Hah! One day I’ll be able to see this band live(!!) ...when I’m 60 and hobbling around with a freakin’ cane. :-p

I don’t have much hope that I’ll see them anytime soon.

I don’t think I really have the drive to learn Spanish. On one hand, it’s essential to know it—especially in South Florida!! But everything I’d learned in Spanish 1 just sort of went in one ear and out the other. In fact, I used my mediocre knowledge of french to pass my Spanish final. Kinda pathetic, when I think about it.

On the other hand, when ever I’m around my friend’s spanish friends, I truly feel like an idiot not being able to communicate with them. I understand what THEY’RE saying, but I can’t speak to them as fluidly as I’d like to.

I think I’d still like to attempt to learn this language, being that my ancestry does stem from Mexico and Spain, but it’s going to be a helluva trudge upwards when it comes to mastering it. I wonder if that’s even possible? lol.

People tell me that I never, ever appear to be afraid, when in social situations. I just kind of throw myself into them, they tell me. What they don’t realize is that behind the bubbly personality is a frightened little girl who just wants to get the heck out of there! I really, really want to get over that feeling. I still have trouble relaxing when talking to people I’ve just met. I sincerely hope to extinguish that fear one day. Otherwise, how the hell else am I going to function in this world?
