guitar. and half a piano.

pat plays guitar! and half a piano. or well like some of a piano. not like an actually "half" like someone cut a piano. gah. u get what i mean. i think. (well i already knew this, but not the "half" part)

random i know. but i was listenign to one of my favourite songs, and decided to look up guitar tabs for it, and seeing as i lack and music inclinations, asked pat very nicely if he understood them (i ASKED for those wondering, there was no forcing of any kind or coersion going on (ooh which reminds me). and he did. so he played. :D oh and for those wondering, the song in question was "I Don't Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw. good song that. i like. much.

had a 21st last night, Nhan's (3 months after his actuall birthday, but yea anyway), twas good, had lots of fun, met MORE people, and the son of a family friend that i didnt know they had, if that made sense....which i dont think it did. but yea. oh well. we had arm wrestles, card games, card tricks, drinking games, ghost stories, spinning the knife (that was weird. heheh and we (or i mostly lol) found a use for the knife later on lol heheh. and no raf, no one was hurt or injured or threatened in any way!) and making them do challenges, chin up thingys, awesome food, etc etc. (hahah some of you might appreciate this - my boots that i wore (the flat ones, not the heeled ones - the ones that i wear all the time - the semi khaki ones) were called "ninja boots" and shortly after i got called tomb raider hahahahahahah. after recent events i found that quite funny.)

anyway. off to watch some TV. i should be back to edit or publish this later, depending on what button i hit before i go lol

inspired.....to procrastinate

but before procrastination begins. a few birthdays of note:

Bodie (20) on the 1st of Sept, Tate (21) for saturday the 2nd, Phil (20) on the 5th, Embo (20) for the 6th, and Shaun (20) AND it's TODAY, and .....i'm sure i've missed someone. i'm sorry. if it's you, do let me know and i'll edit! HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYONE!!

AND upcoming holidays. tis almost the end of the year. only four more weeks after the holidays. YAY.

it has been a strange few weeks - with deaths, and anniversaries - the sudden deaths of Steve Irwin, and of Peter Brock - both died doing what they do, and anniversaries of the Chilean Government being overthrown or whatsits successful coup d'etat, and of course 9/11 - the destruction of the World Trade Centres (aka the twin towers) in New York City.

hmm. wonder what's going to happen next.
don't mistake my lax writing for not caring or whatnot (although it's probably true - i don't much), but yea. in a "meh" mood at the moment...

ANYWAY - onto the reason for posting randomly. Bodie inspired me to procrastinate. grrrrrr
so here are the songs. this was from my "work/essay" playlist, so yea, i had to skip the ones that didn't actually have words/lyrics in them. the playlist was mainly dance/house/club/trance etc. etc. wonder how its gonna work out. meh. some are dead giveaways, but yea oh well.
