One good thing about my recently becoming obsessed with Sherlock. I dug out my viola and played for a little while this even. I am woefully out of practice, but at least it staid in tune. I really need new tunning pegs, or a new viola but both are too expensive. However one thing that will help is cutting my nails. Not that my nails are that long, but they are long enough to interfere with my playing. So I think I'll cut them off and plan on trying to play every day or so. Well if T.'s not around. He's been writing a song and tends to be taking up the music room with his guitar playing. And frankly a viola can not drown out an electric guitar.

So I'm watching TBID, should be sleeping but whatever. So very good though. I will admit that the fact the NJ show was mere days before I was supposed to see MCR reminds me that I'm still sort of sad face about not getting to see them...You's guy better tour again and come somewhere closish to me damn it.

Also found out today that annikasevn totaly would have gone to NYC with me to see them. And she's not even a fan. She just likes doing random impulsive things like that. Back in the day the two of us wanted to drive to NYC to see NSYNC preform on the Today Show. (did I just date myself?) She also told me that she'll road trip with me to see them or any other random band I can't get anyone to go to with me because it's to far. And if happens to be NYC she's got a friend we can crash with. Oh the things I wish I'd know a couple months ago.

Um...I may have had caffeine earlier. If it shows, maybe it doesn't. But it's probably why I'm still so awake. Well that and the fact I got 6 and 1/2 solid uninterrupted hours of sleep last night. That is evidently much more restful than sleeping in 3 hour chunks.

Also I didn't go to RI, annikasevn left before I got out of work. When last she called me at 10ish she had just gotten back to Maine. We talked for about half an hour as she navigated the holiday traffic. Which was picking up again that's why she had to go. Possibly there was an accident she saw blue lights I guess. Or it could have been a pulled over speeder.

I'm not sure if anyone remembers me babbling about a band called Neurosonic in Feb. but anyway look, they have a video. You should watch it. It's for the song Until I Die.

Oh Panic you amuse me. With your string quartet dressed in marching band costumes. So um...you need another viola? Cause I'd totally be willing to wear a marching band costume and play viola for you.

They played 9 in the Afternoon and I Write Sins. And were neither terrible nor excellent. It is however I think the first time I've seen them preform anything. Despite the wonder of the internet I've never seen them play before. How sad is that? I'm going to see them in concert in less than a month and I've never so much as watch a youtube clip.

On SNL I have this to say, you used to be funnier. I'm pretty sure anyway that you used to be funnier. Okay so part of it is that you reference things in the news and I avoided the news like the plague cause mostly it just makes me sad.

So my roommate heard a song on her soap the other day, and really liked it. And when she caught it again on soap net just now she dragged me out and made me listen to it it hopes I knew who it was by or what the song was called. No luck. So on her behalf I turn to you dear f-list, many of you are into music so I was hoping one of you might have a clue.

It's a guy singing it. There is one line that's something like 'broken bodies on the freeway' and the refrain thing at the end is like 'holding on, i'm barely holding on' over and over again. So any ideas would be most welcome, so I can tell her and the I don't have to listen to her complain about it anymore. I'll even take suggestions on where I could look for myself.

Edit: okay, it's by Lifehouse I guess, but it's not on the CD she owns so she's still disheartened.

No really I want to know.

I know I was awake at 4:58 am. And I'm positive I saw 2 am as well. The roommate only managed about an hour more sleep than I did. She's still awake too, I think. The TV is still on, but I can't see her head any more, so maybe she fell asleep. The radio wont let me sleep. There are loud screaming people on it, well sometimes they sing. The radio should tell me who's playing, I never know who does songs I like, or get stuck in my head. Like MRC I actually know several of their songs pretty well, but I only knew like one of them was by them.

Bullet with her name on it. That is a line in the song right now. I think I like it, but that could be sleep deprivation.

It feels much later than it is.

So now that I have mastered playing Amazing Grace, Oh When the Saints, and Green Sleeves on the guitar I completely lost my mind, found my book of country songs through it at my roommate and said pick a song for me to learn to play.

At least country is a little more normal to be played on an electric guitar. Cause really the other songs just sounds a little weird being played through an amp.

And my finger still hurt.

I be much with the lame yes/no?

You know what? I think I'd really like to actually learn to play my guitar. Which means I'm probably going to get it tuned today and then forget again. But I think I will play my viola. The turning pegs seem to be actually staying in place at the moment which means I might actually have a chance in hell of getting it to stay in tune.

I'm not sure what it says about me that over half the music on my computer is from soundtracks. Other then I'm way to into movies.

I should probably go to bed. I'm bored, but I'm not tired. I was thinking about watching a movie today, but I don't remember what movie. Maybe I should just try the sleep thing. And aim for getting up at 9 instead of being woken up by the phone at 9:30.

Hello all. I finally got my computer to work on the school network. However right now I'm not on that computer, there's only one working network port in my room, and its my room mates so I had to unplug my computer.

All is going well at school. Because the dorm is running behind we're getting either two months break this winter, or a chance to get some credits really fast, like in five weeks. I still haven't decided if I want to stay at school or go home.

I have a new boyfriend. We've been dating for just over a week. He asked me out after he took me to see a punk band play. He's going to the same school as me, same year, different major. He's got blue hair, five piercings and a tattoo. I'm bring him home to meet my parents in two weeks. Won't they be surprised, he's definitely not my normal clean cut guy.

Not much else happening, I'm going to school in a very boring area. Although last weekend my mom bought a 2001 Mustang GT, that she'll let me drive next time I go home. I can't wait.
