I just remembered something that has meaning in my life. I downloaded SETI@home yesterday and have joined the search for aliens. This is somethng that has me so incredibly excited I can't find words for it. And logic tells me that it's not that exciting, that I have at best a minscule chance of finding anything, and that it's taking up a lot of space on my hard drive. I have told logic to f**k off. This is the most titillating thing to happen to me all summer! As of now, I am 4% of the way through my first chunk of data. Woo! Talk about progress!

Many interesting things have happened since my last journal. I went to the Renaissance Faire. There, I bought a pattern for a piece of clothing touted as "The 21st Century Survival Kit!". Whatever. I also have practiced violin again and discovered that I still can't play worth crap. Oh well. I went drving for the second time in my short life. I made lots of circles in a parking lot. It was fun. I also started to call Mr. P Leach, but unfortunately, I discovered that my calling card was expired. Shit. I went to a craft store and bought small tiles for a project I am doing. I then did some quick calculations and found that enough tile to complete the project would cost $35. Bummer, says I. So I thinks to myself, Perhaps I will go try to bum some tile off of a tile store. I got a letter today saying that my article submitted for rejection had been rejected. "Too colloquial and chatty", says they. Bummer, thinks I. I have given up writing articles. In fact, I have given up writing most things, except these journal entries. I can never think of endings. And my characters are all very two-dimensional. It's disheartening. I have also realized that I feel very empty this summer. My life has little meaning. I think it's because I have no friends I enjoy spending time with anymore. I also have very few friends worth having conversations with. I have a couple, mind you. But not many. Hmm. See, now I don't know how to end this. I think a strong curse word would be good: f**k.

I am getting very frustrated with my violin. I am going to be playing a song for my mom's wedding in a week, and I have gotten to a point where it feels that I will never improve. Every time I practice, I get pissed off at myself and at my instrument for not sounding good. It is extremely stressful and I don't know what to do, save smashing my violin and my head against the wall. I don't know how I'm going to deal with this. Someone please tell me.

I will write about yesterday. I went to a music fest at which THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS was playing. WOOOOOO! They kick so much ass! I love them! There was a huge crowd, and my and my friends were right up front. We screamed and clapped and jumped like there was no tomorrow. I got a t-shirt and had it signed. I could hardly sleep last night. In fact, I wouldn't have been able to, except for the fact that I was so damn tired from screaming and jumping and tapping my feet and singing along. Really, I cannot think of words to describe just how much they rocked and how full of energy the whole thing was. It was incredible. I intend to go see them every time they're in Denver now. They are so so so so so good!
