Lots of stuff happening.... [12 Jul 2006|08:44pm] [ mood | peaceful ] [ music | Smashing Pumpkins - Snail ] I know, I've been neglecting my journal, I'm a horrible person. Ok, as an update. I'm working for the city pools as a lifeguard and I love my job. It involves some unpleasant tasks, but it pays fairly well, it matters, and it's honest work. Let's see... I also have been playing guitar a lot more, and my fingers hurt. I just made it through the first part of the beginning guitar book and I'm getting ahold of more source material to practice on. I really REALLY want the Smashing Pumpkins tab booklet. I also went to camp a little more than a week ago and I was baptised on Wednesday June 28th at 11:20 in my Greenlight District t-shirt. I saw a lot of old friends and made some new ones and I'm totally going to go back next year, and as a camper. I'll keep going as a camper til they force me to be a counselor. The Pictures I also have to give the lesson for Wednesday night, everything moves so fast! Speech and Debate taught me one thing, though, and that is hurry yp and get a first draft out *before* you procrastinate. AFter you have the raw materials you're much safer to relax and think --Today-- Got up early to get my mom to work so that I could go get my senior pictures taken. AFter dropping her off I got an Eye Opener at Java City, went to Wild Bill's PAwn and checked out the shexy guitars, and went to WalMart and got two 10 cent notebooks. It's amazing how everything mellows when you drink that much caffeine off the bat. I was so inspired that I wrote ( something poetic about it ) The senior pics took about an hour and a half of me changing and posing like some oversized doll. Erin even showed up and I found it much easier to smile naturally with her around :). I hope they turned out well. Everyone seemed really suprised about how I looked in my black and gold suit combo... idk what the deal is. I also went to Record Guys today and picked up cassettes as follows: Social Distortion- Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, Alice in Chains- Dirt, and Iron Maiden- Live After Death. So now I have a lot more music, not to mention the Smashing Pumpkins- Machina II album that JEssica helped me download and let me borrow her flash drive for. It's good, look it up because it's a *FREE* download. It was their last album before they broke up and so they made it open bootleg to screw over the record company.
