Okay, so this time I did ditch, and for a while. I am sorry. I am going to try very hard to not let it happen again. Things have just been so CRAZY these past couple of months. Below is a quick run down of my life since my last post:
July: I got to see my wonderful family while we went on a 5 day Mexican Cruise to
Cabo San Lucas, and I must say a cruise is the best way to spend a vacation. This was the first family vacation where we didn't have to fight over what to do, worry about the cost of the attractions, or try and find
transportation for us all to have some alone time. We were able to do things ourselves, meet new people, see new things, and still all meet for dinner in the evening. Most of everything was paid for in the cost of the trip and so we didn't have to worry about money. Not to mention unlimited food...and really good food. We also met a beautiful couple, in their...lets say 50's. Linda and Charles. They were delightful and made each day just a little bit more exciting. We are set to go on a 7 day
Caribbean Cruise in May as our second.
August: I MOVED!!! That's right, I got out of the house and moved into my own studio apartment in the North End. It has been glorious. It was like when I moved my creative floodgate opened up to whole new realms. My first month in here I wrote 3 new songs, several poems, and a short story that I was proud of. This was after months of trying to create anything worth keeping. I bought a microphone and am looking into some software to look at recording a CD (for myself) that consists of seven songs I have written since living here. In the move I did lose a dear friend, and that is sad. She didn't die, she just went away but those are the choices we make. I am able to hear through the grapevine a general of how she is and that makes me feel a little bit better about that.
September: BUMBERSHOOT and
COHEED AND
CAMBRIA. Those two alone would have made
September the best month ever. I made incredible concert friends, one of whom I still talk to a little bit. Felt loved, and fell in love during the Modest Mouse show, and yes I was on the bar. Then at
Coheed I met up with an old friend, Aaron and even being in seats that show rocked it. They played 'The Crowing', how does it get better than that? Oh wait, it was that they finally played 'The
Velourium Camper III: Al the Killer' because I LOVE that song and have always wanted to be in a crowd of [mostly] white girls screaming, "die white girls, die white girls!" Note: The band is not racist, you just have to know the story behind Al.
October: October was
glorious. I saw WHY? yet again, this time with Hannah and they made my heart scream "
WOOHOO!" The newest album
Eskimo Snow is different but intelligent and beautiful. Pick it up, listen, then listen again. My best friend, Priscilla also showed up for a few days and we had the pleasure of seeing the ever funny Kevin Smith, that night my stomach hurt and my pants, I must admit had been peed.
On another note, I was also promoted and got a raise in this month of October, that's always good news.
November: So I start
NaNoWriMo this month, I get the pleasure of writing a frantic novel of 50,000 words in thirty days. I will keep my updates here, also at
nanowrimo.org. Check it out, it's going to be a good time!
