New Haven
October 13th, 2010
Today we are in New Haven, CT
I am currently logged onto the internet network known as YaleGuest and I feel like a imposter. Lets face it kids, I was never going to make it to Yale (for starters its too far away from Cardiff) but I can wonder around the campus with the Jean Paul Satre gift someone foolishly gave me and pretend for a while cant I? I wont ever read Satre, i know my limits, but I figure intelligence works like osmosis, the knowledge from the other students and the book will collectively seep through my pores, into my brain and give me the ability to wax lyrical about all things post (modernism, structuralism, anarcism, secret etc)
Anyway, tour continues to chug along nicely with a lovely couple of days being spent in Philadelphia in which we went to the indoor food market, The Mutter Museum (conjoined twins in jars!) and saw Perfume Genius in a tiny chapel framed by thunder and lightning.
We performed in Johnny Brenda’s on a incredibly impractical stage and my increasingly chirpy mood was nearly threatened by a man shouting out “You looked better when you were Blonde!” at me whilst I was tuning up. I thought about explaining to him that blonde hair was really expensive and hard to upkeep but i figured that would be a really long retort so i settled with “I liked you better when you had hair,” because he was bald.
This was cheap a shot and didn’t even make much sense because we had never met before, but I had to say something to combat the fact he thought his comment was an okay thing to shout at me.
I continued tuning up and he added “your still hot though,” so I felt better about pointing out the fact he was bald.
He did try and buy me a drink afterwards to apologize, but he still seemed confused as to why I didn’t appreciate his commentary on my evolving style. Whilst I do not care whether this man preferred having masturbatory fantasies over me when I had bleach in my hair, I still get slightly thrown by such a comment, I am as insecure as the next person and sometimes I am not in the mood for that kind of rudeness (especially before a show).
I liked being blonde, I like being a brunette but I do my hair for myself, not for anyone else (apart from maybe Tyra Banks if I was on ANTM) and just because I am on a elevated platform in front of you (that stage was really high) does not mean you have more of a right to shout something negative at me.
Dick.
Rant over, anger out, now I can concentrate on happier things like new episodes of HIMYM
Anyway below is some pictures of some stuff from the last couple of days, including us on a bus, hope everyone is okay and that

🐲,💩,🎱,💯, and 🙉
🐲 Resident Evil 5, REmake, Alan Wake, The Order 1886, Final Fantasy X, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Uncharted 2, Pokemon Y, and more recently OVERWATCH. Like goddamn, it’s eaten me alive, lol.
💩 Either amounting to nothing or reptiles...I’m terrified of all lizards and snakes. Unless they’re that SOLID Snake.
🎱 Grey’s Anatomy, Orphan Black, Boardwalk Empire, Kitchen Nightmares, and ANTM. The Tyra years, I never watched the Rita Ora season. Supernatural WOULD have been here, but it went to shit and fast.
💯 Geez, idk, lol! I always feel odd when I get gifts unless they’re from family or really close friends. I’m grateful, but never know how to show that gratitude. Probably gonna say the few scholarships I got in art school, though. Not that they helped me much.
🙉 I got $60 to my name right now. Needs to be payday!
