Last nights blog post was informed by vomit that happened 20 minutes pre-post. Portland wasn't so bad, just like a lot of anxiety and weird interactions.
Marty is comin over ok she is here.

I just played that krecords show and I wish it was fun, but it really wasn't that fun, mostly it was just INTENSE and anxiety riden. I've never done anything in Portland that I'm really into besides hanging out my friend Jess's house with her cool kid Luka.
Sixx and I were late to the show because we underestimated the time had until soundcheck, BUMMER. So yeah, stressful. ALSO, there's just so many damn people who used to live in OLYMPIA now residing in PORTLAND and ALSO they're all always telling that I SHOULD JUST MOVE THERE, THAT IT'S SO GREAT AND LIKE THE NEW OLD OLYMPIA.
Come on people, get real. I live in Olympia because I LOVE Olympia NOT BECAUSE I WANT TO BE A PART OF SOME DUMBASS NOSTALGIC MUSIC SCENE. I'm here because I moved here for school and because I FELL IN LOVE WITH A BUNCH OF MY FRIENDS WHO LIVE HERE and because LUCKILY, I get to exchange IDEAS/CONCEPTS/ART with wonderful members of this community and MOST OF THE TIME without any sort of economic incentive. To me it wouldn't MAKE SENSE to follow the trend of folks who moved south due to the POPULARIZATION of a SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION in ASSOCIATION with a certain GROUP of people MAKING/SELLING music and art. I CAN MAKE AND DO WHATEVER I DREAM, WHEREVER I DREAM IT, I DON'T NEED YOUR SCENE, also I DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT OR WANT YOU TO BUY MY SHIT, c'mon let's figure out a trade...
I love OLYMPIA for all of the reasons why some say they hate it, because IT'S SMALL, because IT'S BORING, because THERE'S NOT THAT MANY PLACES(bars) TO GO TO and because EVERYBODY DATES EVERYBODY ELSE.
I HAVE TO GO TO BED NOW. GOT TO WAKE UP EARLY SO I CAN EAT ONE LAST BREAKFAST WITH HANNAH.

yesterday i learned how to "floss" the nerve which rests along your elbow into the proper place it belongs. and today i learned how to make linocut printings. also i learned the ways in which social movements are constructed and how they opporate.
tonight i bailed on an a hangout opportunity because it involved a party and lately i've been bored with the idea of going out to bars/parties/drunk environments. sometimes drinking is boring and numbing and i waver on these feelings, but mostly i've just grown tired with experiencing the same levels and types of social interactions which occur within drinking environments.
this country has a new president and i still don't know how i feel about it. partly positive, partly still like wtf doom, america get off your fucking ass.

invisible punk smoke
IN MY MIND
i keep thinking about what it would actually feel like if i could actually physically feel myself reaching down to pull something great out of my abstract self. like what would it feel like in there, like inside my insides? would it feel warm and wet like my real insides? soft like meat? would it be cluttered? could i move around easily? would it take long for me to find something of value in there? would i take the time and consideration to make sure whatever i decided to pull out was ready to come out? would the great thing need coaxing to come out? would there be an array of great things which were all ready and willing to come out, but i could only choose one?
for these questions i cannot answer
having the internet in my house has been changing my life. i am not quite used to it yet. in fact i'm working on creating a positive balance, because having 24/7 access to things like myspace or facebook can feel really intense to me. the gross and honest truth is that i have been creeping all over the net like it's my job, i've looked at more random peoples publicly posted pictures more in this past week then probably all of 2008 combined. it is so fascinating to me that i have unlimited access to whatever these people decide to post just because i am a member of the same online community. and i'm unashamed in my creeping because i don't feel like i'm actually creeping or that it's voyeuristic because account holders have control over how much they publicly display via the world wide web. voyeurism, identity, visibility, perception, objectification, exhibitionism, media, aesthetics and social hierarchies are a few of the topics i've been thinking about in relation to my celebratory internet creepfest that's been going on for a week now. i think it's about time to switch gears into some more serious and engaging youtube and wikipedia research.
