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/109827/ Mon, 15 Apr 2002 12:40:47 PDT
Song 'o' the Day ---} Pete Yorn - For Nancy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hmm... Yesterday was boring. That's about all I can say about it. I spent a large portion of the day working on that ID that I'm still not completely satisfied with anyway. Later today, I'm gonna go get the barbell in my tongue changed for a shorter one so I'm not biting it all the time. About the only thing I can think about now is that I'm going out for my birthday Wednesday night at midnight! SCORE! Almost there!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/109047/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/109047/ Sun, 14 Apr 2002 12:27:02 PDT
Song 'o' the Day ---} Lo-Fidelity Allstars - Sleeping Faster

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alright, the first thing I'm going to say about yesterday is that I can still taste the rum--the, like, third of a bottle of Bacardi that I drank. I guess the good part about it is that I can hold my liquor again. My tolerance to liquor went down to around 0 for a few months. Of course, that's probably not something anyone really wants to know, so I'll move on.

So like I said in yesterday's journal entry, yesterday was Movin' On. I didn't spend a whole lot of time at it, but the time I did was a lot of fun. I went out for Pete Yorn in the pouring rain. I actually brought my umbrella which was pointless. I got down there and ran into a friend from HS and some of his friends, so I hung out with them.

Because of the rain, and because of the huge group of college student, a mud pit formed before too long. Come to think of it, I'm sure it's still there now. But anyway... Three of of the people I was hanging out with decided to take the plunge, which they did. I remember that Pete Yorn was pretty good, but I was watching the Mud People. There was wrestling, frisbee playing, sliding, and mudflinging going on, and everyone was having a ridiculously great time. I kinda wish I had gone in. My feet are still disgusting from the day though.

So after Pete Yorn, I took all my friends back to my dorm here so they could clean up. We tracked mud all over the place. They had to go hang out with a disgusting excuse of a human being, so I bought some more cigs then went back to Movin' On for a few minutes.

On my way home again, I got a call from a friend who wanted to meet for dinner, so I turned around and met her. I got a call from another friend while we were eating, so she and her friends came and joined us for a little while. At that point, Jess (the girl I was eating with) and I decided to pre-game for Jimmy Eat World. I went home for a bit so she could get some work done, then went to her place around 9-something.

We cracked open a fifth of Bacardi around 9:45 and half of it was gone after 20-30 minutes when we left for JEW. We also brought some with us. Jess was wearing her blinking Cyberdog t-shirt which came in handy as pepole were too mesmerized by it to be mad that we were butting in front of them at the show. We showed up about halfway through their set, but we managed to get up pretty damn close to the stage thanks to that shirt. Of all the people to run into on our way through to crowd, we ran into that excuse for a human (Kyle). He tapped us on the shoulder and was like, "not even gonna say hi?" So I told him to "fuck off," and we kept walking.

I'll try to shorten this story as I just realized how much I'm babbling. So JEW ends, and two of Jess's friends came over to where we were to meet us. We stood there watching the Mud People (who were still at it--most of the HUB lawn was a mudpit at this point) and talking until we decided to go back to Jess's and keep working on that Bacardi.

We watched SNL and just hung out drinking. We came close to finishing that bottle. I finally walked home at around 3:30, but I was up until 6-something.

So all-in-all, yesterday was a really good day. I had a lot of fun. I have dried mud all over my room, and now I have to do more laundry, but it was all worth it!

Alright, that was WAY too long, and I'm sorry. I'm gonna go now since it's almost 3:30, and I'm still in my pajamas. Later!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/108227/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/108227/ Sat, 13 Apr 2002 10:37:24 PDT

Got up a little while ago... Today is Movin' On here at PSU. We've got Lucky Boys Confusion, Pete Yorn, Pharcyde, and Jimmy Eat World playing for free for us today! It's raining too, so this is going to be a mini-Woodstock if it keeps up. Should be fun!

As for yesterday, it was another boring day until around 11:30 when the weirdness began. I don't feel like explaining it right now, but it was a strange night. I'll get to that some other time.

For now, I must finish getting dressed, so I can get some food! I'm starving! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/107599/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/107599/ Fri, 12 Apr 2002 12:54:43 PDT
Song 'o' the Day ---} Lael Alderman - Cigarette

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is gonna be a short one... Basically, my uterus feels like it's trying to escape my body today--joy. I don't really feel like doing anything but sit here in front of my computer at least for now. I'm hoping something interesting will happen tonight, but I have a bad feeling this is gonna be a really lame Friday night. Oh well...

Yesterday was boring for the most part too. I worked on a wallpaper for most of the day only to give up on it (temporarily) around 1:30 a.m. when I decided to walk to my friend's place. I got back from there around 4:30. Then, I think I may have watched some TV before I just passed the fuck out. I really don't remember.

I feel the need to mention this (incase anyone actually reads my journal)... I've noticed lately that most people on here have quite a few favorites. Until yesterday, I was trying not to pick anything as favorites because I hate singling out certain pieces. I've decided to just go ahead and do it anyway as it might make me seem high-and-mighty or something--or at least that's what it seems to me, I dunno. Up until now, I've seen loads of work that I really love and from now on, I'm going to start adding those to my favorites. I realize this was probably a completely unnecessary paragraph, but I'd rather look kinda stupid than seem like a bitch.

Wow, I thought this was going to be short. Sorry about that. Alright, I'm'a wrap this up now. I'm also going to start putting a song 'o' the day in here. I have one in my AIM profile, but I might as well just put it here too. I'll even put it at the top incase you're curious and don't want to have to scroll through my boring journal entry to see what it is. Alright, I'm out.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/106843/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/106843/ Thu, 11 Apr 2002 10:38:53 PDT

So yesterday was kinda boring. Most of the day consisted of me sitting here making wallpapers. Though it's fun, at one point, I had the Photoshop toolbar burned so deeply into my retinas that I saw it everywhere for about 20 minutes. That was my cue to go take a shower and leave the computer alone for a lil bit.

I went to my friend Jill's for South Park night (as usual). That was fun -- it was a good episode! If you missed it, check it out this weekend!

*yawn* I'm still waking up a little bit. I think after I finish getting ready to leave my building and get lunch, I'm going to work on my collage for my art class some more. I might even go get it enlarged so I can start working on the actual project tonight in class. It probably won't happen, but hey -- stranger things have happened.

Alright, I gotta finish getting dressed and shit. Later.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/106056/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/106056/ Wed, 10 Apr 2002 10:56:16 PDT
*yawn* Anyway... I'm trying to remember yesterday. Apparently, nothing exciting happened yesterday. That's kinda sad. About the only thing I can think of lately is that in 8 days, I turn 21. It's not the fact that I can legally get fucked up that excites me. It's the fact that I'll actually be able to go out with my friends that's great! Not only that, but a friend I haven't seen in almost a year is coming up for it, and maybe another friend that I haven't seen in a few months. Hee hee... I'm so excited! :-D (Yes, I'm stupid, and I'm sorry.)

I worked on my damn collage for a few more hours last night. I finally finished the two people in it (after looking through over 3000 pictures), and now I'm working on their surroundings. It's craziness I tell you--CRAZY!

I was getting ready to go to bed last night at 3:30 a.m. I was going to watch What Dreams May Come and fall asleep. Then a long-lost friend IMed me. We ended up talking until 5. As I lay there watching the movie, I looked out my window and it was getting light out. *sigh* I wish I could stop time sometimes. Oh, and if you've never seen What Dreams May Come, rent it. It's beautiful--very very sad, but absolutely stunning in the visual sense.

Alright, someone just sent me a link to some quiz, and I've just run out of things to say, so I'm gonna go. Later!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/105297/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/105297/ Tue, 09 Apr 2002 11:28:12 PDT
For obvious reasons, I don't really have anything to say right now. I downloaded this past Sunday's Simpsons episode (the one where he gets a prescription for medicinal marijuana). OMG, that shit's hilarious! I can't wait to watch it with my one friend after we hang out with Mary for a while. Should be fun.

But yeah, thta's the highlight of my day so far. It's raining and my lights just started flickering, so perhaps the Simpsons episode is going to be the highlight of the entire day. Great. Gotta think positive.

Um, right... Later.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/104894/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/104894/ Mon, 08 Apr 2002 21:21:12 PDT
So I saw George Clinton last night, and lemme tell ya, it wasn't worth missing The Simpsons over. I was sadly disappointed (as were all my friends I went with). Not only did P-funk start 45 minutes late, but 45 minutes after THEY went on, George finally decided to grace us all with his presence only to sorta bounce around on stage and grunt into the mic every once in a while. *sigh* The good part about the show would be the fact that I can now say that I've seen George Clinton. It's a shame the negative points of the show outweigh that one good part. Before and after the show was fun at least. We all hung out at a friend's apartment and smoked... Good times.

As long as I'm bitching about stuff, I might as well go ahead and bring up the fact that I am, again, fucking broke as a joke. Thanks to the $60 I had to spend for one goddamn art project (one that I probably won't even keep), I have no money. I turn 21 NEXT WEEK, and I'm broke! How am I supposed to buy myself fun now? Not to mention, 4/20 is 2 days AFTER my birthday, and I'm not going to be able to buy anything for that either.

OK, I need to stop complaining or I'm gonna get depressed. I need to focus on the collage I've been working on for the last 4 days or so. I only need to search for one more picture, then the rest should be easy. Almost done!

Alright, rather than try to end this smoothly, I'm just gonna abruptly end it tonight. Later.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/103493/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/103493/ Sun, 07 Apr 2002 01:33:42 PST ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/102992/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/102992/ Sat, 06 Apr 2002 09:43:28 PST
So the show last night was great! I'd never seen DMB live before, so it was an experience I'm happy to say I've experienced now. I'll be honest and say that I don't remember what song was being played at the time, but at one point, the packed BJC lit up their lighters, and it was absolutely beautiful. As I was not really sober for any of the show, the whole thing was quite fun to watch! There are only 2 things to complain about... [1] We had nosebleed seats (but also a good view), and [2] The show was kinda short. I enjoyed myself thoroughly though, so those two things don't really matter.

Uuuh, what else.... I went to my friend Jess's place after the show last night. That was fun. We just hung out and drank and stuff and watched TV. I know we watched SNL until Janet Jackson came on and we put on something else. I DO remember the walk home from both the show and Jess's place last night. It was freakin' snowing on the way to Dave... It was April 5th, and it was snowing!! It was just really really cold when I walked home later. Brrr. Oh well. Alright, that's enough for me. I don't know what's going on tonight, but I hope there's something fun going on!

I know when it hits me, I'll be really excited, but tomorrow's the Dave Matthews Band concert. I don't even know what time it starts. The people I'm going with don't know what's going on. It's all rather unnerving. There are a few things I definitely want to do before the show, but I don't know when to do it! I guess we'll work it all out somehow. We have to 'cause there's no way I'm going to that show sober.

So other than all that (which is boring to people other than me to begin with), there's nothing exciting going on. 10 days until Movin' On, 14 days until my birthday, 16 days until April 20th, and too long until the Reel Big Fish shows!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/100891/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/100891/ Wed, 03 Apr 2002 21:46:40 PST
Today was pretty uneventful, but I guess if I'd actually go to classes like I should, I'd have more to do. I'm an art major though... I shouldn't have to take classes that aren't art. Perhaps my refusal to go to classes that aren't art is my own personal way of protesting "the man." That sounds like a good enough reason for me.

Ok, I guess that's all for me right now. Just counting down the days to my 21st birthday from now on... 15 days left!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13 http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/100069/ http://averna13.deviantart.com/journal/100069/ Tue, 02 Apr 2002 19:09:16 PST
Anyways... I hope to upload some of the stuff I've done, and I'm hoping at least some people will like it. Alright, that's enough for now. Drop me a line if you feel so inclined.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]]> ~averna13
