So this month, I have resolved to spend no more money. I'm gonna be broke. I'm gonna sit on what I have left in my name. :( I spent a ton this weekend, helping my parents get the house situated for Dad.
You know what makes me ill? I've gone through hell this past year. My family has. We're tired, worn down, and still kicking. That makes me feel good...until some crackpot professor, whom I used to admire a lot, basically tells me that he's worried about me in his class and thinks I'm going to need help in there...*burns a hole through the wall with her eyes* He had just better be glad that looks can't kill. That has stuck with me since he said it last Thursday...and it's made me second guess every musical move I've made. For instance..........Last night in the studio was HELL. My drum session back-up works. My back-up of Desperado that has all the tracks (acoustic, solo guitar, bass, drums, vocals, background vocals) DOESN'T work!!!!!!!!! RADAR only loads part of it..you guessed it, the drum part. So basically, I found out two days before my project was due (edited and ready for mixing) that all of it is gone except drums. I flipped out. All I can say is THANK YOU RHEA for keeping me sane in there. Finally, I caved and called Billy. I love this guy. He's officially family now. He's in Songwriting across the building, so he gets up and just walks out of his class to help me. Then, he drove me and Rhea to West Memphis to get his guitars and bass. When we got back, the alarm wouldn't let me shut it down, so we set off the BIG alarm. *smacks forehead* Oh my gosh that thing is LOUD!!!!!!!! Finally, I convinced them to just get into the studio and shut the door. I had to yell to be heard over the alarm. It finally let me shut it off. We got back at like 9:20 and re-tracked everything except vocals by 11pm. That's freaking awesome. Billy, you rock! STUMP you may be needed again, dear....it was your voice that I lost. So, now I have to find the time to edit them, when all the guys have sessions right about *checks watch* now. GO figure. Oh well, I'm just going to have to work twice as hard. I can do this. I'm just so sleepy. Lucky me, I have six hours to do my lab for engineering today. That rocks. Hopefully, that class will help me unwind tonight. After last night, I need it. Joseph, thank you for letting me vent to you last night. I was so tired...and so upset. I love you. Oh, and you guys should have seen the artwork that Rheanne left for Jeff Cline this morning. rofl. I totally wish I could be there at 9:40 to see it...as long as Chad didn't erase it.
So then, last night, I had this crazy nightmares. I kept waking up and thinking little monsters that looked like REALLY BIG jars were chasing me and giving me horrible luck/karma and trying to hurt me, not kill...just hurt. I kept waking up freaked out. Talk about a horrible night. At this rate, I can't wait to go to church this weekend over in West Memphis. I need some serious downtime with God.
