Phases

Well... Zach moved out the other day. My mom couldn't afford another person here... And since he didn't really put any effort to find a job, that was pretty much it.

I honestly don't have much to say on the subject... Zach's a good friend... I'm sad he's leaving, but I understand why it has to be. Its funny, after you live a year with a person, you get used to them being around and now the house feels empty. I don't want to talk about it, but I thought it nice to at least let you folk (the three of you, heh) know.

I've gone through a lot of phases... Did you know that? The earliest phase I can recall was when I was 7-10 years old. I was in my grunge phase. I wore my flannel shirts tied around my waist... my white undershirt... and my torn blue jeans. I miss that. But, I also went through a rap phase. Yes... I was a mini-thug. But that lasted all of three months. Then I went through a hippy phase, and then a metal phase... Then I went through a no music at all phase starting at age 14 and lasting until age 16. After that, I was kinda... Lost.

Its surprising how much music means to me now. I think about all of the songs I've listened to and all of the music I've related to at this point in my life and a I feel an odd... nostalgia, even though its something that's happening now. Music is my life. Without it, I would kill myself. Blunt, but true.

There's so much emotion in everything I hear now. I've only recently become aware of how much the emotions of the singer/songwriter/performer/musician/whatever's emotions impact my own. I love music. I can't think of living without it now. I was listening to my Hedwig and The Angry Inch original cast recordings and I was moved to the point of almost crying.

I'm also very drunk, so this could be just me ranting... I don't care, though. I really love music. I love everything about it. I've been expanding my tastes more and more and I am truly falling in love with the raw emotion that music captures.

Again, I'm pretty drunk, so this could make no sense at all... We'll see how I feel when tomorrow swings around.

I enjoy expanding my horizons. I now am totally enamored with music I wouldn't have even considered listening to ten months back. I've also grown out of a lot of stuff... For example, my Marilyn Manson fetish. That's not to say I still don't listen to his music... I do. I appreciate it, but not nearly as much as I did before. I respect him for his visual art more than anything. I've also grown out of a lot of the other bands I used to listen to... I dunno... Another phase may be coming on, or I may just be... pleh... who knows?! I don't!

I'm looking forward to going to San Francisco soon. I'm going to buy some pretty outfits to wear. Some new skirts, some neato spider-web 'arm warmers', though, honestly... I don't think they warm that much as they are mesh... There's a neato hoodie I want... and.... hm... a cool vest... and... Lots I want for the trip... But, I'm actually not that sure I'll be getting it. I want to save up as much as possible to the trip itself. We'll see.

I love you all... :D
