introducing my 2nd year roommate, michelle. crazy yet totally awesome. : ] loves pokemon, singing, & forgetting ppl's names. (okay so she doesn't love the last one)
meet my new neighbors: abbey and annie also known as primate-sloth-among-other-random-shiz-loving girl and her normal roommate. : ] met abby at the door and the rest, as they say, is history. or the present.
my first newbury comics free show aka my last newbury comics free show. (unless it's someone really really really really really worth it and i wasn't going to see them in concert later that day.) jenny & johnny (jenny lewis from rilo kiley) went w/ my new concert buddy, erica, waited on line outside for 2 hours, stood in a really poorly configured room for a show, and proceeded to watch the 15 minute set behind a little girl who was sitting on someone's shoulders. -.- luckily i'm not that big of a fan of jenny's or else that girl would be down. for sure. (just saying, i wouldn't actually knock her down.)
finally made it to the SoWa market in south end. (i make it sound like i've been determined to go to this for years now when in reality i've only known of it for one. ha!) after a couple twists and turns, natasha and i made it and at first were like eh? farmer's market? and then followed the crowd and found the art. the expensive but awesome art. wanted a whale plushie but that was $25. ouch. one day, one day.
off to the zoo we go! abbey had to go to the franklin park zoo for her bio anthro class and so what did i do? i tagged along of course. adventure time! we legitimately watched the gorillas for 2 hours. and i probably could have watched them for another.
& their fingers must be insanely strong. and their feet?! i could stare at them forever. soooo weiiirdddly awesome..
& on the way back to the T, we found Jack. he is our shrine.
first show of the year! born ruffians @ middle east. and first encounter of the biggest douchebag in my short life! i punched his fat back. outside that mess, born ruffians. ohmycheese. they are so great live. like so great. (that made me sound so intelligent..) the drummer is so awesome w/ his funky beats, and luke is so dreamy.. haha would definitely see them again. met the drummer, awesome dude. tried to pick up the fangirl in front of me w/ the pick-up line, "you have amazing eyes." haha
2nd show just two days afterwards : D love. anywho, Ra Ra Riot @ Royale (very nyc/clubby venue, reminded me of a smaller webster) Ra Ra Riot finally played new songs (not that I mind the Rhumb Line songs). so great per usual. i for some odd reason or another like the 2nd photo.
&! FINALLY MET SOMEONE FROM RA RA RIOT. Wes : D and he signed my record. i wish i had more substantial things to say to these musicians than just 'you're awesome!' haha.. but at least it's true.
PB & J night : ]. that's coded if you couldn't figure that out. haha twas fun and chill. that thing tesla is ahh-ing from (twss. haha and pun. i rule) is the sperm-looking breadstick we found in the papajohn's box. someone had a dirty mind while making it.. (or the customer does..cough)thus back to midterm studying. must start posting more photos. must take more photos. must go on more excursions. not in that order. but all musts.
til next time.
