Insomnia

[xaara]

I really need to get out of this habit of posting here at one in the morning, but since most of my RL friends are in bed, I can't exactly talk to anyone. More specifically, I can't talk to anyone about the band we're starting, the band I proposed offhand and about which I am now inordinately excited. Of course, we don't really have a bass, but we do have an excellent guitar, and a wonderful female lead singer, and me on the drums, so with a little nudging we should be able to find someone else.

I know I already asked this of various people, but my band is looking for retro-ish songs from the 50s and 60s that aren't too difficult to perform with a very small group and that are written for or can be arranged for a female voice. If you have a suggestion, it would be most welcome. So far, we have as candidates a few Beatles songs, one or two Stones, a John Denver, and sundry 60s protest music.

Over the last few days I've been rather...I don't know how to describe it. I've wanted to touch people, to feel that they actually exist. It doesn't make sense to me, and sure as hell doesn't make sense to my friends, who know me as someone who's uncomfortable with most kinds of contact outside of the occasional hug or handshake. But for about a week, I've had an almost uncontrollable urge to touch my friends' forearms when I'm having conversations with them, to hug them when I greet them and hug them goodbye. It's a little strange, and almost feels like I've just been released back into society by some organization that held me in solitary confinement for far too long.

Okay, you can laugh at me now.

Anyway, the grind of school was made that much more monotonous by my recent taste of freedom. In the oh-so-eloquent profile words of one of my good friends:

LET ME GRADUATE!

You've started a band? Wow, thats uberfun. I hope you guys have and awesome time and rock the house. :D

O_O But I wouldn't laugh at you, because the idea's brilliant! Best wishes and complete luck with your endeavour- because you can start fulfilling a dream that I'll never get to reach. (I've wanted to do music, most of all sing, because I know I have the talent and I love it but my parents are firmly set against it.)

Graduation is good. XD Two-and-a-half years of monotony and toiling remain in my future...and I'll be sixteen then, giving me even less freedom then most after graduating, but I look forward to it anyway. X3

You're starting a band? Squee!

Hee, thanks. We're thinking about calling ourselves "The Four People in School Least Likely to be in a Rock Band," but think that might be a little bit lengthy. ;)

Seriously, though, we should have a really good time.

Thank you! :) And though this is going to sound like I'm feeding you some sort of cheesy line, if you can sing and you're good at it, you can always pursue it once you're out of high school. Go for it!

Graduation is wonderful, but it doesn't come soon enough. :P

Squeeing is exactly what I'm doing right about now. ;)
