my right ear seems to be constantly plugged up from being sick. do you know how annoying that is? no longer can i distinguish from whence a particular sound comes for my right ear cannot hear as well as the left. yeah, i just felt like saying "from whence." shut up.

thursday night was anthony's big bday shindig. good fun. that boy can drink =) after sake-bombing at miyake's, i should have gone up to SF with anthony and some of his friends to continue the festivities, but no, i went to hang out with alex rosten like a good friend. and he makes me watch the ring! bastard. hate you. had to drive back to fremont by myself too =P

then went up to reno for a bit this weekend. yay i can gamble. only carded once though [because deb and i were with tim who looks like a 14-year-old =D]...maybe i look older than i thought. boo. no fun. yeah, gambling's not my thing. deb's boy and tam were occasionally successful in raping the roulette table, but i have absolutely no luck with anything. it's like handing my money to the casino, saying, "yes, take my hard-earned cash! here, i will fold it up all pretty-like for you, and will get nothing in return except the pangs of loss and failure, enough second-hand smoke to kill a llama, and a couple complimentary drinks that i should tip you for anyway!" won a nice garden of plush flowers at circus circus though. woohoo! skeeball! i'm still such a kid. who cares about being 21? reno was only good for skeeball, the camel race game, and all-you-can-eat seafood buffet. mmm. murdered those crab legs.

back to school tomorrow. i'm scared. and unprepared. at least i rhyme.

"Temptation Waits" -Garbage

i'll tell you something
i am a wolf but
i like to wear sheep's clothing
i am a bonfire
i am a vampire
i'm waiting for my moment

you come on like a drug
i just can't get enough
i'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
and there's so much at stake
i can't afford to waste
i never needed anybody like this before

i'll tell you something
i am a demon
some say my biggest weakness
i have my reasons
call it my defense
be careful what you're wishing

you come on like a drug
i just can't get enough
i'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
and there's so much at stake
i can't afford to waste
i never needed anybody like this before

you are a secret
i need possession
i like to keep you guessing

you come on like a drug
i just can't get enough
i'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
and there's so much at stake
i can't afford to waste
i never needed anybody like this before

when i'm not sure what i'm living for
(when i'm not sure who i am)
when i'm not sure what i'm looking for
(when I'm not sure who i am)
