There's a hole in the world....

Shopping for clothes has got to be the single most depressing activity in the world. I walk into Kohl's and "Hello, Welcome to Slutville!" All the clothes are just so trashy and cheaply-made... I need better places to shop. I just can't get over the fact that most of the "shorts" are less shorts and more denim underwear. -_- *le sigh*

But, on a better note, I got a haircut today and I'm quite pleased with it! Also, went to a going out of business sale at an antique store and got all these cool boxes and things, most of which are not actually antiques, but I like them anyway. ^_^

Lastly, my brother and I just had a mini-photo shoot, and so I've got even more pictures of my beautiful, beautiful bass. Woot!

'S about it for now...

I. Am. So. Happy.
Just got my very own bass guitar and I looooooooove it. Shall have to take pictures and upload them here or somethin'. Went to the music store today with Laura and picked one out pretty quickly. My bank account is crying just a little bit at the moment, but I think it was worth it. They had a cheaper bass/amp set, but it was smaller than a regular bass and it had a really crappy sound. The one I got sounds nice, and it was about twice as much, but I'm quite pleased with it. ^________________^ Now I can finally practice at home! Swoot.
Anyway, that was most definitely the most exciting part of my day, so I'm off to practice on my shiny new bass!

So, my weekend was cool. Went to stay in West Virginia in a friend's cabin for the weekend. That was nice and relaxing, except for the bugs. (I am horribly bug-phobic. *sigh*) But hey, there were ants in the fridge. I think that would gross most people out. Anyway, 'twas cool: Saw some deer, went swimming, spent lots of time reading...

At the moment I'm reading this biography on Eleanor Roosevelt for History, and it's actually pretty good. We've read two other biographies this semester and they were both pretty boring, but this one is pretty descriptive, so it stays interesting. It's not just a bunch of facts and dates, which I absolutely hate. I'm finding out more about Eleanor Roosevelt than I ever knew before.

Still practicing bass guitar. I'm beginning to seriously consider buying one, but still trying to decide whether or not I'll actually keep up with it. Laura and I are working on writing our own songs. I started one over the weekend called "Fish on the Prowl" (based on the character of Jesse from the first two eps. of Buffy), and so far I'm liking it. It's making me have more sympathy for Jesse than I ever did before. Hopefully someday we'll be able to do decent recordings of our stuff. And I might post the lyrics for the song on here once they're done.

Erm... that's pretty much it for now. Gotta go eat dinner. Hamburger Helper. Joy.

But I'll leave you with a cute Harry Potter fic I read this morning:
Registration, by: samvimes
Summary: When they get roped into waiting to register James' unborn son for Hogwarts, Sirius and Remus have a long day's wait, and a small dilemma -- nobody's picked a name yet. Faturing the Patils, Finnigans, Longbottoms, Malfoys, and one Weasley as supporting cast...
Enjoy!

Oh, no. I'm getting into the never-posting thing again... Must. Not. Happen.

Problem is, nothing terribly interesting's been happening lately. Well, that's not entirely true...
We finally got cable internet!! Yay for not being dark-agey anymore! I love it so much, everything loads instantly! Been watching videos online all weekend. Youtube.com is a really cool website.
Also, Laura's been teaching me to play bass guitar. It's quite fun. The only song I can play really well so far is Green Day's "American Idiot", but I also sort of know a few Nirvana songs and one song that we're writing ourselves.
My birthday's tomorrow... which is weird, cuz I can't believe a whole year's gone by...

Aaaand that's pretty much it. I really need a beta reader, becuase I've got this short Buffy fic that I want to post, but I'm not even sure if I like it anymore...
And now I need to go work on my huge IT project due Friday. So, more later.

Did you know there's a city in California called Sunnyvale? Wonder if it's anywhere near where Sunnydale's supposed to be...

AND there's a place called Vacaville. (Cows!)

Yes, this is what I do when I'm supposed to be translating Latin...
