Yesterday was pretty good. Work went by fast. I was expecting to get my house keys, but it was pushed back again, to Monday. After work I went with Amy over to see Jib at his flower shop, “In Bloom”, on State Street in Redlands. He has great ideas for wedding flowers; I think it’s going to come out amazing. Amy is really excited also. More people need to visit Jib and buy flowers from him.

I went and bought paint supplies from home depot. I got all kinds of crap, and I don’t even know what I need, or how to paint really. I’ll find out next week though.

Market night was market night, just a bunch of us hanging out, nothing to special.

I believe that the highlight of my day would have to be the artwork that I bought from explodingdog.com. I love sam browns artwork. I already have one of his prints. He doesn’t sell too much of his stuff. I wish he did though.

I’m getting excited about this house thing. I’m all anxious for it. I feel like a little kid on x-mass eve. Jesse told me that I might get the keys tomorrow, if not, then Monday. Amy and I rolled to Ikea last night before bible study. I love Ikea. I got some basic kitchen equipment, and a box of dishes. Nothing special, just things to get by with for a while. I got a lot of cool ideas for the place though. I found the desk setup I want for the computer room, and also the light fixtures I want in the living room.

My wrists are starting to burn again. I thought I was over this attack of burning wrist hurt disease, so I haven’t worn my braces for a few days…. bad idea.

I think I'm going to start posting some of my stories on here. Like the time I had one of my girlfriends punch me in the face while I was sleeping, or the story of how I became known as Josh Highland.

GARRRAARGH! My wrists hurt!

HOT DAMN! Friday was intense. during the 11th hour, problems with my home loan came up. I spent the

whole afternoon transfering funds, waiting hold to credit card people, banks and loan officers. I

think everything will work out.. if every one cashes their checks in the propper orders. After I

got that all cleared up I was spent and left work early.

I got to walk through my house again yesterday, It wasnt as pink as i remember it. Thats a good

thing! I think the lady just had alot of pink decorations that made the pink fixtures stand out even

more and made it feel like a flood of pink. I should have the keys by wednesday.

Teddys garage got cleared out as best as it could for the show. Plague: The Red Letters, went first.

I would say there was about 30 kids in the garage, moshing and having fun. The walls are padded in 3

inch foam to cot down the noise, it also acted as a foam bumber to bounce off of. it ruled. They

played a short set and xdeathstarx went on. I think it was all of maybe 15 seconds before blood was

poaring out of a gash on my cheek. I had bend down to adjust my mics volume just as kevin swung his

bass guitar. I felt the head stock go into my eye socket. It was one of those moments where you just

know that your bleeding… and i was. It added to the chaos though. Every one was going nuts. The

padded walls got knocked down, the overhead lights were ripped down. bodys were flying. I was

bleeding. it was the best show i had ever been to, let alone played. It was a good way to see Teddy

off. I wont see him again for 4 years.

After all of that, we went into thommys house and shome how i ended up wrestling with beejay. I made him tap both times. the first one he tapped because he puked. My elbows are raw from carpet burn. I miss wrestling. maybe i should train. who knows.

…after that we all (30+ of us) went bowling in murieta for free at the bowling alley that sarah works at. I couldnt roll because of my burning wrist hurt disease, so i hung out with eden and krissi. They are awesome people. We didnt get home from the bowling alley until 4:30 am. I was spent.

after i got off work last night I went to home depot with Amy, we walked around and nerded out on home improvement thing like paint and wood flooring. Im really excited about the house. I have the final walk through tonight. Escrow closes on monday.

last night was marketnight in redlands. thats always a good time. sasha came and hung out. i havent seen her in over a month.

i found out that we have a going away show for teddy tonight (he leaves for germany/iraq tomorrow). its going to be a house show with plague: the red letters and xdeathstarx. fun times.
