| The graduate walks without knowing he's an idiot... |
So the graduation ceremony was less than stellar (filled with late starts, lame speakers and multiple A/V issues) after a wasted day at the senior show. But otherwise, it was great! (HA)
More on that later - It actually was a really nice day, and overall I was pretty happy to have gotten there - albeit, ABSOLUTELY exhausted. I couldn't handle it by the end of the second party.
Apparently, I can't mix and match my friends anymore. I'm glad they all showed up, but jeez - can I just get a day where I don't have to worry about who's doing what to who's house and what the other people are saying? Why can't I just get a day with my separate groups of friends in one place that doesn't end with me being embarassed? One of my friends even said not to mish-mash them anymore, so... Guess that'll just be how it is from here out.
Don't get me wrong - I love my friends. I just keep feeling like I have to plan around most of them all the time, and constantly think about who meets who and how that will pan out. It's frustrating at best.
I can't decide if I'm gonna get depressed or not yet - Usually, I work work work work work work to the last minute with school, and then there's a sudden STOP to everything. I don't know what to do with myself, I get lazy and lethargic and then fall into a small depression. SO FAR - this hasn't happened yet. Perhaps I'll throw myself into other projects soon enough to completely avoid it - that would be swell!
The music projects are SO close to release - years of recordings/demos/broken promises will come to a head THIS MONTH. a new site is in the works, a new sound. Might be interesting - might fail. we'll see.
p.s. - FUCK the smashing pumpkins - Billy, you claimed in 2005 that chicago is your home and you much reunite your smashing pumpkins and continue this legacy of music or whatever. You have snubbed chicago in every single way since then - opening tours in germany and europe - playing festivals that aren't in chicago. Unless you unfurl something great in chicago, this version of the smashing pumpkins sounds more and more like zwan, your most disappointing project yet.
now that I have THAT out of the way - Megan:
Of those songs posted (you know the ones I'm speaking of), Here's the highlights:
Owen - Playing Possum for a peak (there are 2 versions - they're both good)
Owen - Bad news
Owen - That Mouth
Owen - Good Friends Bad Habits
Christie Front Drive - Radio
The Album Leaf - All of it (good for background music while working or sleeping)
Deathcab - I put up the stuff you already had, but lost (or wanted in the first place)
There's a lot of good owen stuff from all those albums, but those are the highlights for me.
I'll share graduation photos when i get them from my sister and parents. I actually was pretty happy that day, and I'm glad I went through all of it. I just hope it was all enough to get me a job and stuff...
I guess I should get outta here.
