Sarah has encouraged me to update this once again. It has been over six months, so perhaps the time is ripe.
I'm back at school after a wonderful summer racing around chasing 11 year old girls and recieving atrocious pedicures from them. Though very loving, 11 year olds do not have the motor skills required to paint within the lines. Perhaps we should not attmept to box them in and instead should encourage toe-nail polish in all sorts of exotic locations like knees and assorted joints, window panes, and flower gardens.
I love my bass. This is an unusual feeling for me and one that I'm hoping will become less unusual. Being out of unhealthy relationships is a good thing though, because I have more time to love my bass and more motivation to spent quality time with her instead of with said unhealthy boyfriend (kaput) (I heard today from a friend of mine who didn't know that we had broken up that Kevin said that "we don't like eachother anymore" which sounds a little endearing, unless you know the tone of voice and expression. Which, actually, I don't because I wasn't there, but I'm imagining it and it isn't pretty.)
I have a single room this year, and it is crammed with stuff, but is very homey and even has a vase of flowers that I bought at Whole foods as the ultimate in organic girlie-ness.
OASIS is killing me, but will not for long, it will get under control, I will make it submit to my will (garrr.) i talked to Dr. Sirota today, and he told me to make and appointment with his secretary/assistant and he would be happy to chat with me about his job and his vision and such. I love doing these interviews, I should probably keep better track of whom I've talked to and hwat I have learned from them.
Rob told me in our first lesson that if OASIS was going to take up too much of my time that I hsould drop it. I flat out said no. My goals may be a little vaugue, but they are not as foggy as I make them out to be. I do know what I am doing even if I can't fully articulate it and OASIS and this up-coming interview with Sirota are both important things that I need to do. As is my lovely practicing and my current love-affair with my bass. (If I admitted that I had a pet name for my bass, would that unnerve you?)
Also, as a side: my sister is much cooler than your sister and can pretty much do anything that she wants. (I write that and then I get all frantic: what on earth would I do if I lost her? Better not to think on it.)
