Minor @ MindSay 
I've been looking for a good blog host for about a week now. I had initially signed up for Livejournal, but I realized that it had far more settings than I needed. So, I abandoned my Livejournal account and set off in search of a more simple blog. I decided to try Blogger, but I didn't like any of the templates, and when I tried to modify it, it continually played up. So I found My.Opera. Which looked great. Until I tried to put my own header in. The CSS just wouldn't work for me - I swear, that language is evil. It's conspiring against me. It's going to strike when I least expect it. Anyway, after signing up for goodness knows how many other blog hosts, each one of which failed to meet my standards (which, to be perfectly fair, weren't exactly sky-high), I finally found Mindsay. I scouted around the site a bit and it seems to meet every single one of my needs and wants! So, that's how I got here...I told you this was going to be random :).
My username, My Own Eternity, comes from the song "Before The Chance To Leave" by Motion In Colour. The four lines in my header are the lyrics from that song that always seem to grab me. My blog name, Out Of The Blue, wasn't really inspired by anything in particular, it just seemed to fit with both the design of the header and the sheer randomosity of this blog.
I don't have much to say now...just a few dates I don't want to forget:
31st January - Elliot Minor at Wrexham. Gutted we missed the signing, but the gig was awesome! Bought myself a signed poster and hoodie (the hoodie wasn't signed though)!
6th April - Showtime! at Wolverhampton. First time seeing Daniel Boys live; he was amazing, of course! And so was Kerry Ellis, but I wouldn't have expected any less from her! I found out about some really good West End performers, namely Ramin Kairimloo, Chris Key and Rebecca Lock. The students weren't good at all - I know they're only young, but if they want to go into the West End, they're going to have to be a million times better than they were. And the sound guy should have been shot. It's one thing to get the kids' mics wrong, but the pros as well? Off with his head!
12th April - Elliot Minor's album arrived in the post, and it was one of the first 500 to be shipped, which means it's signed! So now I have their autographs twice :), but I haven't met them once :(.
'Til next time, then,
Take care!
Okay folks, the lovely and vocal Goddess I am working with is Brigid! And let's just say I think I perfered Mauve's subtle influences in my life with her preferences then Brigid's..................not that I don't enjoy Brigid's influence *said in a tongue in check voice while grinning*
So how did Brigid get me today? Well as some of you know (the ones that actually read my blog) Randy and I are having some issues. They could be major or the could be minor but either way they have been issues that have been burning for some time now. And one of them is concerning the vechile I drive. Or don't drive in Brigid's case. Right now I am driving a 1992 Astro Van. High in miliage but great on gas. Old looking, dirty on the inside because the last owner never steam cleaned it but other wise cleaned of all trash. We have a 1995 Chevy Lumina sitting in one of our sheds in pretty dayum good condition. The only problems we have with it are the doors. The driver's side doens't open at all and the passenger side door only opens from the inside. Brigid knows that I have been sooooooooooo tired of fighting lately and the past few years I have only really been opening my mouth to Randy on big issues that I have been letting the small ones slide because I just don't have the energy anymore to keep arguing over the same dayum things.
Well she spoke up about 3 weeks ago and told me to get after Randy to get the Luminu up and going before winter hit. I told her that it wasn't a good time right at the moment because I jsut dropped a hundred or so on new brakes on his truck. Well next thing I know Brigid the lovely Goddess made sure the passenger side window of the astro wouldn't go back up. It took me 3 weeks to get Randy to attempt to fix it and what does he do? He shatterst he window in the door! Brigid is laughing the whole time and tells me to start opening my mouth again and to fuck everyone including family memebers who have a problem with me telling it like it is. That is also one of the things she wants me to work on.........I stopped opening my mouth to family memebers because they either ignore me or blame me for issues or say they care about me and then turn around and treat someone who isn't as close to them or not even blood related as queen or king..............she wants me to open my mouth again because so many in the family need to be knocked off their pedestals and I will never get past her to another goddess if I don't start opening my mouth again!
Anyway I have been driving the van as is and driving the truck when it rains (it's got brakes now yaya!) and I had a total unexplainable blonde moment from the neitherworlds! I don't even know how the hell it happened! Until I heard Brigid laughing manicaly in the back ground and Coltin going "MOM! The Truck!"
What did I do? Can someone explain to me how I parked Randy's big ass BLUE truck behind my RED van last night and this moring, I load the kids and myself up into ..........the VAN and promptly back into the TRUCK! I was awake! We weren't running late! Brigid blinded my ass and the kids' asses to the truck sitting behind the van until the back doors of the van went *CRUNCH* and being the Goddess of Metal, she made dayum sure Randy's truck was just fine. A red mark and a few scratches on the chrome grill guard but otherwise just honeky dory! Insurance won't pay for Randy to get a new Grill because it was an add on.......doesn't matter that in the Midwest grill guards are a safety feature! Oh well maybe next year I will buy Randy a new middle peace for his grill guard.
Ya think maybe Brigid wants me to act a lil bit quicker with her influence then Mauve? I think so. It isn't like I don't know how to voice my opinion. TRUST ME! I DO! The last few years I have just stopped voicing it to those who have constantly hurt my feelings, have written me off in various ways, and as Brigid says: "Girl, you have a lot of people you do for both close to you in life and those that live far away and they treat you like crap and think they are the shit! It's time for you to start opening your mouth again and let them see the FIRE in YOUR HEAD and kick them off their pedestals!" And Brigid wants me to start close to home. This should be interesting!
Randy isn't to happy because even though the Astro Van is drivable it looks like a pure rezed out ghetto hoppied ass van now and I refuse to drive it; thus on his three days off for Labor Day.............he is going to get the driver's side door working, he is going to handle the kids, and going to finish his Honey Do List so I can start making the winterizing the house list of things I can't do for him!
I came home and practiced
- All three minor scales (i.e. melodic, harmonic, and natural)
- Do Mi So, fa la Do, Sol ti re, Do
- Do Mi So Mi Do fa la fa Do Mi So Mi Do (8va)Sol Do
- And some of the ones in the book like 113, 118, 123(which is what I got tested on), 158 and 159
Scales: major and minor - i have the most problems with natural minor.. i hate that lowered 7th!
Do mi so mi do fa la fa do mi so mi do (8va)so do
kreuger 201 - which still needs practice, its hard!
PLUS
last..thursday?
when we all stayed in class and sang in the original sight singing book
which lasted for about 40-50 minutes of practicing different numbers on those two pages we have problems with!
I don't want to go anywhere else.
So, if they don't have a social work program, what would I major in that would qualify me for social work, where I can take it to the next level, and get my Master's in it?
But I don't have the money to get my Master's in anything. It'd be a miracle to come up with the money for that.
Or, I could just go back to wanting to be a middle school [psychology] counselor...
That works, too.
I'm still going to double-major, or minor in English Education or General Education, so that I can teach English/Literature if I want.
Maybe being a psychology counselor is best...?
I'm panicking, and now is when I will change my mind a million times at the last minute.
If I choose Social Work, I have to pick another college. If I choose counseling, I won't have to worry about it.
What do I do?!
I need help...
