I have become obsessed with this song:
P.S.: The Band are aaaammmaazzzing (Levon Helm is the man, may he rest in peace) and I'm convinced that Emmylou Harris is an angel on Earth.

Oh yeah, today's my birthday. Whee, twenty-six years of living... I mean, WHEE it's my birthday! Yeah, had some cake and homemade chicken wings. And writing. It was a good day.

This post was brought to you by "Screw the Nether" and my new favorite meme.
I've been hard at work for the last few days to get the end of Part 1 of the novel. I can't believe it. Nothing really inspired me to go on, other than this need to do it. It also helps that I read Stephen King's On Writing (I read it while working on Blues when I began to hit some rough spots). I've waited over two months to try again and this time, I swear there will be no breaks like that again.
I would like to take this time to let y'all few that read my blog that I will be gone for two weeks. I'm going on a vacation overseas, to Scotland and England. After that, take the Chunnel to France and hang out there for a little while.
So obviously, I can't take my computer to update. I only will text updates to Twitter and that's about it. Sorry in advance to those expecting updates. Take this time to sift through the previous entries.
I will be back soon. Until then, take care and good night.
Obligatory "whoo hoos" from the back aside, this is a big moment. For those who are also graduating tonight, congratulations to all of you. This is big, y'all, savor in the moment.
I've been plagued with the "coulda-woulda-shouldas" for a while, but this has been an unforgettable five-year college career. I've learned so much and met some amazing people, even made some close friends. So yeah, even though there were some things I wished I did, but I'm happy.
-To those I'll never see again, maybe it'll not be "never". Otherwise, may life be good to you.
-To those I'll see again for sure, let's have a few drinks. Just not tonight, all the excitement (and the mortarboard) gave me a wicked headache.
-To my alma mater and all my teachers, thank you for this education.
-To my parents, thank you so much for your financial and emotional support. I'm eternally grateful.

On a lighter note, always remember to wear sunscreen. May your last day of finals be much like this one.
And let's wrap it up with a little word from Kenny Loggins:
Dire Straits finally has some songs in there (at least "Money For Nothing")
You can export songs from Rock Band 2
Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House" is included (some on the Rock Band forums speculated that it was left out of the song pack because of RB3's inevitable release)
Either way, something to look forward to. \o/

That reminds me. I may have to buy the new guitar. My other one's tremolo bar broke.
I'm a lot of things: the writer that got published, the music nerd that won't shut up, the reader that pwns your library with hers, the veteran gamer that can solve yer survival-horror puzzles, the student that finally got her freaking diploma, the intersectional feminist learning all there is to rights, and the blogger who names herself after a Dire Straits song and hides behind an avatar of Lola Bunny.
