Take my radio

Oh it’s been such a busy week/weekend. Saturday night I went to Salina to see Benjamin (and Clayton). I had a really good time. although 3.2 beer is frustrating for the same reasons as wedding keg beer. And I didn’t get drunk just wishing-i-was-drunk on it all. Watching ies was sort of bizarre. Given that I haven’t really watched IEs in forever… but they’re IEs and they’re weird. and it’s weird that people do them in college (even though i used to be one of those people). Agh. Seeing Clayton was really nice too. We spent the whole time bitching about the unreasonable requests people have when you work on their website for them even for free. It was dorky. But I’ve missed Clayton a bunch so I’m glad I made it into town.

On the way home I stopped by Manhattan to see Janelle. We made bracelets! I’m so excited! I’ve wanted to learn to macrame jewelry for years and I’ve never known anyone who could teach me. It turns out it’s so fun and easy. I love it! And my bracelet is really pretty… it’s blue with blue and white beads on it. (Colts colors. We were watching the superbowl. Though I did not notice the color coincidence until the next day). so we made bracelets and then matching earings for me and it was awesome. Now it’s only 3 days later and i’ve already bought a whole huge thing so that I can make jewelry too. Yipyip! and we went to this thai place that was just effing delicious.

Since then life has been hectic. Monday I went to Columbia for a Camera Obscura show with Emily. That was mostly awesome. I like Camera Obscura a lot and the opening band was good too. I may be wooed by pretty girls on stage with cute haircuts… but I like their studio stuff now that I have it so I think Pony Up is worth it. Dammit. I’m glad I went. And we got to dance dance dance which is my favorite part about going to shows with mle. cos it sucks not to dance. but sometimes it sucks more to dance and have no one dance with you. But when we’re together.. we dance. Awesome. The afterparty which consisted of getting drunk with Jeremy was fun too. I really wish debate tournaments were just university funded parties with kids who also did debate. And that programs with non-tooly kids got better funding. Figures.

The drive there and home was also a good part. It was a lot of thinking and enjoying the beautiful day and wondering about things. Mle’s cd player is broken as in doesn’t play any sound at all… so we got to just talk. and she got to play mario kart and curse about it. Lol. I just like driving her car. And I like the open road.

Lots of thought are going on in my head. Like… should I go to Europe. And should I go to NPDA. And should I go to Africa next semester or the year after? Oh my. So many little thoughts and I’m you know. Eek. Who knows. I’m gonna decide about all of it based on my performance at USAFA. Hopefully LD goes like Ohio and NPDA goes like Webster. Then it’ll be a done deal.
