Rendezvous

Surprisingly, the event organized by Donovan, Helme and all, turned out pretty okay. I wasn't expecting much, mostly because they aren't musicians themselves and I was almost certain they were in it merely for the money. But I was wrong, and the bands were good. Although some of them said really asinine stuff. For one, they were talking about how we should work together to rid racial discrimination, but the question is how? When you further perpetuate the stereotype by talking rot and conforming to your label. It made me strongly believe that if you're not naturally cool or witty (or if you have the tendency to blabber incoherently), you should always rehearse your lines. The ones I know personally, who have broken out of that stereotype, happen to be one of the wittiest and most likeable people I know.
I headed down with Justin and Rayv, who actually hit off pretty well. I figured they both have the common denominator of music so it should work out okay. I think they've even made plans to jam together. For most part actually, I was looking away somewhere into the crowd and lost, thinking of Danii because I was missing him a lot. Rayv made the situation a little worse, by repeatedly telling me that it was an event that Danii would have thoroughly enjoyed.
I can't help it. I read everything and seem to find clutter or a sentence that could have been phrased better. I think one of the reasons why I didn't think I would like the event, was because their event copy was unbearably amateurish and stilted. It also felt like they were too absorbed in who they are and what they wanna do, that they forgot the importance of engaging the reader and letting them know what's in it for them. Many a time, it's a lot about paraphrasing your words to make it politically correct to its reader. But then again, I'm anal retentive. And obviously I'm not gonna tell them (the way I don't correct a certain someone who says things like "Where did you went?", I just can't do it.) because I'm not that close to them, but I'll probably bring it up to Edd if I had the chance. On the other hand, I know them well enough to know that he'll be the only one who'll understand.
I'm talking so much because I miss Dani and I'm practically counting down the seconds till I see him (at the risk of sounding like an infatuated teenybopper). I need to occupy myself with something else.
PS. I'm such a terrible person. That night at Velvet Underground, this guy, a friend of Geist, held my clutch, got drinks for me, and drove me home. He was a nice guy, but after that night, he asked me out twice consecutively and it really pisses me off. It's not as if I think he's in love with me, it's just plain annoying because I hardly even know him. I think I told him off, sort of. Oops.
