Lately I've been playing a lot of video games. This is all well and good but it has been causing me to listen to music less than I normally do. After I finished my most recent game, I fired up my music. MY music, not the radio. It was like a breath of fresh air. I was almost overwhelmed by how much I can STILL be blown away by Alice in Chains and other great bands. This is fantastic.
It's been a long time since I last posted (by my standards, at least). This is probably because I haven't been doing much. Since I'm going to be starting college soon, I'm spending my summer doing as little as I can. At least, productive things. The most productive things I've done are college related. Such as I'm taking lessons to ensure I make the Pride. But mostly I've been slacking off, enjoying the slow life. I've gotten a lot of reading done. Which is really nice since I can read what I want because it's summer. So I've been worshiping at the altar of Stephen King. I've also been occupying my time watching movies, playing video games, and (hopefully more often now) listening to music. Also been spending time with my boy. Good times.
The past few days have been especially good. Gimpifying parties with my friends and watching fireworks with my boy.
I also bought tickets for Kattfest for him and myself. Stone Temple Pilots is the featured band. I love how all the grunge bands are starting to reunite and make records again. The STP concert ought to be fun. I'm disappointed I can't go to the Judas Priest concert (college stuff in the way) but I guess I can't always luck out.
I found out who my roommate is. She seems pleasant enough. Very enthusiastic. She, like me, is planning to audition for the Pride (she plays clarinet). And she loves grunge rock. Again with the good fortune.
Life's been pretty smooth for me. The only sadness I've endured has been as a result of empathizing with other people whose lives aren't going as well as mine. All of you guys have my sympathy. If I can do anything to help, just let me know. I will admit, though, I feel a little guilty because life's been so carefree for me recently and because overall I can do little to nothing to help out.
Next major thing for me is getting my AP scores. I'm supposed to get them mid-July. My scores will have a huge impact on my classes next year. I just hope I did well enough on all of them (I need a 3 or higher on Calc, a 4 or higher on Chem, and a 5 on one of the English-es...es).
