The World Will Never Know

My band had its first show on Friday night, the 13th. The crowd was so electric, and we even had a mosh pit going :D In fact, the crowd reacted so well that the club asked us to play again the next night, the 14th. We did, the crowd was 1/4 the size but just as awesome. I was so nervous beforehand, but once I got up there and things got going, I hammed it up so hard. I'm just so comfortable onstage in front of a crowd. Probably a byproduct of being in theatre, choir, and spelling bees for as lo… Continue

I'm so mentally not-there that I posted a blog as a comment on my own page. Then I double-clicked to delete it and ended up deleting one of Kyp's comments. Agh. Everything in real life is very overwhelming right now. My dad just had cataract surgery, and my mom was just diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. They both live 1000 miles away. My mom is convinced she's going to die soon. I have to apportion part of my brain to deal with that, and still save some to think about starting college this fa… Continue

I'm not sure if I preferred the old forums, where each post would have 500 more replies by the time you finished typing up yours and it would take a full day to catch up after lunch, or this network, where you can see that the last reply to an interesting thread was a month ago. Less stressful to keep up with, but not doing much to alleviate my boredom at work. And we all know that's what the rest of you are here for, to entertain me! *whipcrack* I say we all just start a commune, that way the… Continue

I had my first sparring class yesterday. I felt silly with big black boxing gloves and my awesome pink mouthguard, and I got hit a lot, but it was so much fun. And I have to remember to wear contact lenses next time, since it's no fun to box someone with glasses. Now I'm trying to drum up support for the women's self defense classes the studio is offering. They're free, yet no one is showing up. Maybe if I go around town attacking women, and end up as a mass-hysteria story on the news, THEN the… Continue

Holy crap, I don't even recognize the place! I'm spending my first few minutes just hunting down familiar screennames... What's new with me since I was here last? Still with the same Joseph, living a few miles east of where I was, taking Tracy's Kenpo Karate every week (halfway to my orange belt), working as a receptionist during the day, in a band called Eye of Anger as singer/thereminist, might go to school this August to get on the path to a degree in English and teaching certification. I w… Continue
