Sorry I haven't posted for a while, but I've been busy. Not much has changed, but some things are different. I went to Girls Rock and Roll Retreat, which is always fun. I met some really cool people, and have a lot more confidence in my singing ability now. Plus, I can be a Junior Counselor next year, which is super cool. 

I also started to read some more Chuck Palahniuk books. They're very adult, but I can get beyond some of that stuff to enjoy their literary worth. I recently read Snuff, which is a novel about a record-breaking porn film. There was a lot of disgusting sexual stuff in the book that I could have done without, but it all was relevant to the book (not just fanservice) and there was a lot of worth beyond it. It was good, but very strange. When you finish one of his books, you get this strange feeling that is basically your brain saying, "What the hell just happened?"

Shameless Plug

So I'm sittin' here at YRU-UP, and I found some extra time on my hands. So I decided that I would reference something, and then tell you about it. Step one: complete. YRU-UP is a public access show in Bloomington, MN. It's primarily a call in show, with skits from the current and previous casts. The show has been around for seventeen years, and it's run by high schoolers. I've been a cast member for about five months now, and I love it. The show is on at 12:30 on Friday nights, hence the name. But if you don't live in Bloomington, there is live webstreaming, so you can watch it on your computer. We also have a website. If you find yourself up that late on a Friday night, try watching. You just might enjoy it!

I should start a combination book club/fight club. We would pick a book, talk about it, and afterward, we would beat the crap out of each other. This would provide an easy alibi when someone asks where you're going (book club,) and could satisfy mind and body. We could even talk about the book while we're pounding the shit out of each other. Of course our first book wouldn't be fight club. Too obvious. Who wants to join a book club? That sounds boring. But a book club/fight club? Instant entertainment.
