2 MONTHS TWO LONG

Well, I guess I got sort of frustrated with this thing with exams and what not. But after two months hooray I'm back!! A few updates... FINALLY LEFT JIMS STEAK OUT. If your reading this and are considering getting a job there, please don't. And my internship at Hallwalls art gallery is going pretty awesome. It is awesome to be able to see all the wonderful programs that they go on there because I know that I would not have went there if I didn't really have to, but from now on I know that it is totally worth it to start seeing as much art as possible. And there is more than enough to keep my busy in Buffalo, which is so awesome. The exhibit that is up in the gallery now is SEIZED and its really amazing and intriguing and worth the trip downtown to check it out, and it's free which is always a plus. On tuesday night we got some pretty sweet stuff in the cinema and obviously I'll be there as well so.....

New job at Dollar Tree is awesome, who knew working for a corporation could be so great. You get breaks, and lunches, and no one bitches at you for wanting a day off, and I get like every third sunday off and I work awesome hours and make awesome money. And my manager is sweet and I got hired as an assistant manager which is even better. I am getting closer to my dream job haha, well maybe not a lot closer, but closer none the less.

And remember when I have been reading like crazy? This summer I have read (forgive me for not adding the authors im feeling lazy but if you google them I'm sure they won't be hard to find and some are obvious)
God is Dead
Snuff ( New Chuck!!!)
Anthem
A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas
A Million Little Pieces (IT'S NOT ON MY BOOK SHELLF SOMEONE STOLE IT)

All of then were good, I guess I don't feel like much of a book reviewer right now. I will say a few things, Snuff amazed me, Decade was not what I expected but was really good as well, I kind of idolize Klosterman and his writing technique, and everyone needs to get of a million little pieces, I don't care what that guy "lied"about if half of it is true thats amazing,and if it is all a lie it is still a pretty good book. I have about a 60 dollar book order coming from Amazon which is a lot of books since half of them were like three dollars so hooray for maybe some book reviews in the future.

Well wow Rachel why have you been reading so much?

Does Buffalo seem to be going through some changes to anyone else or is it just me. I know about two people right now that hate Buffalo so much, they just bought plane tickets and left for the rest of the summer, only returning in fall because they have to for school. Now I suppose I can understand it is hard to make friends in a new place, especially if you don't really know that many people. And I used to believe that Buffalo really was a friendly place and everyone could make friends or find a scene that you were into. But apparently that isn't true anymore. Perhaps it is just the age my friends are at, but I can't ever find someone who wants to hang out that isn't going to a bar, which I am not old enough for, or going to a bonfire/party, at someone's house in amherst where their parents are home which I am just not into, or maybe to old for. what is so wrong with going out to dinner or watching a movie etc etc. why does everything have to be about drinking all the time? And you know what it isn't even that really. It is the fact that people who I thought were my close friends will just ditch me to go drink in some kids backyard. I don;t see the appeal of that, and I would much rather stay in they city and not travel past my own suburb, which is why I cherish living right next to Buffalo so very much. So because I can't seem to make any new friends because apparently Buffalo is now the city with the most cliques and if you don't have a v neck or ride a fixed gear you have no friends, and because my old friends are off sneaking sips of beer next to bonfires in the woods, or they are just older than me and actually having fun, I'm stuck at home, reading, which isn't so bad I guess. But what is it going to take to make everyone fall in love with Buffalo as much as I have? Most kids come in from the suburbs for the square and then leave, when there is so much to do. And I already know the answer to this, but are people every just going to be fucking nice to each other and say hey maybe they don't look like a crazy ass hipster, but they might be cool anyways. Honestly I hate that I am saying this, but I can not wait to go back to UB and restart my life living in that stupid little city they created on North Campus surrounded by people who hate going downtown unless to drink. At least then I will be able to pick and choose who is worth hanging out with and have some what of a social life hanging out with the kids who think they are artists in my film studies and art history classes. And at least I will be able to see all of my friends who still live at home and live what seems like 1000 miles away but is actually just a 20 min. drive to amherst or GI. Especially with gas prices no one wants to go any where unless they know they are going to have fun ie get drunk. There's no more lets just hang out everything has to be a big production with drama and all that nonsense. I suggest when I move out all of my friends just live with me so we can hang out all the time, or we get scooters 100m/gallon OMG!!!!!!!!!!1111
