My older brother was listening to this really awesome band earlier, and he let me borrow his CDs so I could listen to them too. They're really good... grunge, if any of you know what that is. I hadn't heard of it before today, but it's cool. My big brother's so awesome... He's always ahead of the trends.
I just don't know how people can be so ignorant about this stuff. Music is more than a sound... it's a lifestyle. Something you dedicate your all to, and--
Oh man, I keep getting caught up in all the new emotions I've been introduced to... Embarrassing. I need to go let off some steam... I think I'll write some poetry.
Okay! I've checked my locker twice, and I don't think I have anything indecent in there (unless you count my gym shorts). Just typical school stuff, plus a few music history books and a spare guitar. What are they looking for in this inspection, anyway?
Shino's party was pretty good. I think my Chris Carrabba costume went down well, and I enjoyed myself even if I didn't score. Don't remember much of the night, but I guess that's not unexpected when I'm a lightweight not used to drinking. Though I do remember getting really emotional while I was singing to a girl... kinda embarrassing.
Hey, I totally forgot -- I got a part time job! I'll be selling guitars. The pay isn't great, but hopefully it'll be more exciting than most minimum wage jobs.
You'd never believe how busy I've been lately. I got really inspired a couple of weeks ago, and the words are just flowing! Some of the songs I've been writing don't feel right for the guitar, though... I've been trying to teach myself to play the piano, you know, for setting the mood, but it's not going so well.
On the other hand, though, my fingers are finally callousing! All the guitar practice I've been doing is finally paying off. I just feel like a... like a real guitarist, you know? (Oh man, hang on... I must have something in my eye. *sniff*)
Right, okay. I have to say, being a hall monitor is working out pretty well for me. When the corridors are empty, I have enough time to make notes of any inspiration I get -- and there are certainly enough girls in school to inspire me. Besides, I even think some of them are impressed by my singing.
Hey, Kotetsu, you wanna come over to my place tonight? I was hoping you'd help me out with a song that's giving me trouble. To add incentive, we can watch The Matrix when we're done. I'll even pretend to be Trinity, but this is the last time, I swear.
Friday niight... I'm currently sitting around, twiddling my thumbs. Thinking I might wanna practise guitar, but perhaps not. I feel like there's something I'm supposed to be doing right now, and I can't remember what it is...
Wait a minute ... wasn't there some sort of ... party ... going on this weekend?
....!#@Y*&ur90eqw~! I'M LATE!
*scrapes up piles of stuff from around the room... enough to have the essentials to crash there overnight and takes off out the door, dropping random articles of clothing on the way*
Well, I think the first few days of school went well. Unlike Kotetsu, I managed to avoid any conflict. Uhm. Mostly.
I discovered that there's another student in Konoha High who carries a guitar around. I feel so ripped off! Argh! He even went as far as to insult me. e.e I concluded that this calls for some *cough*friendly*cough* competition. And I thought to myself, what better time to start than immediately?
I spent most of the time that I was supposed to be monitoring the hallways serenading any and every female student that passed me in between periods. I think it went pretty well, aside for two things... I got far too emotionally involved in my music and started crying... broke down right in the middle of the hallway. I should stop that. Getting kinda embarrassing. And the second was that one of the girls seemed kinda frustrated with the fact that I was holding up the entire crowd. Oops. ^^; I guess not everyone appreciates good music the way I do. Oh well.
I apologize to anyone who got shoved into lockers while I was "busy".
I decided to join band and choir. We'll see how that goes. And ooh. I heard that Mr. Gai is holding some sort of musical. I am so in. I need more opportunities to make myself more well-known than Gaara.
And the first thing I've realised is that I'm not very well-known around the school. It makes no sense. I've been here for two years already, and barely anyone knows who I am. Well, this year that'll all change. Kotetsu and I were appointed hall monitors. We have shiny sashes and everything! Oo, shiny. And I actually practised my guitar-playing over the summer, so there will be no mistaking my wonderful music for anyone else's. Hah.
The freshmen are hot. The girls, I mean. They'll do well as a source of inspiration. So many new opportunities to write songs! This year I'm trying a new angle with my music. It seems that this whole 'love-sucks-life-sucks-i-wanna-cry-and-write-poetry-about-it' phase is in, so that's what my lyrics will be about. They refer to it as "emo". Yes... I've even styled my hair to fit the profile. I feel so... so... "in". I wish I had a better way to put it. I need a new thesaurus. At this rate, I might start running out of words and then I'll never be able to make rhymes in my songs.
I left my guitar at home today. It was Kotetsu's suggestion. He said I was coming on too strong last year, and that I should cool it for the first day of school. But then he started off on a rant about the government and I tuned him out.
There are some interesting characters running around the halls this year. I guess I'll get to meet most of them at some point... with my new hall-monitoring responsibilities and all. They've never had hall monitors before this year. I guess they're getting too many complaints about students getting shoved into lockers. ...Am I supposed to stop them? I only weigh 120 pounds!
My schedule is normal. No point talking about it. There's a club fair this week, though! I think I'll join the band. Or the choir. They will definitely need my musical skills. Ugh, did you hear them last year? e.e
apathetic
creative
in a rush!
