I need a new ID... how long have I been saying this? I could use a new icon too, I've been using the same one since I joined... hahaha.

It's been almost four years since I've been a member of dA. A lot of things have changed since then. I have new friends, new worries, a new direction in my life... And I have tattoos now, instead of just drawing on myself.

I can safely say I'm happier now, in general. Well, perhaps that's not the best way to put it. It would be more accurate to say that nowadays I'm just thinking about different things. That which was once the biggest problem in my life is something I no longer need to worry about.

I don't write as often as I'd like these days. It seems lately I'm always terribly busy doing nothing. But also, I think I'm finally coming to realize that the secret repressed dreams I've had my whole life may actually not be too distant.

At this point in my life I'm spending less and less time with writing and more and more with my one true love, music. I wish that deviantArt had a sound gallery - wouldn't that be cool?

What else is new? My band is going to be touring this summer. Our album should be out by the end of the month. On Monday I'm finally going into the studio to record my part.

This semester is going by too fast. And also too slowly. Time is funny that way. Just for the record, I still don't believe that time actually exists. That hasn't changed. Guess what else hasn't changed? I still feel like this when I get stressed out:

PANIC PANIC PANIC PANIC PANIC PANIC

And that's still my favourite emoticon.

ANYWAY, I'm rambling. I don't journal very often anymore so I'm actually quite surprised that I'm even writing this...

Where music is concerned: I have inspiration lately, but no motivation. That's the kicker. I'm just so tired. I'm getting sick of school... I look forward to the summer. The good thing? I'm almost done with core classes, and those are the ones that wear me out. Music classes I'm all for.

By the way, I changed my major... I don't know if I ever actually posted a journal saying so on dA. Late last spring I switched from musical theater to contemporary music - best decision of my life, for the record.

SO, I'm done rambling. If you've actually read this, come find me in person and I'll give you a present. Hehehe.
