But let us not forget the wonder and glory of the comic book.
I like to write things in my notebook and drink coffee and play music, and that's all.
oh, and I like it when it isn't too painfully hot outside. Also, I'm slightly obsessed with tennis, but in a sexy way. I'm sure there are other things I'm obsessed with that we could talk about. Like cheese.
Dislikes include- shirts that get shrunk in the dryer, rugby, having cracked ribs, tuning guitars, phil collins, dryers that shrink my shirts, waiting for illegal downloads to finish downloading, old people, going to the bar when I'm broke, and when Taco Bell fucks my order up. They're gonna pay. Is it so wrong that I don't like sour cream? C'MON! Karma will get you eventually, Taco Bell.
S'okay cuz...I've been a hermit too lately, I think it's the change in weather, and the fact that I have a fireplace-it makes me want to staay indoors...I found our other cuz too, or rather he found me. Small world on this here interwebs!
a big group of people from Elephant 6 are playing a handful of "surprise" holiday shows in october. They're coming to both bloomington and Lexington. so... we should get out own group together, get a van, and get down to one of those shows. What do ya' say? You in?
