Working On an Epic Post for Later...
...and that means you get some epic memeage right now.
Ten Things I Wish I Could Say to Ten Different People Right Now:
1) It really, really bothers me that no one tells you how awesome you are. It bothers me even more that I can't seem tell you myself.
2) I love you and I love everything you've ever done for me, but I wish you weren't so damned judgmental all the time. Christ.
3) Really, regardless of everything cool/crazy about you, I would just like to be your friend. Because I think we would be good friends, but I'm pretty sure I screwed that up and now you think I'm a loser. Oh well.
4) Dude...why do you still talk to me? I mean, I'm glad you do, but I was such a fucking dick to you. I wouldn't stand for that shit.
5) I spend way more time thinking about you than is actually necessary, I think, but you're a really good muse, so...thanks.
6) What the bloody, ever-loving, American hell is wrong with you?! I've always wanted to know, and I spend a lot of time thinking about that, too. Somethin' ain't right up there. (FYI, it's not you.)
7) To me, you're about the most intimidating person in the world, but only because we're such good friends.
8) Sometimes, I wish I could just stop and say "thank you" for being so many shades of fantastic, but I'm not that way. Someday, however, I will find a way to let you know.
9) I'm reasonably sure that no matter where I go or what I do, I'm never, ever going to meet anyone like you ever again. I'm glad I can call you my friend.
10) I'm sorry you wouldn't let us help you.
Nine Things About Myself:
1) I have a giant, ridiculous mancrush on Patrick Warburton.
2) My father spent many years and many thousands of dollars trying to turn me into a jazz saxophone prodigy. I hated almost every minute of it, but I now have a $7,000 saxophone with a $300 mouthpiece and I haven't taken it out of the case in almost two years. I'm probably still quite good at it, but I still hate it, and the only reason I still keep it in the house is because I'm afraid of what my dad would do if he found out I got rid of it.
3) Instead, I really wanted to play the bassoon. My brother got to, and he only stuck with it for a few months. I'm still bitter about that. Hmph.
4) I never could decide on a favorite color, but I look good in dark brownish/orangeish/reddish kinds of colors.
6) I really don't like mustard.
7) Secretly, I...I...I LIKED HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL! ::phew:: There. I said it.
8) I have never played Mouse Trap, but I've always wanted to.
9) I have a feeling that this meme is going to take me a lot more time that I thought it would.
Eight Ways to Win My Heart:
1) Talk to me, or at least give me the chance to talk to you. I know I suck at talking, but I'm working on it.
2) Come to my gigs.
3) Be you.
4) Understand that sometimes, I really like to be alone and it's totally nothing personal.
6) Be Patrick Warburton.
5)
7)
8) ...That's about it, really. I can't think of anything else.
Seven Things That Cross My Mind a Lot:
1) Lately? What to do once we get to NYC.
2) I really need to start writing some more music. (Actually, I've done a fair bit of that in the last week or so. Go me!)
3) Why does my laundry pile never get smaller?
4) I moving to New York Fucking City and I need to get rid of about 3/4ths of everything I own. Ahh!
5) Good lord. I work with a bunch of freaking squares.
6) I should practice. Again.
7) The NYU Girl =).
Six Things I Do Before I Fall Asleep:
1) Brush my teeth
2) Put my glasses somewhere where I can find them in the morning (e.g., somewhere not near the bed where I'm likely to knock them on the floor in the middle of the night)
3) Visit the intarwebz
4) Read
5) Write something.
6) Set tomorrow's alarm
Five People Who Mean a Lot:
1) I have way too big of a chosen family to be able to single out five people, but my five top almost certainly know who they are.

Four Things I'm Wearing Right Now:
1) My 'Bass Hero' shirt

Three Songs I Listen to a Lot:
1) "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"- Richie Havens (yes. I like that version better).
2) "Jane"- Barenaked Ladies
3) "Brown Derby Jump"- Cherry Poppin' Daddies

Two Things I Want to Do Before I Die:
1) Be responsible for the creation of a song that everyone knows.
2) Have dreadlocks
One Confession:
1) Psh. Like anyone will read this far. In that case, I often have sexual fantasies about Eskimos.
