h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

last night i (what a concept) DROVE myself and a friend into the french quarter to see interpol. i paid $9 for parking which is f*cked up but hey, my parents are paying and they'll pay a lot for my safety and that of my truck. this exorbitant lot was about 2 blocks from the House of Blues. and about 10 minutes ago the gears finally started turning. i can go to Sigur Ros march 29th by myself without having to face the creeping paranoia of walking alone downtown after dark (even though i've done it before and in all probability not a damn thing would ever happen to me)! nothing to hold me back. i'm TOTALLY seeing Sigur Ros! even if none of my friends will go!
i mean, for a person as repressed as i, who is happy to be alone pretty much of the time, let me tell you, this is a liberating factor.
