First blog

Yep. So I started blogging cause I felt like it. This probably isn't going to be particularly intelligent; it's just fun to write stuff down. Not gonna lie.

So my stomach just started hurting out of nowhere. I wonder if it was the chicken at Arby's. I hope it isn't. I don't feel like getting sick right now.

I feel like making a list because Ana (roommate) does a lot. What should I make a list of? Random memories that I miss, in no particular order:

1. The Transplants. I just watched the videos for "Diamonds and Guns" and "DJ DJ," and memories of my sophomore year of high school came flooding back--going to Warped Tour with Wyatt and Clarence, seeing the Transplants, driving to Dallas ... good times. I kinda wish I had that CD. I forgot what a good song "DJ DJ" is. Makes me happy.

2. The olden days of shows. Me and Aaron were talking one night about shows back in the olden days, and I kind of miss it. Entirely different people on the scene back then ... not saying it's bad now, I just kind of wish I could go back in time and visit for old times' sake or something. I had a good time at those shows. Apparently I also met Aaron more than once, and I only vaguely remember it. =P I've always had one of those "Hey, that guy's pretty cute ..." crushes on him, long before we were ever dating. I'll admit it.

3. "We're gonna make it on our own--we don't need anyone ..." Sorry, "DJ DJ" is stuck in my head. Such a good song.

4. SkaSkank. I had such interesting times in that band. Granted, I realize that zombie SkaSkank should never be resurrected, but once again, this is something I would like to go back in time just to visit for old times' sake. At least I can honestly say that this band changed my life. I doubt that I'd be the same person I am today without this period in my life.

5. The night I saw Catch 22. That was my first show outside of Abilene. It was pretty darn cool.

6. The most magical weekend of my life (April 20 - April 23, 2007). What happened: Friday, April 20th, I went on my first date with Aaron; Saturday, April 21st, I went to my senior prom with one of my buddies from high school (we just went as friends); Sunday, April 22nd, I saw the Nekromantix in Dallas and ran into Josh Fleming again for the first time in around two years; and Monday, April 23rd, Aaron asked me out. =) That truly was a magical weekend. Sandwiched on both ends by Aaron. That's what made it so magical. ;)

7. State UIL sophomore, junior, and senior years. I always had fun on those trips ... Mrs. Clark (my Social Studies UIL coach) took my picture with the swans at the hotel we stayed in. Yes, it was that ritzy, it had live swans in a fountain on the ground floor. =P

8. Cruising around listening to Mustard Plug every spring.

9. Days with the old youth group. Not to say that I don't like the youth group now, because I love 'em all; once again, this is one of those things that I'd go back in time to visit just for old times' sake. I miss all the faces that I haven't seen in a while. That youth group formed so much of who I am ... or rather, it allowed me to see that I don't really know who I am--but God does. And it worked out. It's all crazy.

I think that I've run out of things to write for now. =P Oh well, it's 4:42; it'll be time to go to church soon. That works. This is Emily signing out for now.
