boys, beer, hookah and ethiopia

Ok...so..haven't posted in a while..sorry Janna :-P


Lots of stuff has been happening as of late. lots of partying actually. Since Chris Cameron has been home from Ethiopia we all have been spending rediculous amounts of time together..and it's been wonderful. We all havent' spent close to this much time together in literally like...5 or 6 years...meaning Kristen, Dennis, Morgian and I...but it's been great spending so much time with everyone! Morgian is broken up with her deadbeat, crackaddicted, angry and abusive boyfriend. She came back to rehearsal on tuesday and..afterwards when i finally got a chance to hug her..I just fell to pieces in racking sobs and tears all over the place.

Been hanging out with a few people recently. This guy Ryan who I met online..he's cool. The night I met him..was a little dramatic lol..long story short..I may have been drunk and made out/danced with his roommate and whatnot..oh well. It's all good now. He takes me back to my Flint roots and ghetto fabulousness. Even though I'll always be a cornbred mildly butch white boy..I'll always have a big black diva drag queen in my heart lol. I went to the bar with him on thursday and a few of his Flint freinds...I was the only white guy in the group..which..for me..hasn't happened since I moved down to E. lansing. I reminded me that I am just as comfortable around tokens...as I am BEING the token. It was a great night.

Last night my friend Adam came and visited. I met Adam at the Lansing Gay Pride. He's from Tenessee and his family has jewish heritage..how great right?! He is a freind of my freind Mike whom is an Evolutionary Biology masters student...who'da thunk I'd be hanging out with someone like that? lol Anyways, Adam came with his freinds Josh and Charles..and I wasn't really previed to the whole drama between the three of them before..apparently Josh liked Charles, Adam liked Charles and Charles was indifferent to both of them? So when I came into the scene...Josh and Charles were like MAJOR..SHAMELESSLY hitting on me..like seriously..I could have asked them to drop trou and let me fuck them right there..and they probably would have obliged lol..it was very awkward for me. And so..I've hung out with Adam a few times since..and thoroughly enjoy his company. He's this cute language dork whose current obsession with albanian and slavic cultures has rubbed off on me a little..and I try to learn albanian in my free time..it's not going as well as I'd like..but I don't think I'm giving myself enough of an opportunity to learn it..and he is the only person I could use it with..that i know of anyways. Oh well, it's still really interesting to me..cause we all know I'm a closeted language dork too. He also likes to cook, foreign films and buffets(BONUS!). I always knew that I liked foreign films..but he has really good taste in them. So he came and stayed the night last night and we watched Babette's Feast..which I recommend..it made me feel good. Did I mention he's really snuggly? :-P

I bought a new hose for my Hookah..and for $12 I dramatically improved the quality of my smoking experience. I am SOO happy with it!

Im really excited for the Hillsdale Wind Symphony performance on Tuesday. I think I'm gonna see if my dad and grandmother want to drive down and hear it. I'm gonna be playing Irish Whistle on the Lord of the Rings arrangement we're playing..and am WAY excited for it. We are also playing this piece called Dusk that I'm playing Alto Flute for..and I don't know..the tone of it..and how it fits with these crunch chords..I can totally just feel the tonalities and the sound envelop me and flow through my body. It's a completely wonderful aesthetically indescribable experience. I hope we sound as good outside as we do inside.
