yay, I just gotta wait until saturday and I'll go to the camp! Not that kind with a tent in a forest, though. But those camps are very fun - there are lots of crazy people like me, and this is only 2 times a year for one week. The easter camp and the summer camp. Maybe I'll tell you what happened then.
TATA TATA TATA - hilfe ein löwe. hilfe ein löwe. WYU!
just weird memories of the last easter camp.

Well this is something worth yay'ing about for me... Today I got my first job. I'm working at a place called AIM Mail Center in a shopping center across the street from my house. It's basically a post office of sorts, but we also sell cards and envelopes, and all kinds of other what not. The best part is that I didn't even need to be interviewed. The owner of the store called me in today, and I came in expecting an interview. Instead, he handed me a name tag and apron and said, "Ready to get started?" It was a little surprising, but I wasn't going to complain. I'm working about five hours each day, from 1 to 6 in the afternoon (for those of you in Europe, that's 13:00 - 18:00). I make $8.00 an hour, which is pretty good for a part-time job over here, usually they pay minimum wage, which is $7.45 I believe. Anyway, this is sort of a milestone, and since my income isn't being taxed (yet), I'll be able to accrue enough to spend on some extra luxuries (hello, Guitar Center!  ). |

Look at that hand lying there
The room is dark, she shows no fear
I'm lying still, my eyes are wide
My heart is pumping, I'm still alive
I'm still awake against my will
What will it ever take
To still this burning in me?

Nice! Congratulations, man. My first job was at a nursing home. When they tell you, 'Don't get attached to the patients.' they mean it...  Now stick it to the man!  |

Well I have something to yay about. I passed all my exams!! (exams are the main reason why i haven't posted in a while) Scotlands grading system is weird, 1's and 2's = credit (best grades) 3's and 4's = general (average grades) 5's and 6's = foundation (poor grades) 7 = FAIL 8 = Didn't turn up for the exam 9 = Withdrawn from course. Anyway my results: Computing - 1 - English - 2 - French - 2 - Geography - 1 - Graphics - 2 - Maths - 1 - Music - 1 - Physics - 2 - Im very happy I was expecting a 3 not a 1 for Maths  As a reward im getting a new drum kit or a new laptop... |

Big rant turned into a big yay.  As I mentioned in the Big Rant Thread, I'd been meaning to have my guitar restrung for awhile, and also fitted with a black pickguard (in an effort to emulate David Gilmour's legendary "Black Strat"). Yesterday I left my guitar with a man who owns a home business dedicated to modifying and repairing guitars. It cost me $50 to have it restrung, the fret board cleaned and oiled, the body and frets polished, and the pickguard replaced. Here are the results... There she is, Syren, aka the Black Strat. Both my electrics, Syren (Fender Strat, left), and No Name (Squier Strat, right) And... two guitar pose shots. As I'm sure you've come to expect from me. My eyes look black in this photo, I had to fix the red eye effect. I love the feel of new strings. |
