Currently listening : Marty Casey & The Lovehammers - Trees.
You know what's unfortunate? When you know someone should make it. Marty Casey should be more than just a name in the Chicago Alternative scene. But the big time won't give him a chance I guess. That's ok Marty. I'll still be a fan. INXS should have taken you instead of JD, and yeah, I'm still complaining about this 2 years later.
Onto real life...
Went to Full Sail and fell in complete love. I love how everything there is centered are the passion for music and making music and anything and everything to do with that. I'm just really scared though. Scared that I'll go there, and major in something, but that it wont be what makes me happy. I don't want to do sound for movies. I know, I don't have to take a job I don't want to, but then I get that feeling. My least favorite emotions creeps into me and lingers for a bit, and then it doesn't matter what I know I do and do not want to do. No. That GUILT just eats me away and I'll do whatever it is someone is telling me too. It's the most awful trait I think I have; letting the guilt take over. But I know that Full Sail is the best school for anything in the vicinity of what I want to do. I'm pretty darn sure of that much.
I just hope everything I hope to do I can do. I will forever be mad with myself if I don't. I do not want to be the cliche of girls in the music business. I do not want to be "one of those" girls. I just want to be the good girl who worked hard and achieved her goals and people honestly and truely like her. I want to be the real deal.
Did I ever mention how nerdy I am? Well, it's true. I went to the midnight release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." I have been reading about Harry Potter before you knew who he was. Do not even try and think you can surpass me. I was in Ms. White's 4th grade class and she read us some of the first book, then I begged my mom to buy me the book. That was in 1999 smartypants, when the first book was published. By the end of 5th grade the 4th book had come out and by then everyone was throwing a riot about it. Now that I think about it...I feel the same about Harry Potter as I do any band. I found it first, and now a bunch of 13 year olds are taking it. Whatever. So now, on July 20th at 11pm, there I am sitting and waiting for the last book. It was a freaking amazing feeling to say the least. By 12:28 I had my book, (and poster!) and I'm happy as ever. These books will forever be apart of me. Forever.
Warped was on the 19th. Tia and I had VIP passes from Warped Panel, which in simple terms means we got to see a mainstage band on stage. We saw Chiodos, and I must saw it was completely amazing to see everything from the band's point of view. I can't wait to be able to do it again. That, and the 105 degree heat, and lack of liquids, and best friends, and great bands, and dirt, and more dirt, and no shade, and Red Jumpsuit hometown shows, made it my favorite Warped to date. Sure, I've only been to 3 total, but this one was just the best.
I almost hate saying this, but I want to go back to school. I just feel like I have some good in store for me :)
