Yup-it's been forever and a day since I've updated. I wonder how often I say that. I guess it's when my life is busy I don't really update, and then save a bunch of stuff for one huge update that doesn't even contain half the stuff that's been happening. First things first....Carrie's wedding is coming up-did I mention I'm a bridesmaid? First time! :) We're having the bachelorette party in AC-it'll be awesome-I can't wait for it to happen...and then the wedding. I even have a date-how exciting. :)

The job hunt for a different job is slow and excruciating-and nothing is happening on that front. *sigh*

Springtime is finally here! This makes me really happy. Tonight after work I went out roller blading. I used to be able to do between 8-10 laps around the park-obviously with a break in between. Today I did 4. I didn't want to push myself too hard. With a break I may have been able to do more. Who knows. I just want to get back in shape. I hate sitting around all the time, feeling un-energetic-and then getting exhausted after short periods of time. I was playing tether ball with Eric on Saturday and I was getting sleepy-and now my arms hurt-which means I need to work out-badly. First my legs are going to get in shape-then perhaps my arms? Who knows. But in celebration of spring time, here's a spring time haiku I posted as a comment in neutralface's journal:

Spring time fills the earth
With beautiful sweet colors
From fragrant flowers

I'm going to see Mindless Self Indulgence on May 11th-I'm quite excited. I hear these guys are INSANE in concert-so it should be a treat!

I think what I'm most excited about is the Fairie Festival. You have no idea how stupidly excited I am about this. There are several reasons for this-on top of being an awesome festival that I've sadly only been to once, there's a lot of emotional significance surrounding the festival. It's a shame I stayed away all those years...but I guess I had my reasons. Anywho-it means that I sort of get to camp out for a few days-it's been ages since I did that. I think the last time I did that was actually the last fairie fest! I'll need to post pictures of my outfit once I go. Thank you Laura for helping me pick out the outfit-you rock! :)

I'll try to update more later. But for now, check out what I'm listening to! I know a few of you guys are fans of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. Well-I'm guessing you may have heard of a band called Demons and Wizards. Someone burned for me their cd called Touched By The Crimson King. I'm currently listening to the song...called The Gunslinger. I'll leave the lyrics for you fans of the series. :) I heard that there's an actual soundtrack coming out that goes along with the series. Anyone heard anything about it? Also, anyone heard about the trade paperbacks that are coming out? I want to get my hands on some of those!

The Gunslinger - Demons and Wizards

Songs to sing .
Song of Turtle
And the Cry of the Bear
Awake
I can sense it
Still I'm afraid
Tower Road lies ahead
Commala-come-ka
Ka has come to me
Grey old fellow
If you finally failed the test
What would it mean?
We're getting near
We're getting near
Maid of sorrow
Your time goes by

Fade away
Fade

"Say thank, ya" for the beams are safe my friend
Long days and pleasant nights for you

Save me
The final chord
Don't let it end like this
No, not like this
Tell me
When things were finally getting out of hand
It's out of hand

Entangled, I am captured
You have put a spell on me
The last in line
The Gunslinger's line
The sacrifice of innocence
This work needs to be done
Now blow the horn
Hail to the gun!

Done is done
Yes, there will be no taking back
Every journey must come to an end
All hail to the Gunslinger
Praise to the Dinh and the King
Beyond our reach, out of control

Save me
To touch the rose it will not bring release
No taking back
Come save me
There are other worlds
But surely none like this
The world has changed

Done is done
Yes, there will be no taking back
The word is the law
Law is Ka

The end of the road lies
Straight ahead it lies
I'm feeling pure
The end of the road lies .

The sacrifice of innocence
The hailing of the gun
My way was death and madness
Now let the tower come

Done is done
Yes, there will be no taking back
And every journey must come to an end
All hail to the Gunslinger
Praise to the Dinh and the King
Beyond our reach, out of control .

Until next time...
