I survived rehearsal tonight. I decided for my own insanity that I wasn't going to do the one song that I knew I couldn't play, and thankfully, my teacher said it was all right. After killing my hands today, I'm actually okay at the other two, which I discovered after my anxiety attack almost kicked me in the ass. Plus, I get to totally melt into ( Read more... )

I'm tired, but I don't want to give myself an excuse not to post because I know that's the first step to not posting for weeks. So today's getting a list ( Read more... )

The horror movie search continues. Scream didn't cut it. Craig and I think the next attempt should be The Blair Witch Project, but there is no way in hell I'm watching that one with her. Maybe I can convince her to watch it on her own. Otherwise, she'll have to look for herself ( Read more... )

I'm in a foul mood, so I'm trying to focus on positive stuff right now to keep from spiraling into blackness. So here goes ( Read more... )

Thanks for all the advice yesterday. I'm still muscling through. Nights are not the most comfortable ( Read more... )

So yesterday was my first guitar lesson in over four years. On the plus side, I missed my baby. It was good, though a bit overwhelming because I've forgotten so much. Plus, all my calluses are gone. I need those back, stat ( Read more... )

Two days ago, Alicia asked me pointblank about guitar lessons. She's been itching to learn a new instrument, and her BFF plays bass guitar, so that was the instrument she chose. I called BFF's mom to get the info on her teacher (who I've met, he's great), and discovered he was looking for new students anyway. As of yesterday, I have signed both of ( Read more... )

I managed to evade Alex's cold for nearly a month. A couple days ago, I lost the fight. I hate being stuffed up. And tired.

I never mentioned this on my LJ before, but I got my Christmas present from Craig early this year. I've been begging him for an electric guitar since last Christmas and he finally caved. Meet William...

Craig had downloaded a demo of Guitar Heroes 3 for our xbox and yesterday, while we were waiting for our guests to arrive for our super bowl 'do, he decided to give it a go. He had pretty much downloaded it just to shut me up; I want it, but he wanted me to try playing it first before committing to the purchase. The original intent had been to ( Read more... )
