When people like the sound of their own voice...

That is another pet peeve of mine. People who talk their heads off, and you feel like they must talk to themselves when they're alone just because they like talking so much. This one girl was walking down the hallway, and shes talking, nay, yelling across the hall to her friend.

Annoying girl: Hey I'll be right back...blablablablabla...I need to blablablablabla...and after that blablablablabla...I also need to go potty!

...stop right there. Who SAYS that??? "I need to go potty"???? Holy crap. A college student sounds like a 5 year old.... Strike two.

Other girl: Ok, me too.
Annoying girl: Ok...blablablablabla I'll be right back.

She says "potty" about 6 more times when she comes back, and I'm just sitting there, annoyed, thinking "what is the world coming to?" When I know it's already gone... So...

Another story. Just as random. Might be pointless to you, but in the actual situation, it would've annoyed you all the same.

My sister. Wow. She loves to talk. She throws in hand motions to elaborate the things she says, but her voice clearly takes care of all the emphasis she'd ever need to cover 10 conversations...

I drive her to college in the mornings because she doesn't have her license. Strike one.

She talks the WHOLE ride to her boyfriend Bryan, or just asks me stupid questions. Strike two.

She turns down my music if she can't talk over it. Strike three.

She's out.

Anyway... you get the idea. I can't stand people who just talk because they love the sound of their own voice. Stupid questions, phrases that include the grammar and vocabulary of a 5 year old... yeah. Anything like that... Drives me crazy...

The Office: Season 3

So... What's my favorite show on television right now? The Office. It's completely hilarious, and probably one of the best written shows ever. Today, Season 3 came out on DVD. So what do I do? I get chips and dip and I have a marathon. With myself. :-/

It's definitely funnier to watch with other people, but what am I supposed to do when everyone I know is at school or at work? Oh well... still funny. Even if I am watching it alone.

I haven't seen any of season three, so I'm extremely excited. :-)

Boys...

Do they all just make it a point to have the worst timing in the world?? Why do you wait so long to say and do things you want to until it's like, too late to? Or not really an option? Granted, girls do it too. I think it just comes up more with guys... I don't understand it... Oh well. I guess I never really will. :-P

Another Update

So I'm going to be performing the music special at my church on September 23rd. I'm feeling a little anxious about it. Number one, because I don't know what to do, and number 2, because I doubt that Adam will sing with me... I was hoping to make it more of a duet than a solo because I freak myself out if I have to do anything on a stage, or anywhere for that matter, by myself. If you have any suggestions please let me know. I may end up writing something, but I don't know if i'll have the time for a project like that... In any case, I'm a little nervous. Three whole weeks before I even do it.

Also, apparently my left hand is allergic to silver. Maybe just this one finger. It keeps on getting irritated any time I wear my silver ring on my middle finger and I don't know why... my other hand is chill with silver. So whatever...

Goals for the near future:

- Save up a ton of money so I can afford stuff
- Make up blueprints and construction plans for my dark room
- Buy an SLR
- Take a ton of pictures to build my portfolio
- Take up more painting jobs for money on the side
- Get straight As
- Clean my room (this one always gets started but never really finished)
- Buy the third season of The Office and have a really big marathon
- Start running again
- Get my oil changed
- Hang out with people as often as possible
- Get out more
- Find out what's in Ohio...or isn't in Ohio...
- Set priorities
- Learn to play this stupid song on guitar...
- Record more demos
- Write a book about my life. haha

Update

I'm gonna get back into doing this. It definitely relieves my stress. I like being able to just spill out whats on my mind and not really care about who's reading it, who cares, and why. lol

The fall semester started yesterday...nothing spectacular there.

I had a really awesome dream last night - I was really dedicated to my music, touring, and had an album out. That was exciting. I woke up excited about it. And it makes me want to actually do it. I probably wont... but I really really want to. haha

You know what else I want? One of those DJ sound mixing tables. Those are really fun to play with. My friend Dan has one, and he showed me how a lot of it works. Kinda. I should play on it some more before I actually buy one, but it's definitely something that interests me. I make playlists all the time. Timed, themed, sequenced, conversational, paced, or even a story line. I can do it. One time, I made a 12 part series of playlists. All organized by key, then by subject matter, and then carefully ordered to flow from one to the next and so on. Even if that meant breaking songs apart or just taking pieces of one, and stringing it on another one. Yeah. OCD. I know...

Other than that, things are pretty good... I'm pretty broke, but I'm used to it. I used to have a lot of money, but now I have a car... Bla... When I have the money though, I'm going to buy three things:

1) A digital and 35 mm SLR
2) A mixing table
3) Happiness

Jimmy Eat World

So it's been a while. Thought I'd put up an update.

I'm going to see my absolute favorite band in the entire WORLD on July 28th, 2007 in Knoxville, TN. Why so far? Because it's worth it. haha That, and it's the closest they're coming to MD this month. After July they're going back overseas to tour in Europe and other countries. Sucks.

I'm also really excited because it's their pre-Chase the Light tour - their new album comes out in September, so they'll probably be playing some new material that nobodys heard before. :-D

I'll be leaving with my sister on the 27th, probably pretty early, to drive there. Yeah. Drive. Eww. It should be fun though. I love adventure.

The 26th I'm going to warped tour with some of the greates people I know. That should be fun too. So I have a music-filled week coming up. It's gonna be pretty intense. Wish me luck. :-)
