Light My Fire

Just so you know, comments have been answered in the comments section where questions were asked.

Here is a URL to see what tenor drumming is like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X83KG7chhM&feature=related This girl a is a top scorer ... and I must point out that I have a different style. For one thing, I've worked my music out for myself. (I guess you could say that I wrote it.) And I've only been playing for about two weeks. Or rather, it's been about two weeks since my instrument was finally EXPLAINED to me. One of the main things everybody agrees on though is this ... There are two kinds of players for the tenor. Those that never flourish, and those that never actually touch the drum. I hope to create a third category that places me somewhere in the middle. I wish to play as much as I flourish. By the by, "flourish" means "spin the sticks" ... A tenor drummer is considered the "cheerleader" of the group ... without the short skirt. (Sorry, guys.)

So, I have adopted a microwave, a slow cooker, and a vacuum. I have also borrowed a sofa until I can find one for myself. I pray that my roomie doesn't drink coffee. then again, I don't drink it, so he's on his own in that department anyway. LOL! I noticed that the sofa is stained (as well as dirty and ripped) so it may not improve the smell of the place, but at least I can wash the cushion covers and I'll have a place to sit and read, or chat with a friend. It's temporary, and rent-free, so I'm not going to be fussy about the condition.

Roomie shows up this Friday, so I have to get all my cleaning done tomorrow. As well as get money out of the bank for this month's rent (which I haven't given yet.) *sigh* Stupid money problems. I hope that my income taxes come back fast. :( I wanna go to Jasper!

I also have to bust my butt and get my flourishes practised. I may be competing at the Highlander Games after all. I'll have to be ready, just in case. Not sure if I should be nervous or not. I managed to impress a half-blind legion member (Ret. Navy) at the parade ... I doubt I'll be so lucky with the judges.

I have a PartyLite party this Saturday as well! Cross your fingers for me, as this may earn me some groceries! Whoop!! Going to be a good turnout, I'm sure, because I'll be sharing the party with a company that sells adult toys, etc. Bring on the PASTA! LOL! Also, the lady who helped me to open my account may be making an online order as well. That would be sweet ... Really. Especially if she spreads the word!

and on that note, I'm off to bed. I spend a lot of time in the sun at work, now that it's stopped raining every day, and I'm TIRED! I re-organised racks, built a pond, faced the store, and watered EVERYTHING. and all the while, the customers "kept coming, and going, and going and coming ... and always too soon." I'm pooped.

Sweet Dreams!
