Downloading, downloading, downloading.


So I have no idea when it got to be so fucking late. I didn't even realize what time it was. But here I am again, 4:39 in the fucking morning.

I don't have much to say. I'm just doing what I usually do when it get's late and I have nothing better to do.

School started back up on Monday. Lame. I'm taking Writing 122, Math 60, and Western Civ. Basically all the lamest, most boring classes I could have possibly taken. I'm taking Western Civ with Tessa but that's it. So our schedules are different for the first time in a long ass time. Hah.
I hate my classes. I hate my teachers. I hate having to be in school. But hey, whatever. It will be worth it in the end. Plus, it definitely beats high school. That's for sure. No way I could go from PCC back to Sunset.




I'm basically in a tunnel right now because I'm fucking stupid, and doing anything to avoid the wrath of my father. I've got a blanket over me and the computer to avoid the light in my room showing through the door. My dad gets up at 5:30 and if he finds out I'm still awake, I'm getting my ass kicked. Another reason why I hate living with my parents. I mean, I don't know why it bothers them so much when I stay up. But whatever. I'm working around it. Hahah.






I've been without the music on my computer for the last 2 or 3 days because I've had to disconnect my external hard drive from my computer.
[A little background to explain what all this is about:] Tuesday I'd pulled an all nighter and talked to Katie all night through text messages. Then around 8 she took me to her barn to see her horse. After that we left to go pick up Tessa at school to go to lunch. We called it our NINaversary, because it was exactly one month from the Portland show that we'd all seen together. So while in the car, we all listened to the audio form the show, and talked about how we knew that Trent's announcment was going to be the DVD from the show, because they were fimling at our show, and the ones before and after ours. Soooooo, when Katie dropped us back off at school, we had to book it to class because we spent an extra few minutes in the car listening to the Terrible Lie recording.
Halfway into class, I grabbed my phone, and get a flood of text messages from Katie. My service was bad in that ONE spot, so I didn't get any of them until I moved it. The text messages were Katie yelling at us about the announcment. The 'gift'. We had to leave the class, run outside, and call Kaite. Trent had announced this:

1.7.09: your gift!
The internet is full of surprises these days.
I was contacted by a mysterious, shadowy group of subversives who SOMEHOW managed to film a substantial amount (over 400 GB!) of raw, unedited HD footage from three separate complete shows of our Lights in the Sky tour. Security must have been lacking at these shows because the quality of the foota
ge is excellent.

If any of you could find a LINK to that footage I'll bet some enterprising fans could
assemble something pretty cool.

Oh yeah, you didn't hear this from me.

Ironically that was posted 3 MINUTES after I'd checked the site earlier at lunch. Wow, what the fuck. Haha. After that, all I wanted to do was get home and download it. I couldn't fucking wait.




So back to now: I hadn't been able to download that fucking thing for some unknown reason. I had my brothers extra external hard drive that holds 500 GB of memory, so I had the space. I just couldn't get it to DOWNLOAD. So I tried my dad's computer [because it's a PC instead of a mac, and can get utorrent on it] and it STILL wouldn't work. So I've finally disconnected it, so that I could get my music up, then figured I would just wait. I think there is something wrong with my brother's hard drive, so I'll have to go buy a new one. Maybe that will solve the problem.
Well, I decided to give it one more try. And look, 0.9% now, and 2 seeders. Awesomeeee. Sure it's only the first video for Portland, but I want to see SOMETHING. I mean, one of the camera guys filmed sooooo much of us that night. I'm excited to see it.


Tessa's invited me to the beach this weekend. I'm fucking tired and just want to be lazy and relax after the first week of school school school, but it sounds like we're going to party it up the whole time, so it should be fun. I just have to work up the energy to get my shit together and leave. Hahaha.



I have a feeling this next NIN tour is going to be amazing. Katie, Tessa and I have planned on roadtripping and following the band to at least 5 shows. Basically living in that car the entire time. I can't fucking waittttttt.

:D


6:16 - My dad is up.
I'm out.
