I feel so tall around here.

It's a weird assortment of people here at Central.

For some reason I was half expecting there to be hot guys everywhere... or at least more so than in the Tri cities, but really, there does not seem to be. There really isn't anyone here that I've been attracted to aside from Jason. To be honest I've been more keeping my eyes on girls to make friends that I can go out with on the weekends. That will all come in time. I did meet this one really sweet girl today named Dannah. She comes from Bellingham and she's in my business law class. Maybe we'll stick this out together! Both of us take this really seriously and have similar goals. She's really blonde and pretty.

But yeah.... guys here, I'm sorry to say, lots and lots of short, skinny guys... I don't really know what it is around here, I actually feel tall lately because I'm towering over a lot of guys that I see. Jason's 6'4 so he makes me feel petite. I like our body height differences. I think he's really attractive in a lot of ways and I realize this a lot more now that we're spending time together here. Sometimes his responses are a little cold and indirect, like he'll ask me how my day went... I'll tell him a brief overview and he won't respond about THAT at all, he'll only respond about himself. It'd be nice if he'd recognize what I have to say a little bit. You know, maybe instead of bitching about it I should just be mature and tell him about it. That way he'll know it's bothering me.

There are some cute guys in my accounting class.

Oh that reminds me. HELL-o! Classes started today! I'm happy to say that I like all of my professors, all of which are men this quarter so that's always a plus. My accounting professor liked me immediately, he seemed pretty cool and I like that all of the assignments will be pencil-paper. Managerial accounting is already looking like a fun class, I met another girl in there named Natasha who seemed pretty cool as well. See, first day, BAM! Two new acquaintances! I am definitely making an effort to meet people.

But making an effort to go out? Meh. I went to my classes, came back and did my homework. I wasn't able to get into the math program so I think I'm just gonna jam for the next hour or so and go to bed. I'll probably do a lot more studying tomorrow but I only have ONE class... That's the thing about this quarter, if I am able to manage my time right on my days off there's no excuse for me not to do exceptionally well in all of these classes.

peace.

Losing your identity and starting a new?

I'm really not a fan of hipsters.

One reason that I choose not to accessorize too much is because I don't want to associated with these people.

Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter.

The Hipster subculture is certainly more bearable than others such as the rave/candy kids that grew out of the now almost completely dead "Scene" phase. I've been friends with some hipsters, but most of them that I've met have been really lazy. Like they've got an attitude like they're too cool to work unless it's at some coffeeshop or bookstore for a few hours a week. 

Yeah, not a hipster. Makes me happy I'm not going to Bellingham, these people would have pissed me off.

Blegh. When this becomes a known trend of my time, I can say here and now that I was never a part of it.

I don't really have a concrete look or subculture that I belong in, though I do seek the approval of other musicians. I think all musicians do, it's really important because there's no better judge of your playing than someone that's more skilled than you. It's also fun to of course be better than the next guy, so that approval is also a plus. Hipsters must get approval from other hipsters on how thrifty they look. 

I've never followed any clothing trends necessarily or tried to be something I'm not for an extended amount of time. I feel like these kids that get really into different scenes end up losing a big piece of their identity once the scene ends or goes out of style. I personally would never want something that I identify with to "die," it would be horrifying, especially if you take it really seriously and felt accepted by the other people following the trend. 

There are still stragglers to the scene trend, like this girl. 

I think Scene pretty much ended when MySpace did back in 2008. 

Gonna play guitar until me and tyler hang out.

peace. 

Rave kids, oh my! ~10~

I don't know, I tend to see these same people in the same pictures all the time. This guy Jesse Ex Valentine or something that wanted to come and DJ at my Japanese club party and invited a ton of people that I didn't even know. I bitched him out, blocked him, and he probably wouldn't recognize me if I saw him. But I know I pretty much don't like him because of the situation. And it still kind of bothers me that there could of been a possibility that my party would of been ruined by a bunch of people I don't know. They probably would of been complete assholes saying that there's no alcohol or whatever.

I have no idea what that is with the blue hair. I'm pretty sure it's female, explaining something very matter-of-factly. I wonder if that's a wig or if her hair is actually dyed blue. She must of just freshly dyed it if it is that color of blue, because actual blue hair like that fades out ridiculously fast and looks like garbage. Her eyebrows are blue too. I wonder what she's trying to pull off there?

That's another thing. Why does it seem like girls are purposefully making themselves look like shit here in the tri-cities? They'll look nice and then suddenly they decide to do something crazy like guage huge holes in their ears, fry their hair with some disgusting dye,... yeah.

Maybe I'm being too negative. I talked to this guy Brier on the phone last night for like an hour about how he just had this need to get out of the tri cities like I do right now, and once he got out and moved up to Bellingham with his girlfriend he absolutely loved it. He did say, however, that when things got way to serious with him and his girlfriend, he sort of regretted living with her like that. I was joking around saying that it was probably like they were playing "house," her cooking them dinner, etc etc. I also said that I bet she prepared some really disgusting watered down speghetti with Prego sauce. It was the funniest conversation ever. I really like talking to him even if he lives all the way up in Bellingham. I hate long distance shit, but there's nothing really going on here so it doesn't bother me.

Ahh, well, better play for awhile, do pilates, put the wet laundry into the dryer, maybe play a little sims. Whatever I feel like doing until tomorrow, cause it's gonna be a hellish long week.

yours,

Emily
