I have a lot to say, and not a lot of room to do it in...

So, plenty has happened in the two months or so that've completely shot past me, in both temporal and blog terms. College preparations...Trying to survive high school in the meantime...Banding, of course (and more on that later.)

So. Numero uno!

COLLEGE! Oh, how I hate thee. Every authority figure in my life has told me that this is an extremely stressful process, and that it's the most important decision I'll ever make, and that to get into a decent college, I have to get ferpect (lulz, dyslexia) grades and volunteer half my time away and find a cure for AIDS, and on top of all that, be a Neo-Renaissance artist and/or musical virtuoso. Oh, and I need to ace all my exams.

Is it just me, or does this seem a bit much?

I just want to finish my last few years of school in a place where I feel comfortable. Being told that I need to know where I'm going, and have some sort of focus...It just sort of kills me. I like writing. I like drama. I love art. To do something musical with my life would be a dream. Frankly, I just want to go to a good liberal arts school that offers all that, but there's that social stigma of not attending a wonderful college and majoring in Engineering or something. Especially as the employment process for recent college graduates is now...You need to be an amazing person to make a living, it seems.

I'm too young to have to think about this now. I wish that life didn't come so fast.

So while that goes on, I'm planning to quit this science school (that I've come to absolutely detest to the point of a breakdown recently) next year and concentrate on my writing and literature. Two different Engrish classes and a Drama next year, ftw.

And on a nicer, note…Banding! If you’re on Facebook, find us: the group “Elephant Gun.” We’re sorta working on demos now, coupla live performances lined up in the coming months. And I have an accordion.

This accordion needs a photo to do it justice, but it’s a bit larger than my torso and weighs about a million pounds, but it’s beeootiful. Got it for my birthday…Which was on Friday! I totally forgot. Yeah, so. SEVENTEEN.

I can see rated R movies now. My train of thought also missed a stop somewhere here, but…Whatev. I also got Pan’s Labyrinth and that sort-of new Labyrinth special edition from my bro (he had a theme of sorts going on there) and the accordion of course…

That’ll be fun to play live.

Speaking of music, I listened through Station to Station again over the weekend…And nostalllllgia! So much of it. A year’s worth.

I just realised that my account here will run out in a few days. I don’t know if I have enough money to renew it…And even if I did, I have no time whatsoever. D; I haven’t written a blog in months? What is that?

But it’ll be just my luck that after my sub runs out, Sailor makes his glorious return to the MBs (“Free concert for all current members!”) and I’ll ride a wheelbarrow full of anger right up to the domain headquarters (which is only an hour or so away from me, kekekeke.) It’s hard to believe that almost a year ago, I was going insane over seeing him (or his words, at any rate) on my computer screeeeeen.

Also, the Highline Festival.

Well…I s’pose I have to move on. Though Bowie’ll always have a place in my crummy old heart.

(Also, I still don’t have my prize. ),: )

Anyway. I guess I have to do something productive with my time now. But I sure do miss writing these blogs (and having the time to write ‘em, really.)

Have a great week, and life, all,

- Steph
