Saturday morning... :) I haven't written in this in quite a long time, so we'll see what I can ramble off about. The biggest piece of news being of course that... Rock Band 2 was released little under a week ago. I sang for about 11 hours between midnight Saturday night and Monday, trying to just unlock all the songs.. but apparently I blow at doing that, because it's now a week later and I still haven't unlocked all of them! I've only had a chance to do solo play twice since the game came out, however. Sunday-Monday, and then I did some Thursday. Last I checked I was 11th with a good 7 songs yielding 200k points left to unlock. My voice was wrecked after Monday, so I didn't sing for a couple of days. Then my band wanted me to play so I ran what I had gained back of my voice back into the ground every night for a few consecutive days.
Speaking of my band... it's called "The Midnite Meat Train". Don't get me started on that name, lol. My choices from the bandmates were that, "The Note-Devouring Sex Tornadoes", and "Vix and the Choads" (although the last one wasn't really a choice, it was my personal favorite... haha). I was like "Wtf guys, people already like to say I'm a whore for no reason, must you attach me to a sexual band name too?!", But whatever makes them happy. haha. The band consists of PriestMLH (Michael) KOTEric and Centerstrain. I love them all to death, and we have a really great time playing =] Centerstrain is a beast... We won two battle of the bands challenges from the first week! Apparently we are going to win T-shirts or something, pretty sweet. I'm gonna wear that thing all the time LOL.
So what else.. I really would like to take the time to sit down and work on my solo scores but I haven't really had any time. I got to play with ink on Friday at work, which was full of fun. Went to a concert last night with my co-workers son, which turned out to be a really great time. My roommate and I are here all alone, and we don't really know anyone (I can't remember if I explained this already or not but we are doing an internship this semester in Pennsylvania, and we go to school normally at Clemson in South Carolina). The son goes to college away from here too, but he can come home on the weekends. I talked him into coming home next weekend so I have someone to play video games with, so that will be fun. Plus, everyone at work keeps telling me about this awesome club and I really want to go but my roommate doesn't drink and I don't have anyone to go with :( Perhaps I can swindle him into taking me to that as well.
I haven't logged into facebook in awhile, I never use that thing. My friends at college are always yelling at me because I don't put enough effort into facebook and it's a huge social status thing. But whatever, I can't be bothered lol. I do miss school though.. so much. I wish I could be at college forever. The hours are way better than working, you're with all your friends, there's always stuff to do on the weekends... *sigh* January cannot come soon enough.
Oh, I forgot to mention that my band FBFCed Pinball Wizard and Michael put up a video of it. It was me recording, so you can hear see the vocal chart. Thank God you can't hear me because I sounded like I had been smoking for 20 years and I could barely hit the high notes.
I really need to write an e-mail to JC, but I have been putting it off forever and ever, which is pretty bad considering it will most likely get things resolved that I want resolved.
I'm going to a wedding tonight, I have to drive home soon (first I have to get dressed), and it will be a lot of fun. I'll get to see my friends from highschool for the first time in forever and have a little bit to drink perhaps... hahaha ;) Who am I trying to fool?
Frankie told me I should put a picture of me in a paper bag in this blog, but that is definitely not happening haha. P.S. I love fcphantom. <3

Hmph. Ended up uploading that video that night, it can be viewed here.. Named it "story featuring everyone except JamesLikeCoulter", which is ultra fitting considering the circumstances. I really should be working harder on hear your name sung video, but I'm having issues of being overwhelmed with the amount of names I was presented with. I was not anticipating anywhere close to the number of responses I received, and it's throwing me for a loop. I am still going to get it done of course, it just may take me awhile and I might have to split it up into at least two videos... but maybe more. I do know the first song I am going to do though =].
Last night was pretty good, things got resolved between my "whatever" and I after I had a long conversation with one of his good friends and his fiancee. I say whatever because we have been trying to pin point just what we are for quite awhile now, and I don't think either one of us are eager to jump the gun and put a title on it.. since that's when things usually go astray in relationships.
Oh, speaking of the "hear your name sung" video, I might go home this weekend. My mom really wants me to since I'm much closer to home on this internship compared to when I am at college, and we just built a new lake house. I wasn't able to use it over the summer because I was doing a different internship then. Which kind of sucked, I lived alone for the first time over the summer in a town where I didn't know anyone, and didn't work with anyone else my age. Going out was not an option. I was often really lonely because I wasn't used to living by myself.. or not being around other people my age, for that matter. While this internship is still away from school, it helps by about 50 times that I am living with someone else. Things are much better. So back to the original point... if I go home this weekend (which my mom has really been stressing me to do), my brother and I would sit down and compile all the names and make it a fun project. By myself it's just rather tedious.
So what else. I could talk about my job but I'm not really in the mood considering I just got home from it, it's finally the weekend and I'm super excited. My roommate and I have pretty much just been sitting around watching a whole lot of "What not to wear", which is kickass. Two things I know how to do are sing and dress. hahaha. Last night we went to Five Guys (which I had never been to before), and rented "Juno" and "Lars and the real girl". We both have seen Juno but got it as a back up just in case LATRG sucked balls. Which.. it was strange. But it entertained us the entire time. Not a movie I would watch again, though. Basically it's about this guy that is delusional, and having issues dealing with his life, so he orders a sex toy off the internet and pretends it's his fiancee. I can see someone thinking it was super funny, but it wasn't really my cup of tea as far as humor goes. Was funny in parts, but not hilarious.
Anyway, might pack up my stuff and leave tonight, not sure. Also might write more later.

I am very distraught right now because I have done something to piss off someone very close to me. Someone that I am almost certain that I am in love with. Lately things haven’t been going so well, not that I can really complain because things with him have never been that bad overall. He doesn’t trust that I am not true to him, when I am. His mistrust causes me to not trust him, and our relationship keeps going in a nasty loop.
But that’s not what has really been the problem lately.. we just haven’t been talking as much as I would like recently. We used to sit around and talk for at least two hours every night, and it was never boring. He always wanted to talk to me… now it’s always me wanting to talk to him. I am a little bit afraid that if he reads this he will be angry with me for posting our problems on the internet, so I’ll just leave it at that.
I will be uploading a new video tomorrow night to hopefully keep my subscribers happy, because I haven’t been working on the names video like I should have been. I have just been busy and distracted. Last night James was pissing me off because he left his xbox on and I didn’t realize he wasn’t at it. I sent him a bunch of joke messages I knew he would think were funny… and he recorded it and made a video out of it. Lol. What a fetus. The funniest part is reading the comments, it’s basically broken up into 25% saying I’m a guy, 25% saying LOLOL JAMES YOU ROCK, 25% saying I must be an ugly female, and 25% saying I’m a slut. I’m glad I have a sense of humor unlike 75% of those people or I would die a lot earlier from stress.
*Sigh* It’s already almost midnight and I haven’t really done anything I wanted to do tonight. My co-workers wanted to come over for dinner with me and my roommate, then play some games, so we did that. But now I’m sitting here, not tired, and not wanting to go to sleep because when I wake up it’s time for work. I miss school so much. But, if I had to do an internship anywhere else it would be 100x worse. More about that and my roommate later.. Going to tell Twitter I updated this blog, see if he called me, and going to bed.
