METACOGNITION AMBITION 
---------------------------------------

Most of you would call me crazy,
If I were to say,
That what I love to do the most,
Is stare at the wall all day,
Most of you would laugh and point,
And whisper to your friends,
"He's staring at the wall, it seems,
He's at it now again",
Is he thinking, is he zoning,
Is he flat out crazy?

My whole life, I've loved music. All kinds of music. I'm known now primarily for my skill in Celtic music, but I like just about anything. I grew up in a very art-loving family, had instruments around the house, (though no one but myself really played them) and my dad has taken my to many different concerts since birth. So I grew up around artists ( Read more... )

Today... yes... I did it. I bought the dress.

 I've been sick. That's really all there is to it.

I'm going prom dress shopping on Saturday. :) That'll give me something to think about.

I'm also giging at the Acoustic tomorrow.

That aside... nothing much. I'll check in when something eventful happens.

I've been listening to Green Day all week, and I've really forgotten how great they are. I used to sleep to them when I was a baby, and I know all their songs by heart. Before "American Idiot" came out and they became politically active. Back in the day when they sang about drugs, man-whores, abusive girlfriends, and losing your mind. I like new ( Read more... )

First of all... movie night... AT A REAL THEATER! We should do it. There's a movie theater a block from my house that shows old movies and sells popcorn and drinks... and for really cheap! Admission is $3, and popcorn is $1.50. Rowan and I went tonight.... and it was amazing!!! More of this we shall do, and with friends next time ( Read more... )
