New week and life doesn't look horribly bleak. Am I behind on my projects? Yes. Have I emailed that TA I need to email about the fact that life has been going Badly? No. But my CD finally came in the mail and I cried when I realized what the area behind the CD said? Yes, yes I did, and it was wonderful.
Weekly migranes are also seeming to be a new development. Its still killing me as I write this but I'm so fucking bored from not looking at screens while my head hurts that I've just started caving and looking at stuff anyways. How else am I supposed to pass the time on my shift?
In other news I've got some new mainline quests! Or sub quests for a mainline quest? I don't know. I've lost my own metaphor. Anyways. My cousin has her Debut coming up at the end of March. For the unfamiliar, a Debut is kind of like the Filipino quinceanera but for the 18th birthday. Exciting!!
I didn't have one because I didn't want the stress of planning one, and it doesn't look like my other first cousin will be having one, so this is gonna be pretty big for us. Since I'm pretty close to this cousin, I do quite care about this event going well. And since I'm a first cousin, it means that by family law I have to participate in the entertainment of the night. Which means I will be performing for the first time on bass in a little over a month. With songs I still need to learn. Oh Stars.
Sub Quest 1: Learn Songs to Perform!
The songs in question are Best Part by Daniel Caesar and Beaches by Beabadoobee. Not horribly difficult on bass for where I'm currently at, but they're not songs I'm familiar with. They were chosen by my younger cousin who I'll also be performing with (shes playing guitar and singing). It's not technically our first rodeo performing at a family function in any way, but it'll be my first time with a bass and I'm really trying to not let it get to me. Right now I'm fine about it, but give it a couple weeks.
Sub Quest 2: Dress to Impress!
The color theme of this Debut is shades of blue. I do not own blue, and especially not anything formal in blue. My closet palette is that of an ominous evil swamp. Is it a crime if I show up not on theme? No. However, I'm a first cousin, and I know I'm gonna be in a hell of a lot of photos whether I like it or not, and regardless it's just fun to dress on theme. Which means I gotta go shopping. I am broke. Which means I gotta go thrifting. Which means I should really be hitting the thrift a couple of times over the next month and a bit if I want a chances at finding anything good enough for this. I've got plans to go thrifting with a friend next week, and a recommendation for a secondhand dress shop in downtown, so fingers crossed I find anything that fits.
Do I have to go thrifting to do this? No. But am I gonna pass up an opportunity to have an excuse to go thrifting? Never.
I realize that I don't sign off of my posts. I've noticed a lot of other people doing that. Honestly, I don't think I will. Feels too final, too curated. This is me dumping my brain on a page for your entertainment. This blog is something I hope a historian or some kid finds decades from now that gives a snapshot of what a life was like. I don't feel like signing off on photographs.
But now that I've brought this point up it feels weird to not sign off in some way. Oh well.
