I am many things, but a bad kid isn’t one of them. I’ve never been suspended and I’ve only ever been given one detention in my life–fourth grade, Mr. Marcus’ class–but that all  changed yesterday. For the first time ever in my college career, I was kicked out of a class.

To our surprise, the professor announced a pop quiz yesterday for our Ancient and Medieval Political Theories class, which Sean and I were obviously not prepared for. We turned in our quizzes, along with most of the class, and went back to take our seats. I turned to Sean and asked in a whisper, “Did he cover any of that while we were here, or is that all from the class we missed on Friday?” Sean assured me that the material must have been covered on the class we missed Friday and then we heard the professor say, “You two, back there, come up front.”

He took down our names and informed us we were going to receive Fs on the Quiz (which is fine with me, I left it blank and so did Sean) and we were to leave the class for the day and I think he marked us as absent. Part of me can’t be angry at the professor; I mean, it’s his class and his rules and there were still people taking the quiz. But, damn, cut us some slack. F on the quiz, fine. Kicking us out for the day I feel is taking it too far.

There were also some problems concerning the loan I took out for this semester. Apparently, the reason it has not been dispersed is because my expected graduation date conflicted with the loan or something like that. I got it squared away with Financial Aid, but I won’t be getting any of the money until sometime next week, which leave me terribly broke this weekend. Oh well, guess I’ll have to go without drinking this weekend.

I discovered Gossip Girl. It’s one of those shows I promised myself I wouldn’t watch because it revolves around the fictional lives of self absorbed, rich, pretentious, fashionistas and that’s definitely not my scene. However, for some god awful reason, the show is addicting. The guys are so fucking hot, and gay, or in the case of Chuck Bass’ character, not out in the show, but his character in the books is openly gay (according to my friend).

Reading the Twilight Series took up so much of my time I’ve not watched more than 30 minutes of TV for the last week and a half, and even then it was on mute while I listened to music before going to bed. I’m reading Blue Bloods right now, and I’ve fallen in lover with it already. In the second chapter of the book there’s mention of a Drag Queen and a little tirade on draconian non-smoking laws in NY. God, I fucking hate the North East, you can’t even smoke in a bar for God’s sake! I miss the days of smoking and non-smoking sections in restaurants, where I wouldn’t have to be seated outside and suffer the elements so that you precious non-smokers wouldn’t be inconvenienced.

I have this thing where I have to own any book I’ve ever read, even if it was a bad book (school books excluded). Well, I’ve been good about buying all the books I’ve rented from the library and there were only a couple left on my list to get, so I bought them yesterday. Now I own any book I’ve read that isn’t school related… and I am kind of disappointed at the size of my collection. I also buy books faster than I can read them and my bookshelf is more than crowded at the moment.

This is my fifth Fall semester in college, my fourth at Florida International University, and it astounds my how packed FIU has gotten. This year FIU admitted half as many freshman than they did last year and the main building was even more packed then I ever remember it. Of course, two weeks from now there will be much less people around (people drop classes, drop out, etc.) but for the time being it’s ridiculous. My friend was looking for parking for about a half an hour and gave up and went home… it’s that bad.

My first day was… blah. Nothing out of the ordinary, just class. So far none of my classes have assigned me anything, but that’ll change this Wednesday I’m sure. None of them seem particularly hard, but I just need to keep up and make sure to pass and not drop any of them, because doing so will prolong my already late graduation date.

The classes I’m taking are:

Religious Life & Vegetarianism (taught by a Janist nun!! How amazing is that!)
Ancient & Medieval Political Theory
Anthropological Theory
Social Choice Math

Anthropological Theory is at North campus, so I take an FIU bus over there and it only takes about 40 minutes. I like the ride, it’s quiet and gives me more time to read. Speaking of reading, Breaking Dawn is down-right amazing. Don’t worry, I wont give anything away, but omg what DRAMA. I’m more than half way done, and these little bus rides will hopefully help me finnish by Wednesday, so I can start on another teen vampier story Blue Bloods. I’m so gay.

Alright, so maybe they jammed a little too much, but they were still amazing. They mostly played songs off other their new album, Zeitgeist, but they added a few faves like Bullet with Butterfly Wings, Tonight Tonight, Cherub Rock and a couple of other well-known singles. There was a weird rendition of Heavy Metal Machine that they played, which I didn’t like because the original is my favorite song off of their Machina album. They ended it kind of weird, starting off by just jamming for a good twenty minutes, then coming back for an encore that consisted of childish songs I can’t remember, but it was cute.

My favorite part was when Billy brought his niece on stage and sang “Once Upon a Time” from their Adore album. Video below:

All in all, I’d say it was the best concert I’ve ever been to, which isn’t saying much because I’ve only ever bee to three including this one. I will say this: out of Marilyn Manson, Cher and Billy, Billy is the only one who sounds exactly the same live as he does on his albums.

I have more vids, which I’ll post after the cut. Bare with me, my camera is kind of shitty, my hands are shaky, but the sound is pretty good.

So, there’s a scene in the upcoming film College Move that has the main characters visiting a gay fraternity house. The fraternity’s name is Lambda Lambda Phi… hummmm, doesn’t that look a lot like DELTA LAMBDA PHI???

College Movie - Gay Frat Party red-band clip

Last night was interesting enough. Adam and George bailed on the supposed party which then turned into a little get-together consisting of Sean, Joanny, Diego, Daniel, Gerald and myself. I got in drag, of course, and after thirty minutes of Gerald ignoring his guests by being on the phone–I swear, that boy is worse than a 16 year-old! she never puts it down–and Diego and Daniel (dating, once again, after breaking up for the millionth time; they’re worse than my ex and I) each playing pokemon on their DSs, Sean, Joanny and I went out to buy some alcohol.

We went to Tivoli’s liquor store near FIU, which is known for not checking IDs and having people who loiter outside and try to peddle drugs. I got the balls to go in, dressed as a woman, and believe it or not, I wasn’t shot! Yeah, the only people who seemed to stare were the women (whom I assume all knew I was a boy in girl clothes). The guys avoided looking at me at all costs and even held the door open for me when I was leaving. What gentlemen!

Oh, and in case you’ve ever been curious as to what my friends and I talk about at our little shindigs, here’s a five minute video I uploaded to YouTube. We’re just shooting the shit, talking about Barbie, Jesus and Racist America:

I’m gonna miss her so very much. I can’t believe this is going to be her last album (but I can believe it). The article says her last album will be with Hole… but I’m not entirely convinced. Regardless, Dirty Harry is pretty fucking hot in the interview and Ms. Love is fabulous as always.

EDIT: So, seeing as how there was no concert tonight and I haven’t had a drink or a hit in over a week, I’m heading over to Adam’s place for a little get together with my DLP brothers. That should be fun. I’m bringing my drag clothes with me, too. I really need some more pieces, I wear the same two outfits over and over again. The other two girl outfits I have don’t fit me anymore (I weight 30 pounds less when I last wore them, almost two years ago).

So, as it turns out, Fay is just a pussy of a tropical storm. The only thing going on to suggest there’s even a tropical storm hovering over South Florida is the wind, which isn’t even that bad. We’re used to the rain in the summer, and it really didn’t downpour, it just steadily rained all of last night. All this being said, I’m assuming The Smashing Pumpkins concert is still on for tonight and I can’t fucking wait.

I came across the most interesting article the other day that deals with gay sex sites and politics. Seems like a homo can’t even go on his favorite sites to cruise (manhunt.net, adam4adam.com) without having politics somehow involved. I first noticed this when I logged into my adam4adam account a couple of days ago and noticed there was an ad for Obama underneath your typical sex toy and porno ads. Then I saw this on homotron.net: apparently the founder of manhunt.net tried to donate to McCain and was turned down… surprise surprise!

EDIT: I was literally out the door heading for the concert when I received and email on my sidekick from some kind person who read my blog and told me the Pumpkins concert was rescheduled for this Thursday. Thank god he told me, my friend and I were this close to flooring it up to Boca Raton (a good two hour drive).

This bitch Fay better not fuck up my chances of seeing The Smashing Pumpkins tomorrow. I’m serious! If it’s canceled I’ll shit a brick and freak out. In order to keep my mind from the concert’s possible cancellation I’ve been trying to change themes on my website and incorporate all the old content to the new design. It’s a generic design from one of those free theme sites whose code I intend to alter in the near future, but I’m just too lazy to do it now and I really needed a new look to my blog.

Added some new things like my latests Tweets and a mini slid show on the sidebar, which I think is cute, but I have to do something with the color scheme and maybe make a nice design for the header. Ever since I stopped using my old Paint Shop Pro 7 and tried using other programs (like gimp or a pirated copy of Photoshop) I’ve given up hope of ever being able to use anything but PSP7. Gimp and PS just piss me off and I’m not entirely familiar with all the toll bars and whatnot (even though they’re almost the same as PSP7) but all the extra options and things kind of confuse me and put me off. I guess I just don’t like change and too many options…

I’m done reading Twilight and I just finished New Moon this morning, so now I’m on to Eclipse. I’ve had all day to sit and read but for some reason I’ve only gotten as far as page four. Maybe I’ve had a gooshy-vampire-romance-overdose in the last three days? Possibly, but I really did enjoy reading the first two books in the series, so it doesn’t make sense why I’d not be as excited to burn through the third book as I was with the others. We’ll see, maybe I’m just in some sort of a rut.

I have chosen the absolutely best day to start reading Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight. It’s one of those dark and rainy days with bursts of thunder and lightning and non-stop drizzle. The rain puts me in Bella’s shoes as she adjusts to her new life in the small town of Forks, Washington state. I’m a sucker for vampire novels and so far I’ve managed to stay interested–more than interested, a little obsessed, really.

There’s all this talk about how this series rivals that of the Harry Potter franchise, but I wouldn’t go that far. Ms. Rowling created an entire world and mythology/history that I haven’t come across in this series. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking the book(s) or trying to imply that Ms. Meyer lacks originality or creativity, I haven’t even read the entire first book to write a proper critique, this is just the impression I’m getting after reading only 90 pages.

In other news: I have a new affiliate! His name is Ethan and he’s a gay blogger/web designer. I really haven’t come across many gay armature bloggers. Five years ago, with my first domain (liquid-engineer.org) I found a bunch of gay guys with domains that blogged and whatnot, now I see mostly heterosexual women and a few straight men here and there. Wonder what happened to all the queers.
