let's talk about life for a while
Hmm. I've been neglecting this a lot lately. I'm trying to catch up on my friends list but it seems like so much is happening with everyone I can't possible stay up to date. Not that anything hasn't been happening with me, it just hasn't seemed that important, I guess. I've enjoyed kinda keeping to myself, laying low. Not that I'm being reclusive, but just having some "me time". I've finally convinced myself that I am entitled to that. Still, I figured what better time to update than while I'm bored at work, counting down the next 2 hours until I get off, so I can get the hell out of town for a few days.
A big group of friends and I are headed to Gatlinburg for the weekend. There's about 15 of us going up there to stay in a cabin together, and most have already left, but the few of us who had work or class today stayed behind and will have to fight rush hour to get out of Atlanta. That should be fantastic....Seriously though, I'm really looking forward to this. Rest. Relaxation. Ridiculousness and sheer hilarity will follow, I'm sure. I'll have my camera, don't worry.
I'm still recording, writing, and practicing. Trying to summon to the courage and convince myself to play at one of the Pride music stages this year. It's a scary thought, but it's possible.
I've also started planning my summer vacation, which is possibly the most exciting thing I can think about right now. Since I'm not following any crazy musicians or taking a bunch of little trips around the US like I did last year, I'm finally going to do what I've been contemplating for the last few years, and go to Europe again. I've booked a flight in mid-July to London for a 9 day trip as sort of a post-birthday celebration for myself. A few of those days will probably be spent in another city like Paris, Amsterdam, or Brussels. That part has yet to be decided and accomodations have yet to be booked, but I'll be making those decisions soon. As of now, I'm going alone, and I honestly have no problem with that. I almost prefer it, and think it will be good for me.
Anyway, that's where I'm at for now. I suppose I should get back to work, or at least pretend to...
