I woke up yesterday to my Mother yelling at me to get out of bed and read the mail she had just found. I stayed in my bed and opened the mail, which informed me that I had received a $64,000 academic scholarship over 4 years to Hofstra. I shot out of bed like my little sister did on Christmas morning, I was so happy and relieved. My chances of being able to afford that school are now HUGELY improved.
As if that wasn't enough, I also finally was able to put in the order for the rest of my recording equipment! It's like everything in my life that has been missing finally came together in one day. We had to spend $286 from the band fund and $605 came out of my pocket. I couldn't think of a more valuable thing to spend that kind of money on, maybe that makes me weird.
I went to Trotta's house and took him to Burger King with me because I was starving. We discussed the fact that we weren't going to tell anyone how many songs are on Mumbles and Whispers and that we wouldn't reveal the album art until we make a flyer for the release show. We got back in the car and listened to a lot of the Best of the Worst cuz we love them. After hanging around for awhile we went to get dinner at some Japanese place in Eltingville and Trotta told me to order the chicken teriyaki bento box. It was $17 !!!! He justified that by saying that it was in celebration of my scholarship. Note the fact that he in no way paid for me. I wasn't even hungry, I was still full from the BK Double Stack from before.
We went to the Richmond Knights show. I was in a weird state because I was so totally un-used to going to a local show and not being on the bill. It was a fun show, though. During their cover of Rocketrocketrocketship by the Arrogant Sons of Bitches, I went up and played Cole's saxaphone (I do not know how to play saxaphone).
The rest of the night was fun but I don't feel like detailing it.

I might just make a spoof of this blog, to congratulate you though. Except I'm going to call it "Load on my Back"
ReplyDeleteSo, because you don't want to detail the rest of the night, I will take the honors.

We left the RK show and I drove Trotta and myself to a house party in Todt Hill. We met up with Joe Barone, Stora, Veronica and Ashley. When we got there, there wasn't too many people there, but it was a good crowd. About 45 minutes pass and we sit in a room with the stereo blasting and people rolling blunts and going into the bathrom and staring at the 6 of us (Veronica, Ashley, Stora, Joe Barone, Trotta and me). We were a little displace, but some guys there knew Trotta from school and others knew Joe Barone because he's Joe Barone. At about 9:00, Trotta goes outside to get Alyssa, but it wound up that too many people had arrived at that point. So, we all had to leave because it was an invite only party and we weren't invited. The cops were called and we went to White Castle where Stora stole my parking spot and almost hit my car. We walked in and basically everyone who was at the RK show was there. Ashley took off Chris Peters' hat and wore it. A girl came up to her and took it off Ashely's head and put it back on Chris'. Ashley got angry because she was "drunk", so Stora, Ashley and Veronica left.
I don't know what happened after that.
