something vague that we're not seeing

I finally know why Sam thought I was so into oldschool! I am in the picture on the cover of one of the Standard Issue (that's E'town Straighedge, mind you! :) seven inches. And I also did "crew vocals" for their first seven inch, so they thank me and list my name with the other kids that did that. And they also thanked me in one of their other seven inches, too (one that Jesse took the cover shot for).

Jesse and I were hanging out and listening to some 411 (which I hadn't heard in freakin' years) and I saw that Standard Issue seven inch and I was like Oh My Fucking God! That's Me! Look, this is the same watch that I've been wearing for the past seven years! It was insanely funny; especially because I only saw them twice and only hung out with those guys once. Heh.

Before that, we were hanging out with Joe and his ex-girlfriend-that-might-be-girlfriend-again and Mike and his girlfriend. It was pretty fun. And then Jesse and Joe wanted me to play a bunch of songs on the acoustic for Joe's ex-girlfriend, so I played Bright Eyes Something Vague and the always wonderful High and Dry. Joe's ex-girlfriend was practically swooning and said that I have a nice voice. I asked her, Isn't it funny that I can't get a girlfriend? Heh.



Ugh. We practiced this morning. It went pretty well; we worked out a new song and it's awesome. Something in my setup is fucked up; it's not my guitar, it's not my pedals, it's not my amp... Maybe I have a shitty cable or something? All I know is that something is causing my volume to fluctuate, damnit.

When I got home from practice, I was going to start studying for all these tests that I have on Monday and Tuesday... but, of course, I didn't. Instead I watched jerkface play PSOv2. And I made myself some hotchocolate. And then I was feeling really tired, so I took a two hour nap and it was nice. But now, it's an hour later and I'm still not studying. Ugh. This won't be good.

I was supposed to go to a Halloween/Wedding Party. I was supposed to dress up in costume. But I didn't. It started three hours ago. It's going to suck on Monday when I have to tell my friends, Sorry, I just didn't feel up to it.
