I love these guys. It's a shame that they only have one album though. :( Every one of their songs is absolutely fantastic, in my opinion.
1. Hi!
2. School's going well; I have all As and the homework load is getting more manageable, even if I'm still doing 3-4 hours of it every night. Better than some whiners at school; people claim they're staying up until 2AM doing homework. My deduction? Either they're rotten liars or they have no sense of time management, AKA "procrastinating". I sure do hate liars, but even more so I hate exaggerators. It drives me absolutely nuts to hear how long someone worked on some piece of homework. "OMG IT WAS SO HARD FFF IT TOOK ME 8 HOURS." Yeah. Right.
4. I don't know where that mini-rant came from lol. I could go for miles on that subject, though. Sorry about that.
5. This Thursday is going to be the best day of my year - heck, it's going to be the best day of my life. My mom, the blessed saint she is, ordered she and I last-minute tickets to the Owl City concert at the House of Blues in Dallas. :)))))))))))))) You guys have absolutely NO IDEA how much this means to me; last week, all I could get out of her was a "No way" because ticket prices were through the roof. Yesterday, she texted me and asked "Want to go see Owl City?" and I replied, of course, "Yes!" Today, she said that if I cleaned my side of the computer area, she'd take me to see it (though she already had non-refundable tickets ordered, lol. My mom's the best. Plus, she's an Owl City fan!!! :) I turned her on to it a while ago when I made her listen to Rainbow Veins; she said it was a lot more wholesome than my sister's choice of music (hardcore rap, which is good in small doses), haha.
6. Owl City is the best. I bet by now most of you should have heard of him, seeing as how he's #1 on iTunes. Fireflies isn't his best song, though, in my opinion. My favorites are Rainbow Veins, Sky Diver, Hot Air Balloon, Captains and Cruise Ships, and Sunburn. :) The only thing I don't like is the attention he's getting. :/ Before June, when he got Single of the Week, only 2 of my friends knew who he was and liked his music. Now, I accidentally let my friend Lauren loose on his music, and she serenades Fireflies and Sunburn to everyone who walks by her. She and about 20 other people I know are absolutely crazy over him since he's gotten attention. I miss my little secret..
7. At least no one knows about his other bands! :) But I'll let you guys know, because you're fantastic people: Swimming With Dolphins, Port Blue, Seagull Orchestra (he's not in it, but is involved), Insect Airport, Dolphin Park, and Windsor Airlift. My favorite songs from each are Sunset, 1989 (SWD), At Anchor (PB), In Flight and Sailboats (SO), Strawberry (IA), Hello Enchanted Evening (DP), and Landscapes (WA).
8. I like spacescapes!! They're very fun. Hard to get started, but once you're a good half-hour in, then it gets ridiculously fun.
9. Homecoming ended up being great. I didn't spend much time with my date because he was in band during the football game, but we met up later at the dance. Instead of dancing, though, we sat and talked with a bunch of friends, which was much more fun than any dancing we could have done! :) This week is Red Ribbon Week - otherwise known as Drug Free Week! Themed days, ahoy!
10. Goodnight, everyone. Or Good day, if you're on the other half of the world. :)
