Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

I went to my creative writing class last night, and talked to my Guns N Roses friend. All I had to say when he came in was, "Did you hear!" And he was like, "Oh yeah. Tickets cost $250." And I was like.. "oh." So that makes me feel a little better.. if they were like $75 or something, then I'd get them and then worry about getting there later. But $250.. that's insane.

We critiqued one of the stories GN'R Boy wrote. It was absoultly beautiful. I couldn't find one thing wrong with it. He wrote about lesbians! It was just an awesome story. It makes me wish the semester was longer so I could get to know him better.

Speaking of boys I'd like to get to know better, I almost got to eat lunch with Math Boy on Monday! Isn't that exciting?!

Well, I went to Subway for my Turkey sub. I was in the crowded line when two people from my journalism class come in. We exchange pleasantries, and the wheels start turning in my mind. This one girl, whom is an aquaintance yet maybe friend at some point in time, is Math Boy's roommate. I heard her say that she usually gets one sandwich and she shares it with him. I stuck around a few minutes to see if she was going to eat there, so I could kinda sneak in and talk to her maybe about him, but she left. And I was sad. Because that would have been a good opportunity.

A real man would not shoplift the pootie from a single mother.

Thanks to all the nice people who signed my guestbook, offering me words of encouragement. When I look at it from a distance, everything really isn't such a big deal. Maybe the boyfriend thing isn't, but good lord.. he said he wasn't going to talk to me for a month! That's not exactly mature. And I even emailed him (since he blocked me on IM! Can you imagine! Is that what four years gets a person these days?) and told him about the concert, and he couldn't give a flying fuck, even though he said if there was ever a concert anywhere even in the vicinity (which Las Vegas really isn't but whatever) then we'd go. So he sucks.

Here is an article from MTV News.

New Year's Eve might as well be Guns N' Roses Day. In Las Vegas, anyway.

When January 1, 2002, hits, Axl Rose's band will have played four shows in the last eight years — three of them in Sin City and two of them on New Year's Eve.

Guns N' Roses announced Tuesday (December 4) they will play two shows at the Joint in Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on December 29 and 31. Tickets, which range from $162.50 to $275, go on sale Saturday at noon PT at all Ticketmaster outlets, according to promoters.

"We've been cooped up in the studio for so long that we have to release some energy," Rose said in posting on the band's Web site. "Since we had so much fun playing Vegas last year, we've decided to do it again."

GN'R played their first show in more than seven years last New Year's Eve at the House of Blues in Las Vegas, where they performed new material from the long-awaited Chinese Democracy album along with classics like "Welcome to the Jungle" and "November Rain" (see "Rose's New Guns Unveiled In Vegas").

Rose and crew followed by headlining the Rock in Rio festival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in mid-January and then announcing a European tour that was later canceled, rescheduled, and canceled again (see "Guns N' Roses Cancel European Tour Again").

The band's management did not return phone calls Tuesday.
