Schmeggles

I had to do an introduction speech today in my effective speaking class. It almost killed me! I figured that after a year of heading WDJM meetings I would be over all my social anxiety. Apparently not! But, the feedback I got was really good. People really liked how I showed the evolution of my relationship with music, some of my vulnerable stuff, and why I am passionate about WDJM. My speech didn't come out perfect word for word, but this is the closest I have to it.

( Here is the speech... )

You know what I don't understand? Whenever I have asked for WDJM access during vacation, I have been given unrestricted access. I could go in whenever I wanted, and get stuff done. But now, I am restricted to business hours. And not just business hours- my ID does not work. I have to go up to SILD and have them escort me to the station so that they can let me in. And they have to let me in EVERY SINGLE TIME. If I leave to go to the bathroom, the door locks. My resource person and I have been exchanging emails over it during the past hour. I do not understand why I should have unrestricted access, why it is just happening now, or why I can't just have access through my ID. I know for a fact that they can make it so an ID can access places between 8 AM and 5 PM. That is the least that I should be getting. I think it's insulting that the President of a club cannot access their own club space during the year. I've already proven myself to be a dedicated member of the station- why would I fuck around in there when I would be the only student in the building?


This shit is retarded.

holy shit the jason mraz homepage is messing with me so much right now. He has a voice thing on it now... it's hard for me to get used to right now.

i feel like there is this desperation to my every move. like my life is changing somehow and every single thing i do right now is crucial to that. when i get high on weed sometimes it gives me this feeling like as if my life were a movie and i were watching it. i think that right now i have a heightened version of that going on. continueing, did i spell that right??, with the jason mraz. i feel like he is right beside me singing. this is awesome.


_______________

im going to enjoy this.will post final thoughts later

from now on i am trying to type without ooking

oh failing.

listening to jason mraz good old fashioned lover boy and having a spectacular movie moment of him singing it to me. i now think all his music could be developed into a triumphant love musical

haha i just fell in love with him all over again.robot hands are back again tappity tapping away

I ended up taking the rest at nine because i got impatient. i didn't bother to see if i got high. its just now starting to get interesting, i feel like my hands are robotic. they operate because my mind is telling them what to type through telepathy. lights are definitely starting to play a part in it and whenever i shake my laptop i feel like im shaking everything visually. it's odd.

Listening to Jamiroquai, then some hot hot heat. wondering why my itunes isn't going by artist.

I'm in the middle of taking 1.8 grams of dried shrooms. I'm going to wait like an hour, and if nothing changes I'm going to take the other gram I have. (I have to keep it in my pocket because I can't trust my roommate not to try to talk me into giving it to him/possibly taking it himself and leaving me without a way to get higher). I'm not sure if these are good doses, which is why I divided them. I think I am going to try to document this all night. I found my charger for my camera, have a cord for it, and have headphones to listen to music on.

Things I am hoping for:
- soft visuals
- funny things
- deep thoughts
- some kind of personal insight
- listening to music with my great headphones drowning out everything else and really having a great music/drugs interaction at some point

I've never taken shrooms before and it seems like the effects depend on how much and what kind you take (as with everything else). I don't know what kind I have, and it is dry/ground up. I don't know if my expectations are too high, too low, or just right. I took the first bite @ 8:10 PM. Pics will be coming with posts and I will try to remember to write down things/keep posting.

This may get interesting! I really like the idea of keeping track of what happens in some way. Post will be edited with pics of the food I mixed the shrooms into in a bit, if i remember. If not, then tomorrow...

1 - Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to Random quotations: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

If you want to do this again, you'll hit refresh to generate new quotes, because clicking the quotes link again will just give you the same quotes over and over again.

3 - Go to flickr's "explore the last seven days" http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Put it all together, that's your debut album.

Introducing It Is In Us, the debut album from Sebastian Ingrosso
Photo found here because I'm lazy

We got a kitten! And thankfully, I now have a cord for my camera so I can upload pics (relatively) easily. Now that I can do that I feel like I can start updating even more. I think it's kind of hard to really relate to someones LJ unless it is really interesting, and I feel like it's the same with everyone else. Peach and I had a lil mini photo shoot while she was attempting to nap, and some of them came out really great. So, here are some pics of Peach!

"Eco-Friendly Coffins?"
I may be (partially) wrong about this but when you are properly buried, aren't you also placed in a concrete box as well? At least, that is what happened when my father died. His coffin was lowered into a concrete box and after everyone left the put the concrete cover on it and then put dirt over it. If this is the custom everywhere, then why would this matter?

Either way, I think it's kind of ridiculous. Why does it have to be cardboard? Can't it be untreated wood or something a little less "trashy"? (Pardon the pun)

Even though I'm still just a lil miffed that the store chain shut down and I lost a good job, I gotta admit that I love this Discovery channel commercial. It really is quite fun to watch. Whoever thought of it deserves a lot of kudos.

Oh God, I just got back from the . And now, Lisa is peer pressuring me to go back. Jesus Christ, they're gonna think I'm such an alcoholic.


And yet, still I go!

I have to get up at 5:30 AM three days a week now. It is -slowly- getting better trying to be up this early. In fact, the past two days I have woken up at 4:30! I still need to straighten my hair, and then leave for work hoping I can find an open Dunkin' Donuts.

It's a good thing I like my job, even if I do need to find a second one over the summer so I have some extra cash money!

Yesterday I went biking for the first time in the better part of a decade. I only did 2.7 miles, which kind of sucks that I did so little, but seriously it was my first time and it was hot out! I'm definitely out of shape right now, but hopefully that will change by the end of the summer! It was awkward biking for the first time in so long, but by the end it was feeling pretty natural again. Also, I think the seat bruised my butt. Ouch. Oh the pains of being a fatty! I want to try to bike every day, but I need to find a time when it isn't terribly hot out. I'm thinking late afternoon, like 6-ish. My goal is to begin biking to school so I can get station stuff done, which is just under 6 miles away. I've mapped a local Natick route that I can do for a week or so to get myself ready for it. The other great thing about this is that it will totally save me on gas!

Also, I have a full force crush on Kevin Pereira of G4's Attack of the Show! 'fame'. I love watching AOTS!, Kevin and Olivia crack me up. And I would totally have Kevins babies.

Your Debut Album


And the debut album from ETA's 2006 Ceasefire Declaration... The Deeds of Another! That's actually a pretty kick ass title.

And the album:

Can be found here!

I love my new schedule at work. I'll be sad when school starts in September, because that means it will be different. For now though, I am once again doing money at work! I actually really love doing money, it has a calming effect on me. This probably has to do with the fact that it is something many store do at night, so if you get in the habit of doing it you know the night is over and you can relax. TCS does it in the morning, but it's still nice because I get to spend a little over an hour just getting the money sorted out. It's a nice way to start the day.

I'm so incredibly excited about WDJM this year. I'm going to spend the summer getting things ready, cleaning the station, and training the officers. I have to make sure that by the time I leave in May, WDJM is fully functionl and every position has clear responsibilities and expectations. I start back at the station next week!

Also: going public again! If something needs to be an F/O post, I'll just do it then.
