Song currently playing: Bring me to Life – Evanescence
It’s Aliiiiiiiiiive!
My computer is finally functioning again, after much toil. I’ve been reinstalling all my programs slowly, I need to work on my scanner and my tablet next. I did a new DevID, though. I felt it was time for a new one.
I also created a new account, , whose purpose will be to illustrate my journal. The work there is not artistic, but since I like being creative, chances are you’ll find some interesting shots there. It is more of a photo album of the rest of my life. You will meet all my friends there, and will be able to see what I’m really like. The journal will still be post here, but if you want to see the pictures, go there.
My moped broke down while I was out buying software for my computer, but a nice man helped me out. He threw my moped in the back of his little pickup truck and drove me home. Cool guy. He’s a retired computer systems installer who used to ride motorcycles. He installed the base systems for all the Navy’s computers, and continued to update them until 2000. Very very smart man. I gave him my number, he’s going to look for motorcycles for me.
I woke up Monday, panicking that I was late for work.
Then I realized that I was going to Hershey Park!
We left early, I drove a van dubbed “the bachelor mobile”, since all the single guys (including myself) happened to hop on board. We jammed to the radio all the way there, windows down and breeze blowing in our faces.
It was the most perfect day. After figuring out meeting places and times, we scattered through the park. Me and a bunch of other friends ran to the very end of the park to work our way back, so as to avoid the lines. It wasn’t bad, though, since it was a Monday. We went on every water ride and every roller coaster (some a couple times!!!). I had so much fun.
I didn’t get into much deep conversation like I had the last time I went to Hershey Park, but I had a blast anyways so it didn’t really matter.
I mostly hung out with Lalrem, Boone, Collins, Janice, Erin, Eunice, Magda, and Regina. The others usually dispersed themselves throughout the park. Priscilla, Jon, and the Hubbards I barely saw, and that was just by chance.
I had to leave early, unfortunately. A bunch of kids needed to be back early, so I loaded them into the van and took them home. I kinda did need to get back, so I could make band practice, but it wasn’t easy leaving that park.
It ended up good that we got back, though, because then I got dinner at Lottie, and was able to take a couple stabs at my computer when I got back.
Practice was awesome, though I sometimes still wonder if Jared’s completely comfortable with me. I just [i]feel[/i] something different from him. It’s not the same as Lox & Spam, we just have a strong connection yet. I’m hoping this will improve once we start working on the Direct Hit side project. We’ll see. He seems almost defensive of his lyrics, it makes me increasingly nervous when I’m asked to do backup vocals. Crowds don’t make me nervous, but I can’t sing to my full potential when I’m nervous.
I get the feeling that he’s been criticized to much on his vocals & lyrics. Even when Spam makes suggestions, he gets very defensive. We’ll see what happens.
The basement flooded right in the middle of practice, sending puddles to the middle of the floor. The stream headed to our amps, so we ended up abandoning practice and getting everything off the floor.
The rainstorm was gigantic, knocking out the internet for a while and felling several branches off the tree in our neighbor’s yard.
Got to clean the house tonight, Cathy is coming over tomorrow at 1 to “inspect”.
