Sometimes...I write new posts just to move the old posts further down my wall because I'm sick of them. That's the case now- that last post was depressing. Also- I should be cleaning and doing laundry and drying out my tent...but I'm lazy.
So what have I been up to? Well, yesterday I went to Calvin's house and finished both of the Beck covers I had left for the record club. I'm really happy with the way they turned out. I had so much fun doing them, I'm grateful that Calvin could help me out though, because I really don't know how to do all the cool things he does, I just bring a general idea.
Here's "Missing:" http://soundcloud.com/armorierecordclub/missing I used a whole tone scale, so it sounds kind of like a dream sequence, at least that was the idea.
Here's "Chain Reaction." http://soundcloud.com/armorierecordclub/chain-reaction Calvin calls this "white girl hip hop." I call it kinda funny. So if you ever wanted to hear me rap, here it is. And there's some mad kazoo skills going on as well. And Calvin tried unsuccessfully to tackle me at the end.
This past weekend was a busy one for me, I went to Cedar City with Hanna, Sara, and Becky for Matti Cox's wedding. That was really nice, we got to wait outside the temple in the gorgeous sunny weather and then go hiking for an hour (in our dresses, haha), go to the luncheon, get pedicures just for fun and then go to the reception. Best of luck to the Wilcocks!
Saturday after the reception I drove to Red Cliffs and met up with some Danie, Greg, Sarah, John Terry, Jon Jones, Ryan, and two of John Terry's friends, Kaitlyn and Shenice. I was shocked at how dark it was when arrived- camping in the dark is totally foreign to me! On Sunday we went hiking around, then had "faux church" then did some serious hiking/scrambling and even a little bouldering (I was pretty proud of my hardcoreness at that point). We got plenty tired and sore and spent the rest of the day playing games and making and eating dinner and telling stories and just generally having a great time.
We had planned to make breakfast on Monday, pack up, maybe hike around a bit more, eat lunch and then head back to Logan, but when we woke up it was pouring, so we skipped ahead to the packing and leaving. That was pretty miserable, there was red mud and sand and everything was wet and just sucked. But what sucked worse was the drive to Cedar City where we decided to have breakfast- it was raining so hard I was scared of hydroplaning for the first half- then it started snowing and I was sliding all over the road. I hate driving during good weather, so I really hated this. Luckily Greg and Danie did too, so our cars decided to wait out the storm in Cedar City. We stayed at the Days Inn where we could take delightful hot showers and then put our dirty campfire-reeking clothes back on. It had a pool so we went swimming and talked and played games- not a bad way to spend a Monday.
Tuesday we came back to Logan- what a long drive. Good thing I had Sarah in my car to control the music and keep me company. For the last few hours we listened to a musical called "The Last Five Years." It was so good, look it up if you can. In fact, I just bought the music. I couldn't contain myself. And while it was so good, it made me feel...so strange. It was extremely moving. I can't get over it.
Enough of that. After I got home I showered and was on a date in a little over an hour. Unbelievable, I know. And it was a second date, with the same guy! A guy that I really like! (What if he read this, would that be weird? Oh well, I just decided I didn't care.) Anyway, we made dinner and I made the cake...at least I tried. It should be easy to make a cake from a cake mix, right? Unless you mix up the water and the oil, like I did. One and a fourth cup of oil is a heck of a lot more than a third cup. Colin laughed a lot at me and I felt really stupid. The end of that story.
My life is pretty funny. At least, it's funny if I look at it from the outside. It's not quite as funny to be inside, but I'm good at laughing at myself, so I'm entertained.
Starting tonight, I get to help out the nominating committee at the Utah State FFA Convention. I'm so excited about that...because I know what it means to become a state officer. Six people's lives will change for a year after this week, and I get to be a small part of that.
This is long. I'll update more later I guess.
