I Roll Down the Window Then Begin to Breathe In...

"The darkest country road
And the strong scent of evergreen
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home

Then looking upwards
I strain my eyes
And try to tell the difference
Between shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home

"Do they collide?"
I ask and you smile
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn't matter

When you feel embarrassed then I'll be your pride
When you need directions then I'll be the guide
For all time
For all time"
--Death Cab for Cutie


Wow, that was fast. It's almost the end of November. Here's my monthly update, as promised.

Not a lot happened this month.

You know the music show I'm co-host for? Well, not only am I still that, but I'm now the Producer as well. Starting next semester, I will be finding most of the bands playing. Hooray!

So basically, the clinic on campus literally almost killed me. They prescribed me medicine I was allergic to. When I went in a few days later, they told me I was fine, jsut to keep taking it. Well, I started running really high fevers on Day 4. By Day 5 I hardly had enough strength to get out of bed. On Day 6 I was still really weak and disoriented, but I managed to make it through all of my classes. This is the day I notice lots of little red dots appearing all over my body. Finally, on Day 7 the clinic was open again. When the nurse saw me she kinda of gasped. Little did I know, sometime between when I got out of the shower that morning and then I had developed a major rash on my face. Wonderful. Basically, she told me to stop taking my medicine and prescribed me something else saying, "I don't know what you have, but try this." After what had just happened, I wasn't so sure, so I went and picked up the medicine, but consulted my doctor here first. He told it was fine to take, but put me on a ton more medicine to make me feel better. So far it's working. All I really need to go away now is this stupid rash! Argh!

Oh, so I almost died another time this month. You know when you're driving and you go over those hills that kinda take your stomach away? Yea. I was in a car with 5 other friends and we did that. It was awesome so we decided to do it again...but faster. The car literally went airborne. It was intense.

I went to a bunch of good shows this month, most notably, Anathallo on election night. They finished up just as Obama won, so they played two more songs in celebration. Being on the streets of Atlanta that night was so intese. I loved it.

I also went to Gadabout Film Festival at WonderRoot in Atlanta. WonderRoot is a community run art space that I will be working at next summer. Check it out! http://www.wonderroot.org

I bought two new guitars and am now super broke. I bought one for a classical guitar class, and the other just to have. Basically, it's the perfect guitar for me, and I'll quite literally probably never need another one. My classical is a Valence LTD3 and my electric is a Gretcsh G100CEBK.

I decided to write songs for each season and eventually release it as an EP. Fall is pretty well done. Winter will hopefully be done soon.

Hooray Thanksgiving Break. One more week of class, then finals, then a month off for Christmas.

I've had hiccups for the past hour. I think I'm gonna get off of here and fix this issue. Adios!
