    I'm eighteen, baby! And! I has accordion and knowledge!

    Man, so much has been going on I just haven't had the time to post here in a while! My sincere apologies, if anyone checks this. Again. Yes. But, s'riously. Here's a list of things that have happened in the past few months:

• I saw They Might Be Giants twice. The one in Lancaster in July with my Uncle and Aunt and then again in Pittsburgh (which was AMAZING, by the way) on November 15th. Zyzzy and I got there exceptionally early and heard soundcheck. Erika, Colleen, and Justine showed up a little late 'cause Millvale couldn't be more confusing. And we were practically on top of the stage. Oppenheimer opened for the Giants and we talked to 'em a bit after the show. Very nice guys, very very nice. (Can you say AIRHORN solo? That just about won all of my respect for the evening.) The Giants came on and my group and I had an orgasm and a half—each. We were placed directly in front of the Roland (and MAIN SQUEEEEZE!) and John Linnell was giving us the strangest looks. As well as his setlist—THAT I GOT TO TAKE HOME. Marty Beller gave Justine his drumsticks and Danny Weinkauf signed John Linnell's setlist for me. Oh, and Flansburgh almost fell on us during "The Famous Polka". If you want more info, please ask. I can't think. The whole thing seems like an utter dream...
• I have a radio show. With Adam Greenfield of Writerscafe.org fame. We've joined the Cult Vault, a fast growing organization striving to promote all the great great great shows of creative output on BlogTalkRadio. I think you should check out the show. As well as the other members of the Cult Vault. It is really great stuff, man.
• I've written a billion things. And all are up on the Writer's Cafe. (This may or may not include half of a destined TmbG fanfic. Do not blame me. My perversions are unkempt. But you'll probably like it. Unless you're Them, then I am sincerely sorry—then again, I wouldn't mind having fanfiction about me...slash fiction even... Think of it a-as a joke, yes.)
• I has a accordion. And continually choose to talk in baby-speak when I discuss it. I've learned a ton on it with the help of Jeanne! Currently, I'm trying to master "Valse d'Amelie" (Yann Tiersen). I've been teaching myself smidgens of They Might Be Giants songs, such as "Older" (yes), "I Palindrome I", "Ana Ng", "Experimental Film", "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)", the bellow shake in "Subliminal"... I'm working on it. I want to be an accordion masta.
• I have a job. At Kings Family Restaurant. I have money now.
• I got into Shippensburg University. So now I have a future!
• I still have not worked on writing that new book. But I'm getting there.

    That's about all I can think of for now but it all pales in comparison to the fact that I can now go into porn shops.

    Thank joo, thank joo.
    Come back soon!

        Luffink-joo,
