So, it's finally happened. My heart officially melted from a smile. Yup, you heard it right. Tonight I was over at Mark's house just to see him for awhile (because I kind of love seeing him a lot) and at one point I was laying on my side hovering over him, and he looked up at me and had the cutest smile ever. To top it off he smiled that smile not once, but thrice and did that really cute innocent voice that made my cold heart pitter patter just a bit faster. It's permanently embedded in my head, and I will always replay it whenever I need to cheer up. Mark is by far the best person to come into my life, when I needed him the most.

Two more days until Blue Man Group, and Thursday is shopping with my grandma. Hopefully I can persuade her into letting me get my hair cut/colored. I've got three different outgrowth colors, and split ends like nobody's business. Any ideas for colors? See my about page to get a picture of what I look like. My complexion is usually slightly tan, though my skin tone is more on the lighter side of the spectrum despite the fact that I'm part Mexican.

Feeling breezy? 'Cuz I sure am. April 5th is CSS Naked Day which promotes web standards. "Plain and simple. This includes proper use of (x)html, semantic markup, a good hierarchy structure, and of course, a good 'ol play on words. It's time to show off your < body >."

Next week Mark and I are going up to Madison, WI to see Blue Man Group. He's seen them a couple of times, but I've yet to ever see them live before, so I'm excited to go. Though I can't say I'm looking forward to a three hour drive to/fro with Mark (aah, shh I kid, I kid!) I believe we'll be up there on the 10th and the 11th. So please, try not to plan any nuclear attacks while I'm up there, I would like to leave with all my limbs attached.

Other than that I haven't been up to much lately. Actually, now that I look at it, I haven't really posted much about my personal life all that much. I suppose it's because I've been trying to be a bit more private and I wasn't sure if people actually enjoyed reading on about my personal doings. I sort of kept it on livejournal instead of here. But things have been pretty good; I had my final interview (as well as background check and drug test) for a major retailer last week so I should be hearing back from them to finish the process tomorrow sometime (though I plan on calling them.)

I registered for a summer course at JJC which starts May 14th. Classes are Mondays and Wednesdays from 5-9:55pm at their main campus. Fun stuff! Not only that but in 33 days I will finally turn 21. Yes, I am excited. I will finally be able to go out with my boyfriend and friends when they go out to bars. I can finally drink away my life without having to depend on someone else to buy the stuff for me. Though I can't say I was a big drinker prior. I'm not sure what I'll be doing for my birthday but I know Amy plans on getting me absolutely ripped.

So long as it's not Bourban Street I'm all good. I'm just excited because when you're 21, you've kind of hit that bracket where you don't feel young, but you don't feel old yet. When you turn 18, it usually signified that you were out of high school, able to buy cigarettes, and purchase porn and lotto. When you turn 19, there's nothing special. When you turn 20, you're no longer a teenager but you're stuck in age purgatory. But now.. 21... Yeah, it's a nice age. Too bad I'm not turning 25, unlike some stinker I know (56 more days until you're officially an old fart!)

We all know that for the past year (or more) Myspace has been the main source for bands promoting their music and obtaining fans. But personally I've grown weary of having to deal with Myspace for the soul fact that I detest having to deal with the ridiculous load times, poor coding (especially when the band "customizes" their profile), ridiculous spam comments, and just myspace in general.

Even though I realize that nowadays people don't want to pay for a domain name, and hosting so their next best option is looking for someone else to provide them services for free. Musicians Wanted at Music.com - Get Discovered: offers artists to have blogs, an artist profile, band member profiles, photos, an event calendar as well a other features. I think the biggest feature they have is that you're able to upload your music, and sell it through the site.

I haven't looked at it in detail, but apparently you cannot listen (or stream) to the music you might find on their site. Their FAQ stats that Music.com is just a hub for searching out music information, rating it, reviewing it, and connecting with other users. They do mention that they do plan on integrating the ability to listen to your favorite music online, so if you're looking for a means of streaming music you might want to look elsewhere.

But for a band this might be something to look into considering it can't help to expand your listener base by joining a website geared towards providing such. Hell, you might even be able to sell some tracks and whatnot through their site. I tried to look up more information in regards to that, but I wasn't able to find anything. Either way, I sifted through some of the pages and the site seems to be pretty nice. I can't say I'll refer to it in the future, but that's because I am ridiculously picky with the music I listen to and why I only listen to bands I've been listening to for ages!
