[Listening to Scene 23, "The Greatest"]
This isn't a big deal to people, but it's a big deal to me:

Today I took the step and ended my years of guitar lessons. It was strange to hear the words coming out from the root of my mouth. I decided that all things must come to a natural end and it's only for the better. Driving to the soundtrack of "Josie and the Pussycats" to my lesson, I felt that today was going to be the last lesson. Still, I did not come out and say it when I got into the door. I didn't know if I should or should not. When I was learning how to "ad-lib" bends, I was having so much fun fooling around. That's when I knew things should come to a natural end - on a high point.

Saying goodbye wasn't planned or anything.. I didn't even understand the things I was telling my guitar teacher. Parting is always sad. It's just that my guitar teacher is really nice, really patience, and taught me how to jam to the likes of Amanda Latona and Kaci. I'm not hard student to put up with imo. Anyways, it's also that going to lessons was always a good escape from my parents and school on Saturday. I had something to do and planned. It was something to look forward to. Who wants to be a rock star?

One door closed, but another window is opening to something new and great in my life.

I was looking at some aviator glasses today because of Latona's song and I didn't buy them. Very shocking since they were $9.99 and pretty fugly. I plan to wear them one day and comb my hair straight back wearing my faded out jeans with the pockets and the knees open.. then head to the Starbucks on the Sunset Strip when I will drink cappucinos..

Word of advice (on Kit's behalf as well): Never go renting a movie together. It will be impossible. I was all for artsy flicks or campy "action" dramas, but Kit was going for 2-day rentals of semi-blockbusters. What's a boy to do? Well, I was paying for it, so we ended up with "Eat Drink Man Woman" and "Beautiful Thing" instead of "25th Hour," "The Time Machine," and "The Seventh Sense" (a movie I was really pushing for). Usually, when I go rent movies.. it takes 5 minutes. Today, it took about an hour!

Helen just called. She's on her way over! Woo-hoo!

Time for a more meaninful post. Yesterday while I was on the tram, heading its way back from the happiest place on earth, it hit me. The thing I most wanted (independence) was finally going to happen in a couple months. With the cool air and shady forecast, I didn't know what to feel. It was very confusing, exciting, scary, and liberating at the same time. I felt down.

Anyways, my shoulder still hurts despite some Vicks stuff and "Sa-Lo-Bas." I felt really lost today but I had the appetite to want to purchase some aviator sunglasses. I was listening to Shania's "Up!" cd while in a sad mood.. and it didn't help. I am not the type of person who wants to listen to upbeat STEPS or Shania when I'm down. That's why I always have Lene Marlin.

My shoulder really hurts right now. And I accidentally deleted some blog posts. Well, I'm tired. Good night.

Here are some dreamy cheesecakes on a stick.

Listening to my t.A.T.u. album (which I have not put in my CD player for quite some time), I stumbled upon Fanlistings.org's main page and I spent hours looking at fanlistings for stuff I'm a fan of. There are so many movies, books, artists, food, etc.. that I'm a fan of so I only took ones I felt strongly about or looked nice. I have no life but to proclaim I am a fan of Nutella! :0)

Okay, so there wasn't a "2 Fast" day today. Not that I cared much, but I don't like broken promises. "Crepe In The Grip" looks gross. Some Asian places might try to act and look "hip" but they won't achieve it with some ABC help. Thinking about what "Crepe In The Grip" serves makes me feel livid. Eugh.
