See you there!


I'm so effing tired right now. I would have crashed an hour ago but felt like I had to blog this and finish up a few other things online.
Went to electro pop rocks last night with some friends. Fun. =D
Will write a backdated entry on it later.

Currently listening to Zero7, album: Simple Things.
Acid-jazz/trip-hop. Very nice, especially when tired and 130+ bpm trance is unthinkable.
I have not listened to any trance in more than the last 24 hours. Wow.
