It's a bad day/good day?
It's going to be one of those days. I just had a weird feeling this morning that it's not going to be a great day...and so far I've slammed my thumb into my jacket closet door here at work. :/
On a good note:
Rock climbing
This has started to become a larger part of my weekly schedule...usually about three times a week. Saturday I completed two 5.8's that I had not previously been able to. (one of them I had just tried for the first time Tuesday, but I was too wiped to continue once I completed the one move I couldn't figure out-so I came in fresh Saturday) For those of you who don't know rock climbing routes are rated 5.4-5.12. A 5.9 climber is a good climber, everything above that is very good...needless to say I'm almost there. I have to conquer most of the routes, then I'll move onto 5.9's. Tom [the guy who runs the rock part of the gym, and was my teacher in the beginner and intermediate 1 & 2] thinks that I should be climbing 5.9's before we go to outdoor climbing this spring. I'm super excited!
Band goods
Show on Friday night went well. It was a cool venue, to the left of us was a set for a theater that runs before the music shows. The seats for that have angle views to the bands...and there is a little area for people to stand. Which is great, because even with just 50 people there, it looked like a lot! We played with a band with a strong following out of Peoria. Their bassist, who was cute as a button...but could be too young for me, asked me for my number and we gushed about how much we love Hum and both use ORANGE amps because of it. He called me first thing Saturday, and I called him back Saturday night...on my way to a date. (is that bad?) Either way, I might go see him in a couple weeks to buy some pedals from him at the store he works for, instead of him shipping them.
men
On that note...as my dad put it earlier this week: "When it's not a feast, it's a famine". This was his comment to me about the date I had, and meeting this other kid at my show...and just saying why all this is happening now. It's really true. I don't mind being single, it's probably less of a pain in the ass-but it's just weird that this one kid likes me...and now others are showing interest. Weird. I'm sure it will all come to an end at the same time, as well.
I have more on how rock climbing and the men's sudden interest are somehow related, in my mind. But I'll bother you with that later.
