Obsessed with Strings

I recently sold my old guitar to my roommate, in an effort to upgrade to a better one. It was a Jasmine by Takamine S35 acoustic:

After doing the Taylor 110 vs. Martin DX-1 debate, I finally decided on a Taylor 110:

Now I really want a ukulele too. (Heh.) The one I really want is the Kamaka Standard (HF-1) uke, but it's like $700.

So, I'll probably get a Lanikai LU-21 sometime, which is loads cheaper.

Speakers = Alive?

Now that I'm home, both my computer speakers suddenly work :D and now my new favorite song is Snow (Hey Oh) by Red Hot Chili Peppers. I love that intro :)

Self-revelation

I've made a self-discovery: my confidence and my voice volume are directly related (confidence is independent variable, volume is dependent variable). I'm pretty much sure that's why people couldn't hear me in high school, but they could just fine in college (even when I talk to old high school friends). And then my voice volume dropped during my first days working in the lab.

First (full) Day of Summer

And I have nothing to do. How awesome? I think?

Yesterday I went with my mom to the mall and I got my first maxi skirt, a blue gradient tiered one from Old Navy. I'm a little worried, since I've never worn a maxi skirt before, and my rule has always been "right above the knee."

On another note, I need to get a webcam. Like maybe this one. Or this one.

I'm currently into what I refer to as "underrated songs," the ones that are really good but not the single on the album, so people (including me) do not think of them readily. BUT THEY'RE STILL GOOD.

The Fray - All At Once

Keane - Everybody's Changing
Keane - Can't Stop Now
