Among a few other things of course…

Wow, finally 18, I almost thought it would never happen. One thing that I had forgotten about which I quite liked was this:

The following is an e-mail from the past, composed on Wednesday, September 20, 2006, and sent via FutureMe.org

Hi. I figured this would be an appropriate time  to send another of these, once every 2 years seems good. Once I get these my future will be sealed, hopefully good A-levels and off to university. Wow, this will go past so much work and so many decisions, kinda funny to think. Once this arrives the future shall literally be unfolding out before me and I hope that 6th form has been a very enjoyable time. Well, not gonna make it an essay, at this point I’m 1 month from quitting RS except for the fun aspects.
Oh yeah, happy 18th birthday too :)

Essentially I was right, my A levels got me into Uni and my future is pretty sealed and even better than I could have imagined back then, I didn’t expect what I got.  Having enjoyed receiving it so much I immediately went and wrote one for this time next year which I think will be saved till then, I can’t imagine things will be as better than I thought then, if they were I would probably explode with happiness.

Also, I don’t know why but I’m really connected with Dredg today, I bought their album A Catch Without Arms on the strength of…um…0 songs, I think I just listened to the preview and bought it, a risky move really but it turned out good.  Something about the style of it just works with my mood today, I’m personally categorizing it (along with a couple other bands I’m checking out recently) as “Indie Prog”, which probably isn’t very accurate given that I don’t know enough about Indie to really comment, although I like to think I know it when I hear it.  With Dredg I hear indie but also kinda atmospheric proggy stuff, which makes it sound cool.

Given this post is mostly ramble anyway, I’m also getting on ok at my first jarb.  Things were pretty darn scary at first but they’ve settled down a bit now and I’m getting comfortable.  I still seem to think they’re gonna turn around and realise they didn’t want to hire me at all, I dunno really why I find it so difficult to think that a company would actually employ me but there we go…

I must away, raving calls…
