Just to help keep me organized, and because I've seen a lot of other people on my flist doing this...

( Current Concert Schedule )

I realize not everyone on my flist loves Glee, but for the ones that do, did you hear that FOX is keeping it off the schedule from Dec. 9 to April 13th to make room for American Idol?.

Not amused.

Have I mentioned that I'm excited for this?. Because I totally am. And, Andy said there was a chance they'd do a show or two, and I am so there, even if I have to go all the stupid way up to NYC. Again. Mostly, though, I just want music and happy!Joe.

Also, if you wanted a holiday card and haven't given me your address yet, go here. I'd really like to try and get them out in the first week of December.

I'm going home today at 3! We don't really celebrate Thanksgiving (except for that one time we staged it for jacqui_hw because she begged, being British and all), but we do put up our tree and there's free food at home and stuff. So, hurrah!

I've got an interview in the next week or two with News9 in Denver. My dad's good friends with a woman whose daughter is the one who oversees all the hiring, which bodes well for me. I really, really, really don't want to do strict news unless I am starving on the street and left with no other options, but they have a morning show, which is essentially what I associate produce right now at the university, and their format looks very similar to ours (not that... all morning news shows aren't the same). And hey, I like Denver. seeingpink is there, as is my favorite vinyl store.

Fingers crossed something good happens in the next few months.

Awesome things that have transpired in the last 24 hours:

-Ashlee was confirmed for "Chicago" on Broadway.
-rawiyaparand and I are confirmed for seeing Ashlee in "Chicago" on January 9th. :P
-Justin Pierre confirmed that he's going to Lawrence, KS, for the Dino Trail on the 22nd, so we're driving up there this weekend.
-It's one week until the new Marauder hoodie comes out.

YAY TODAY.

I've never actually done this, but I've always wanted to - so, no time like the present. I will actually be sending out Christmas/holiday cards this year! If you want one, just leave your address in the comments (comments are screened), and I will send you one!

Even if I know you really well, please leave your address, as I am notorious for losing addresses (it took me a year and a half to learn my zip code at this address, people).

Huh. Well, my friend wanted to go see Ludo too, only she can't afford gas, but her car works perfectly. I can't afford an oil change this week, but I have gas cards I don't actually pay for. So, um, when our forces combine we are CAPTAIN PLANET! we can go to Ludo tomorrow!

AND HOLY SHIT, YOU GUYS, JUSTIN PIERRE KIND OF JUST SAID HE WAS GOING TO LAWRENCE, KS, ON NOVEMBER 22ND AND I CAN TOTALLY GO TO THAT.

If you aren't watching Glee, I feel the need to ask you... why the hell not? Yeah, alright, some of the episodes are uneven, but when it's brilliant like it was yesterday, it's AMAZING. I may have watched "Wheels" three times now. Today.

I was supposed to drive to Dallas tomorrow to go see Ludo's Broken Bride tour, but I really need an oil change before driving the three hours there and three back, and honestly, I am just too lazy considering the ticket only cost me $10 in the first place. I feel a bit concerted-out after all the Blink dates. I'm incredibly excited for MCS's three night engagement in Chicago (though part of me does wish it was just one night, as that's three nights rawiyapard and I can't do much else... unless you count eating lots of grilled cheese after every show). But other than that, there's nothing I even care about until February when fun. is touring with Jack's Mannequin. Seriously, people. I've been to 60 concerts in two years, and I am tired.

In other news, Ashlee seriously needs to announce if she's doing Chicago, and when, so I can get our tickets/plane/hotel. I thought Pete was joking about her dying her hair black, but apparently... she really did. Which definitely does not scream Roxie Hart to me.

SO ALMOST DONE WITH SCHOOL. And then I can join the unemployed masses. But I enrolled today in my last two classes (5 hours and I'm FREE!), and applied to a few different jobs, so here's to hoping the last three and a half years haven't been the complete waste of time I feel they have been.

I had an awesome time this weekend in Texas and I posted some photos of Cobra all dressed up as skeletons and All Time Low dressed as women from the Halloween show. I also got to hang out with howlrounds and druscilla_way which is always awesome. I hadn't seen them since my birthday weekend. And, speaking of that weekend, a conversation I had with my father earlier:

Him: I noticed some Texas towns on the gas bill and I looked them up on a map and noticed they were by Houston.
Me: Yeah, I told you about that over the summer (and I did! In July, when I knew he wouldn't remember it).
Him: Did you go alone?
Me: I met up with people in Houston
Him: Well, don't drive alone for long distances. You'd die.

LOL. One day, I'm going to sit him down and be all, so, I've driven to Chicago three times BY MYSELF, flown to California BY MYSELF and got picked up by strangers, flown to New York BY MYSELF and got lost at Harlem at 4 in the morning, and been to 10 more states than you know about. TA-DA. But then he'd have a heart attack and die, so, maybe this is not a good plan.
