so i decided that after like 4 weeks of being a cripple, im so bored of it. there are some fun sides to it but i miss little things like walking to college with my i-pod, walking home with friends through town and all the things you do when you're at college. having to rely on everyone for help totally takes away most of my independence, and i think i'm a very independent person.
i played at the Jailhouse the other night, it was an amazing night. it was my first ever solo-set, and i somehow enjoyed it far more than i'd imagined that i would. all my friends were there, some un-expected visitors too..which made it millions better. i wrote a lot of songs about the feelings i feel about certain people in my life, and when they're stood there in the audience.. it really is like taking a massive weight off my shoulders. they may not know what i'm singing is about them, but i feel happier to know that i've released them anyway. even though playing in front of strangers is amazing and a bigger challenge, playing at home infront of the people that inspire you is also so worth it.
i'd written a song a couple of days before which i really needed to get out, it was a song that i hadn't intended on writing at all. i picked up my guitar with the intention of practicing other songs, and literally came straight out in it's entirety without any thought or messing about. i didnt really understand where it'd come from, but as soon as it was finished i knew that there was no way i couldn't play it.
so anyway, that was all about me and boring for anyone reading.
the other bands playing were really cool too. i'd never heard this band Throats before, and their whole stage presence and sound was just completely powerful and commanding. loved it.
today i've been listening to lots of Sonic Youth. i bought their album 'Goo' years ago and barely listened to it. but i really like it now.
it's nice to chill on a friday night, but i'm worrying so much about the epic amounts of coursework i have to do. and due to band practice being cancelled, i havent got heaps to look forward to this weekend which blooows. but ah wells! i love college, and i love my subjects.. but i cba with loads of work. why can't they just give you qualifications for free? : (
'things have changed for me, and that's ok.. i feel ok.'
