Cause That's The Way I Want To Live

"You know that, I know that you're watching me"
Yeah...so I did post here about a week ago but decided to erase my post. To those who saw it, good for you...you got to see a bad day in word form. To those who didn't, consider yourself lucky.
So I took a bunch of people down to Baltimore to see Ben Folds and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. I can sum it up in one word: HOLYMOTHERFUCKINGSHIT. Yes, that is one fucking word because it is the only way to convey the awesomeness of the concert. Ok, so the percussion in the symphony blew and the conductor was an idiot...but other than that it sounded pretty fucking cool. The whole setup worked better with slower songs such as Smoke and Evaporated but One Angry Dwarf and most of The Ascent of Stan was quite good( fucking cowbell though...god damn he sucked). The personal highlight of the night was Narcolepsy because it is my favorite Ben Folds song( ok, it flips between that and Don't Change Your Plans). The encore was a little bit of a letdown though, even if The Luckiest was a pretty good arrangement. Then after the concert we waited outside because we are nerds like that and met Ben, I use met in a loose way though because he really just signed a few things for us and then had a bunch of people mob him. It was overall a fantastic experience...including the sweet ass hotel suite which was larger than I could have imagined. Pleasant surprise: I didn't have to sleep on the floor! I instead slept with Emily(you heard me right).
Since the concert things have been going pretty well, I skipped a class because it was a pointless session in which he had no lesson plan. In the place of class I hit up the mall with Liz, Erica and John for scientific purposes...and to buy shit. Got most of my family Christmas shopping done with the exception of my father, who never wants anything and is a real dick when it comes to buying presants for. I still have to figure out gifts for friends, which should just about empty my bank account in a good way.
Seeing a Ranger game Saturday afternoon with Ian, Stiffy and Mr.Stiff...which should be awesome. Granted it is against Carolina, who we just lost to tonight...but dammit I think we can beat them on saturday.
That is about all I can think to say, so I will see people for Thanksgiving.
Song of The Day: Sufjan Stevens- They Are Night Zombies!!They Are Neighbors!!They Have Come Back From The Dead!!Ahhhh!

My father is a dick for buying presents for as well. "Dad, what do you want?" "I already have everything I want" (Preface this with the fact that my parents get angry if I don't get them anything for a major holiday that they get something for me).. "You really need to tell me.. I'm out of ideas" "You always pick out good presents" "Because you eventually tell me what you want" "Maybe you should ask your mother"

Hahaha, all fathers are EXACTLY the same with respect to presents. Mine always says one of two things: nothing or a million bucks. He ends up getting boxes of chocolate, ties, and lottery tickets, repetatively. Btw, I don't think I know Narcolepsy or Don't Change Your Plans. Do you think you could send them to me over im sometime? Sounds like a good time at Ben Folds! I'll see ya soon! -B
