I can barely type- I'm shaking that badly.
So there's this little band called Treaty of Paris. They're awesome- if you've not heard of them, go check 'em out.
Back this summer I took a pair of Rachel's plain white Vans and decorated them with my artwork of this band (among others) with LOTS of Sharpies and LOTS of effort...
Well, she wore them to the TOP show tonight at the Metro in Chicago- and one of the members, Mikey, noticed them when she showed them to him. I get a call from Rachel and Claire- while still at the show- saying that he wants to commission me to do some shoes for him.
I WAS SPEECHLESS.
The first words from my mouth were "Oh my God- are you kidding me?" I said the phrase "OH MY GOD" so frequently in the consequent time on the phone that I made it the title of my journal.
Claire, being the sarcastic little smart alack she is replied "Yeah, we bribed him".
I groaned internally, but externally I flailed and paced the length of my dorm, hyperventilating.
"You want to talk to him?"
"Uuhhh...?! Sure....?"
"Hey Mel- it's Mikey"
O_O *spazzing out, shaking like a leaf*
"H-h-hey..."
"Will you do shoes for me?"
"H-Hell yeah I will!!" XD
"Heh- cool. We'll set this up later."
"Cool beans...*nervous chuckle*" --(GOD I'M A LAMEASS)
"Do you believe your friends when they say you have talent...?"
"Uhhh..*more nervous chuckling*...yeah..." sweatdrop
"Cool- we'll do this later, okay? Bye..."
"Bye..."*phone changes hands* >>SQUEAL!!!<<
I &********; love these kids.
So Mikey from Treaty of Paris is going to commission shoes from me---PAID, I might add. smile
I'm still in total disbelief, but I can't say I'm not excited. Well, I could say that, but the quaking hands and giddy smile would give it all away.
Maybe I've got some skill after all.

I feel that my titles are becoming less and less witty...and less amusing to anyone who still reads this...my apologies.
I've started classes- today was my second day. I can't say I'm entirely settled in yet, but the semi-regularity is both comforting and irritating. It's hard to explain.
I'm taking 17 credit hours of classes. The average, by the way, is 13-16. Yeah- I'm just that awesome. *rolls eyes*
Three classes on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, two on Tuesdays (which is a lot of fun to say!), and four on Wednesdays. I'm trying to work after my classes and on weekends...really any time I can get in.
Get this- I tested into a Engineer-level Calculus class. Go figure.
Joined band yesterday- it's really casual, very low-stress: I can't wait for auditions on Saturday!
If anyone ever reads this, please, you'd do me a great favor to let me know...I'm thinking of closing my myspace- it's kind of pointless for me to do these updates if no one ever reads them, you know?
Sincerely,
Mel

I'm not ALL here...
My life is lacking structure...more than I ever thought possible. And I kind of miss it. In fact, I miss a lot of things...a lot of people...
Classes start tomorrow- we can't wait.

This one's a bit happier than previous entries...well...for me at least.
I'm leaving for college tomorrow morning...sleeping will not be easy, for the excitement is uncontrollable!!!
My new address and e-mail will be forthcoming- I'm keeping my old cell number, though.
Take care- I'll miss you all.
I likely won't have internet access for the next few days or so, so please be patient. Just know that I haven't died, I'm just getting settled.
Lots of love,
Mel

emoemoemoemoemoemo. prepare thine selves, for that's what this rant's gonna be like. and no, i don't feel like using the shift button today- though i will be nice enough to punctuate and spell correctly.
--takes a deep breath--
i can't express in words how unbelievably horrid i feel emotionally right now, but, being the masochist that i am, god damnit i'm going to try. how and where shall i start?
one thing at a time:
cancellation of second consecutive summer concert- no panic!at the disco in milwuakee-three-days-away-from-my-parents/emotional-vacuums-for me. it's like i told vicky- it's kinda like either god hates me, or hates the bands i like and punishes them by not letting me spend money on them...or something. and no, i don't care if it sounds ridiculous- i'm feeling ridiculously bad, so it all follows suit.
something that's been bothering me for a long time but has sort of climaxed now: i'm in love with my best friend, but it's an unrequited love, and that's been eating away at me and eroding me from the inside. i've tried to stay away and not think about her, but i've had no success. it's pathetic how she has total control over my life, but i've come to realize that there's no point in worrying, yet i can't help myself.
i have very little to offer the world. for the last week or so i was in atlanta visiting my various grand-relatives. among the normal slew of questions fired my way were the usual- "so what're you going to do with your life?" kids, the truth is- i have no ******** clue what i'm going to do. all i know is that i like art and music- i suck at both and am extremely unmotivated to get better at anything. i like to sing and i've been told that i'm an okay singer, but what the hell am i going to do with that?!? yeah, i really ******** want to be a rock star, but i've got a few problems that are stopping me. no one's willing/ready to do it with me, i've got no skills valuable to a rock band other than my ability to design cd's and shirts and stuff, no rock band ever has had a lead clarinetist/singer, and i've no motivation because of all these problems. damned imagination of mine is always causing me huge problems with its constant grandiose dream-making. why the hell do i feel so worthless?!?!?!
my parents treat me like i'm ******** 12- my mother is a psycho in the worst way; i need to get the ******** out but i can't yet. enough said.
i'm feeling exorbitantly lonely. even when out with my two of my best friends, i feel like i'm worlds away, almost like looking at them through glass, like i would at a zoo. that, and i've not held any sort of romantic relationship since approximately March- and that one was only for a week... --sighs-- i'm a needy person i guess. i need physical affection to assure myself of the emotions behind it. i like hugs..........
it's official- i'm crazy. no, not in the "omg- that show last night was crazy" or even in the "she's a crazy b***h". had a dream that i was getting married (shocker in itself as i maintain the belief that no human would ever want to spend that much time or be that close to me ever) and my biological mother walks up to me, tears smearing her makeup, dressed in all black (even though i'm in white) and tells me that my grandmother has died of a heart attack. strangely, i felt myself fighting back the urge to cheer. i genuinely wish death upon that vile woman. it's a scary thought that i'm able to be that malicious. also- i giggle for no reason and spend approximately 98 percent of my time on the internet being pathetic and lecherous. ergh.
all in all- life, while obscenely simple and boring from lack of activity- which in itself, should be a good thing and not something to complain about- is amazingly awful. i need some reassureance that i do have a purpose for existing. sometimes i just don't get the point of it all.
i warned you mother ******** that this b***h was gonna be emo. i can't remember the last time i've been this sad, confused, mad, and frustrated all at the same time, and yes, i've been all of those at once before.
i'm not sure why i bother to update this anymore, but i suppose this is just a sad attempt at an emotional release that i've not been able to put into my artwork or into any sort of story.
--inhales deeply again--ffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
yes, i actually said it while i held down that key. bite me if you don't like it, though i'm not sure why you'd care either way. who the hell am i talking to?!?!?!?!?
--runs away screaming--
