Winter's here!

UPS

2008-11-06T11:52:00.000-08:00

Well now I'm just waiting for the UPS guy to give me my phone. I have this weird feeling that the minute I go downstairs to put my laundry in, he's gonna come and ring the bell. I really need a phone cuz I need to call Grant! Big Knife is playing a show tonight at the Hideout, and it should be really awesome.

Mmm-hmm

List of things I need:

2008-11-03T13:23:00.000-08:00

-Money
-"Let It Bleed" (I don't have this??)
-Socks for the winter, which is coming
-Drugs
-A different photo department at a different school
-new bumper for Vlad
-cell phone

Yes, I lost my cell phone. Piece of shit anyways, but it feels awful not having one.

Let's have fun now!

Love, Libby

The White Album?

But seriously, folks, this is showing at the Music Box tonight:

But I have too much work to do. I could even go for free! But I have this dilemma. Boo hoo.

What should I do?

Skipped class tonight

Found out I have to read a 500 page book by Monday and write five pages on it. Now, if I went to a real school that has homework that isn't carving wood and taking pictures, this might not be a big deal. My sister did this kind of stuff all the time in college, and so did my brother. My mom read 4000 pages a week and wrote 5000 pages on them. But to me, this sounds like the worst thing that could happen to anyone ever. Plus I went to the library today, picked the books I needed out, went to the check-out desk, and realized I didn't have my library card. So I am not reading it right now, and I feel like every moment counts!

In other news, I'm writing a paper on road trips and I realized I think I wanna start saving money to go on a really long road trip after I graduate. Maybe buy a twin-lens or something and drive to New Orleans, taking a really long time. You know, like in between graduating and moving back to Kansas City to save money for a little bit. Money's tight.

That's another thing I think I've realized I'm gonna have to do. I thought I'd want to move South right after school, but I'm realizing I'd rather live in KC and play in bands with people I had planned to before I moved away. Finish some business. Make some money. Have a dog. Take 'er easy. That sounds goddamn amazing.

I'm coming home for Thanksgiving! I can't wait!

Love, Libby

I hate to be so vague

2008-10-19T01:27:00.001-07:00

I've been realizing that recently I hate a lot more people, more than I even knew I was capable of. Certainly more than ever before. People walking on the street, people at my school, how people portray themselves on the internet (woooop!), etc. I know why, of course, and it makes me really fuckin angry. But because of that, and at the same time, I'm able to really appreciate the people in my life even more. Maybe even more than I used to.

Life is way better now that I know what's going on again. I feel like I do!

Remember to act right, fuck-o's!

Love, Libby

Hey!

2008-08-30T00:52:00.001-07:00

Did you know that Kansas City rules? I conquered the city today and it feels great.

I AM SICK OF THIS SHIT

2008-08-29T00:14:00.001-07:00

ACT RIGHT.

-Aggro Libby

Life is so weird.

Chicks suck. Why do they have to keep proving that to me?

Going home and playing a show with Crap Corps, and having my best friends visit Chicago, is exactly what I needed. I really wish Megan coulda come, too. The Kaijo burger from Kuma's is my favorite so far, (bleu cheese, bacon, and frizzled onions) and I watched Alex almost cry because of the macaroni & cheese we shared. I felt that, man. I felt that. And i went in the lake for the first time.

I have the very greatest best friends in the world. I am so lucky. I have been learning life lessons left and right over the past few months, and I can't say it's fun. But it certainly has made me feel more grown up. Yeah, like THAT is ever fucking fun. Damn it. But good things come with the bad, so it's not exactly a shit storm. But it's never ACTUALLY a shit storm, is it? Nothing is fucked here.

Anyway, I'm in California with my family and it's been pretty fun so far. My Opa is the greatest. In fact, my entire family pretty much rules. Once again, I am so lucky. My Opa helps me remember to keep my head on straight, remember who I am.

And in the words of Destiny's Child, I am not the one to sit around and be played.

P.S.- I am reading WAYLON: An Autobiography. It is also inspiring me beyond belief. Ain't it funny how life works?

P.P.S.- HOLY SHIT Big Knife is playing with PIERCED ARROWS on October 11th at the Empty Bottle!!! Fred and Toody will be watching us with their own eyes! ALL KC PEOPLE MUST JOIN MEGAN WILLIAMS ON THE MEGABUS FOR THE SWEETEST BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION EVER! You can all stay at my place! Seriously! Come here!

Just remember:

Nothing is fucked, here.

Nothing is fucked.

Hey my soul band had our first show and it was off the chain!!! I am so fucking excited. This week is pretty busy for me. Last night was that show, and Big Knife is playing two shows. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I am so fucking excited.

Also, my phone charger is lost as fuck so if you're trying to get ahold of me, tough luck. It's a huge bummer because today was my day to call people: Danni, Anus, my Oma, my pop. Important people. So, DP, my grandmother, Anna St. Louis, and my father, I'm sorry I cannot call you now. But I'll say hi here. And I'll call you whenever I get a new phone charger. It's weird to realize how dependent on a phone I am now that it's gone. Ya know?

Sorry this blog is so retarded. Wait, no I'm not!

I love you all!

KICK OUT THE CORN NUTS

That road trip was the SHIT. I had such a great time, and Vlad made it the entire way. Ran like a dream. Boo ya. I finally went to Cracker Barrel. Fucking finally. I got meatloaf and macaroni and cheese and corn and applesauce. WHAT?! And we stopped and stayed in Nashville on the way back for a night. Remember how I got so many sweet country records in Nashville? Well that certainly did happen. I spent around $100 on records and I came home with quite a little bundle of sweet finds. I'm so excited about all of them. I feel like I did a good job of only buying things I couldn't find through Reckless.

Speaking of funds, I gotta get another part time job to make staying in Chicago worth it this summer. Hopefully I can get a barista job at some shitty coffee place so I don't feel bad about quitting at the end of the summer. Even two shifts a week would be awesome. Naomi said she could find me a badass seasonal job for the summer. I really hope that works. She hooked Hazel up so hard with such a rad job, it'd be cool if she could find one for me, too.

Man, I gotta save some serious money now if I wanna go on another road trip anytime in the next six months. And I think you know I do. I especially wanna go home as soon as possible. I want to see all you dudes with my own eyes.

I'ma goin to this with my van and some people: www.bamalamafest.com

GOODBYE CHICAGO!

HELLO HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA!

xo!

Fuck, dude.

2008-06-02T10:57:00.000-07:00

I heard Rorschach for the first time last night and it was way brutal. I also heard Crossed Out and I think I liked that even better. What the hell, dude? Why hadn't I ever listened to them before? Big mistake.

Anna told me she finally got the Flying Burrito Brothers "Gilded Palace of Sin" and it made me miss her a lot. I miss all my ladies. I gotta go home this summer at some point.

Love, Libby "Ugly Dudes" Zanders

PS- I want a pitbull puppy, too. Never forget.

2008-05-26T15:00:00.000-07:00

I love my van so much. I love that it's finally getting warm around here. Chicago feels like a pretty rad place to be in the summer, even though I really wanna go home for the summer, too. I've been having a great time smoking on my roof, watching thunderstorms on my back porch, listening to girl group records. It's been fucking fantastic.

I really need people from KC to visit me this summer. Come on! Megabus is cheap as fuck.

Love, Libby "Real Tears" Zanders

2008-05-21T18:04:00.001-07:00

Goodness gracious, things are getting real around here. I have a beautiful summer ahead of me, folks!

I got the Seeds s/t LP from work and it is so beautiful. I also finally got a copy of Kill 'Em All. It's still on my hold shelf, though, which is overflowing. I need to keep that shit in line. I may sometimes bitch about my job, but it's times like these that make me so happy I have it.

I went to the goddamn Grand Canyon with my mom and grandma on an old person trip! You know, with trolley rides and dinner at 5 and bedtime no later than 8:30. All of it. It was so fantastic. I made a lot of friends, although I think most of the seniors thought I was crazy. "Now, how old are you again?" That's right, world. I'm twenty.

I've been smoking a lot, eating really good food, and relaxing. Bamalama is in two weeks and I cannot wait. I need a long road trip right now, and Big Knife might be playing at an after party one of the nights. Drugs, dude. Drugs.

Remember when Hazel got so smashed at Big Knife's second show that we couldn't play? That's right, we're already working on our Behind the Music. Sh'boo ya.

<3

PS- I just found out I passed all my classes. I can't believe how much I shit the bed this semester. What a relief!

Oh shit

2008-05-01T20:20:00.000-07:00

So I'm starting to realize I really need to smoke less weed. I used to be so productive. Now look at me. I'm a mess.

Hey, I watched Down By Law the other night and I thought it was fantastic. So beautiful. I need to take more photos. Or, actually, I need to take pictures with different cameras. I only used two cameras this semester: my broke-ass Holga, and my SLR. There is no excuse for me to still be using the same cameras I used in high school. What the hell am I going to this fancy ass school for? We have so many fucking cameras I could check out, but noooooo, I have to have my pictures come from a shitty plastic camera. So silly. Next semester will be better. I'll be in the second half of my school experience, so no excuses!

Love,
Libby "Say What You See" Zanders

I'm gonna do it

I did it!
