Thanks, but it's more like juggling than balancing. I'm hoping it'll slow down a bit soon. Hopefully I can drop one of the jobs & the classes will be over soon. (They're for math (BECAUSE I FAIL AT IT!!!!) so I can get my GED since I didn't graduate HS. *ashamed*) And the car work should be done soon too. So things should chill out some in the next month or two. I hope they are. I'd hate to be the only one... :\ The current plan? I really don't know!! I think I'm going to take a photography course & try to go from there in that field. For a while anyway. Ooh, lucky! My supervisor is actually my aunt. She's an a**, man! I never realized what a jerk she was till I worked with her. haha She doesn't own the company though, so my hours are set however the company wants them. (8 to 4:30) The other job is 5:30 to 9:30 about 3 nights a week. (Just started it, so not sure how many days I'll wind up working regularly.) Saddest thing about all this? I have no time for games!!!
Wow, and I thought my life was getting hectic lately.. :O It's impressive that you're able to balance so much, but don't overwork yourself! I think more people our age are clueless about what they're gonna do in life than are willing to admit. What's the current plan, working towards a certain career? And things are good with me, I'm not as busy as you but I've still got quite a bit going on. Thankfully, I work for my uncle and he lets me set my own hours.
Yes, I know. *facepalm* I'm sorry about that! It's easier for me to talk to people on Facebook but I shall try to remember to come on here more often from now on! Things are.... busy! 2 jobs, working on my new (old) car, night classes, still trying to figure out what to do with my life. So it's been crazy lately. But I'm doing good. haha How are things with you?
Hullo! It has been a while, you kinda dropped off all of a sudden D: How are things?
Hey, how's it going? Been a long time since I got on here. *fail*
Oh, man! I think I win the late response contest for sure!!! *hides in shame* Actually, it sounds a lot more fascinating where you live! And at least you get concerts... our city's booking people had a fight with the rock stars' booking people back in the 80s over some er... illegal monetary activity, and we haven't had a decent concert here since. I kid you not. Man, we Used to have people as big as PINK FLOYD come here... then there was the war. -__- Biggest name that's been here since then was Kelly Clarkson. Can you say, LAME...? No, no, no! Wrong answer... You gotta look up some of their less mainstream stuff. Livin' on a Prayer is, of course, an amazing song. But go listen to something like, Blood on Blood or The Distance (the live one off This Left Feels Right, not the studio version). DEFINITELY nothing like seeing your favorite band live, I completely agree. And that's awesome!! Sounds like fun! Awesome! I still haven't gotten the Ibanez... probably won't have the money for it till sometime in Feb either. *shrug* Oh, well... Mine is a steel string. I'd rather it wasn't, sometimes. We should switch! haha Okay, I'll look him up when I get off work. So I had the money to pay off my preorder of Skyward Sword but then I saw Mario 3D Land was releasing next Tuesday so I got it instead. *facepalm* Now I need 60 bucks before the 20th........!! Stupid, stupid... I'll come up with it somewhere, don't worry! And okie doke, as soon as I get it and play it some I'll let you know how it is. I'm massively excited for it!!! Did you figure out why they're called bucks or do I need to Google it as well. Yesh! I do too!! Last computer I had, I actually built from scratch. Well, I mean, almost scratch. haha I've moved on to laptops though and haven't messed with computers (internally/hardware speaking) in a while, sadly. After listening to Siberia a few more times, I'm sad to say that I too am disappointed in it. That's exactly what my friend said about it and she doesn't even listen to Lights except when she's in my car and I'm playing it. haha But you're both absolutely right, the melodic flow is mostly gone. I wish she hadn't strayed so far from the first album.
Sorry for the late response! Annnyway, the midwest isn't all bad I guess, just the northern MO, KS, NE and Iowa portion.. It's so boring here and there's nothing to do. :| I do spend a few weeks in the Ozarks (southern MO) during the summer though. I love it there, it's really pretty and lots of fun, but that's still a few hours from KC.. I'd much rather live near the Gulf :O, what are you talking about?! Come live here for a few weeks and you'll see just how lucky you are, I guarantee it :P Hmmm, what do I like of Bon Jovi? I'm gonna be generic and say Living on a Prayer is my favorite by them :P And I'm sure the concert was amazing, it's always awesome seeing your favorite band live. I remember the first time I saw As I lay Dying (they were my favorite band in my early teens) the venue was so large in comparison to the crowd, so it was all open and there was so much craziness going on. I'd still consider it one of the best shows I've been to. Ahh, very nice, can't go wrong with Fender, and Ibanez make excellent guitars as well; One of my best friends has always played Ibanez so I've had a lot of experience with em. Personally, I'm an ESP guy, own a couple in the Viper series, Viper Standard being my main guitar, and I've played or owned a lot of models from their other series as well. Hahah, I hate my acoustic too :P I think my next guitar will be a nice steel string. I'd like to have a go at improving my fingerstyling skills, learn a few of Andy McKee's tunes (if you haven't heard his stuff look him up, the guy's a genious) Yus, being broke sucks ._. But you've still got a bit before Skyward Sword's released, hopefully you'll have enough by the time it comes out, and If you do manage to get it, tell me how it is :] I love LoZ but don't really have much interest in SS :/ ...And that's a good question, lol, *googles* I build computers, work on computers, enjoy computers, game on computers, it's sort of a broad interest :P Edit: Oh, and I was actually really disappointed in Lights' new album. It lacks the melodic flow of her usual work :/ I wouldn't say it's bad but, definitely unexpected.
Got LIGHTS' new CD yesterday! I actually like her first one better but I'm sure this one will grow on me. If I recall, I didn't even like her music at first and had to listen to it several times before I was like, dang, this is really good! haha So you should definitely pick Siberia up if you haven't yet.
Aw, haha, what's wrong with the midwest? Trust me, though, I know how you feel about getting out. I live about as far south as you can get before you hit the Gulf of Mexico. It's an INCREDIBLY boring city.... I like some stuff off The Sound of Madness but other than that album, I don't really like Shinedown. Just .45 but my ex kind of ruined that one for me by telling me what the song made him think of which was er... not pleasant. Aw, man! I'm OBSESSED with Bon Jovi. They're my favorite band, actually. That concert was beyond words. But, you said you like some of their work, right? Which stuff? Uh oh... you gave me permission to ramble! O_o "You shouldn't have done that." Ah, yeah.. I play. Not too grandly, I might add. haha I have a Yamaha FG-200 (I think it's 200) series acoustic from '89 and a Mexican Fender Strat. (which I lovvve) I hate that acoustic though, man. I'm buying an Ibanez I fell in love with at Guitar Center soon though. What about you, what guitar(s) do you own? Ah yes, being broke. I know the feeling. Still not sure how I'm going to afford LoZ Skyward Sword! I have it preordered with the lowest amount right now. (which is $5) but I gotta come up with 65 more bucks! (why do we call them bucks anyways?) Anywho, I'll shut up now. PS I love this: "Shouldn't this be titled 'autobiography'?" hahaha Also, I see "computers" as one of your interests. What do you mean by that?
Yup, Kansas City. Probably the best city in the Midwest but the fact that it's even in the Midwest drags it down.. Can't wait to get out. Haha, awesome, Shinedown are pretty good, not a huge fan of Bon Jovi but I do like some of their work. Hahaha, no worries about rambling.. ramble away! And it is amazing indeed, like most of her acoustic stuff. Which reminds me, I read in your 'about me' section that you play guitar? Me too :] What guitar(s) do you own? I won't be picking up Dark Souls cause I'm broke like always T.T Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll have some spare cash though.
