Umm yeah, its been like a month since my last blog. I am gonna try to start up again. A lots happened in the last couple weeks.
My big show that i was going to play on Nov. 1st was cancelled. Im really sad about that because I practiced really hard for that show and then two weeks ago the promoter cancelled it. I still do have two more shows coming up at my coffee house though, but I was really looking forward to playing outside the coffee house.
The other big thing that happened was I was in my first car accident. very scary, never wanna do it again. It wasnt even that bad. All I can say is older cars are made so much better than the newer cars. my car took the blow pretty well with minimal damage and the other car was really bad. Nobody was hurt, so that was really good and I didnt get a ticket or points because the people were really nice.
Im looking for a second job.
I want my Mac lappy fixed because im sick of using the crappy family computer thats extremely slow and has too many issues. PC's suck.
Im playing drums tomorrow for the first time at The Gathering. very excited about it and I love playing drums. dont get to play drums too often anymore, so Im really happy.
Have a show tonight at my coffee house. Lots of work to do. still have to really practice because I've gotten too many new songs that i wanna play at future shows and I dont practice the songs that I'm playing then i start debating if i should do the other songs. Its a pain.
Well I should get going. Lots to do!
Pe@ce!

well....
Yeah...last night i was gonna write more, but i got into watching House on TV and I dozed off in the beginning of the third episode. Im such a nerd. But I was really tired and there's something about me watching TV up in my room, I always seem to fall asleep. I did however get up around midnight and thought about going on the computer but decided not to because i had to get up by 8 so i could blog before getting ready for work.
I had the most bizzare dream last night that i was still in highschool. I was always running out the door to catch the bus in the morning, and this came back to haunt me. It was a monday morning and that weekend was crazy. I played a show on friday night and a show on saturday night and that saturday night Punchline was playing a show at a bar called "Soboslai's" (which is very ironic considering thats the lead singer's last name) and I had a show at a bar called "Robotski's". Yeah, dont ask, it was a dream. Anywayz, the places were a block away from eachother and I ended up bar hopping after i was done playing, so i could be at both shows. But back to the bus thing on monday morning, I was telling my bus driver all this while on the way to school. Extremely bizzarre. Just thought I'd share that to get a laugh out of some people.
That's all i have to say for now, and I need to get ready for work.

im bored
second blog in three days. a record for me. Like i said in my last blog i dont blog very often. so im gonna make it a habit. it takes 14 days to make or break a habit, so im gonna blog everyday for a while. woohoo.
So I've been learning a lot of new songs on guitar these last couple weeks. Lots of Punchline songs. I just picked up Boys Like Girls "Thunder" which is now a song im in love with. Eventually Im gonna learn "they looked like strong hands" by bayside just picked it up last night, its a little challenging but i need to get out of my "guitar comfort zone". I've come a long way, for example, i used to really hate playing bar chords (unless i absolutely had to play them) up until recently when i picked up some punchline sheet music and it's basically all bar chords and now i actually love playing them. its just something i guess i needed to get used to and i needed to strengthen my fingers so i could play them. its a lot easier on my electric guitar than on my acoustic but i guess i gotta get over that.
I wish i had money...My friend Carl who played in the band Last Tuesday (RIP) is selling his bass and I would buy it but have no money whatsoever. I've always wanted to play bass. I had a bass on loan to me for a week once and I fell in love with it. I hate being poor :'(.
so yeah, i was really bored, Im gonna write more later tonight. Im thinking about watching Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 tonight after i get home from work. Great movies and thanX to my Uncle Vegas for the recommendation I now own both of them.
Until next blog! Pe@ce out!

My First Blog
Well, I got bored and decided to start a blog. never used to be very good at blogging, but i guess i could give this a shot.
But yeah...what should i talk about in my blog????
Lets see, today is National You Tube Day (well til midnight) and I completely forgot about it until Im talking to one of the people that wrote the asm, cool theme song for it. Then all the sudden I remembered it was October 1st.
It's really scary that it's October all ready. This year is going by so fast, which im not complaining. I've done some pretty cool things so far this year.
I have my first "big" show coming up in a month from today at Creep Records. Its an Invisible Children benefit, so it should be a lot of fun and I will be the only girl performing, which I am ok with. Im really excited about it. I've been working really hard on putting together a set list for it. I have so many songs, its so hard to pick, but I think I got pretty much all of them picked out. I'm gonna play a short set at my next coffee house, which will be nice.
Even though I will be miserable while Im there because Im gonna want to be at The Croc Rock and hanging out with Punchline.
Im excited for ER tomorrow night. last week's episode made me cry because Pratt died and I really liked him, one of my fave characters. But Carter's coming back and he's my all-time fave characters.
Im going to see my good old friend, Tank Man, this month. I havent seen him in 2 1/2 years. He played in the band Last Tuesday (RIP) and I was buds with those guys. Since they broke up I havent seen them since, but have kept in touch every now and again to make sure we're all still alive.
Well enough babbling. I need to go to bed. had a long day today and i have a long day tomorrow.
