Drawn With a Steady Hand (Fireproof)

Yes, these are pictures I took with my camera.


Which of course indicates my level of ecstaticness -- my camera returned on Wednesday morning, the same day I left on the ferry to Metropolis to see my favorite band in the world play at the most beautiful venue on this side of the country. I also had the pleasaure of staying with my ol' buddy Led (You know that online-friend phase? Led is one of those ones who stuck -- known him for seven years but only met twice).



We saw Jimmy Eat World play at the Commodore, which was a defining point in my life. Led understood my need to be free in the crowds of fans who all loved the band as much as I did. I explored the ballroom entirely, it's an amazing venue. Afterwards, Led and I burned inscence (so to speak) in Robson Square and he skillfully recited some Anglo-Saxon poetry. Learned that he was an English major too. Reminds me I have a lot to learn...

After getting two hours of sleep, Led woke up and made me a beautiful tofu breakfast. I didn't have time to eat much as I had to catch my taxi to the bus terminal so I could make the 7:00am ferry back home. Slept a few more hours, got up just in time to hop in my car and make my Greek and Roman Mythology midterm -- which I raped -- and come back home to skip women's studies and sleep until 5:00pm.

The folks are in town again. I came home to my brother asleep on my couch, having gotten in through the side entrance. Anyone who's been in close touch with me knows what that means... and yeah, I'm coping just fine aside from the occassional nuclear meltdown in my cerebral cortex.
