HE IS RISEN INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yessss, what a good day.  the day Jesus rose from the dead.... it's so.... happy/reassuring, yes, yes it is... woot...

oh man..... *forgot when i last updated................goes and looks..............................okay, all better now*

Friday = show = sick = great = awesome.......
Everlasting Embers new stuff has come such a long way (it's a good thing).... FT & EE are gonna own this town soon enough...well we already do, but even more. lol.  Reprove The Chaste from Norfolk was effin sick.... loved it... danced way too much, haha, i'm still sore.... not as sore as some shows, but it was good to actually have a good/danceable band play the annex...besides us, ha.  now i must give an insanely large THANK YOU to all of you who come and see our shows, buy our merch, clap, singalong, scream along, dance, w/e...... the last few shows when our set has had the most people by far - it just blows me away.... like, we're super humbled by all of it, and i just wanted to tell ya'll thanks, for real...woah.  so we effed up the new song...a lot, haha... oh well, we're gonna fix it up tonight and change some parts, and hopefully i'll get the lyrics memorized, hahaha.....
the horizon - always good times, but wow, i have way too many effin friends....there's not even enough room for all of us, and it's so noisy!  hah...

wow, i can't believe how blessed i am to have met and loved all of u as friends.... i don't think i could even make a list b/c there's so many of you..... holy crap, like... there's so many memories EVERY day.. i can't even remember all of them to put on here................. geeeeezzz... xlovex

so i'm pretty sure ima change all my sn's that i can (NO message board s/n's, and not my booking s/n.... but like my aim, msn, yahoo, xanga, myspace, livejournal, e-mail... all of that will be changed to - xdamx ...... woot).. i'll let ya know when i do.

saturday.... i finally got an idea of what to do on the doubledate while doing paperroutes....odd, but true....  met Sparr, Lindz, & Maggie @ Panera Bread, had lunch... yumm, i'd never been there... then we were gonna go bowling, but the weather was sooooo nice, so we went to bacon creek, hung out, swang, did the merry go round w/little kids (hahah..oh man, i think we made em' sick....oops!), walked all the way around, reminisced, etc... good times, awesome weather.. not to mention i love bacon creek and the outdoors in general...so good... mmmm
then we came home, justin went to work, got everyone informed about The Ring 1 & 2 marathon (tried to at least...), went to Sara H.'s....... it was me, ...okay nvmd, not even gonna try to name everyone there.. it was about 15 of us packed in her basement, good times... coloring, movie, the horse, the barbies, oh geeze, jon..... oh man.. jon..... that boy... oh man... haha, you had to be there i guess.. id't take me about 12 pages of typing to type out everything awesome that goes on every day.... and ef, as if this isn't long enough.  then The Ring 2 @ promenade... here's a story, i have to tell, b/c it deserves recognition:
x712xScenexStoryx:
so there's a piano player playing stuff to a beat in the lobby of the Promenade Cinema... we go over and listen while we're waiting for friends, showtime, etc...  so then when quinn/brandon/bradd/megan got there, we all decided that on 3 we were gonna 2 step to it... so we did, got lots and lots of funny looks from preps *kills them all, yesss* and then we moved on.... so then we go in the theatre... and it was just us, and sarah (the girl i work with, and she's totally down w/scene stuff...) and her b/f.  so we had the whole place to ourselves, so we all threwdown infront of the screen and in the isles/stairs, floor..... it was amazing... then people started coming in and i got tired so we threw up our x's and sat down... Quinn keeps going, it was sooooooooooo sweet... (wow this is getting long, sorry!)... then he sits down and is like "oh wait, i forgot something"... ) goes all the way back down (we were in the back row).  throws up hix x's, does some spinkicks, and comes back up...... we clapped, the preps laughed/stared, ef em, oh well.
ring 2 was pretty good, well alright.  not spectacular, but the plot was neat.
i enjoy being w/lindz....ahhhhhhhhhh, a lot.  woot.  i just have to make sure that i even it out.. b/c i can't just always be w/her, and i can't just always be w/friends... it's just gonna have to be that way.

oh did i mention this:
EF ALL OF YOU hataz/hypocrites...... if u don't get it, then it doesn't pertain to you... but i could care less about all of you that think i have changed or am a bad person b/c i say "ef"?  wow... get an EFFIN life...  it's not the 1800's, you don't have to be so old fashioned... go to church in jeans sometime... hang out w/someone who ISN'T a christian.. IT'S OKAY, YOU EFFERS!

*for those who don't know.. .there's lots of adults/parents of friends of mine/adults in my church who read, mine, urs, and our friends xangas b/c they're lame snoops like that.... and they don't like some of the things we/i do....ef em*

soooooooooo glad that's out. i hope they read it. 

then church today was good, as stated at the top.... i seriously love how my drums look/feel/sound now... wow.... it's amazing, ima go perfect some more INSANELY FAST BLASTBEATS this afternoon.... ima get the whole paria cd memorized...yesss.. i already know it all, just not from memory...some of it i have to be listening to it, if that makes sense... but yah.... 

did i mention that For Today shows are only gonna get crazier?  yes, yes they are... we're working on things and just tons of stuff.. hoping to make every show better/crazier than the one before it... and we need to get like some sorta promo crew or street crew, w/the ef you wanna call it.. and weekly missions for shows... /goals, etc.... i can't wait for the day when there's 150-300 people at every decent local show and 200-600 kids at bigger scene tours here.... that's gonna rule... think about it, we're not even that far away!

NO CHURCH/YOUTH GROUP TONIGHT...spread the word...
we're gonna have an earlier band practice than usual, and then we're down w/hanging out w/all of ya... thinking about bacon creek maybe?  not sure..

anyway
after work ryan called me and he needed to get out of merril/lemars so he came over, we ate some pizza, talked, showed him the new buttons, hung out, listened to The Agony Scene, Misery Signals, Showdown, & Alexisonfire, watched him play vid. games, etc.... then he left around 12:15 b/c of dang parents, oh well...

TIMBO IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! b/c of him my drums sound super effing amazing now.......................woah... he surprised me w/an easter present (a much needed one)... i've totally changed how my drums are setup now too, you'll see it at the show..
