This morning I took an old photo out of a frame to replace it with a more recent one of friends. Behind the photo was a different photo that I don't remember leaving there. It's of Jamie and I sitting in the back of the Modern Machines van with two other friends. I look like hell, Jamie has his hands behind his head, smiling satisfied at the ( Read more... )

There's some sort of parade going by. But our living room window is on the backyard so I can't SEE it but I can at least hear the snare drums and trumpets blaring. I don't know why this ever happens in my quiet neighborhood, but it does ( Read more... )

So I work so much or am in jersey so much that I feel incredibly left out sometimes. I don't know how I don't spend more time with my friends, but right now I feel like I'm already wasting too much time socializing. I work 40 hours a week at a "real job" plus at least another 20-30 on my own work and band stuff. That, for lack of a better term, ( Read more... )

And I would think "wow, they're right! I do sound like her!" Except in real life I don't, at all. I found this hilarious ( Read more... )

Unfortunately my need for health insurance that doesn't blow is keeping me in a "real job" situation for the time being ( Read more... )

I never really had any money before and couldn't really buy nice things as gifts for my family or, you know, even take my parents out to dinner or something. and they knew that and even if I'd TRY they wouldn't let me pay for it. but that's kind of different now ( Read more... )

I don't write in here very often but I'd like to just state, for the record, that things are really fine right now. I went to sleep the other night very glad about pretty much every aspect of my life, as much as I can be right now, and that felt really good.
