Haha yep, that's me. :) And I remember you as well--at least, I recognize your username. :laugh3: I'm flattered.

Once I GTFO of this house.

This is a bit late, but... The climbing gym had a special where you get a day pass for $5 if you climb in a costume, so I got to borrow this guy's deadmau5 mask, haha.

Sup.

Oh mah gah. Nostalgia. I used to draw The Cheat everywhere, haha.

Raised a Protestant Christian, now an atheist. It's just easier that way, imo. Never really liked attending church. But I still get defensive when people talk shit about Christianity, haha.

Ah, I can totally relate. I've changed my major erm... 3 times now? Though I think I'm pretty satisfied with my current one, but at the same time I'm always open for change... I think the key is to really discover what makes you happy, so your career can just be an extension of it. "Sitting on my ass doing nothing forever" doesn't count, haha. "I think that what's more important is that you should look at your work as an extension of the most natural part of you. [...] I guess it’s trying to eliminate an affectation, or an assumption, or a program, and trying to be who you are. Which is very hard to do, it takes many years actually. I tell [students] to look for the smallest, most insignificant part of themselves that gives them pleasure, and that will give them the clues into what means something." - Maira Kalman For me, I've found out that I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie so I'm pursuing a bachelor's in health science so I can become an emergency department physician's assistant, and I've just signed up for the local volunteer ski patrol team. I took a while for me to come to that decision though. I was doing really shitty in school and I was also a bit depressed last semester and I basically said "fuck everything" and took a little bit a break and started seeing a psychologist so I could collect myself and find out what I really enjoy.

Haha yeah. I posted it there now.

Check it outttt. I covered We Are The Universe with Ableton Live 8.

But I'm posting it anyway. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We5l7OQeDcM]YouTube - Muse - We Are The Universe (cover)[/ame] Muse - We Are The Universe

Did anyone catch Matt's Tweetfest? Hahaha.

Aw damn I missed it. I fell asleep at 9PM. -_- I don't get the greatest reception to KROQ anyway. Thanks for the vid!

Lol.

I'm SO in love with Muse right now. Agh. The gig in LA sunday night was EPIC. 10 riffs after stockholm syndrome!

Saw Muse on Sunday! HOLY FUCKING SHIT I LOVE YOU MATT! Matt played 10 RIFFS IN A ROW right after Stockholm Syndrome. Here's some pics I took. Not the best, but whatevs. IMG_5846.jpg by alyssa.r.m, on Flickr IMG_5785.jpg by alyssa.r.m, on Flickr IMG_5831.jpg by alyssa.r.m, on Flickr IMG_5864.jpg by alyssa.r.m, on Flickr

EDIT: DAMN I DIDN'T KNOW THIS THREAD IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN CAPS. FAIL.

Thanks you guys! Yeah I played all the instruments, including that little random improv. :) I was too lazy to record the piano part so I just that in there instead. Edit: Oh yeah my singing voice isn't that great, haha. Maybe I'll get someone else to record vocals over it.

The very first thing I remember wanting to be was a firefighter. Then I wanted to be an artist, then a photojournalist, and finally, a doctor. I'm currently going the doctor route and getting my emergency medical tech certificate so I can have exposure to medicine, but firefighting seems appealing again. :D I might just be a paramedic firefighter...

Exhausting. Didn't sleep well, had to leave my house before 6AM, forgot breakfast, forgot my wallet, had to buy fuel with the emergency $10 I have in my car--ended up not having enough money for lunch, got nauseated then tried to vomit in the restrooms and almost passed out. I felt a lot better once I did finally vomit though. THEN, I had to go to work at 6PM immediately after school (I have class from 6:30AM to 5:30PM) to my work that's 30 miles away. I was 10 minutes late and it ended up being one of the busiest days at work in a looong time. Basically, I REALLY WANNA PASS OUT RIGHT NOW.

Some pics from a Muse gig on Saturday night. :D This was what I managed to snap from seats far behind the stage.
