Could any other lyric be more true? Wow.
So far this week has been pretty good. I haven't been as productive as I'd like to be but that can be easily improved with a better sleep routine. I've been staying up way too late, then I take my mom to work, and then I sleep til noon. Not the ideal way I'd like to spend my days, but it is quite easy. I really need to clean up space on my computer. Deleting music I don't listen to anymore/ever has been going on, slowly, but it's happening. Next I have to go through pictures. That will take forever which is most of the reason I keep putting it on the back burner. I also need to organzie my room a little better, read read read, watch the final season of ER, and do some art stuff. Realizing how much I have to actually makes me feel like such a bum. Maybe I should stop sitting here writing all this and go do stuff...

Let me see the way you work it
Currently Listening: Surgarcult - Do It Alone
This past weekend was way better than planned. Mostly because originally I had no plans. Exciting life I lead, I know. I saw The Sleeping (along with Luna Halo and Sugarcult) at Embry Riddle in Daytona. If you don't know, ER is a weird school. People major in like...rocket science there. Weird. Anywho, I went with Morgan, Rachelle, and her sister. The crowd sucked, but The Sleeping were really great. I hadn't seen them since around January 07', and their live show has only gotten better. A lot of people were saying they were boring, but I don't get how a band with so much energy can be seen as boring. Wake up people. I'm mostly glad I went because I got to hang out with a whole new group of people and it was so much fun. I normally hang out with people younger than me (no offense you guys, it's just the truth) so actually being one of the younger ones in the group was a totally different experience. It's also nice to hang out with people who don't care about any of the bands I like. I love not worrying about drama, this person and that person's business, and dumb stuff like that. When I was 16 it was fun, but I'm almsot 20 years old and that stuff has just gotten old. I liked talking about comics, families, and how stupid ER was. Afterwards we went to Denny's and I wanted to get nachos but I can't get those unless Amber is with me. Getting mozzerella sticks alone was weird too though.
Here's a picture of Doug. I need to get back into Flickr. If only someone would give me what they owe me...

Memories of being young
Not that I'm old, but I guess music-wise I am. That sounds really stupid, and really isn't true I suppose, but from listening to these guys in 1998 to still listening to them and about 1,000 other artists today, I've grown up quite a bit. And the fast that GC turned 13 on Wednesday is kind of insane. I love that I still love all of these artists to this very day.
Today (technically speaking, yesterday) I got 3 old-school cameras. I can't wait to test them out. All day hangouts with Kristen and Vik are so much fun.

So I guess I have some explaining to do...
Currently Listening: All Time Low - Weightless
I haven't really posted in like...2 months. What's up with that. Me of all people, not posting? It's really lame of me, but now that I'm back home, have Internet, and have quite a bit of free time on my hands, well, I really have no excuse NOT to post.
So hmmm...where to even start. Well I was in Chicago from February 7th - March 17th. I got to see snow, make a snowman, feel the lake effect coldness, eat all my favorite hometown foods, see so so so many old friends, visit my elementary school, and hang out with my baby (Blackey) again. I love being in Chicago, seeing the skyline, talking with family...all that fun jazz. Five weeks at home was enough time to make me want to be in Jacksonville again though. It was weird to actually want to come back to Florida so bad. I missed my family, driving on nice roads, the peace and quiet on not having 5 dogs, and the Internet. No matter which city I'm in I'm homesick for the other. But I think, (and please, please excuse this lame pun) I really think I learned the difference between going back and going home.
I've been back just over 2 weeks now. I've already been to 2 shows (where as in Chicago I went to 00000!) and both were awesome. Taste of Chaos was a lot of fun. I got to work it, through AP, and I like that feeling of kind of being better than everyone else just because I'm behind a table. I met so many people and drank way too many Rockstars. Good times. On Sunday I saw Butch Walker. If you don't know, Butch is my favorite. I get really nervous whenever I meet him - shaking, at a loss for words, acting like a total fangirl nervous. Vik and I got to watch him sound check with about 20 something other people. His set for the actual show was totally not what I was expecting, and he didn't play a lot of songs he normally did. There were many surprise favorites though, so it was still fun. When it comes to BW, if he played the alphabet and then walked off the stage I would still say it's good, so whatever.
I've been trying to be really productive since I've been home but I'm just super lazy. It's a new month though (can you belive it's already April?!) and not that it matters, but hopefully its like a breath of fresh air! Speaking of it being April 1st...I wish I could play April Fool's tricks on people. That stuff only works if you have a job and/or are in school. I think I just burned myself. Ouch.
PS. RIP 365. I can't do that garbage anymore. It was fun for the month it lasted. Maybe I'll do one in December too, to see what I look like at the begining and end of the year. Sounds good.
