Toms River has decided it wants to be more like Siberia, and right now I'm looking out my window at 18+ inches of snow that doesn't show any signs of stopping. I can't wait to illegally drink some whiskey and go sledding tomorrow behind a church. I would have gone tonight, but snow whipping in your face is a brutal, brutal thing to willingly experience and my brutal-tolerance is not quite that high.

Flist! It's been a while. And in that while, I received some very lovely snowflake cookie v-gifts, which makes this real snow and real cookies that were made today all the more sweeter. Thank you. ♥

And also in that while, I have since become River City Extension's official street team manager, which is neat and also kind of intimidating. Basically I'll be updating various sites they have accounts on and promoting their new album that will be released in April and any subsequent shows before then. And I'm good at that stuff! I like thinking of ways to make things more appealing, and this is right up my alley. But it's also nerve wracking for various reasons, because I know there are things I need to get done and that will eat my time, but am not given vital information to get those things done, but I don't want to be annoying and bug him. Ugh. Also having to think of ways to promote the album and like.. actually creating a street team with actual people. That I'm not quite sure how to go about, but the internet is handy and so is reading articles about FBR. FBR/Decaydance are fucking fabulous models for promotion and the like. Eventually after this Christmas show on the 23rd that is also functioning as their tour fundraiser (which means I will be busy. SO busy during that show), I'll be able to get something concrete out of their manager and the label and won't be floundering so much. Hopefully.

And I realize the amount of conflict of interest here, but I am completely ignoring it and going to keep ignoring it until I can figure out my shit. (And by figuring my shit out I mean making a mean 21 song playlist and wallowing). </heartdisclaimer>

Sidetracking here, but my dog is the cutest. Before when I was shoveling a path for her, I let her out, and we started playing with the snow. I would make snowballs and she'd think they were like real balls and would jump up and catch them and be so confused when they disintegrated in her mouth, hahaha.

You know what's weird? Because of this street team thing, I'm like, doing my homework and shit. I spent today finishing up two assignments; though, to be honest, there's not much else I could have done considering I am literally snowed in. Well, that's a lie. I did back read this blog/ and thoroughly enjoyed that trek.

Sidetrack B: I'm really glad Greta Salpeter is continuing to make my ears happy, which is a marginally creepy way of saying hot damn do I love her music and her new EP is pretty fantastic.

eta:hatedforlove, love you, sweetie. Hang in there. ♥

Hello there, sweetvaliumhigh readers. It's been a while. Anyway, I am here to inform you that Charlotte has just announced via her twitter page that her EP will be released February 1st of next year. This is great news! Along with the release date, she posted an image from a photoshoot for the EP. It can be seen here. The title and tracklist for the EP are currently unknown, but some songs we can expect are "Call Me Up", and "Oo Love". Another possibility is "Everybody knows Better". We'll have to wait until next February to see!

i'm afraid my ribs might crack for my heart is too big for its cage. it is bruised and inflamed from all the things it has been shamed for loving holding neglecting.
float on, huck. may the river bring you downstream, may the river lead you away. may the river never be so dirty that it can't wash your filthiest sins from their hiding place.
