I'm not exactly sure of where I left whoever is remaining reading this, but alas, I'll give a brief timeline of what has passed.
Around May:
-started jamming with guitarist. We hang out, practice, or write songs 2-3 times a week from about this point on.
-I dye half my hair purple
-having a wonderful summer of campfires, swimming in the river, running along the trail
June:
-by this time we are jamming with a drummer and trying to get a band together, calling ourselves "The Unexpected". After a few weeks, and discussing what we want to do with this, the drummer only wants to do covers and maybe a few originals. Basically, creative differences leads guitarist and I to break off from drummer.
-around this time I was working canvassing and telemarketing at my job, and several signs were telling me to make the next move to become a sales rep
-after basically asking for a promotion, and a bit of resistance, I get the job, which is commission only.
-2 weeks later, I go to texas for a week to visit my family, and have an awesome time. Chlorine drains out all purple, leaving mostly bleach blonde and slight green. :/
-find out that week in texas my dad has colon cancer, and get to see him after surgery before I leave
July:
I honestly don't remember much of this month besides more songmaking, getting good but also ripped off at job, lots of hanging out at bars and dancing and stuff, lots of karaoke, more fun summery stuff
August:
-pretty much like July
-find out Above and Beyond will be playing in October at UMass. Excitement of awesomeness and getting to see them twice in one year.
September:
-first half of month pretty much like August
-find out Above and Beyond concert is cancelled. Utter disappointment. :(
-I know that my singing is as good as it's gonna get by myself, and I take up a vocal coach from my church, and start getting old-school lessons
-sometime around this month I meet my mentor. She needed a connection to a health network I'm in, and we connect on a very spiritual level.
-reconnect with guy that was almost my roommate, through okcupid we go on a date, and pretty much jump into a relationship because the connection is so strong. So, basically, I get a boyfriend.
October:
-Some of my roommates are getting things stolen, and I'm the prime suspect. Ergo, I get kicked out. Yeah, that sucked a lot. I really felt like I belonged there. :(
-My boyfriend breaks up with me. Yeah that sucked a lot too. By the end of the week we get to an ultimatum, because he doesn't want to be with anyone else, I can't keep getting hurt like that. But, we get back together. It still sucked after that.
November:
-boyfriend and I are still having trouble. Not a wonderful thanksgiving. But there's still hope for both of us, we can feel it.
-I get my first tattoo. Big singing tiger of awesomeness on my left shoulderblade.
-we finally get a drummer at the end of the month. Sometime over the summer guitarist and I had named ourselves "King's Heart", and then by the end of summer we were "King's Queen". Official band name.
-job has been losing momentum as far as sales go, and I have had several job offers. then I get one that's for a tech start up that has potential for big money.
December:
-my boyfriend and I discover one of the biggest things hurting the relationship, and on his side, he finally gets to resolve some anger issues that he didn't know were affecting him so much.
-I take the tech start-up job. It's been craziness since.
-King's Queen gets offered to get a show in February. So, first show is in February. We get a bassist.
January 2014:
-my boyfriend and I are at a really, really good level now. We still have our fights and are still learning about each other, but it's going well.
-start-up is craziness, hopefully it will pan out soon, and I can go to Texas to visit my family and friends. Mostly my grandma.
-all childhood friends seem to be getting married.
-band is on hiatus due to life in general, but we're still going through with the show
-dad is declared cancer-free
-hair is half purple again
those are some of the important things, so.... LET'S SEE WHAT CRAZINESS HAPPENS NEXT.
