How much does a hipster weigh?
An instagram.
Crap, I'm the only one who thinks this is hilarious.
Oh god it still cracks me up and it's like the twelfth time I've read it today.
How do you drown a hipster?
In the mainstream.
I have no clue why, but hipster jokes make me laugh like a hyena on drugs.
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it...
The hipster will buy the soundtrack.
I remember the first time I read the soundtrack one; think I laughed about it for days on end.
What do you call a potato high on weed?
A baked potato.
Why did the turkey cross the road?
Because it was the chicken's off day.

IT'S TRUE
Anberlin is definitely coming again; they tweeted about it.
I'm a little sad that I didn't know them back in 2002 or 2007 because a) Baybeats was free and b) the tickets for their 2007 show was only $60. With the current rates of concerts, it's gonna be at least $80 since it's a three-band show.
Now my dilemma is which album of theirs to buy for them to sign, in the event that I do get to meet them. Oh shit that reminds me: I should get RJA's new album too shouldn't I? Or maybe not. I could just let them sign my deluxe edition of Don't You Fake It.
Should I buy Cities or Vital for Anberlin to autograph? DAMMIT.
I predict the rest of my blog posts from now till August will be filled with constant babbling about concerts, Anberlin, RJA, and money (or lack thereof).

MAJOR NEWS
If what Live! Empire is saying is true - that Anberlin and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus are coming for a show in August 2013 - I will f*cking break down in tears of elation.
Anberlin. The geniuses who did Cities and recently, Vital. Oh my god I may get to hear "Breathe" live.
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Well, their new album isn't all that great but I still love them for trying anyway. It's hard not to when they've been there for me throughout my angst-filled teenage years.
Please, please, please let the tickets be cheap because if they're too expensive, it just emphasizes how this industry/world is about money and that love of music is never enough. Please let the band be kind souls who come out after the show to greet their eager fans and sign autographs and give hugs all around.
All a girl wants is an infinite supply of music and concerts.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind
I'm feeling out of bounds, out of bounds
I'm running out of time, out of time
I know there's no such thing as either of them
But it doesn't make me feel any better.

It's a little early to be posting but
This dude is such an asshole.
I admit that I do have double standards sometimes, but it's never been so apparent to me before.
Honestly, I've never really been bothered by secondhand cigarette smoke because I'm so used to the smell. (My dad is an avid smoker.) All the smokers I've met in my life have been pretty polite and considerate: they either ask before lighting up, or when I express discomfort with it, they go somewhere else to smoke. It's a mutual understanding between smokers and non-smokers of the world.
BUT all that changed when I started this job of mine and met the most obnoxious smoker.
Not only does he light up without warning; when I politely request for him to stand further away from me (for some reason his cigarette smoke makes me cough while others' don't), he replied, "Hey I'm giving you free smoke - you should be grateful!"
The first time I heard that I was so astonished that I just shut up and walked away myself.
The second time, I retorted, "I don't think I want free lung cancer, thanks." I thought that might've made him realize what a douche he was being and retreat, but he continued smoking like a smug chimney.
The third time, I tried again and said, "You know secondhand smoke is more dangerous to health than smoking itself?" He just laughed and exclaimed, "You shouldn't complain when you get free smoke!"
There is no getting through to a douchebag.
Hence I've resorted to passive-agressive looks and blatantly getting up from my desk when he takes out his cigarettes. (My desk is situated right at the front of the store and his self-designated smoking area is just outside.)
And passive-agressiveness doesn't work if the receiver refuses to decode the message.
Last night I was at a friend's birthday celebration and halfway through a movie in the room, one of her friends asked if I was okay with them smoking right there. I nodded without hesitation. Then I started thinking about how I would have thrown a bitch fit if it had been my colleague - not that he would've asked for permission in the first place.
Double standards make me feel hypocritical but I can't help it. When this douchebag lights up, my face involuntarily scrunches up into a cringe. When my friend lights up, I just continue standing there chatting like I'm not inhaling increased chances of lung cancer.
OH GOD HE'S AT IT AGAIN GOTTA LEAVE MY DESK BYE

What Is This Feeling?
The original answer to that song lyric is "loathing", but sometimes I just like to sing that line and replace the rest of it with whatever emotion I'm experiencing.
Right now, it's relief, with a hint of trepidation.
Relief because I had a two-hour argument with one of my dearest on this sinking Earth. The emphasis is on the duration of the fight. It lasted only two hours and that's the longest we've ever fought. So I'm lucky to have a friend with whom arguments = frank discussions about our flaws.
That hint of trepidation comes from that obsession I've had for the past few weeks. I'm hopeful but inevitably it'll all come crashing down in a tidal wave until I'm crushed (crash, crush. Heh heh heh).
It's a very strange mood to be in, now. I tend to get overexcited about little things but now the rain is coming and the weather is so soothing I feel it's a crime not to sleep. Little things don't matter now.
Will somebody give me a bed that's locked in time?

Obsession
This infatuation has got to stop. Hours and hours of contemplating and fantasizing has caused my brain to malfunction more than usual.
To make matters more dire, my constant need to gush (even while my brain isn't working) probably renders me a very tiresome person to hang out with nowadays.
Let this be an official apology if you have been a victim of my word vomit on this subject.
