it must be hormonal...

well, last night i found out that waking up early + homework and school all day + beer and wine...don't = a headache for this weatherboy...it just equals me falling asleep around 10. i was a tuckered out little trooper last night.

anyways, something happened in class the other day that made me want to come on here and rant a little, so please allow me to paint the picture...

we were all supposed to bring in artifacts from different cultures and stuff and tell about our interest in our artifact and tell what we will bring to the social studies classroom. no big deal right? that's my major after all. SO, my artifacts are a viking sword and a few of my books on nirvana and kurt cobain, cause i like the music culture of seattle in the 90's (and now too). I begin telling everyone about my interest in music and one of the people in class, jokingly, asked me what i thought happened to kurt cobain. i've made my feelings known a few different times, but now was not the time to bring it up again, so i just kinda laughed it off and said i'm not sure...

NOW, here's the part that pisses me off! some of you might remember a girl in my program i refer to as 'greener' (guess where she went to school). greener grew up in olympia and SUPPOSEDLY knew all sorts of underground music people, she claims to KNOW the girls of sleater-kinney. anyways, she got all weird when the subject of kurts' death was brought up, like she knew something we all didn't or i was giving out secret information or something! ok, the thing that really bothers me is that she was at her seat going, "ummm, yeah...uh...anyways..'weatherboy'...stop!" like i was saying something that was either offending her, or scaring her. like someone was going to come and get me for saying something like that out loud within a hundred miles of olympia. see, according to greener, lots of people who still live in olympia and run in the underground music circles knew kurt cobain and will get really mad if you say ANYTHING negitive about him or say something that might be viewed in a bad way. she stopped me from talking about him the same way, but with a lot more urgency, a few months ago when we were just out walking around downtown oly. LIKE SOMEONE WAS GOING TO HEAR ME AND COME AND KICK MY ASS FOR TALKING ABOUT A GUY WHO IS DEAD! and hey, i'm sorry if i would offend anyone, but kurt DIDN'T LIKE the underground music scene in oly that much! They're a bunch of elitist assholes down here! some of the people in this "indie, underground" scene think that they are the real artists of the world and the rest all all just posers. It just bothers me that people would act like that, telling someone not to talk about something that is really not that big of a deal in ANY WAY. i can understand why people who knew kurt wouldn't want anyone saying anything bad about them, but for greener to be so lame and paranoid, like she is guarding something so sacred, it just comes off seeming really stupid and oversensitive...especially coming from someone who embraces a music culture that DOES have some good talent, but can't get over themselves...

Anyways, greener never seems to miss a chance to annoy, that's why i've kind of stopped hanging out with her and her husband. not like i did that much anyways.

give me the kindhearted kids that i know are good people up there in seattle any day. i still like oly, it's great...but it needs to get over itself.

ok, so i've ranted, and i still don't know what i'm really talking about. but, i'm glad that i got that out. i'm gonna go and clean for a while.

i hope i can see some of you kids in seattle tonight! if you haven't got the invitation...consider yourself invited!

talk to you all later!!
