What's been going on with me???
I moved into my great grandpa's house at the end of November to help him out, so im in the process of redoing the finished room in his basement for my practice space/studio/office area. Eventually i wanna get some recording stuff so i can have an actual studio, but thats not gonna happen for a long while.
I just finished writing and recording a new song called "Anonymous Guy" this past week. I encourage everyone to check it out on myspace. So far everyone that's listened to it says its really good. Its a very different style from "To Love You" and I like it a whole lot better than my other song anyway. I'm working on writing more songs and recording them.
I downloaded a free recording program so I can record my new stuff. its not really the best recording program in the world, but its a start. Like I said, i wanna get real recording stuff, but Im too broke to buy any of that kind of stuff, unfortunately.
I havent worked more than four days in the last month, which really SUCKS like you dont believe, but Im not even gonna get into that because I'll go into a long segway about it.
There's one more week left til Christmas and I havent done any of my Christmas shopping because im always broke.
Im gonna be going to see my long lost friend Tank on January 2nd in Harrisburg, which Im really excited about because we havent see eachother since my 19th birthday which was two years ago. We've been trying to find time between both of our show schedules to hang out but something always came up at the last minute and it never happened. But January 2nd will be the reunion day and it will be worth missing The Gathering Christmas Party at the Cock 'n Bull for it. As much as I wanted to go to that, seeing a friend that I havent seen in over two and a half years is more important than going to a party with friends I see a lot.
That's what's been going on with me. Next blog will be my "Year in Review"
Yinz have a great Christmas!~Nikki Diehl

Pet Peeves
I hate being out of the loop about everything. when things that are supposed to be going on and then someone cancels it and doesnt tell everyone involved that its not happening. that has to be one of my biggest pet peeves in the world.
Thats all i have to say

PUNCHLINE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I finally made it to my 3rd Punchline show and it was AMAZING. They played a ne Christmas song for the first time live, I saw them play the real version of "Ghostie" for the first time and they dedicated "Battlescars" to me.
It was just a blast to hang out with them since its been two and a half months since I saw them last. They're fun guys to hang out with and I really miss that part of their shows. Don't get me wrong, I love their live show, but hanging out and catching up is always fun too. Its so hard when they live on the other side of the state to keep up.
SEGWAY:Thats the only part that i dont like is that the majority of my friends live on the other side of the state, but on the other hand that just makes the time we have together more special because we dont hang out too often.
Tomorrow i was supposed to go see ApologetiX but i just got an email that the show has been cancelled due to the lead singer being sick. So now i need to find something to do on a friday night.
