lately:
1. multiple girls have been attacked/followed/attempted-raped/raped in my girlfriend's neighborhood. Lately I am having travis bickle style fantasies.
2. i got an evaluation at work that says I'm not friendly enough
3. one of my co-workers who is a little socially awkward has decided that I "need to find a job where I can use my degree," and has been giving me suggestions. Apparently a former coworker left to work at the city library, and so now he keeps reminding me to apply. The library is currently having budget problems to the point that they closed the central branch.
4. another coworker is my age and has a BA in film. I do not know how to befriend girls without it seeming like I am trying to make out with them. Maybe I can just blurt out "HEY I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND" as I walk by one day.
5. the other day I went to a show by Adrian Orange in my friend's weird crazy loft-studio-apartment thing. Unfortunately, adrian orange got so high that he could not perform. He just played fragments of interesting guitar parts, and murmured. His back-up singer stood perfectly still, looking at the floor, and occasionally repeated words that he said. I thought it was funny, but other people found it more "pathetic."
6. I saw Wavves, and guess what, they were immature douchebags. Also it was kind of a boring show. My GF and her roommate had a great time, and were so close that my gal ended up actually sitting on the stage.
It was kind of an awkward thing afterwards when they were talking about it, and it came up how every guy kept asking if my girlfriend was OK, while ignoring her roommate. It must be pretty rough to be the roommate who is not the cutest thing ever to walk the earth.
I tried to get up to where they were, but I was being crushed so much that I couldn't enjoy it. I was drenched in other dudes' sweat.
lately my fixation is the fact that fancy office-working dudes in Saint Louis do not realize that button-down collars are not for suits.
