So I'm listening to music, and I've decided that if I had to choose only three bands whose music I could listen to for the rest of my life; I think I'd be okay. The Juliana Theory, Eve 6, and Anberlin. Yes, it's a very bizarre and far-fetched scenario, but I'm good at those.

Speaking of The Juliana Theory... this song just started playing. Which made me remember probably the most amazing concert I've ever been to... which was seeing them on their brief reunion tour last August. Hmm, August... appropriate since this song is called August in Bethany... it's also the song that they opened up the show with.

With the sounds of the ocean crashing
7:30 Friday evening
Everything comes tumbling down
I choke back each tear that bleeds
I’d rather rest forever in your arms
I’d rather stay here than go but I know that
I should leave as i sit here helpless

Don’t go you said you wouldn't
You said you wouldn't
Don’t go you said you wouldn't
You said you couldn't

I think of our time together is it fading
Am I dreaming everything you said lives on
I cherish our memories
I want to kiss your tears away tonight
It's hard to give up the one
You never thought you'd leave

Don’t go don't go
Your eyes they see through my soul
Don't go don't go
You say as I walk out your door

With the sounds of the ocean crashing
7:30 Friday evening
Everything comes tumbling down

:( It's too bad they broke up for good. They had some pretty amazing songs.

And that concert was pretty bomb.com. Certainly superior to the Anberlin concert in October. I was sorely disappointed in that one.

Yeah, Anberlin was incredibly disappointing... it would've been so much better if we didn't have to sit through the other two horrible bands first.... and just had a longer Anberlin set instead.

The three bands I mentioned are the only ones worthy of having their entire discography on my iPhone at all times... since I got my original phone, I've always had all three of them clogging up a ton of space. :24:

I was mostly disappointed with the lack of older music. I felt like we went and listened to a live recording of their most recent CD. And Crash Kings wasn't a horrible band. I thought they were awesome. That other group on the other hand...

I agree on the lack of older music... I think they did new song, old song, new song, and so on... which was blah. You're right though, Crash Kings was pretty good... I think I was just ready for Anberlin by that point after we had to sit through the horribleness that was Civil Twilight. Ugh.

I'm trying to decide if I want to try and find another MMO to play, or just wait for The Old Republic and see if its any good, or give up on them entirely and hope Diablo III is awesome when it finally gets released. I need something to do in the evenings... all I've been doing lately is watching the X-Files or other random TV shows or playing NBA 2K11 simply because a game takes so long to play that it passes the time quickly. It's pretty sad that I'm living just to pass the time to go to bed again and wake up, go to work and do it all over again.

Well it passes the time until the weekend, which is pretty much the only part of the week that I like for the most part. But even then, I spend a good two Saturdays out of the month having to come into work... just like I have to do tonight.

I think a lot of people seem to (whether consciously or unconsciously) live their life from one thing to another. Find some flavor. Start working out again, take a non0credit photography class or something at the college, Find a DIY book at the book store and teach yourself how to do something new.

If you don't keep life interesting, you're gonna lose your mind. And it won't happen on its own. You have to make it happen.

Going to lose my mind? :24: ;)

But I know, I need to get going with things again. Now that I'm back on stable meds and dosage, I think it'll be a bit easier to get motivated... it's pretty sad that I needed to be stabilized in order to be productive. Then I'll be back in school next semester, and that'll keep me busy.

I make myself be productive to keep myself stable.

It's a daily struggle, getting out of bed, going to school, being mommy, exercising, eating right, keeping my mother sane. But, if I didn't, I'd be no good and I'd just feel worse and worse and worse. This way, at least, I'm pretending things are okay, even if they aren't.

That was my problem, I stopped making myself productive. Hmm, I think I should probably do some dishes tonight. Actually though, I think I just gave up hope about a lot of things, and they all happened around the same time... so then I just stopped bothering to try and do anything about... well, anything.

Bah, I don't want to go back to work tonight. I could be like... on my way to, or in, London right now.

I found my filled out passport application sitting in my desk a little while ago... the application that I filled out about 3 months ago and am pissed at myself biting the bullet and submitting it.
