Aaaargh. Ok.
Haven't updated in a while, been soooo busy.
Arcadia are starting to record our first studio album on friday, over the space of 5 weeks. Hopefully in 2 months we'll have a fully sellable and playable album. I can't wait!
Jammed with Jen and her friend today in an empty chapel (!?!) with acoustic guitars, a mandolin and a baby grand piano. That was lots of fun. Then one final rehearsal with the band before the first recording session on friday.
Our gig at the QM went down very very well, lots of shouts and cheers from people we didn't know, and more proof that progressive rock has a big fanbase in our area, and that we'll be well accepted. All the more reason for me to want to get our album out there sharpish!
Toying with getting a piercing, and I want to get a new tattoo done soon. Going back to St Andrews soon, so I might get one done then, if I can settle on something I like. Stayed clean and alcohol-free for a good while now, and liking where I am in that respect. Slowing down the ol' drinking is a good challenge. Not that it's difficult, I just lost touch with just how much fun I can actually have when other people drink and I don't. But this weekend I'm not working for Jager, so I'll be able to go out with friends. Basically, the crisis is over from last week. Phew.
Got a lot more self-confidence from the QM gig, I no longer feel stupid strutting around in my Prog frontman clothes, because now people realise that I can back up what I wear. It's great! I hate blowing my own trumpet, but I'm finally accepting the fact that I can sing, that being a frontman is what I want to do, and that I dont' have to be shy about it. Coming out of my shell, and all that. Don't worry about me becoming Axl Rose quite yet though!
Life seems to be going well, as long as I don't concentrate on romance. And even then it's not going badly, it just isn't going. Which is better than going badly. If that makes sense..
