My First Blog

This is literally my first blog including Myspace, so forgive me if it's a little lame. Just to let everyone know I just moved up to SF in the middle of August to go to State up here. Before that I lived in Hollister (Not like the store it's about two hours south of here, forty five minutes directly inbound from Monterey/Santa Cruz) and it's a lot different than San Francisco. For example, I'm pretty sure that Hollister passed 8, which makes me really sad. Because basically what that means is that the people in my hometown are down with taking peoples rights away. I'm not even sure how Prop 8 was passed or how it can be upheld because it's taking away people's rights and I thought we weren't allowed to do that in the US except in times of war, or when it would threaten our national security. I could be wrong though, government was never my best subject. Despite that, I also want to talk about Obama's win. I am so excited that he won and I know that he's not some messiah that's going to change everything in a snap of the fingers but I would like to say that I am disgusted by the people I've heard talking about the results in a blase manner as if this isn't monumental. While Obama may not be able to change everything with a snap of his fingers don't you get that him being elected changed a fair amount of things? His election is monumental.

I'm really sad to say that one of my best friends is one of these people, but lately I've noticed that's she's just sort of a Negative Nancy. She's been bringing me down a lot lately and it sucks because I haven't made that many friends here so she's pretty much the only person I hang out with. I don't want to sound sad and lonely because I'm not. I'm cool with my one really good friend and the few other friends I have here, but it really sucks that the person who knows me best up here is such a downer. Besides being a joykill about Obama's win she's been making me feel really judged lately by what I do with my life. Such as the choice to go to a party with my roommate and her friends. My friend finally came with us this time, for the first time since we've been here, despite my previous invites and she TOTALLY killed the mood in the car on the way there. Neither she or I were drinking because we were sharing the burden of designated driver and even though I warned about the chaos that would be going on in the car (the yelling and loud music and general disorderliness) she refused to just lighten up and go with the flow. After this night she's been ridiculously awkward around my roommate too. Instead of just being unhappy the night of and letting it be known and then letting it flow under the bridge anytime we're around my roommate or her friends she leaves the room or sits there awkwardly not trying to engage them at all. I'm sorry if this is really whiny but I've just become really annoyed with her and her attitude, but it's not like I can just ignore her because she is my friend. I don't know if I should sit down and talk to her about this or not because I honestly believe that it's just the way she acts. I think she's just sort of socially awkward. I don't know though. Whatever.

Besides that, I love living in San Francisco. I have been to, while not an abundance of shows, a few very high quality ones (Tiger Army, Horrorpops, and Street Dogs). I also went to a comedy show at Cobbs (Jaime Kennedy) which was hilarious and I love love love Rasputin music and Birite Creamery/Delores Park. And I can't really think of anything else to write that would make me seem less whiny (I swear I'm not really this bad, I think it has something to do with the fact that I've had the worst cough ever this week <--- see, more whining). Anyway, this is my introduction to you and I know it's not a great one but it lets you know who I am.
