Firsts
I've never needed therapy or any kind of consult before. I've always been able to handle stress, I've never been depressed (except possibly for the summer between my Freshman and Sophomore/Junior year of college, though I didn't realize until much later), and I've never been anxious before this year.

Least Fun Internet Quiz Ever

Writer's Block: Looking Back
My first entry was written when I was thirteen years old. The Friday, 13 July 2001 inaugural post is titled, " Canadian Cousins and White People."

I like this meme!
The Post Your Drive Meme, courtesy of boobookittyass !
Post ten (10 Only) pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive.
NO CAPTIONS.
They must ALREADY be on your hard drive; no Googling or Flickr! They have to be saved to your folders sometime in the past and be something you've saved because it resonated with you for some reason. They ( Read more... ) -

Dopstathon: you are a self promoter to the max
Oh how right he is. New song! It's called "Do I Want To" and it sounds summery. I actually really like it even though I have some crazy pitch/tempo issues going on. Wuteva.

New Post at HOWTOBEANEWYORKER. CliffsNotes version: I am a creeper. Basically, this is nothing you did not already know.
I spent all day recording a new song that I love, except the recording sucks, and I'm getting really frustrated. Boo.
