| yesterday was such perfect 'weeny weather, gray skies behind skeletal trees with every crunchy hue of orange on the ground, and a full moon at night. perfucktion.
such a good weekend until it wasn't any more. cleaning out the 'pod to find last november's playlist entitled "i wait, november." funny how some things just carry over, some points in the year tend to hold on to the same feelings no matter the circumstances. we'll spend all our lives just havin' lives and there'll be no time for any lies

| i'm listening to "used to be" and wearing my devotion t-shirt and i want to be victoria legrand when i grow up, ok?
i am overwhelmed by blues and work and being the worst student journalist of all time. it's fiiiiiine. today looks like: lunch, midterm, study, test, crash. wake up and work more. it's a weird time of the year, because all real schools had fall break and this one's just dumping shit on us/me. i love this place, i do, i love what it stands for as an institution and i love the people i've met here and the shit i'm doing here and i'm positive i made the right decision to come here. i just miss my life, i miss my city, i miss my friends, i miss the comfort in being sad. | | |
| today was the most authentic fall day i've had in what feels like years, or maybe ever. i woke up at 1 because i needed to, i walked with my hands stuffed in the pockets of my leather with "most of the time" on repeat and a crunch underfoot, a different orange on every tree and only the thoughts of bob dylan and warm coffee and cool-looking lesbians at diesel floating around. so i sat in diesel and crushed on the ginger at the coffee counter (i'm sleazy for ron weasley) and read for a few hours and had an egg&cheese that made me miss paradise and a coffee that didn't. last night i listened to "naked as we came" on repeat until it was time to fall asleep and tonight it will be "most of the time" because i can make it all match up, i can hold my own, i can deal with the situation right down to the bone, i can survive and i can endure and i don't even think about (you). most of the time. | | |
| here's a little story about how japandroids are the nicest band of all time and i generally miss living in new york city.
so todayyyyyy i was really super stressed out about my life and i was like ok i'll go sweat and scream at japandroids and life will be good. so i work for a while and then take the t for basically my whole life to harvard ave and i walk into great scott and they're like "you don't have a government ID, you can't come in" and the muttonchops guy is nice and gets me my money back but the ginger is bitter because i made him feel like an asshole. so the coathangers played and mical and i got pizza and i was sad and then adorable brian from japandroids was tuning his guitar in the window by the bar and so i wrote "i'll sing the beatles & you'll sing them better" on the back of my pizza plate and mical made me go bang on the window until he saw and then he motioned us inside because he thought we were asking him to play the song but then we told him what happened and he was like "i'm so sorry dear it's not us, it's the venue" in his adorable vancouver accent and then i was like I REALLY DIG YOUR BAND and he was so happy and shook my hand and asked my name and then told us he'd play "sovereignty" extra loud for us and then the merch guy came outside and gave us copies of post-nothing and japandroids pins and when they got on stage they said "this is for the girls who couldn't get in!" and played "heart sweats." they are the sweeeeeetest.
