Pretty Lights

Tonight will be the ultimate test of self control as I will attend a Pretty Lights concert with just me, myself, and I. To be honest, I'm not even worried about it, since the only way to drink at the concert is to purchase $12 Bud Lights and I'm wearing tight, high waisted shorts and cannot handle such bloating. The pregame situation might be more difficult, seeing that it is at a fraternity house with many people I know. The great thing about being around people who are already drinking is that they are fairly oblivious to anything not concerning them (i.e. the fact that my hands are empty).

After three years at a boarding school I have no doubt mastered the fun-having skills sans liquor. In fact, there were multiple nights where a friend of mine came up to me recommending I go back to dorms so I didn't get caught. If only they knew I was sober and naturally a weird kid.

Classes have been going on since Tuesday, so not too many people have been going out. I've made it a point to make the library part of my daily routine so I don't fall into the slump of not working. Yesterday I planned on doing reading in my bed and opened my eyes 2 hours later.... problem. I quickly made all my roommates swear to slap me if they ever heard me say I was about to do homework in my bed. Working in the house itself is pretty easy, since there are quiet rooms and tables where at any given time a few girls are reading or working on their computer.

I've talked to a few people who say they are not going to Pretty Lights this year because they "already went last year." Uhhhhhh, that's WHY I'm going this year. They are positively amazing live, and there is something to be said for the ridiculous people that attend these shindigs.

I will send Part II of this post tomorrow morning with a final update of the night.
