Fuck you Paul McCartney.

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.

My friends were talking about Secret Santas the other day and it reminded me how much I like Secret Santas!
When me and my friends first moved to Oakland, we decided to be each others' Secret Santas.
Out of the 6 of us, Kayla and Nate were the only ones who did it.
I had Erica and I really wanted to make her a diorama but I didn't have a shoebox.

Kayla made me some really cool pictures.
I have no idea who Nate had, but for his present he bought a copy of "The Goonies" on VHS for $5.

"The Goonies".
On VHS.
For five dollars.

Nate.

September 30: Casbah, San Diego CA.
Quite a fine way to start things off.
Sarah from Hardly Art happened to be in Beverly Hills fancily dining with some old friends and offered to give me a ride to the train station. How nice!
I missed the train I wanted to catch due to traffic issues.
I bought another ticket thinking I needed a new one for the train I intended to take.
A nice man told me I didn't need to do that.
I sat in one of those 4-way seating areas on the train with an old grandma, her GD, and a nice lady whose boyfriend was in a band that played with Crocodiles one time so she was impressed by the reason I was going to San Diego.
I knew it would be awkward sitting in a seat like that, but I hate it when they go to waste, and the little girl had invited me!
It was a fairly fun trip. Although I usually prefer to sit there in silence.
Anyway, the show was pretty fun. My cousin Susie picked me up and dropped me off.
There were lots of "technical issues" and I messed up a lot.
But it made me laugh very much every time there was a huge blast of feedback during Crocodiles's set. And it made me feel better about how shitty my set was.
I met everyone who was coming on the tour with us.
It was a really good show. But I knew almost no one there!
My cousin Susie picked me up and I got to stay at her new apartment with her and her new puppy.

October 1: Casbah, San Diego CA.
This show was fun. I was a lot less nervous than the previous night so I didn't mess up as much. I knew more people this time. I can't remember if it was this night or the night before, but I met a pair of twins who had a band together and I asked them if they were The Proclaimers because they looked like The Proclaimers. But they were not.

October 2: Detroit Bar, Costa Mesa CA.
Crocodiles picked me up at my cousin's home and we went to Costa Mesa, which I had never been to before. The venue we played at was pretty spacious despite being in a plaza, and had a lot of really cushiony benches which I really liked. Everyone at this show was really weird, didn't seem to know anything about any of the bands that played, and didn't even appear to listen to music that much (like me). It was weird! They also LOVED to buy merch, and at one point when I sat behind the merch table to simply rest and perhaps sell some of MY merch, they overwhelmed me and I had to go away! Anyway, after the show, everyone was heading back to L.A. and the roadie type dude for Dum Dum Girls was somehow coerced into giving me a ride back to West L.A. He asked me how I felt about gangsta rap and I said I felt fine so we listened to Trill Ville and Wiz Khalifa. We smoked a joint as well. Anddd I got to sleep in my bed.

October 3: Troubadour, Los Angeles CA.
I walked to the grocery store and got a sandwich, some chips, and a Neuro Bliss drink. It was a pretty color and tasted good.
Then later my brother Ryan drove me to the show which is pretty close to where we live in West Los Angeles.
I messed up on a couple of the songs. I was really nervous. I also don't think I practiced one of my new songs enough before deciding to play it every night on tour.
Anyway, my brother and a bunch of his friends came so that was nice. The venue was cool. Someone wearing a Pixies shirt knew the Damone song I played.
After the show it became clear that I would not be able to stay at my house again, so my brother drove me back to my house to get my stuff, and then back to the Troubadour where Chuck from Crocodiles was waiting to give me a ride to Sandy from DDG's house in Echo Park.
I slept on the couch and it was very nice.
Sandy's house is really really cool.
She gave me green tea the next morning!

October 4: Great American Music Hall, San Francisco CA.
We got up fairly early and drove to San Francisco. The venue we played at is an old theatre and is huge and amazing. I can't believe I played a show there. We all had our own dressing rooms and everyone who worked there was really, really nice. I was looking forward to the free meal which turned out to be some type of fish, brussels sprouts, beans and rice, and a salad. It was not exactly what I was hoping for but I ate it because I was really, really hungry. It was sort of good actually. There were fancy sodas in my dressing room. I tried to nap on one of the couches because I didn't feel good. It didn't really work though. Erica, her boyfriend Jake, and Kayla came! It was so nice to get to hang out with them. The show was fun. I played a pretty ok set. We all smoked weed and made chit chat. I stayed at Erica's after and it ruled. She made macaroni and cheese. I miss them so much.

October 5: The Blank Club, San Jose CA.
Went to breakfast at Lynn and Lu's in Oakland with Kayla and Erica because we love that place. I have no idea what I got. Probably like fruit, eggs, and toast is what I am thinking. And coffee even though I am trying to cut down.
We hung around and it was super fun and awesome.
Kayla told me a secret that made me very upset for many days to come.
I got picked up from Erica's and we went to San Leandro to meet up with everyone else. Then we drove to San Jose! This was a fun show. The backstage area was nice and we smoked a lot of weed. There were also veggies and dip. The show was pretty good. I forgot to play one of my new songs. I was really stoned. All the bands sounded really good though, duh. A boy I used to know a little in Boston who now lives in San Jose was there and we smoked a HUGE joint after my set. Jules and her bf Brent were going back to Oakland after the show and said they'd give me a ride, but I'd hafta go with them first to a bar where they were meeting with friends. I thought that was ok. The bar was terrible and there were terrible people there. Then we went to someone's house in San Jose were the terrible people got worse but at least there was a tiny bit of free coke.
We got back to Oakland around 5 and I was astonished that Brent stayed awake that long! Good job buddy!
I went back to Erica's but she was at Jake's and had locked her back door which is always open! No! But it was ok. I broke in through Dan's old bedroom window.

October 6: Drive to Portland.
On this day we drove to Portland.

October 7: The Doug Fir, Portland OR.
We woke up in Portland and Sandy and I decided to walk around. We went to Stumptown and got some coffee and bagels. We went to the record store that Bob D works at, saw Bob D, went to American Apparel where I bought a really cool dress, and went to Voodoo Donuts. Then we went to the Jupiter Hotel which the Doug Fir is a part of. Other peeps were there hanging about. We got free food. I ate a TURKEY caesar salad (have you ever??) and worried that eating it might make me fall asleep. The show was pretty good. The Doug Fir is really cool. Bob came to the show and gave me a weed chocolate chip cookie which was delectable. We stayed at the Jupiter Hotel.

October 8: The Electric Owl, Vancouver BC.
We drove to Vancouver and it was my first time in the city! I saw a place where people go to get clean needles and a lot of them were sitting on the ground with needles in their arms. I've seen some things, but never a clinic just like that before. Anyway I thought Vancouver was cool. I was definitely sick by this point and was feeling pretty low. My throat was sore. Shouldn'ta smoked weed with that one guy. But anyway, Ruben and Lacey and Sarah came to the show! It was awesome to see them. After I played they took me to this other hotel where the Jacuzzi Boys were playing and they were all staying. It was tiiiiiight and all the rooms were all old and different. There was also a weird dance party/wedding reception going on in a couple of the lobby rooms, it was awesome. And the Jacuzzi Boys gave me free pizza! Then we stayed at a hotel in Bellingham WA.

October 9: Neumo's, Seattle WA.
We drove to Seattle. We drove to our hotel. We went to Whole Foods. I got a turkey sandwich and an apple and some green tea. The venue was really big and plain. The downstairs area was really cool though. They had arcade games and a big room where I could watch Wayne's World and eat my sandwich. The show was ok. I was really sick at that point. They always put really bright spotlights on me for some reason and I don't like it. This night was no exception. I asked if they could make it go away but I think they thought I was kidding or maybe they didn't understand my mumblings. But they eventually complied.
Anyway, this show was fun. Ruben and Lacey and Sarah were there. I got drugs. Etc.
We went back to the hotel and I went to sleep.

October 10: Nothing!
I got up and was still very sick so I walked to the drug store to get cold medicine. I got some and I got a little bottle of orange juice as well which I really needed. I sat in the lobby of the hotel for a long time and drank it.
We went to breakfast at a place called Local 360 or something. It was ok. I got a scrambled egg and an english muffin. It was cool that everything was like "natural" and all or whatever but like the jam on my muffin wasn't nearly sugary enough. It didn't taste like anything! It was pretty good though. Marco and I blazed beforehand and a really crazy methed out dude talked to us on the street for a really long time at a very rapid pace. He was funny!
We paid a visit to Sub Pop HQ and I got to hang around in the Hardly Art office for a spell where I proceeded to break down in tears in front of Rube and Sarah and the new guy because of things going on in my personal life that I don't know how to handle. It sucked! I am sorry you guys, if you are reading this, I know it's scary and uncomfortable when someone just up and does that, but...I couldn't help it.
Anyway, I got to play with Chuy Pancakes a bit and it was overall a fun visit.
Then we set off for our 2 day trip to St. Paul, MN.
I have no idea where we stayed this night. I guess it was somewhere in Montana. But who knows?

October 11 - Still nothing!
We drove and drove and drove (well, Dum Dum Girls' tour managers did all the driving and I sat and looked out the window and slept.) and eventually stayed in Jamestown, ND I think. We had a crazy hotel with a bunch of sports-themed rooms, an indoor pool, and an arcade! I tried my hand at the claw machine, but it ate my money, and then I played again and I didn't win. I got my money back though.

October 12 - St. Paul, MN.
We drove more and finally got to St. Paul. I had never been there before. The Turf Club was pretty cool. I ate some delicious Thai food and got a really old cool book which I gave to my boyfriend. It is a long poem about a party in the 20s or something that gets "out of hand". I played a song for Radio K in the back of their station wagon while they filmed it. The show was good. Chuck said that Paddy from D4 was there! I didn't see him though. I lost all of my t shirts. I lost the keys to the Crocodiles van and I was supposed to drive them home and everyone got mad at me and I got upset, but they were just in the other car which came back swiftly. We stayed at a Best Western or something and I had a full on panic attack in the bathroom on the main floor. Then I went up to the room and told the other girls about everything that has been on my mind and they consoled me. They are really nice.

October 13: High Noon Saloon, Madison WI.
We got to Madison sort of early ish and some of the girls decided to go "downtown" so I went along. I walked around some sort of cool closed street with a lot of shops and stuff on it. I got some new socks at URBN. Then we went back to the venue. Me, Sandy and Robin went to this restaurant next door where some type of office party was occurring and stole our fill of veggies and weird pizza. Back at the venue I coughed so hard I puked. Then I smoked weed and felt 100% better though. I played and it was ok. I went to a DIFFERENT restaurant next door and got some french fries. I ate some of them there. Apparently there was some sort of big college sports game going on. Then I ate more of them at the merch table while Crocodiles played. I asked for a ginger ale, but they only had ginger beer. But that was ok. Then I went to an upstairs balcony and sat and txted my boyfriend and tried to nap as the show went on. Eventually a man came and asked me if I was ok because the show was over and everyone was gone. And I was like, "uhh, yeah" and he was like, "good set tonight btw".
I was very tired.
Although, I think this was the night where our hotel ended up having a 24 hour hot tub and pool so more of us than I expected went in the hot tub and ate pizza and some kid was in there just sittin' and playing songs on an acoustic guitar. He seemed young and completely unfazed by how drunk and boisterous everyone was, they were shouting things at him, like all the wrong words, and he just kept onnn a playin.

October 14: The Empty Bottle, Chicago IL.
We drove to Chicago. We ate at a place next to the venue called Bite. I got breakfast tacos and they were gooooood. I was to play an in store at Permanent Records, so a nice man named Bill who works there came to the venue to pick me up. Bill runs a cool label called Trouble in Mind so I got a few cool CDs which I eventually left in the DDG's suburban. The nice folks at Permanent gave me grapes and a free t shirt which I promptly sported. There were about 7 people there including my buddies Brent and Chris. Since there were so few people there I decided to attempt playing "Burnin' for You" by Blue Oyster Cult. It turned out pretty good and I ended up playing it at every subsequent show. Big hit. After I played, the three of us tried to make it to an in store the DDs were playing at Reckless Records, but we juuust missed them. I got King Tubby - "King of Dub" and then I went outside and puked on the sidewalk. I hope no one saw! But I'm pretty sure the like 10 people who were standing right there most likely saw. I was discreet though.
Then we went to Brent's new place and smoked weed and listened to some music.
Then we went to Burger King and I ate a delicious cheeseburger.
Then we went to the show at the Empty Bottle.
It was really fun.
Everyone there was really nice, especially one girl who was a nurse and drove all the way from Champaign to see me and had just been to an apple orchard and brought a fresh delicious appley donut for me and gave me a bunch of money too! That was awesome.
What a great show, and fun night overall.
I think this was the night where we went to our hotel and the tour manager almost got in a fight with the security guard because no one was at the front desk and the guard wouldn't find the person in charge, he just wanted to watch Law and Order. I sat on the couch with him for a spell after stuff really started to hit the fan, and he actually told me that his ONLY job was to make sure people don't steal stuff from the little shit mart they have next to the front desk. This was funny to me because there were like 8-9 of us in this group and we ALL stole stuff from the store. I got some vanilla ice cream.
Come to find out this was the wrong hotel and the one we were actually staying in was like 50 feet away from it.
I stayed in a room with Robin and Anna from Crocodiles and they had a big bed and I slept on a pull out couch thing. It was cool, but I didn't get very much sleep because I had done a TINY bit of coke at the show.
Stupid.
I just wanted to sleep!

October 15: The Magic Stick, Detroit MI.
I woke up and had missed the continental breakfast, but the nice ladies at the hotel gave me some milk and cereal anyway. I ate frosted flakes. SO good. I pulled this stunt the previous morning as well.
Then we drove to Detroit. The Magic Stick was pretty cool. My friend Auchie and his girlfriend came and we all ate free pizza and I also ate some really delicious free cookies. Auchie gave me a weed brownie and it was the kind that also has chocolate chips in it. YUM. This show was ok except for the fact that the sound guy turned on the house music after I had played like 2 songs. I had said into the microphone something along the lines of, "My name is Colleen Green and I am going to play more songs now!" but what he THOUGHT i said was "Jay, I'm all done now!" Then he thought I walked off stage and he actually turned off my amp. I was like, "YO, what the fuck is going on?" I thought they were cutting me off! But he was just on tons of drugs or something.
After the show I realized I couldn't bring my bowl into Canada so I trusted one of the nice bartenders there to mail mine to me in Boston. I hope he actually does it! He didn't seem nearly as fucked up as all the other people that were working there.
We drove across the border and stayed in Windsor, Ontario. The next morning brought me the most delicious bagel I've ever had at a place called Country Deli!
It was just so fucking soft.

October 16: Lee's Palace, Toronto ONT.
We drove to Toronto. The outside of Lee's Palace has a really cool colorful mural thing painted on it. I liked it. The venue was big. I tried to chat with my boyfriend online when we got there but it was really annoying. Then me, Jules, and Sandy walked to some Chinese restaurant and it turned out to be really far away. But it was okay because Toronto is really cool and I got to see a very tiny bit of it. One thing that I didn't really like about this tour was that we had no time to see the cities in which we played. For the most part, we were in the car or at the venue or at the hotel. But I get it. Anyway we got to see a bit, and then it started raining so we took a cab back to Lee's. There were good snacks. I got candy bars at the store next door to save for later. My set sounded good I guess. I sold out of the rest of my merch. After two upstanding citizens smoked me up on the street outside, I ate my candy bars. Then we stayed at some hotel.

October 17: Il Motore, Montreal QC.
This night was fun! The venue seemed to be in a pretty shitty part of town, and out of the way, but luckily there was a soup store right next door, which a lot of us patronized. They had REALLY good soup! and I don't even like soup. But it was fucking delicious. And Sandy gave me some of her bread. The Jacuzzi Boys came to our show and that was fun. My friend Yannick came to the show and I walked with him to get samosas which was a bad idea cuz it was really cold and sort of raining and I was not properly dressed. But we made it back eventually. We smoked a lot of weed. The show was ok. There were technical difficulties during my set including one extremely loud noise which caused people to think many different things, for example:
-That a glass had shattered
-That the speakers were exploding
-and all sorts of stuff

I didn't know what the fuck was going on but I was very scared.
and it hurt as well. hurt my ears and head.

Anyway, we hung out blah blah blah, and then we went to the Days Inn in downtown Montreal where we were staying. Then Yannick brought a bunch of us to an all night burger joint where I wanted to get a cheeseburger AND a pogo, but I settled for just a cheeseburger and a red KIRI drink. It was so fucking good.
Also this place had a claw machine and after one look at it I just knew I could win. And I did! I won an extremely cute seal AND a baseball cap with both the Monster energy drink and Fox racing logos on it. I gave the seal to my boyfriend. I had been wanting to win him something in the claw machine, although, it would have been better if he was there.
Anyway.
The rest of them tried to go to an "after hours" place, and I went back to the hotel. I guess it turned out to be a sexy massage parlor or something though!

October 18: Return to MA.
It was very cold in Montreal and we walked around trying to find coffee and bagels. We eventually did and both were soooo good. We got sesame bagels at a bagel factory and I got a REAL mochaccino. YUM.
Then we left Montreal and headed to Boston. There was no show that night so we just drove and drove until we got to Watertown where my boyfriend picked me up! It was amazing! I got to hug him and kiss him and squeeze him and cuddle with him in bed and it felt soooooooo good.

October 19: The Paradise, Boston MA.
This show was really really good. I finally kicked my cold like the day before, SERIOUSLY. It was my friend Sean's birthday. It was my boyfriend's birthday at midnight. The backstage area of the Paradise is really big and cool. Complete with a washer and dryer! I got to hang out with my boyfriend all day and then play this rad show at night and hang out and smoke weed with a bunch of my friends. What more could a girl ask for?
This show was one of the best of the tour I think. The DDs plus Robin from Crocodiles sang back up vocals for me on "Worship You" which is the last song of my set. It was very special and sounded soooo GOOD! They are so cute.
Anyway, after the show I went back home with my boyfriend and I have been there ever since. Except for when we went to NYC for CMJ for a couple of days. That was super fun too. But now we relax forever.

I hope you enjoyed this dumb tour blog.
It was actually really fun!
Or "sooooo good", if you will.
OK!
Bye!

October Tour.

I'm going on tour today with Dum Dum Girls and Crocodiles and I am so nervous that I feel like I am going to die.

I We-Blog My Mind.

I've been back in L.A. since September 4.
I love L.A. and had been really missing it.
I don't know why I am blogging right now.
I have nothing to talk about at length.
Twitter is taking over.
I use it more now cuz I have a really short attention span and am wicked lazy.
It doesn't involve a computer.

I just wanted to tell all you guys that I "got drunk" one time over this summer.
I drank whiskey with my boyfriend because we were really bored and had nothing to do.
I didn't get that happy euphoric feeling that I remembered loving so much.
In fact, I got really sad and ended up crying a lot.
It had never been SO clear to me as it became that night how fucking shitty and stupid alcohol is.
It was probably the worst idea I've had in a long time.
Every time I do something dumb I hear Antoine's voice in my head.
"You are really dumb, you are-you are really dumb..."
It turns adults into babies, and that's what they want.
It turns cool normal people into pathetic fucking douchebags who cry and don't make ANY sense.

I always feel bad for getting annoyed when I'm 100% sober around a grip o' drunks, cuz there's really nothing wrong with it, I mean people gonna drink. There are only so many shows on TV. If I was drinking too I'm sure I would be fine with it or at least drunk enough not to notice or care.

But drunk people are SO. FUCKING. ANNOYING.
They get close to you and spit on your face when they talk cuz they have all this liquid in their mouth all night and they stink like alcohol and beer and it makes me wanna puke.
Playing shows at bars - not getting any funner.

I definitely felt pressure to drink over the summer because I was hanging out with people who drink regularly, every day, whereas before when I was living in L.A. I was completely removed from that type of situation, and it was really good for me.
Sometimes you have to just take yourself away from all the bullshit. Even though it is sad and hard, sometimes it's the best/only way.

It was really hard to not be like, "Oh, well, I guess if EVERYONE around me is drinking beers tonight, I mean, I guess, sure I'll have one" because otherwise I would feel left out. Even though it was my own choice. And blogging about it now, it REALLY doesn't seem like that tough of a decision. Almost every time I would say, "no thanks." (And if you say that enough, people will stop asking you!) But there was a time or two when I drank one just because, you know? To be honest I tried to drink a PBR at one point and had to throw it on the ground after one sip. I was even sitting in a pool! But I just couldn't do it. How'd I drink so many gallons of that stuff BITD?

Also it's like, well fuck, if everyone around me is gonna be drunk, and I am gonna have to be near them, there's no way I want to be sober!
Pills help.

When I was still living in Oakland but had already stopped drinking, I would just go to the parties and smoke myself out in a corner.
Not that party-tastic.

I really wish I could just be comfortable enough with myself and my personality to go to parties where everyone is drinking and feel ok, but I'm not there yet.
I'm doing better, but sometimes my own mind turns on me.
(Plus having to hang out with wasted people is really annoying.)

I could do one of two things.
1) Decide it's not that big of a deal and drink a beer if and when I deem it appropriate. (But obviously NEVER pay for it.)
2) Put my foot down and never drink a drop again.

I like the idea of the second option, but it seems so uptight.
Then again, I don't gotta justify my actions to no-bo-dy.


So I'm not sure what I'll do.
Everything is different when you're alone.

I have not blogged in a very long time. I apologize.
Sometimes I feel like I have stuff to talk about, but most times the act of typing up an entire blog entry seems very daunting to me and instead I just smoke a bunch of weed and fall asleep.
Speaking of which. You must give me a minute.

How much better that is. Why I ever attempt to blog un-stoned is a mystery to most.

So anyway.
I guess I will just tell you guys about some stuff. I am going to do it list-style because I like lists.

- I've been living in MA since April 4. Right now I live in Inman Square with my friends Capn Dan and Jen. Capn Dan is an old school homie of mine from Dracut, MA, and we were roommates in Allston in 2003 I think. He is a comedic and musical genius. Jen is a former member of GIRLFRIENDS, so we have lived together in a van before for one month. Jen is very sweet and smart, and speaks French! I am reading a children's book in French right now, and I need her help with some of the parts. The house though, in the book...it has its own thoughts.
Inman Square is a very very small and awesome neighborhood of Somerville/Cambridge MA which you must cross the Charles River to get to from Boston. Look at me, giving out directions and shit. That's probably not even right.

It is sorta weird because even though I'm not particularly social/outgoing, I still feel way better when I am living in the city. Whenever I am in Dunstable, I feel isolated and alone, and need to be in Boston because that's where my friends/"stuff" is. But then when I am in the city I do nothing all day and don't call anyone. Ha. I suck.

- I have health insurance now courtesy of Commonwealth Care. Thank you Massachusetts! I needed that.

- I had a job for like three weeks. A JOB!!! But I don't have it anymore. :( I'm sad. I liked it. I think they stopped calling me because I told them I didn't really want to work that much. But that was what I thought they were looking for in the first place! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

- I have been mostly hanging out with my friend B. Clark, who is the bloke who came on tour with us this March. We have been good friends for a long time. We went to the Museum of Fine Arts which I had never been to before. It was pretty cool but I got tired of walking around so we were not there for long. Mostly Brian and I like to smoke weed.

- I have a new boyfriend. He is the most adorable boy in the entire world. I like to hang out with, talk to, and look at him. That is all :)

- I really wanted to go see Girlfriends last night in Allston, but I ended up getting really high and falling asleep at 9 PM instead. I'm sorry!

- I have a new EP coming out on Art Fag Recordings called "Cujo". It is good!

- I have been playing a few shows here and there in Boston and New York. One of them was a very special acoustic show with Dee Dee from Dum Dum Girls, Brandon from Crocodiles, and Woven Bones. It was a really great show and I had a blast. I ended up driving instead of taking the bus cuz I'm a lazy piece of shit. I have never really driven a long distance by myself before, but it was fun. I smoked weed, ate snacks, and stopped WHENEVER I FELT LIKE IT. And it was silent for the most part.

Anyway, this show was funny because it was being touted as a REALLY SPECIAL STRIPPED DOWN ALL-ACOUSTIC SHOW! and at the risk of sounding like a turd, I noticed that the facebook event name was changed, on the day of the event, from just the names of the bands and maybe the word acoustic somewhere, to "Dum Dum Girls (Acoustic), Crocodiles (Acoustic), Woven Bones, Colleen Green".
And I was the only one who played acoustic!!!
Ha.
OK, well, Woven Bones did play acoustic instruments, but they had a full band.
Dee Dee and Brandon both played electric guitars.
Bless their adorable hearts.
My set was funny.
I used Andy Bones's acoustic/electric guitar and it kept sliding off of my shoulder. During the first song I played, which was "Marriage" by the Descendents, I kept having to stop and re-adjust the guitar and no one had any idea what was going on so they just clapped. And then I would continue playing that song I had just been playing.
I don't think I should be allowed in public most of the time.
After I "tamed the guitar strap" as some guy put it, things went a little more smoothly.
If I had just played a regular acoustic guitar and sat on a chair, things woulda been juuuuuust fine probably.
Oh well.
I also played "Sometimes" by Blink 182.
I really really REALLY wanted to play with just an acoustic guitar with no plugs or microphones or anything. But they would not let me. They said it would be way too quiet. But that is what I wanted. That place was just too big. Ain't my fault. Don't punish me please sir.

Another thing that made this show special (beside the fact that I did not wear sunglasses or any make up and had no bangs and wore my dirty nightgown) was that I saw my friend JOHNNY who is an old-school homie of mine from Boston and now apparently manages Glasslands!
It was so fun. I saw him, and thought it looked like Johnny at first, but he has a shaved head now, and didn't seem to know who I was, and no one was addressing him by name. BUT, I knew that Johnny now lived in Brooklyn and did "bar shit". Since I was by myself at the show I figured I didn't really have anything to lose so I went up and said JOHNNY! and it was HIM!!!!
We were very happy to see each other. He had been confused because he thought I was still in L.A. I mean, I don't blame him.
He gave me free drinks and even though I don't drink, I drank them because, how often do you get to see your friend from a bunch of years ago who you haven't seen in years and he is now managing a really dope venue in Brooklyn and you are now playing this really dope show at HIS venue. That is the funnest thing ever!
I didn't drink very much though, at all.
My friend Jay came to the show and I stayed with him after because that is where I usually stay when I am in Brooklyn.
Jay is the nicest and RULES! And he is always willing to hang out with you when you are in Brooklyn. He got a new couch and this was very exciting for me because his new couch is big and soft and before, he just had two really small couches that were not that comfortable. One like, wasn't even for sitting or laying on.
I woke up in the morning and smoked a bowl. It was really sunny and beautiful and it made me think of the summer when me and Kayla went to a bunch of Dillinger Four shows in Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. We took the buses and stayed with Jay in NY and it was one of the funnest things I've ever done.
I MISS THAT SHIT.

Well, I guess that is about it for now. It is a fucking gorgeous day in Boston. I will probably be inside for most of it. But that is ok. I don't want to get cancer.

I met someone :)

Jeff

For those of you who may be wondering....

The End.

March 4-April 4, 2011.

Hi.
I am here to tell you all about the tour I just went on.
Here is a quick summary:

- A lot of people gave me/us free weed. Like...a lot.
- I decided to get "way more into" Bobby Brown and Peter Gabriel.
- Every show we played was amazing.
- Everyone we smoked weed with is the best person ever.
- People gave us a lot of free drugs.
- I smoked a lot of weed.

It was a little bit of a long tour.
I got my own car. Well, technically Nate owns the car, but it is a piece of shit anyway.
I got my own amp.
My friend Marisa played bass with me.
After I decided to start booking a month long tour I remembered I wasn't going with any other bands this time and I would have to do all the driving because Kayla doesn't drive.
And as some of you may know, I get tired.
Nate was going to come.
Then Max was going to come.
Neither of them could do it and with about a month to spare, I asked Marisa, who I had met once before, to do it.
She said yes!
Hooray!

So she flew to L.A. from NYC 4 days before our first show, and then all this shit happened. Well...what I can remember of it. Sorry. It was a long time ago.


March 4: Me, Nate, and Marisa drove from Los Angeles to Oakland. We went to Erica's house and smoked weed. Then we went to the show at the 1234 Go! Records store. I had never even been in there before! It was very small. BUT, it was a great show. A lot of awesome people came, almost all the hot dogs got eaten, and not one, not two, but THREE different people gave me weed. Max and I played "Tread on Me" together at the end of the show.
I love that song!
I felt very honored that my friend wanted me to be a part of the 4th Annual Uzi Rash Arts Show.
It was a very special occasion.
Matty and Kara came, and we all decided to go to "some party" after the show.
It was LAME!
Well, it was ok. But it was super crowded and shitty so me and my friends just stood on a staircase for like an hour smoking weed.
I pushed my way inside at one point and discovered more friends!
Lil C gave me a weed cupcake!
It was delicious. I was in a way better mood from that point on.
Then I think we just went back to Dan and Erica's and smoked weed and watched something really awesome on the TV and went to sleep. I am thinking, it was probably "Martin".

March 5: We were supposed to play in Reno, NV but the show got canceled so we just hung out in Oakland. I got to see my friend who I haven't seen in a really long time! We walked around the lake, ate pancakes, and smoked weed all day long. Then I went back to Dan and Erica's, but no one was there! So I just went to sleep. It was 9:00 PM.

March 6: It was cold and rainy. Nate and I got breakfast, then we picked up Kayla, then we went to Dan and Erica's to meet up with Marisa who had been with friends we don't know. We said goodbye and left for Ashland, OR.
It was cold! :(
But anyway, we got to this house party later on in the night and it was rainy and cold still.
There were a lot of kids there. They smoked weed with us and a nice girl gave me a weed caramel!
Our set was terrible due mostly to some kids trying to adjust levels on the PA that didn't need adjusting, causing really really loud awful feedback, causing everyone to leave the room in disgust, causing me to stop playing a song RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF PLAYING A SONG!
That is the first time I have EVER done that.
I was really, really mad.
But, that's what you get sometimes for playing house shows. They are the best, but they can truly suck shit as well.
I didn't want to be a diva or anything, but it was hard for me to contain my feelings. I felt a lot better after smoking a big joint and eating a free weed caramel though. That is for sure.
So yeah, that show was fun.
Then we went to this dude Patrick's parents' house, which was on the veryyyyy very top of a mountain. The house was huge and insane. We smoked a lot of weed and ate chili. Patrick showed us some videos of this funny metal band called RATTLER, Kayla and I showed him some videos of MEAN JEANS, then we went to bed.

March 7: I woke up pretty early and it was snowing which really worried me. When I went to the car, the interior light was on and the battery was dead. So we had to jump it, and it took a really long time, and it was really cold and we kept having to walk up and down this god damn mountain. But finally we got it going! Well, Patrick and his dad did. And they gave us jumper cables too. And made us breakfast. How nice.
So we were like, HALLELUJAH! it started! Now perhaps we won't be late to the Portland show we are supposed to play tonight. Then, as I was trying to back down their driveway, I accidentally backed over the ledge and couldn't go anywhere. (We were on a mountain you guys.)
So I had to call Triple A to come and make the bad things stop happening.
They came right quick and heyyy! We were on our way.
We got to the Mudai Lounge in Portland around 8:00 PM. They gave us free Ethiopian food! We smoked weed in my car with Adam Garcia and his friend. The show was AWESOME, Mean Jeans and Nucular Aminals were amazing, and we got payyeeeeeeeed. Thanks Jose!
Then we went back to Bob D's house with Adam where we smoked weed and chatted and eventually fell asleep.

March 8: We woke up, smoked weed, hung out for a long time, and ate toast. We also got some free clothes! I got a really insanely thin brown t shirt and some long socks which I had been really wanting cuz it was cold as fuck and I only had a few pairs of socks. None of which were as long or thick as these. I really suck at packing sometimes. I think then we just drove to Seattle.
Seattle RULES!
We played at the Sunset Tavern and it was my first time meeting Ruben, Nick, Lacey, and Sarah who are sort of like my bosses but they fucking rule and are really nice to me and do drugs and now have done drugs with me. YAY!
The Calligraphers, which is Kim Warnick's new band, were supposed to play and pretty much set up the show.
But then they had to cancel and I was really sad :(
But Kim was still gonna come!
But she didn't :(
But Kurt Bloch was there which was amazing!!!
But I didn't get to meet him :(
Anyway.
The Pudding Pops were great. "The Passion of the Pops" is my favorite record to come out of whatever year it came out. I am not sure if it has come out yet.
We played ok. I was starting to get sort of bummed at this point because I was meeting people from my new label for the first time and I didn't want to have to share the spotlight. I still regret the fact that their first impression of Colleen Green was of a duo, because really, that's not what CG is and that's not what it's supposed to be. I wish I could have done the tour alone but I couldn't. On the plus side, I like the fact that I got to play different songs this time and that the experience was different for anyone who has seen me before, because the nature of CG is also supposed to be experimental. But in the end, Colleen Green is one girl alone on stage with a guitar.
But anyway, it was a pretty fun night. We hung out at Ruben and Lacey's with the Fergus and Geronimo boys and Kevin from the Pudding Pops and the Tacocat girls. We smoked a lot of weed and there were card tricks involved.

March 9: We woke up and ate breakfast. Then Ruben took us to the Sub Pop headquarters! It was so exciting, but at the same time I was very sad because even though I love Kayla and Marisa, I shouldn't have had to share that moment with them. I should have been alone. You know what I mean? That probably sounds way egotistical or something but it's how I felt. I felt like it was supposed to be a special thing for me, and it just wasn't. I walked down the hall 10 feet behind while Ruben showed stuff to my friends. I wanted to hang with him, but getting even a word in with all those people around was a near impossibility.
So that sucked.
But whattya gonna do.
Anyway, we ate really delicious Vietnamese food after that and then we went to pick up our buddies Spencer and Brian, who live in Olympia but who had been hanging out in Seattle and had come to our show. They asked me for a ride, so we picked them up in some parking lot somewhere and all went to Olympia. We played at the Google Image Church. It was a fun show! A very very strange band played after us though. I don't want to talk about it. Then Spencer took us to a really cool coffeehouse that looked like it was inside the bowels of a very old wooden ship! Then we drove back to Seattle and stayed at Ruben and Lacey's again. We smoked weed, watched TV, and went to sleep.

March 10: We woke up, it was raining and cold. We were to drive to Pullman, WA that day for a radio interview thing before our show in Moscow, ID.
So we did!
The girls who did the radio show, Andi and Kelsey, were so cute and nice and their friend Adam shot a pretty cool video of me playing "Worship You". I also played "Cujo" which is a new song from a new EP and answered a few questions, like "Have a lot of new boys been talking to you?"
(I answered no.)
Then we drove to Moscow which was about 10 minutes away. We hung out at Kentaro's house and ate some food. (Kentaro is the very nice boy who helped us set up a show in Moscow.) Then we went to the show at CRAFT House, which we later learned stood for CAN'T REMEMBER A FUCKIN' THING.
The house was this really old huge farmhouse and we played in the basement. A few minutes after my arrival, a boy emerged from a shadowy corner of the living room wielding a GIGANTIC joint and said, "Colleen Green?"
You know I said hi girl.
Then I told him I would find him later, that I would DEFINITELY find him later.
This show RULED!!!!
There were so many kids there and they were all really really excited.
Someone took this cool video of the party and it looks REALLY FUN:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7HHhv5Z2Gc
Then we went back to Kentaro's house where we hung out, smoked weed and went to sleep.

March 11: We woke up very early in the morning and had to carry our stuff up veryyyyy very many stairs to go be on Kentaro's college radio show. It ruuuuuuuled though! We played "Mike" and "Nice Boy", I think. Maybe one more? If we did, it was "Worship You". And answered more interview questions, like "Do lots of boys come up and talk to you now?"
No, dammit. The answer is no.
So THEN, we went to Kentaro's work, which was a hippie grocery store, and we got some food. Then we went back to Kentaro's, ate the food, smoked weed, took a picture of ourselves smoking weed and then replaced his computer's background image with that, and then we drove to Caldwell, ID to play at Scott's Manor.
We got there around 9 or 10 and it was a good thing because apparently we were the last band and we were supposed to play next!!!
This show was sweet and the house was cool. Scott made us stickers. I ate a cinnamon roll with frosting. We even got our own room.
After we played we went down into the basement which had like a makeshift art gallery in it. We smoked weed and then there was some sort of ruckus upstairs, perhaps a fight or something? I don't remember.
Scott and his brother, it turns out, are extremely zealous dumpster divers and gave us a box of cookies because they had recently found a dumpster with a million boxes of cookies in it.
The cookies were SO FUCKING GOOD. I brought them to Utah with me!
Also, Scott's brother's favorite animal is the antelope. I bet you didn't know that.

March 12: We drove to Provo UT to play at The Compound. I would say that at this point in the trip, this was the stoned-est show. It was great to see Joey and Ned. We hung out in Joey's room for a really long time and smoked weed, apparently. All the bands this night were really great (Meth House Party Band, Glowing Head, Howitzer) and our set was really fun. The drum machine was making the refrigerator or something vibrate and it sounded like an extra instrument. Then after the show everyone left. Me and Kayla discovered CINNABON CEREAL and ate the rest of The Compound's supply. We smoked weed with The Meth House Party Band and went to sleep. AWESOME SHOW!

March 13: We drove to Boulder, CO. Most of our time on this tour, unfortunately, was spent in the car. But hey. Live n learn. The show was at The Goss House which is where I first met Marisa when I played there in August. (She lived there at the time.) The show was really good, Thee Goochi Boiz, School Knights, and Lust Cats were all great, some dude gave us a free 8th which was awesome, but I made the mistake of asking one of the dudes who lived in the house if there was "somewhere I could crash" and ended up having to avoid him all night because he assumed me asking him this meant I wanted to fuck him. Like, he really thought that. Guy wouldn't leave me alone! It was sort of funny and I mean it's not like I was really talking to anyone there. But like, oh, god, no. Eventually everyone left and Kayla and I slept in the living room. We may have watched "Blue Streak".

March 14: We ended up not getting a show in New Mexico so we decided to hang out in Boulder another day.
It was fun. Kayla and I went to Whole Foods, which is supposedly the largest Whole Foods in the entire country or some shit, but I didn't even think it was that big. But I guess they are gonna make it bigger. We walked around downtown Boulder, got new dresses, got coffee and hot chocolate (cuz it was cold!) etc etc. Then we met up with Marisa and Trevor and went to this coffee shop/bookstore where Tom from Thee Goochi Boiz works. He gave us free coffee and I got a pecan roll of some sort as well. YUM. I wanted a bagel, actually, but they didn't have a toaster! Figures. Uppity fucking assholes.
Kayla and I stayed at the Goss House another night, this night ACTUALLY thinking about it now, may have been the night we watched "Blue Streak".

March 15: Marisa took a bus from Denver back to Boulder and met up with us at The Goss House. Then her sister Desi came over. Desi was to come with us from Boulder to Austin and hang with us at SXSW. I'm pretty sure that at this point my car was dead on the street or something, because this was the day we decided to bring the car into the shop. The battery kept dying and the whole car had been shaking when going downhill and shit, so we figured we should get it taken care of since we were in a good place and had no show on the 16th. (Unfortunately I had to cancel this show in Amarillo TX. Sorry Joe Shmoe. You set up the show.)
Bad idea.
Well, it was an okay idea, but I went about it like a total and complete stoner so it sucked really bad.
They told me it needed lots and lots and lots of stuff done.
I'm not one to immediately trust a car man, or anything like that, but we didn't have TOO much time, and my main concern was having a car that was safe and reliable enough to get me and my friends to Boston.
So I told them to ONLY do the things that were necessary in order for us to get across the country.
Without thinking to ask how much that would cost.
No time to get a second opinion.
$1120 later we had a fully functioning car (whose battery, we would later find out, still dies.)
They charged me over $100 an hour for labor. Is that normal?
I hate them.

ANYWAY, after dropping my car off, still blissfully ignorant, we went to Desi's boyfriend's house and vaporized weed. Which was nice. Then I think we went to Desi's house and drank green tea and the car men called and told me how much it was going to cost me if I ever wanted my car back and I cried.
So then Desi dropped us off in Denver where we hung out with Trevor from Thee Goochi Boiz. We met his mom. She was blonde and really nice. She loves the movie "MacGruber". We walked around a bunch, went to some ice cream place, went to some bar/restaurant, I got a ham and cheese sandwich even though I didn't even want one, and it SUCKED! It was weird, I mean. To some, it may be a great sandwich. But not to me.
Then we all went to Marisa's friend Christine's apartment. She had a really cute apartment and a really fucked up old as fuck cat who apparently just died. This cat was creepy, guys. I am telling you.
Tom from TGB was there and we sat around for a while. I was really depressed so I didn't really talk at all, but I smoked weed. Trevor brought up the fact that his brother likes to eat fried eggs on top of zucchini bread, and there were mixed opinions on this, but Christine happened to have just made zucchini bread so we had to try it. The verdict? INCREDIBLE.
Then everyone left, including Christine, and it was me and Kayla's apartment. Yay!

March 16-17: I woke up and cried a lot more because that was the day I actually had to pay the terrible car men.
I ACTUALLY had to give them over a thousand of my dollars.
Lousy fuckers is what they is, and that's all that they is.
I'm also dumb though. Gotta give credit where it's due. You understand.
So Marisa and Desi came to get us, we picked up my car and set off for Austin, where we were scheduled to play the Hardly Art/Art Fag Showcase at around noon on the 17th.
We left in the afternoon and had about a 17 hour drive ahead of us.
More outlandish feats have been achieved, I'm sure.
But we were in the car for a really long time.
I drove for 10 hours.
But we made it!!!!
We drove straight to the show at The Shangri-La. As we walked up to the outdoor stage Heavy Hawaii was playing and they all shouted "COLLEEN!!!"
It was a wonderful greeting.
I love them.
Their vocals drive me crazy.
So, this show was really fun. We played about 20 minutes after arriving, and it was rad. We smoked a lot of weed and hung out in the sun all day. We met up with Brian Clark who was to accompany us on the rest of our journey. I saw a lot of friends.
I did an interview with Sailor Jerry. It was dumb and my muscles were going crazy so I probably sounded really weird.
I met a girl from Japan who wanted to take a picture of me for her website. She also told me that a lot of terrible things are happening in Japan right now, and asked if I could write one word on her notepad for her to take home.
I wrote "POSITIVITY".
It was the best word I could come up with.

I think on this day, I also walked to the Museum of Art with B. Clark and our friend Chris V., Dace was there for some reason printing prints. And! My friend Eric and his girlfriend were there! It was crazy and awesome to run into them.
Then we went back to The Shangri-La I think? Ruben was going to be there for another show that was happening after ours. I will be honest I really have no clue what else we did on this day after the show we played. It was a long day and I really had only gotten less than an hour of sleep the night before.
But I do know that we got to sleep in a really fancy hotel room that night and had a whole room to ourselves with a bathroom, refrigerator, tv, and all the pillows and blankets we could ever ask for!!!!
(Kayla had gone off earlier in the day with some friends and ended up having to sleep alone on a cold, hard floor with no blankets.)

March 18: We played at Cheer Up Charlie's during the day as part of the Altered Zones showcase. The Religious Girls were there - or maybe it was the Summer Blondes? - and I got a really cool long plaid dress. This show WAS AWESOME! It's really fucking fun to play outside, it was a gorgeous day, and we were right on the street. At one point even Heavy Hawaii stumbled in!
Then we walked around, ate food, and even saw a few bands including Mean Jeans! Yeah!
We smoked weed and hung out with friends in the sunshine all day long, and I was high on drugs.
It was so nice to be in Austin.
At night, we went to Red 7 for the Sub Pop/Hardly Art OFFICIAL SHOWCASE!!!!!
I was really really really excited for this show and with good reason.
We got to open the show and our set was super fun.
There were a million people there.
I got to meet the president of Sub Pop, Jonathan, and he told me he really liked my music and that our show was incredible. :D :D :D
I got to see a little bit of J. Mascis and Obits. I don't know who else I watched. I was extremely high.
Hunx and his Punx were my favorite though.
The girls' vocals sounded like memories.
Everyone was in a really positive mood and this show was unbelievable.
And TWO of my cousins came with their husbands! How sweet. They are not really into music, but it was pretty awesome to see them there, and they were really proud of me.
We were all really tired though so we went back to the hotel after the show and went to sleep. (Until Lacey woke me up at 4 am to ask if she could use my bowl and then I smoked weed and stayed up for a bit with her, Sarah, and Tim. Lacey was being extremely hilarious and told us that she felt crazy and weird like a butterfly.)

I will never be able to put this emphatically enough, but I LOVE HARDLY ART.
I feel so incredibly lucky that they not only found me but liked me and have been repping me so hard.
I feel like CG + HA is the perfect fit and I am really excited to be representing them as well.
I can't wait to make more records for them.
And more and more.
I have ideas.
Anyway.


March 19: We had a daiye show at End of an Ear Records. It was pretty good, but I lost my voice and had a little trouble singing. This was a pizza party with free pizza, but for some reason when I went to get pizza there was none left because all these CIVILIANS that came to the show ate it all.
God I hate civilians.
I was so hungry I puked.
Then me and Kayla and Eric went to get breakfast tacos. But the place we went to, the one with a huge sign saying BREAKFAST TACOS, was out of breakfast tacos. So we went to some bakery and I got a donut and maybe a breakfast taco? I don't remember. Yeah I think that's what it was. At any rate, that donut was hella goooooood and Kayla has a picture of me eating it.
Then we went back to the show, hung out for a bit, went outside and smoked weed near my car, and then we went back to the hotel. THIS was the day we used the pool. most def. Except, I didn't go in, I just dipped my feet in.
Then at night we played the Art Fag/Impose showcase at the Longbranch Inn.
This mighta been my favorite show of SXSW.
There were tons of awesome people there, my cousins came AGAIN! even though they know I'm a stoner now. Oh well. I can only be me.
All the bands (except the one that played before us) were so good.
I loved Dum Dum Girls and Dirty Beaches.
I was blown away by DB.

I remember at The Shangri-La, at one point during the day, I looked out into the crowd and saw Alex from DB combing his hair.
It nearly killed me.

This show was really fun and as always, I love hanging with Mario and the Heavy Hawaii crew.
They are all so nice.
(I feel the same way about Art Fag, btw, as I do about Hardly Art. How did these rad as fuck people find me? And why are they SO nice to me? I have been thinking about this and I want Kristen and Brandon to adopt me.)
It was also sorta sad cuz they thought that was gonna be the last time they saw me for a really really long time.
But they were wrong so it's cool.
So after the show we decided to do drugs. I called my friend Lew and he told us that he was at this weird hardcore show in a warehouse somewhere. So he picked Kayla up and brought her there cuz originally she was just gonna pick up. But then we were like, NAH LET'S HANG! So we all went to the warehouse place to meet her and Lew. ("We all", btw, is me, Marisa, and Eric.)
I love Lew and it was awesome to get to hang with him. We sat in an unlocked car outside and did key bumps for a while. Then we met up with B. Clark and went back to the hotel where to our surprise, Ruben and Kevin were hanging out! IN OUR ROOM!
I forgot to mention that there was a huge dining room table in the room, so we all sat around that all night long and did drugs and talked about things.
Literally all night long.
That's what you do though I guess.
At around 10 am or so I tried to go to sleep, but B and Ruben were both snoring SO FUCKING LOUDLY, plus I was like...really high. so I found someone's laptop and headphones and listened to Colleen Green and The Cars for a couple of hours. Musta been Ruben's computer. I dozed off a bit but really did not sleep.
Perfect way to say goodbye to SXSW.

March 20: We had a show that night in Shreveport, LA, but due to 3 accidents on our route, it took us 11 hours to get there instead of 6 and we missed the show. But come to find out, the show had like 10 bands on it, so maybe it all worked out for the best. We went inside, played with a few balloons, talked to the old dude that owns the joint, kept driving for a couple of hours and found a cheap motel. We also went to Waffle House where our waitress refused to bring me my coffee which I could see behind the counter just out of reach, and then her and some other bitch ass waitress decided it would be fun for them to stand over our table the entire time we ate and talk about their extremely uninteresting lives.
Oh my god I hated them so much.

"Can you please take this coffee off my bill?"
"Oh....you don't want it?"
"You never gave it to me and now I am done eating and I am about to leave."

March 21: We woke up in some really weird town in LA. We got coffee and bagels and headed to Oxford MS. We got to the Cats Purring Dude Ranch in Oxford MS in the early evening. This house is down a dirt road and used to be some sort of summer camp, or part of one or something. I want to live here. Within ten minutes of arrival the man of the house, Dent, told us he and his roomie had just bought tons of weed and would we like to smoke some. Yes, we said. Then we went to the store and bought a bunch of stuff to make dinner. We went back and made pasta with veggies and bread. IT WAS SO GOOD! We also bought more Cinnabon cereal. It turns out though, that shit just doesn't taste as good when it's not someone else's stuff.
The show was really fun but at this point I had completely lost my voice so my vocals maybe sounded a little weird. It wasn't too bad though.
I sat on a really comfortable couch and I wanted to sleep on it so bad that night, and I tried, and I was there first, but then some wacky guy came in and decided to sleep in that room too, which was a big hall-like room, and he immediately started snoring and it was very loud and it echoed and I hated him and I had to move to a different room where people were up all night watching youtube videos.
It didn't bother me as much as the snoring man though.

March 22: We woke up and hung around a bit and headed to Auburn, AL. Patrick, who set up the show, invited us to his house first to eat food and stuff, but none of us was really hungry, and the guy made all this seafood, which I hate, and I felt bad for not eating it but the guy who made it was old and weird and weirdly arrogant so I didn't feel too bad about not eating it. Also at one point he mentioned something about "needing to get all the blacks out" and "getting them back to Africa" or something and then the next thing I knew he was standing in the corner playing the recorder with his back to us.
We got to meet the Slutever girls, who are rad, and Patrick's girlfriend Shaunna made both bands RAD buttons!
We played at The Compound which was just like a carport underneath an apartment building. But the weather was gorgeous and I was happy to get to play outside again. Everyone there was really nice and the show was short and sweet. Then we went back to Patrick's house (after getting hassled by the cops) hung out for a while, and eventually went to sleep.

March 23: We woke up, ate some toast and drank some coffee, went to a bookstore/cafe that had wi-fi because B. Clark left his wallet at a gas station in LA and had to take care of some emergency business. I got a really cute kids' book in French called "La maison tete de pioche". I don't understand too much of the story, but I have discerned that it is about a house that TALKS!!! Kayla said that book sounded right up Marisa's alley, because earlier she had made a comment that she "always wishes buildings would talk to her".
Oh anyway! We played in Gainesville FL that night. The show didn't start til around 10:30 so we hung out with our friend Ryan at his house beforehand. We chatted some and talked about Oakland. Then we went to the show at the Junkyard. It was super fun! We played with three bands who were all EXTREMELY loud and noisy. I don't think anyone there wanted to like us, but they did!
It was really cute, actually.
Everyone there turned out to be really nice and we basically sat at a picnic table all night smoking weed and talking.
The dude who runs the Junkyard, Keith, was awesome and he gave me a bunch of weed cookies that some crazy man gave him and they were really, really disgusting. They were super dry and tasted like baking soda. I hated them. But they got me hiiiiiigh! Thanks Keef!
I really liked this show.
Then we went back to Ryan's and ate pizza. I spilled pizza on my green dress.

March 24: We woke up and went to downtown Gainesville to get food. We found a delicious sandwich shoppe where at least half of the staff had huge dreadlocks. They were playing "The Reflex" by Duran Duran which happens to be my favorite Duran Duran song. So that made me very happy. Then we headed to Columbia, SC.
We got there sorta early and hung out with the woman of the house, Jessica, who is amazing btw.
She was pet sitting two puppies and they were both very very cute!!!
We walked to FOOD LION to get dinner stuff. We decided to make salad, but once we got back to the house I started feeling extremely shitty and could not eat. The show was pretty ok and our set was really fast. Jessica broke a bunch of dishes on her floor during her band Dawn Shredder's set and I got 4 cuts on my legs and one bruise which for some reason hurt really bad!
Some dude gave me acid in exchange for my tape. Still waiting for the right day...
I met a boy who looked like Mark Ruffalo and he told me he had been sent to the show by his friend from Portland who told him that I was a babe and he should smoke me up. But he didn't have any weed! How absurd!
Jessica's other band Haus Werk played and it was their first show ever! (She had told us about this band earlier in the day, and that they all wore aprons, and we just really wanted to see them. So they played.) We made them play the puppy song 5 times in a row. It ruled.

March 25: We did not have a show this day so we decided to visit Kayla's sister Lauren in Chattanooga TN. It was rainy and cold! But, Lauren and her boyfriend have an insanely cute puppy named Gordie Howe. So that was good. She made us a very healthy meal which I did not eat. I was so tired I just wanted to sleep. So I did, and I even got my OWN room so no one could wake me up with their snoring.

March 26: Lauren made us DELICIOUS pancakes and I drank tea and we hung out. Then we set off for Cincinnati. It was very cold and it was snowing. We played at this bar called Mayday which was cool because the sound guy smoked us up and we got to eat extremely cheap hot dogs with PRETZEL BREAD buns!!! AND, we could get whatever we wanted on the hot dogs. I got a hot dog with ketchup and mustard and a pickle spear and chippies. It was really good. Although in retrospect I wished I would have not gotten the mustard. I don't even like mustard! I just wanted to live it up a little, you know?
Anyway, this show was really good. I didn't think there was going to be anyone there but in fact there were a LOT of people there. There was a really comfy upstairs lounge with big couches too. The bands we played with were really terrible though and one of them even covered "Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits. Like...WHO DOES THAT? Me and Kayla laughed. Also one of their merch items was a book of poetry written by the singer for $10. We ended up staying at Waffles's friend Chad's house, which also happened to be inhabited by a crazy lady with a baby. There were lots of portraits of her parents everywhere, individually, which had been taken at a professional studio.

March 27: We woke up and screamed WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!!! And that's exactly what we did. We went to a really good diner somewhere in Cincinnati and I got french toast. Then we headed to CHICAGO!!!! Which is always one of my favorite places to play and visit. It was REALLY COLD! But at least it wasn't snowing. We played at Hallowed Ground in Wicker Park with Slushy, Tyler Jon Tyler, and Dead Ghosts. All the bands were great and the house was SO COOL! We smoked weed and made friends with Dead Ghosts. Marisa and Kayla decided to go party with them after the show, while Brian and I opted to go hang out at my friend Joey G's house in Andersonville. Joey just moved and his new apartment is really nice and cute. He is such a good boy. We hung out, drank tea, ate some snacks, and watched "Freaked".
It was really fun.

March 28: I woke up and watched "Jawbreaker". Me, Joey and Brian went to pick up Kayla and Marisa and we all went to breakfast at this place called Earwax. It was really good and after breakfast, we got shakes! Me and Brian split a coconut almond shake and it was to die for. Then we went back to Joey's house, said our goodbyes, and headed to Detroit. We played at PJ's Lager House and it was awesome! There was even an old sleepy dog in the basement! PJ really liked our set, too. He was old. The other bands were all really, really weird. Then we went back to my friend Auchie's house and hung out. We watched a movie but I forget what.

March 29: I was awoken by Auchie whispering to me, "Colleen....here's every NOFX cd." WHAT A GUY. Then he and his roomie left for work. We got our shit together, lit off a very small firework on the sidewalk, scared an old man, I saw a hot punk riding his bike, and then we headed to Columbus OH. We arrived at Carlo's apartment before the show and hung out with him and his roomies. They were really cool. Then we went to the show at The Treehouse. The main novelty of The Treehouse is the fact that there is a damn tree growing right the fuck through the middle of it. This place was really cool. Carlo's band played after like 7 years of not playing and they were good. I decided I was going to wear my sunglasses all night long, and I did a pretty good job of it, but it didn't last. I probably forgot. After the show we went back to Carlo's and smoked mad weed and laughed a bunch.

March 30: Carlo took us out to breakfast at his place of employment, I forget what it's called now though. But it was good. THENNNN we headed to Harrisonburg VA. We left Columbus way later than we should have but oh well. There was also tons of traffic so we didn't get to the show til around 11:30. But luckily they still let us play and kids actually were still there to watch us! It was in a very small apartment, but it was fun. Then band time was over and I played DJ with someone's ipod that they had just left out. It had a lot of shitty music on it but I managed to DJ Dum Dum Girls and Violent Femmes. Then we went to this kid's house and it was incredibly cold. We smoked a few bowls and he gave us free 2ce. How sweet! Then we went to sleep.

March 31: We woke up and again, wanted to GTFO because it was just so cold and destitute. We got ready to leave and the car wouldn't start. B Clark was driving and he seemed to be having trouble with it so we went back inside, woke a dude up, and asked if we could attach our car to his using our jumper cables. While we were waiting for him, I went back outside and decided to try the car again and it started! Sometimes you just have to give it time. And be me. So then we set off for SILLY PHILLY!!! We had a show at the Unholy Trinity House, which is one of my favorite houses. Four stories of utter delight. Maybe more! The show was rad although we missed the first/only other band. Doty and Kellzo and Michelle came! I love them very much. After the show was over we walked to a place that is like a liquor store but they also have delicious things like chickie nuggies. I got some of those and onion rings. I was hungry. They were so good. We went back to Doty and Kellzo's, a few of them dropped acid and Kayla and B ended up taking the 2ce as well. Slutever came over, we all hung out for a while, and then I went to bed.

April 1: We woke up, hung out, etc. Then we went out to breakfast at this fancy place with Michelle. It was good. Then we drove to New Jersey! We had a show at The Alamo in New Brunswick, but we went to CJ from Big Eyes's house in Highland Park beforehand. He had ordered a bunch of pizza but Marisa was the only one who ate some. Oh actually, I ate an incredibly small slice that I created myself out of a much larger slice. We watched Beavis and Butthead for a bit and headed to the show. Josh Hoey was there! It was so great to see him! It's been a long time, but he is an old friend from Boston. He made us this really delicious quinoa stir fry with pineapples, peppers, kale, and a buncha other hippie shit in it. I felt like a real hippie turning down pizza in favor of quinoa salad, but I needs my vitamins too.
Then Marisa, Kayla and I went to my car to smoke weed. I felt like I was going to shit my pants, and I really hate that, so I decided to go take a shit next to the steps of a church that was across the street. It was the perfect spot! But my ass still got really cold. It was my first time ever shitting outside.
It was fun!
Tiring though, a little.
So the show was AWESOME, all the bands were great. Two songs into our set, someone got pulled over on the street outside and we had to stop playing just to be on the safe side. But it ended up taking FOREVER because this chump had a record or something and got arrested hard. But eventually, they hauled him off to the clink and we resumed playing. This show ruled! There is a really good video of us playing "Mike" from it, too.
Then we all went back to Josh Hoey's house where we ate food, smoked weed, avoided cats, and went to sleep.

April 2: Josh made us breakfast and then went to work. We smoked weed and lazed about for a little while, then we decided to get the fuck to New York! We arrived in Manhattan and went to Marisa's aunt and uncle's loft on W 17th St. I got a parking spot right outside! The loft was incredible, and empty cuz her aunt and uncle have been on vacation for the past like 3 months and she has just been living there. We went to the Donut Pub. I ate donuts and an egg and cheese sandwich on a ROLL - yum.
We walked around a bit.
We smoked a lot of weed.
Then we went to the show at Death by Audio. We played first and the entire show was AMAZING! Jeff is one of my new favorite bands. I met and talked to a lot of really cool people this night. At one point me, Kayla, and Brian walked/took the subway to another bar to buy drugs and weed. Then we took a cab back to the show just in time to see Jeff play. It was so perfect!!!
A lot of friends came to the show and it was super super fun. Then we decided to go to some dance party somewhere and the minute I got there I regretted it. After a little over an hour, I decided to leave for real and so me, Marisa, and our friend Andy went back to the loft where we smoked weed, watched Chappelle's Show, and went to sleep.

April 3: We hung out at the loft all morning and then when it was time, we went to Willimantic, CT to play our second to last show. But when we got there, no one was home! There was one light on, so we went inside but no one was there. We all used the bathroom, ate a few pickles, said "fuck it, let's go to the Sunset Grill!" and that is what we did. I got mashed potatoes and wings. It was really good. Then we went to Kayla's brother Joey's house in Brighton where some people were hanging out. We smoked weed for a while and then went to sleep. Actually, to be honest, I did not sleep a wink due to Brian Clark's snoring. I even took a Zoloft! But it was ok. I didn't mind.

April 4: We all went to Bagel Rising and it was ok even though they only had like 5 bagels left. We hung out at Joey's and went to the show at Zuzu that night.
It was really fun. I don't remember too much about it other than that You and Yr Pointy Ears was good, I was stoned, and I conversed a bunch with my friends Spenser and Eric. I don't remember what we did after though! I'm sorry!


And that is the end of my tour blog.

Ha

Funny email.



joshua
to me

Apr 9 (1 day ago)

REALLY FEELING YOUR SHIT. CAN YOU SEND ME SOME MP3'S OF THE NEWEST MATERIAL YOU HAVE?

JOSHUA@HEARTMUSICGROUP.COM

THANKS.

Attn Kids.

A couple of things I have been wanting to say to you.

1) If you're interested in trying drugs, I say go for it! They can be really fun. Just don't do too much! And don't get all crazy trying to mix them and stuff. Get a feel for em, do a little bit, and see what works for you. But only do them because you want to, not because someone else told you to.

2) DO NOT HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX! For real, B. Life is LONG. You will have plenty of time to have unprotected sex when you are old, trust me. Until you are 100% ready to deal with any and all of the consequences that could potentially arise, you should be wearing a condom. You don't want to get an STD. That's disgusting. And you DEFINITELY don't want a baby. Ew. Grossest shit possible.

I remember when I was in high school, I had a best friend who had a "serious boyfriend". And they had sex regularly. But then my friend told me she stopped because if she ever got pregnant there was no way she'd be able to handle it. BECAUSE THAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU HAVE SEX.
We were like 16. What she said really stuck with me. She was a very smart girl.
And her boyfriend didn't care. He loved her and was nice.
If your boyfriend cares, and treats you differently, then he is a douche and deserves to be raked in the face.

Ugh. It just makes me so upset that kids feel like high school is the end all be all.
Kids, please remember to BE YOURSELF. I can't stress this enough.
I know high school is very hard, but it'll be over soon, and in the grand scheme of things it is a fucking drop in the bucket.
Don't do drugs because you think people will think you're uncool if you don't.
Don't have unprotected sex just because you think some douchey dude will like you more if you do.

Stay true 2 u. Do what YOU want to do. And your life will be fulfilling.



And if you actually WANT to have a baby at age 16 or whatever then you're just a fucktard and I don't think anything I say will help you. But in that case you probably have really shitty parents too. Oh god.

Dreams.

I had a pretty disturbing dream a few nights ago that involved me peeing on someone.
It was just fucked up because in the dream, I was peeing REALLY hard.

haha also

I love it how this blog has gone from "fun and understanding" to "boredom and confusion".

Things will pick up soon. I promise.

None of the boys I have been with are special enough for me.
That's why I'm alone.

(I have to tell myself stuff like that every day so I don't kill myself.)

No but really, I'm not in as bad a mood as I was a couple of days ago.

I am sort of sad now, but I was REALLY sad then.
I cried over spilled milk!!!
To be fair though, it was chocolate milk.


The End.

I am in kinda a bad mood right now.
Which sucks because I'm really high and I feel like it's kinda a waste.
But whatever.
I could be in a bad mood and NOT high, which would just be stupid.
I wanna shave my head.

I just feel like everyone is so fucking lame and unoriginal.
And whatta they get for it?
Their dicks sucked.
It's cuz the world's full of fucking wannabes and followers.
There are just too many people hanging around.

"I hate myself, yet I'm better than everyone."
How does that work anyway?
Weird huh?
You think I'm a bitch now.
I don't care.
NO ONE UNDERSTANDS.
I am PMSing.
Fuck you all.
(Except you....you know I love you baby.)



Anyway, me and my brother went to the Getty Museum yesterday.
It was really nice to get out of the house and go look at some fucking art.
And of course, to spend some quality time with my brother.
He is so sweet.
It was a BEAUTIFUL day as usual, we got to take a tram up into the hills, the museum was HUGE and gorgeous and I'd never been there before.
I was wearing a really short dress and I think you could probably see my ass.
But like I always say, I don't give a shit WHO sees my ass as long as they ain't mad at it.











I love that painting of the two lovers.
They are mythical characters, I forget who they are and who painted it,
but basically she like, really doesn't want him to leave and shit.

I feel u girl.




The End.

Hi

Hi, let me tell you about my weekend.
It was fun!

Actually I will go back a little forther cuz I did stuff that didn't happen during the weekend.

But it was damn close.

THURSDAY in fact.
My friend Dana was in town on business. Dana is a good buddy of mine from Boston who I first met when my old band played with his band I HAVE EARS at Charlie's Kitchen.
He was staying at an incredibly posh hotel in Beverly Hills called The SLS.
I took the bus to Morphine Man's house beforehand. He didn't move yet! Yay!
He is probably the nicest drug dealer ever. I am gonna miss that lil' guy. Actually he is pretty tall.

Then I took the bus to Dana's hotel and we decided to do some drugs and then go eat dinner at the incredibly fancy restaurant in the hotel called BAZAAR.
More like BIZARRE/utter shit.
We got tapas style dinner and everything we tried was disgusting.
It was supposed to be really high end gourmet shit, I think, but it was just so gross. Call me uncultured but I didn't even understand what half of the words on the menu meant. Like WTF is fennel? Is that an animal?
I got gazpacho as one of the plates. Gazpacho! What was I thinking?
I don't even like tomatoes. Certainly not in liquid form and ice-cold.
But I suppose there is enough gazpacho for all. Now isn't there.

So that meal was not appealing and made me puke. Thinking about it actually makes me a little upset.
(Also coulda been and probably was the drugs, but I like them better, so we will place 100% of the blame on this restaurant's jacked up food.)
The rest of the night consisted of Dana getting wasted and the both of us doing drugs and smoking butts in his amazing hotel room and watching The Simpsons and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
We told each other secrets and talked about a lot of stuff.
We stayed up almost all night and bonded hard.
It was really fun.

The next day, Dana let me share his airport cab with him and dropped me off at home. I slept for the rest of the day EVEN though I said I would go see Crocodiles and Heavy Hawaii at The Echo.

On Saturday morning Heavy Hawaii picked me up and we rode to San Diego together.
We hung around at Matt Bahamas's house, smoked weed, played weird board games (like Pac-Man, which is just as much fun as the action-packed video game of the same name!)
Oh, and I won. I love it when that happens!
I also love it when it is MY turn.
I practiced in their garage.
I ate oatmeal.
I put too much water in it.

Then we went to the show at The Casbah.
It was a pretty amazing show.
Lots of friends were there and Crocodiles kinda blew me away.
I was sort of excited to meet Tamaryn cuz for some reason I thought she was gonna be really nice.
Haha.

Anyway, I forgot all my comics and shirts at home. I got a Crocodiles shirt and it RULES, I am actually wearing it now.
Have been since Sunday.
It might be my new favorite shirt.

After the show, a bunch of peeps went to the Raw Moans house including me.
It was pretty fun and not too outta control.
Everyone there was SOOOOO drunk.
Most of my time at this party was spent doing drugs in Joseph's room and singing along to The Rentals and Blink 182 in the living room with Matt.
Gary let me sleep in his bed. It was extremely soft and comfy.
He slept underneath the kitchen table.

On Sunday I was supposed to get a rideshare with some craigslist creep, but he wanted to leave at 9 am which would have meant about 2 hours of sleep for me, so I told him to fuck right off and slept until noon instead.
Then we got Mexican breakfast at Pokeeeez.

later I worked on my EP cover art, laughed at missed connection/casual encounter posts with Jeff and Gary, smoked weed with Joseph and tried on his jackets, and watched "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" with Gary because that movie FUCKING RULES.
He gave me weed candy, new sunglasses, and fed me a pasta meal.


I got a craigslist ride the next morning at around 10 am.
At first I was scared because the dude was driving a bit erratically.
But after he got unlost everything was fine and by the end of the car ride we were both chewing bubble gum and wearing my sunglasses.
(I sorta wanted to take a picture of him wearing them, but I figured it would make him think that Americans are creepy motherfuckers.
I'm not very representative of the general population unfortunately. Or am I?)

Anyway, this was a great rideshare experience.
My companion was a rather delightful Indian man who is studying at LMU and has only been in the U.S. for one month!
He told me about arranged marriage celebrations and how in India there are elephants everywhere jus walkin' around.
I told him about "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and about how fucked up I think it is that the government makes these dumb collectible quarters and shit that you have to pay like $30 for.
He couldn't believe it either.
He said, "This concept is one I have never heard of before!"

I love him.

So that was pretty much my weekend.
It was very nice.
I was very high most of the time and got to hang out with fun people.
And that's all I can ever really ask for.




The End.

For the record...

I really really love this picture of my friend Blarry.

Trust no one.

The cabbie driving me to Logan Airport a few weeks ago was trying to avoid hitting a rabbit and came very close to flipping the vehicle cuz it was 3:30 am and he was going like 75 mph on a Storrow Drive off ramp.
It was really, really, really fucking scary.

In Driver's Ed they taught us to only risk our lives for a domestic animal.
If it's a squirrel or some shit, just go right for it.

Why didn't I ask him to slow down?
Cuz I didn't wanna sound like a pussy bitch?
I tipped him, too!
He was probably on meth or some shit like one of those all-night truck drivers.
Fucking jackass.

I forgot to tell anyone about that.

-that story about the elementary school janitor who won the lottery but continued to work as a janitor because it was important to him that the kids have a clean school

Sex

Going down on someone you really like can be reeeeaallllly amazing.

END OF 2010.

Ok, so I guess I will blog a bit about my last days in Boston. They were fun!!

And I suppose I should probably tell you what I did for NYE, because people care about shit like that, right?

Just as they care about every other completely useless tidbit of info I type up in this piece of shit blog.

So anyway. In sum:

- I went home to Dunstable, MA for the holidays.
- I recorded 4 songs at Nelly's house. They came out good! Thanks to Nelly, Jarrod, Corey, and Jenna for putting up with me and letting me use their stuff and drink their coffee. I forgot to put the top on the coffee pot the first time I tried to make it, and none of the coffee dripped into it. Then I put the cover on and put the pot back in place and all the coffee poured down into it really fast!
It was scary! But at least I didn't break it as I had initially worried.
- I hung out with Jeanette, Ben Frassa, and Matt Flynn a bunch.
- I saw some really great bands and played an AWESOME show with my friend Andy on drums!
- I took Ativan for the first time.
- I smoked weed with my cousin.
- I hung out with many awesome friends.
- I smoked a lot of weed.

My New Year's Eve plans were to "smoke weed and walk around", and I definitely feel I accomplished this goal.

I went to Jamaica Plain to hang out with my friends Sideburns and Lil' Joe.
They have a new living room and are VERY nice boys.
We smoked weed and watched a few episodes of The O.C.
It's just what we do.
Lil Joe was sick. He had a very comfy-looking blanket. I hope he feels better at this point!

Then I met up with Brian Clark at a house show in Lower Allston. I had to park very far away and got sort of lost trying to walk to the show.
But I didn't mind that much, cuz I wanted to "walk around", you know?
The show was pretty fun. I watched one band but I don't know who it was. I went specifically to see Comanche but ended up leaving before they played.

Here is a picture of the party I was at:


It was actually pretty awesome cuz Nora, Andre, Ryan P., Sean McAllister, and Veronica were ALL there among a lot of other awesome people.

So that was nice.

Then around 11:00 me and BC decided to go back to his house in JP where a stylish party was going on.
It was COOL!
Everyone looked great. Jen and Capn Dan were there. Ben and Athena, (they live there, and YES that's Ben from GIRLFRIENDS that I am talking about!!), Sideburns, Tuck and Amelia, Andy, and EMEEN!!!

Also, a girl named Alex was there and I introduced myself to her for the FIRST TIME! I forget if we had met before that. Alex is important because in photographs, sometimes, we look like the same person.
It is weird and cool.
Hi Alex. Are you reading this? You told me at this party that you read my blog and asked me if I thought that was weird.
(I answered no, of course.)
Hi Dace! You're cool too.

So then it was midnight and stuff, and I sipped a small shot of Sweet Tea flavored vodka. It tasted EXACTLY like sweet tea flavored vodka.

This party had deece snacks.
We smoked a big joint.

Then a bunch of us walked to anotherrr party down the street. But it actually seemed to take a long time to get there. But I didn't mind, cuz I wanted to walk around and all.

This party had even BETTER snacks but was LAME! I guess on NYE, it is harder to find good parties later on in the night cuz everyone gets SO wasted so early on in the night cuz they wanna be fucking trashed by the time 12:00 rolls around.

Me and Sideburns just stood next to the snack table eating chips and dip for a really long time in near silence.

Yeah.
So then a bunch of us left.
Me and Sideburns smoked weed and I slept on his couch.

THEN the next morning/afternoon me and Sideburns smoked more weed (duh) and walked and got breakfast at some place called Doyle's. It was AWESOME. Oh man. I just had to take a minute and think on it. So good.

Then I think we walked back to my car, I dropped Sides off and went home.

THE END of 2010.

It was a fucking amazing year.


In 2011 so far I have played an AWESOME show with LIVE DRUMS courtesy of Andy from one of my favorite bands of all time, GIRLFRIENDS. It was so fun, a lot of my friends came to see me, AND I got to hang out with Francis from Thee Goochi Boiz!

Also, I went to a show and ended up going home with someone. I have never done that before! But I had been wanting to try it.
It was pretty kewl.

Is it weird that I am posting something like that?
Is it weird that I am even questioning it?

I have a friend who is all about not censoring yourself. I love him and like that.
So I try not to censor myself. But it can be scary.

Like, with the above admission for example. I didn't use any names or anything. Unless you are my best friend or a roommate of the person in question then you probably have no idea wtf I'm talking about.

But it's weird cuz like, what if that person is reading this?
I never assume that they won't, because I mean...IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE!

But what if they don't feel like it was alllll exactly like that?
You know what I mean?
It can be hard.
And it's a blog and while nothing is made up, it is supposed to be entertaining and shit too.
Holy fuck I am rambling SO HARD right now.
I am really stoned.
