I smell ramen and there is much to be said.
I'm starting guitar lessons tomorrow with this dude who was a TA for my American Popular Music class that I took sophomore year. He's pretty cute, but that's not why I'm excited. I'm excited because I'm actually going to get BETTER AT PLAYING THE GUITAR!! I took a beginning guitar class in high school, but that didn't really teach me all that much: how to tune a guitar, how to play a few chords, and how to write a shitty twelve bar blues song and get an A in the class because it's a joke how damn easy it is. I've pretty much been teaching myself most of what I know on the guitar, which, looking back on it is probably a hell of a lot! But, alas, a person can only get so far until they need somebody more experienced to lean on and learn from. Enter Renzo, my new guitar instructor. He has almost too much experience in too many genres of guitar-playing goodness. I'll hopefully be learning a lot about song-writing, music theory, solos, and improvisational skills among other things. Needless to say, I'm really looking forward to it!!!
I have to leave to pick Sarah up from campus in a little over twenty minutes. Although I don't mind too much the driving of the people to the places, I really would love this bus strike to be over. I'm going to go to a rally at the Metro Center on Friday at 5pm to support the bus drivers.
On the same line of thinking, I received a parking ticket on campus today at the remote parking lot because of not showing my permit. Booo. It's okay though, I've already dealt with it.
Did I already write about this weekend? Melea and I went to San Jose all of Saturday and pretty much didn't get anything done there that we intended to do. We were supposed to meet up with my friends for lunch. It ended up we were going to be 30 minutes late, so my friends didn't want to stick around. Fucking lame if you ask me. I was really annoyed by that, but we didn't let that ruin our day. We went to the mall in search of a magazine featuring an Against Me! interview, found a different magazine with an Against Me! interview in it and left. We were going to do homework in a park or something somewhere. We ended up watching History of Violence in the theaters instead. We were going to check out Beverages & More. We couldn't find it. We did, however, find Nickel City Arcade, which was where Push To Talk, Audrey Sessions, and Limbeck played. There was a birthday party in the room where the show was supposed to be, so we played some arcade games. That was fun, I haven't done that for a whiiiiiiile. We hung out a little bit with Brett and another dude from Push To Talk and Ben from IO. Cool guys. It's gonna be a good show at our house, you guys. Seriously. I can't wait. You shouldn't be able to either!
Push To Talk had an awesome performance. You could actually hear James' vocals and wow does he have a good voice! Limbeck pretty much sucked ass that night...Patrick was on something as usual (and although his crazy/hilarious stories were slightly redeeming, they didn't quite cut it) and they have a new drummer that doesn't know all of the songs yet, and they didn't play all of the songs I wanted to hear. Disappointing, but meh. I don't care all that much.
I swear there was something else I wanted to mention! Oh well. Hobbes has purplish pink fur in spots. I keep on forgetting and then see him and laugh. I'm going to the gym starting tomorrow. Finally. Putting myself to some good use. I need to stop spending so much money. Money-spending is bad. Let's all find some fun things to do that don't require cash or credit! With that said, I'm probably going to the Blue Lagoon tonight. Dolla dolla drinks, yo!
THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY!!! Wow, now it will just sound stupid, but I have to mention it now that I remembered. With all of the giving of rides to hitchhikers, I picked up this dude named...well, I guess I won't say his name. Let's just say I saw him on the buses a LOT last year and found him quite attractive for some unknown reason. So, I give him a ride and I'm actually, like, nervous for some reason...maybe I actually had a crush on him or something, but it wasn't like I was thinking about him ever outside of seeing him on the bus. Aaanyway, so I was talking to him, trying to make friendly conversation and realized I was trying too hard to be nice and that he's just a stupid emo boy, probably depressed about his sorry situation. Okay, that was a little harsh, but basically, he was dull. No more crush on this boy for Katie. That's all folks!
