On The Run
I am updating while I have it in my mind too. A Million things I would like to say, but it will probably have to be short.
2011 is extremely improved over 2010. No floods, and a lot of happiness. I finally met someone who isn't a loser, and who I am not just settling for. We fell right into the homo stereotype, and he stayed the night on the first date and has been unofficially living with me since. It's been over 2 months now, and it's been the best 2 months I have had in a long time. It's so nice after honestly believing that I wouldn't find anyone I was compatible with with mutual attraction, but somehow I did. His name is Josh btw. So it's been wonderful and I am very happy. Work at Astro-med has been good, and I recently upped Hyundai's rates too, and now I get $50/hr for on site support.
Little Blue Pill (My cover band) is continually a blast. We know around 60 songs now, We've been playing out fairly often (3 shows this month). We continue to dress up and be goofy, everyone loves it, and we are starting to make some decent cash. Hemlok was recently offered (and accepted) a recording contract. I was suprised that I was not jealous, but I am not. it's nothing huge, they get CD's pressed for free, but have to have an album by a certain date, and the record company gets 25% of their profit, plus any additional profit they make from it in the future, or if they get picked up. So really not much has changed except they are not on a time deadline for music production, which I am not envious of. Plus they will be requred to play certian festivals and stuff which will be out of the way, and honestly the last time I heard them play, they were awful. Same old story, bri is off and disorganized, john toned down the weird noises, but is still loud as hell and all over the place, jay is all fills, and janis's voice isn't strong enough to overpower the music. I'm glad I am out more and more as time goes on. Seeking Quiddity stuff has been at a stand still, as I've been busy and uncreative. Working on setting up a dedicated studio computer though, so hopefully I can get something out of that. I quit the jazz band. It was unfun, and wasn't going anywhere, and was more stressful than anything. I was glad for the time I spent in it, and learned from it also.
Zen passed away.
My Grandma on my mom's side isn't doing good.
My mother and I are talking sort of, as long as we don't bring up anything in the past, we are ok.
I need to start saving some money, as I am just recovering from a financial rut I somehow got myself into. I blame oil heating.
Josh and I had a discussion about the word "love" and what it means to each of us, because everything has moved so fast, and we've both has some fucked up relationships in the past. All and all it was good, and just made it clear that we are both on the same page, just nervous about making a mistake and ruining what we have. It was cute, and I am going to suprise him with a present and a movie tonight.
There! I posted! phew!
