so, we're back from vancouver. and i'm exhausted. i handed in an assignment super late. the banks/government are breathing down my neck. i'll probably get a third job. i'm having to cut back my extracurricular activities that were awesome and creating social change. grrr. but wanted to share this picture of organ trail who we saw play their last show (tba.) at hoko's (i ganked the picture from their myspace). which was a lot of fun. i didn't buy anything on my trip, except for a new punk haircut (with mullet) and lip balm and two postcards. honestly. i mean, stewart bought me a copy of venus. but nothing else. no craft supplies, no sequins, no music, etc. wait, i bought some stuff at lush, in my depressed state.so, moving on from suck. i've been inspired by a friend's 101 in 1001 list and it's starting and posted here! yay! i'll be keeping people updated on adding to the list and updating the list, etc.
