Various Commenting Boys: Creeps, all of you. ....but I'll still take the thongs. Delicious Sarah: Actually, I've bought people thongs, too, so we are at least equally weird on that point. If it's weird. Which I'm going to say nay to, cause I'm pretty much a connoisseur on weird and that just isn't ringing any bells. Recently, my brother bought Say Anything tickets for all of us because he's a good kid and he would also know nothing about them if it wasn't for brilliant, brilliant me. Me and Jen were very excited, but we've tried to see them twice in the past and bad things have happened, i.e. they got a flat tire and didn't even show, or the tickets sold out. So we have learned not to let our hopes get too high in this realm of rock and roll visitations. And then something miraculous happened. We bought the tickets... we showed up at the venue (the House of Blues in Downtown Disney)... and Say Anything actually came out and played. It was the most beautiful thing ever. Okay, really, it was a fantastic concert. Most of the stuff they played was off of ...Is A Real Boy, but there were a couple from ...Was A Real Boy and Baseball. Mr. Max is fucking hysterical, he's so "slightly gay and rebellious" but in a mature yet cool way. He's just friggin' awesome, basically. They also played the best encore ever, coming back out with Alive With The Glory Of Love, Walk Through Hell, and then Admit It!!. We all had an absolute blast and it was cool to have this sibling outing together and enjoy music that we all love. I only wish Matt had got a t-shirt, but I can't really explain that. Anyway, good news on the school front. I got an A on my American Lit paper, and a 94 on my Greek Tragedy midterm, so I'm pretty happy with both classes right now. Although I still don't know about the majority of my other midterms, so pooh. Pooh on slow grading teachers. I've also been doing a lot of grad school research, as well as talking to various professors about what they think about different grad programs and schools on the whole, and it's been more or less fruitful so far. I've got the next couple weeks to really get to work on that and finish everything up, as well as get started on a paper and a project for my current classes. So you see, the work really never ends around here. But I think I'm hanging on just fine. Or maybe I'll snap tomorrow and I don't even know it. Life is just full of surprises. But hey! The weather just took a nice, cold turn and it's just lovely out. Yay for warm jackets and fuzzy scarves!
