Guitar @ MindSay

My love of the new Metallica album has me playing guitar quite a bit again.  It also has me discovering that I'm not quite happy with the metal crunch that I get out of my guitars.  That has me looking at new pedals and this lady...

I'm hitting at least 3/4 of the notes on a very long guitar hero song. It's called my life. XD

I have a ton of things going on, but I seem to have most of them under control, and I am not too behind on my homework. I've pretty much been keeping up, calling the people I need to call, completing the volunteering I need to complete, etc. It's very stressful, with a ton of things on my mind, but I don't think I'm failing the song yet!

It is kind of a band effort though, I have a friend who's been hanging out with me a lot, in fact playing guitar hero somewhat, and he's been awesome.

There's my update, I need sleep. (in fact I didn't even realise I wrote this, looking back a second time. I don't need sleep, I want it. and I meant to say I need to get back to my homework. x.x)

I am very behind in writing in my journal though, which is bad. And teachers hate me and make everything all the more frustrating. It seems that perhaps it is in their job description, or requirements, I don't know.

I also need to start eating healthier again, and exercising more. As there has been hardly any food in the house, I guess it's not exactly my fault, and this past few weeks have been especially fast paced and very packed, but I hope to get back to normal soon!

My friend is sick and I plan on going to give them soup and hugs!

Still no sleep, my throat has been sore, I've been coughing and sneezing somewhat and have a runny nose, and a bit depressed, but not too bad I guess.

I have a job and I'm not completely failing at life right now, so I should be thankful, and I am.

Song length: Unknown,  Percentage notes hit so far: aprx. 70%+

Streak: 10, SP phrases: 1/unknown

Goodnight!

Well it's go time...almost. Today is the day I go back out into the wild and actually play guitar for more people than just my own family again. It's only been..what? THREE YEARS. I am so nervous I could be considered part of the new butterfly exhibit at the zoo. I hope I can turn that nervous energy into positive, non-huge-mistake-making energy. Playing guitar alone in front of people is just... well... nerve wracking because your mind goes so fast through the song that your fingers try to keep up and then :

disaster....

so I am praying, as I have been, that my mind can slow down and I can truly give honor to God's name by not screwing up royally today. So if you want to pray with me that the Spirit takes over so I can't get in His way and mess it up, that would be really cool!

Stray Cats... Good Band... But up until a few weeks ago i've been singing the song with the lines "Pinko's scream 'n shout!!" But I found that it was "People Scream 'n shout!!"

Dixie currently feels:

 Roxxorz!

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Ach, what a gap.

How long HAS it been?

Dixie cannot be arsed counting the white numbers without clickable links.

 

But yes, tis all thanks to the legendary poster Animalluver, only Catluver to me on Mindsay now.

(Argh, that's going to confuse me.) (I'd call her by her total, but I dunno if she'd like that. :D)

 

 

Well... In July, nothing really HAS happened.

 

The only major life-changing event was when I suffered a 4-week long period, and got sent to the doctor's. They assumed I was anaemic, and said I needed a blood test.

So being the tyranopanophobic that I am, I waited in dread - losing more sleep at night than I normally do.

 

On the night before the needle, I didn't sleep at all. I started a new save on Pokémon Sapphire and played it all night, on my DS - with these headphones my mam got with her phone.

 

OH MY GOD, THEY'RE WELL LOUD.

They proper blow your head off.

 

Nothing better than cranking the volume up to full every time a Blackbelt or a Psychic challenges you. - My word, their music is legend.

 

So yeah, I went to the doctor's - and the nurse had given me a local anesthetic cream beforehand, so that got lobbed all over my elbows - and my arms were numbed for the whole day.

Right, so I couldn't feel the needle - but it's not the pain of them that scares me.

 

But either way, the nurse was talking to me like I was a really little kid - so I felt really small and weak, helpless and that. But she was nice.

Actually, there were two - the first one had to call for a second because my veins are really deep.

 

But yeah, I think mam was feeling a bit sorry for me after that, so... She took me into Morrison's and bought me some Rolo doughnuts.

Oh, they were NECTAR. Chocolate topping with chocolate 100's&1000's, and caramel in the middle. *Orgasmz*

 

 

But over the last couple of weeks, I've done nothing but stay awake till 5-6AM, go to sleep, wake up between 2-4PM, eat stuff - go on the forums, watch Big Brother - rinse, repeat.

 

How boring am I. :)

 

Oh, and speaking of rinse, our fucking shower's broken.

I FUCKING HATE BATHS.

I proper don't feel clean afterwards, because I can't rinse my hair properly. ARGHHHHHH...

 

 

Mam bought me Guitar Hero: On Tour on Monday. :)

It's a lot harder than the games with the actual guitar, I'll admit that.

 

I was really doubting it at first, because there's a lot of shit songs - but as soon as I got to level 4, the Greek Arena...

OH MY WORD...

 

First, we've got some crazy jazz shit about cats! That's Stray Cat Strut, by... The Stray Cats. Rofl.

 

Follow that up with some ZZTOP, MUTHAFUCKERS!!!

La Grange! It's on Guitar Hero III!

 

Another song from GH3, we've got Black Magic Woman!

(And for some reason, they censor the word 'devil'...)

 

BUT OH MY, THAT'S NOTHING!

BEAT ALL FOUR SONGS, AND YOU GET THE FUCKING ENCORE!!!

 

- THEY CALL US "PROBLEM CHILD", WE SPEND OUR LIVES ON TRIAL, WE WALK AN ENDLESS MILE...

WE ARE THE YOUTH GONE WILD!!!!!!!-

 

I've downloaded that song, about... Well, it was about 8 hours ago now?

Well, it's already got a play count of 45. :D
