So the week is coming to an end, with today being Thursday. I've been running what I like to call "consecutive nights", which basically means that I stay up till between 12 to 2am. I've been running those since Sunday through Tuesday, just trying to complete my homework. Again, Imagineering is starting, we don't have curriculum time to do our shit. Which means we have to stay back, and my entire schedule is pushed back. The set back to running consecutive nights is that I can't run them for long. Yesterday, I had CCA, and I usually reach home tired as heck. Add that to the fact that I'd been running consecutive nights, I fell asleep slightly after 10pm while doing my project with my friends. It's not the first time I've fell asleep (kind of) on my table, but my friends have never encountered someone who has before. Well, there's a first time for everything.
I've been spending a relatively unhealthy amount of time just listening to music and playing my guitar this week. I spent about an hour on Tuesday and about two hours today. Yepp. Just playing my guitar and now my fingers are raw as hell. It's all worth it though. I'm sort of trying to slowly increase the amount of damage my fingers can take, so I can play a little longer. My fingertips are kind of numb-ish to the crap is takes nowadays, but if I play for too long, they will hurt. Which is what they're doing right now. The one thing I'm really grateful to my school for (pardon the grammar if it's wrong) is including a guitar module last year. I'd never played the guitar in my entire life and I never planned to pick it up before either. That was until the module started. I could barely last through the first 30 minutes of class, and my fingers would start hurting like crap when I played. But it really sparked an interest. When I first got my guitar, I couldn't even remember how to play the one song I'd learnt. But hey, you gotta start somewhere, even if you've got a crappy start. Now, I can play about eight songs on the guitar, and I'm working on some at the moment. Still can't pluck though (it's okay, playing the guitar is really just for leisure).
I haven't got the chance to blog about this, but I'm currently into Josh Golden (GOLDEN). Previously, it was Eden Ang (I still look forward to all his Instagram posts and his WahBanana videos, though :P). They're both really talented and just motivated to do what they do. Loving what they do helps a lot, I guess. I'm just trying to memorise all of Golden's songs though. He's really young, born in 1994, just slightly older than me. If I'm not wrong, he started writing at the age of 12 and released his first album in 2009, which is 5 years back, and that would be when he was 15. Like what even? I was still trying to beat the Sinnoh Elite Four back when I was 12! Still not anywhere as successful as him, but it's okay. I don't want to be a musician anyway. My mum says that if I can't be what I wanna be, I should just be a musician. But music is currently just a little something for me to turn to when I'm tired. I don't want to have to face it everyday until it becomes a chore and I don't even remember why I liked it in the first place.
I would say I have a little crush on Golden, but like, which of his fans doesn't? I mean, come on, he's young, talented and easy on the eyes. He's really not that much older than me, and a girl can dream, no? (I'm sure you know where this is going ;)) Well, not much point though. We live on like, opposite ends of the world (Don't ask me, I'm not a Geography student. And my sense of the world is as bad as heck).
Well, I'm just gonna end the post here now, it's been a long post and a long day, and tomorrow will be even longer, with CCA starting slightly earlier and I have to run a 4x100m relay as well. Live well, Love much, Laugh often.
