music rants.

I downloaded a thing. It's software. It's um...a thing. It makes music.

I love dubstep music, and for a while now I've been wanting to create some. So.....I forked over $43 bucks out of my Christmas money and bought a digital music kit.

Then I made a flipping epic beat (no, really. It was fantastic) and the program decided to freeze on me and I lost the whole track. Guh.

I cried.

And then I went and watched Pentatonix music videos and Andy Grammer's Keep Your Head Up and Superfruit's Try Not To Laugh video and felt tons better. Then I went and discovered some more interviews and the like and now I feel bummed again. Silly little crush I've got. I'll get over it. I was obsessed with Jamie Campbell Bower and his voice/smile/hair/personality for a while, and now I'm okay. It looks like Avi Kaplan is the new obsession. Why do I always end up picking the quiet ones to like? Can I hear you say "I'ma teach you how to love?" (My favorite line from their song Love Again...of course it's Avi's line. That bass voice is whoa.) Seriously. Pentatonix is awesome.

Okay. Now that I'm done with that....I ought to go to sleep. But I'm not tired. I stay up late every night into the wee hours watching Pentatonix videos and Superfruit videos. Not good....

Meh. Laters!!!! I'm going to go watch the Try Not to Laugh video again and get happy and then go to sleep.

OH! BTW...Lindsey Stirling has a new song/album out called Shatter Me... lawd. I had the jitters by the time the song was done. She is amazing.

2014

hi. i blog.
I'm talking to a guy I met at a party who is ten years older than me (yikes). Don't see that going anywhere. I'm teaching myself to sing (that's definitely going somewhere). I'm going to finish my novel in 2015. I'm going vegan again in January (or is it vegetarian)? I use parentheses a lot (have you noticed)? I still blog. It's been four years. I'm terribly insecure, yet people have told me I come across as confident (how the heck does that work?) I've got one less problem without you. Yes you. I love Christmas but have had a hard time getting into the spirit this year. I'm a Pentaholic (Pentatonix is the best band in the universe and I'm going to meet them one day.) I make youtube videos. No I don't. Sometimes I do. I will, more. I love water. I need to move out on my own. Soon. I have two cats, three goldfish, and a Betta fish (yes, another one. I'm trying again). I can play lots of instruments just by picking them up. Well. The guitar, the piano, the drums and the clarinet. Is that a lot? Apparently my favorite color is red. I thought it was green. (It used to be purple). I have a job. No, not a career. A job. I'm working on my career. I still want to travel, but I haven't figured out how to pay for that yet. I will. I don't like interacting with people, but my job requires it. Ugh. It's not so bad, really. I want an iPhone. I don't know how to use one. I just realized that I shut myself down a lot. That's not good. Let's be better. I'm good at things. Negotiating. Writing. Listening. Drawing. Singing. (uh, I'm getting there). I can rap (who knew?) I'm a flaky sort of person when it comes to appointments and responsibilities. I like to sit cross-legged a lot. I hate when people spell "a lot" as "alot." I met jamie campbell bower this year and he spoke to me and signed my book. I want kids some day. When I'm at work I'm convinced I don't want kids. I'm also convinced I don't want kids whenever I get my period. But that's normal. I finally have fairy lights in my bedroom but I need pingpong balls to turn them into lanterns. My hair is finally waist-length. I'm learning to come to terms with my acne scars and love them. They're a part of me. I have a car. Her name is Katniss. I've started grad school for the career I really want. I'm becoming strong again. On the inside. Where it counts. I am learning to be me.
