All the boys in the band won a Valentine

I'm waiting for my band to come. We need to practice. I think Ben is picking me up an XLR cable because mine broke and we need one.

So, this is the new blog. It's all under construction and whatnot, so if you see stuff that says "insert text here" that's because it's not done and I need to finish inserting text there. I didn't design it so don't ask. I stole it from the interwebz0rz. But it's cute and I like it.

I need to go print the newish song thing from Muse. I think I'm going to play it for the half of the band that's coming. Josh is sick so he misses out, I guess.

Tonight I'm volunteering for Family Fun Night at the school. So it a majority of my youth group. It'll be fun, hopefully. We get free food, if nothing else.

I should go wait for my band now.

And I'll tell you everything that went on

So today my computer microphone is broken so I'm using my mp3 player. And I'm going to a besketball game tonight. That's all.

Take this heart of darkness, I give it up

You can find me anywhere

Today has been good so far. I went to school and gave my guitar lesson and hung/hanged out with Wendy. And tonight I'm going to babysit Grace and work off more of DumpsterBabyWhoNeedsARealName. So yeah! Good stuff.

I'm going to fill out a survey thing because I like those. Then you can all read it.

I'm going to try and convince my parents to let Makensie sleep over tomorrow. If she can, of course. That would be fun and awesome.

Ain't it something to know you've lost

My hair is wet and mostly combed.

It's Wednesday! My favorite! I should like, make cookies or something. I think it might be my snack day at small group, anyway.

Gotta run.

Mara

These days are all numbered, but things could get better

*laughing* Hans, you rock.

School was good and stuff. Tonight I have to babysit and then I have to go to rehearsal for worship on Sunday. The youth is doing it again, so it should be really fun. I really, really want some caffeine. *dies*

I'm starting a separate blog for writing songs and such. I'm excited about it. More on that soon.

ccccaaaaffffeeeeeiiiiiinnnnneeeeeeeee.

What color should I paint my fingernails?

I need to take pictures of my guitar before I forget again.

You're the best thing that has happened to me, and the world will never take that away

I don't want to go to school today. That makes me think of that one poem from Where The Sidewalk Ends except that I've never faked being sick so that I didn't have to go to school. But I kind of have to go so I'm going to and I'm going to willingly. Yeah. Because I'm good like that.

Superbowl party was fun. We didn't get home until almost 10. I fell asleep with my contact lenses in. So they are still on and I don't think I'll take them off until after school.

What shall I wear? Hmm. I don't know. Nor do I care. So I will do what I normally do and just grab whatever fits and matches. Woohoo!

I like The Fray. I think I'll keep them. This song is like, seven minutes and some seconds long. That's kind of a long song. But it kept me entertained, so that's good.

TFP update: Ben doesn't want to practice tomorrow. So we're not practicing. Because Josh can't either. And we won't get much done without Josh because he has all the important parts to the songs that we need to work on. This wouldn't be a big deal except that we have a show in 11 days that we've practiced for once so far. Andrew and I are going to play an acoustic show at the end of March that Josh is also not going to play, not because he can't, but because he wants to go to a concert that is apparently ubercool. So that's cool and stuff, because I don't mind playing it with Andrew. And that way I can be selfish and play the songs the way I want to and stuff. Muahahahaha.

Okay. I need to get ready now.
