Whoa. How is it the last day of BEDA already? I don't want it to be over! Despite what I said in my last blog. It's nice to have something I do every single day like this. Even if I have nothing to say. Though I do have a few things to say today. So, this blog, in Vlogbrothers fashion, comes in two parts!
Part 1: Beginnings and Endings
As most of you know, I am a huge wizard rock fan and my favourite band that is still currently making music is Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls. (The only other band who comes close to being in the same league for my love of their music is the Mudbloods.) Well, last night Christian announced that after Wrockstock 4 he wouldn't be playing anymore big shows as OBatR. He won't be releasing the other House EPs, though he does still have Bare Bones Volume 2 and another EP in the works. So at least we'll get some more music out of him before he hangs his wizard robes. He is going to be writing Muggle Music, so that's good but...this means that I will never get to see him live. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that I was devastated when I read his blog post. I knew what it was as soon as I saw the link on Twitter, but that didn't mean to say that I wasn't still upset. BUT I have thought it about, and I've gotten over the initial shock. And while I'm sad and disappointed that I'll never get to see him play as OBatR, I have faith that I'll get to see him play as Christian Caldera.
Christian, if you read this, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for all of the time you put into making such inspirational music. There isn't a time when I feel upset or sad that your music doesn't cheer me up. I can be having the worst day ever, and I put on one of your albums, and half-way through the first song that pops up, I am singing and smiling. So I have to thank you for that. Your music is such an inspiration, even for someone like me who can't write music to save her life. I love the way you write your lyrics. I think if wizard rock was ever to go main-stream (Merlin help us if that happens!) your music would be some of the first to hit the audiences because it's so general. And I love that. So, thank you. I hope to see you at Leaky Con - even if you're not going to be playing. :)
Part 2: Looking Back
Looking back over this month, I can't believe how fast it went. I honestly have no idea how it got to be August 31. It's September tomorrow. September! HOW did this happen, pray tell? School will be starting soon, summer is almost over. I'm nervous now that we're so close.
I tried to look back over my blog posts to see what exactly I did this month, but nothing really popped out at me. I did a lot of random posts, I did a few really good posts. So I'm going to try to remember off the top of my head some things that have really impacted me this month.
The start of the month had me working a lot. I was really not impressed at the time, but I would rather be working all the time like that than what I have been lately. It's boring. But anyway. I was working a lot. I left Ardene's, and it was bittersweet. They told me that I could come back at any time, which is amazing. I got "promoted" at the HPA. John Green tweeted at me. I played a lot of Pokemon and did a lot of writing. I started posting on fanfiction.net again. We lost Esther. Mockingjay was released. I got accepted as a LeakyCon volunteer. I got a TARDIS. I moved. I spent some quality time at the lake. I watched a lot of Torchwood.
Most of this is really trivial. Some of it has meant a lot to me. But I still don't know where the month went. It's been an amazing month, and I look forward to writing more soon. (Though probably not until the end of the week.)
Listening To: Every Star, Every Planet - Murray Gold
Reading: Yep, you guessed it - Dracula.
Writing: Erm. Nothing?
Thankful for: Summer.
