Well right now I will take them off and run around in circles. I am soooo happy right now. I went to sleep on my couch and when I woke up, the oddest thing happened. I look up, and there is a $500 Ibanez bass guitar just sitting there. I spent the first two minutes thinking I was dreaming, but oh no, I was wrong. I have a bass guitar finally. I can finally go rock out and what not.
Well, it is used, as to be expected. It has a few scratches, needs two new knobs, and the thing that hold up the strap fell off. All fixable stuff. I am gonna go amp shopping this weekend and in no time I will be plugged in and writing music. Woo hoo!

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

somewhere between struggling to get a job, worrying about university acceptance, and trying to wrap my head around paying for tuition, car license fees, an actual car, and insurance, I'm realizing I'm not a kid anymore, and it sucks 

Just because I am sexy, naked, a bassist, and sporting a top hat doesn't make me Duncan Coutts!

Yes, I hated making that realization, but it has to be made.
God my fingers hurt, but I just can't stay away from my bass guitar....I love it oh so much....

today I got in a rather nice fight with my mother, when she gave me and my sister an ultimatum to get a job asap or some sort of unspeakable punishment would be visited upon us because, y'know, we'd deserve it for not getting jobs. Nevermind that I can't handle a job right now with my semester from hell, but when my sister and I very nicely asked her to not be so harsh with her "motivation", she went fucking nuts, calling us spoiled and mean and inconsiderate, and would not listen to a single word we said.
us: it is our responsibility to get a job, though we appreciate your support.
her: you don't respect me!!!
us:
her: and you don't appreciate all I do for you!!
us: we just said that we do.
her: then why don't you have a job yet hmm??
us:
I know that in most arguments, both parties can get nasty but think they were being reasonable where the other part was not, but my sister and I were being extremely fucking calm, quiet, and nice about things, where she was making ridiculous inferences and twisting every word we said, and pretty well just made shit up, while insulting us every few sentences and claiming that she wasn't. You should have been there when I told her that I was insulted by her words, I was sure she was going to slap me. Because, y'know, I fucking deserve this ridiculous shit. I'm beginning to think people react to me according to some imaginary notion or stereotype they have of me. My mom seems to think I'm a snot who uses her, despite the fact that I'm so meek from these repeated barrages of insanity I almost never ask her for anything, and constantly tell her I think she does too much for us and I appreciate it to an enormous degree. If I don't get A+'s in every class, do nearly every chore around the house, and get a job that cannot possible fit into my schedule, I don't think I'll ever be thought of differently
But, of course, she just wants me to develop these "important life skills" I hear so much about, because I'm helpless and stupid now, and destroying my self-esteem and making me feel bad about enjoying myself is the way to do this. Oy!

Parents suck man, but you did the right thing by being calm. She will definitely mull over this and realize how much of an ass she was, and probably will give you some half-assed apology. Don't worry about what she thinks, because it is not like this punishment can be that bad. She can't touch you or you can all the police, and she won't throw you out of the house, because if she did, she would deserve to die a horrible death. Everything will blow over and she will realize how much of an ass she has been.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
