He's Moving Away

So for the past week, I have been living up in Wolfeboro, NH... approximately 90 miles (and one left turn) away from my job. I've finally left the craziness that is the Cooper household, and along with my high gas bill comes a strange satisfaction.

I'm beginning to think I may be slightly insane. My sense of ambition seems almost delirious sometimes... I commute an hour and a half in spite of my family every time I go to work, and I'm only 20 (well.. I'll be 20 in 20 days... bear with me here).

I also recently found out that SSC has dismissed me as a student. Woohoo. Now I have to write a strongly worded letter to their offices to appeal that decision. So far, it sounds as though it's THEM making the mistake. Time will tell though....

What to say...

I don't even know.

I'm moving to New Hampshire because my family is nuts.

This is the truth.

That is all. Come visit.


.....Bring beverages.

Tendonitis..... and L5Y!

So I am currently typing on a computer with an arm splint on my right wrist. Fun!! I have tendonitis from A.) Playing the piano and B.) typing on the computer.

Now normally, I would refrain from both. HOWEVER... I am a piano major in college, and I work on a computer 8 hours a day at work. So basically I'm screwed, because I can't exactly give up either one to let my wrists heal.

Sounds fun huh?

So now for some exciting news. Everyone should come see "The Last Five Years" by Jason Robert Brown on June 28th. I am accompanying the beautiful Lauren Elena Drapek and Tim O'Donnell in this beautifully written musical. Here's the synopsis:

"An emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The show's unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show. JRB won Drama Desk Awards for the music and the lyrics after the Off-Broadway premiere in 2002 starring Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott. The show has since been produced at almost every major regional theater in the US, and has been seen in Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Germany, Italy, Canada, and Spain."


So basically, if my wrist ever heals to practice the score, you don't wanna miss it!

And that's all for now.

Derelinquite Omnem Spem Quicunque Hinc Ingrediuntur

"Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here"

I just wanted to post about how it is SO FLIPPIN HOT outside. my fan is just not cutting it right now. I would play piano downstairs where it's cool, but I think I'm getting tendonitis from doing that too much.

Stay out of the heat. Drink some water. Or beer.

I don't judge....

Summertime... and things that are shit.

So I've been thinking lately how excited I was for the summer to start and all and how now, summer is finally here, and you know what?

It totally blows.

So far at least.

I remember back when summer meant three months of total bliss, family vacations, time spent outdoors and by the pool, good friends and good times. Not to mention my June birthday. Now it seems, summer is just another seaseon we rotate through our 3m slide viewer of life. Just another slightly prettier season to look at during my commute to work.

But wait, my car still has no air conditioner.

Which brings me to my next topic, things that are pieces of shit that I am spending hundreds of monthly dollars on. Like my car. I have a very nice, fairly new vehicle. Considering I am a student, it's pretty much as nice as I can get at my age. The only thing that was wrong when I bought it, was a small leak in the air conditioner.

Here is the car:

But the car is not the piece of crap, it's the warranty on it. Because the warranty was going to cover said leak, and now, they will not. This being the same warranty company that agreed to replace my engine for free. Sure, replace my engine with another, non compatible engine from a different car.

Brilliance.

I spend 50% more on my monthly payments to pay these people for their service. And while paying them, I spent roughly a month and a half... INCLUDING finals week at school, WITHOUT transportation. Oh sure, the company provides me with a rental car. Oh WAIT I am not OLD enough to rent a car. So I would expect my car back in a timely manner. Instead it goes something like this:


Me: So, I've been about a month without a car, so are you gonna supply me with alternative transport?

Insurance: Nah, dude, you ain't 25 so you're screwed...

Me: So... can I get my car back?

Insurance: ......well no. We installed an 02 Ford Taurus engine in your '01 Mercury Sable and expected it to work. So we're gonna give you your car back and let it die on you in the middle of an intersection, so that you can bring it BACK and have it worked on for another two weeks.


I didn't pay those bastards another cent. I had the garage do the work that should have been done before they let it die a second time.

And I am reminded how much I hate summer and how my car STILL has no air conditioning.

And So It Goes....

So I thought I'd start this off as another way for me to act shamelessly self-indulgent over the internet. A sort of way to take all these thoughts and shitty song lyrics and reasonings on life floating around my absurd mind and toss them at a semi captive audience.

Hooray!

And if you are wondering if I'm going to trash people on here and hold them hostage to my own brand of sardonic wit behind the semi obscure veil of the internet, well... I wasn't planning on it. Just don't piss me off. :)

I guess that's all for my first post.
