Band from Prescott

Hai ;)
I just went to a concert at my church. Correction: Not at my church but hosted by my church.. Eh, most of you know what I'm talking about. Saturday night- whatever you want to call it. Remember when it was called Firehouse? LOL. Anyway, a band from Prescott came... Don't know what they're called but they were really good. I came in late so missed a lot :( But yeah, they were really good! No surprise there, Prescott bands are always talented. They played.. Non-mainstream, radio friendly, kind of alternative music. Not sure if that would make sense but that's what my impression was. They did a country song in the end that nearly put me to sleep but was still talented. Problem was, they didn't have much of a stage presence.. So it was hard to stay focused. The music was good but it didn't really pull you in. There was a drum solo though. And a bass solo. And numerous guitar solos.
I was originally going to talk about a band I'm not naming (a friend told me about them)but I just did some research and did not like what I found. They opened for Marilyn Manson. That's all you need to know. All I needed to know. It's a shame, I liked their music. Underground style. Remember when Underoath was underground? Apparently they played in church basements at some time. Wonder if they still do. They should play in my church's basement. Or in our fellowship hall since we don't have a basement.
Dang, I'm bummed. I really wanted to talk about that one band. Oh well.

Here goes..!

Hello :)
So, this is my first post. I've had a lot of time on my hands these last few months so I figured I might as well do something with it. Letting out my energies, I suppose.
I'll probably talk about things like music, life in India, my dog, books, and ugh, school. When school starts. Yes, I'm going to highschool for the first time in my life. I've been homeschooled these last 7 years and I'm pretty nervous! Thankfully, I know someone at the school I'm going to. So I won't be completely alone. And anyway, highschool is where you learn. We shouldn't be going to socialize or meet new people. We are so lucky to have free, good education. When you go to school and get crappy grades because you're too busy with your social life... You're throwing away something that thousands of kids in other countries would love to have. Eh, sorry. I sound whiney and complaining. Something I don't want to do with this blog!
Music!!! Ok, this band, Rocky Loves Emily, need to be found! I read an article about them in HM magazine and got bored one day and decided to look them up. Now usually, I'm more of a hard rock girl but this band is so refreshing! They make me think of lemonade, beaches, and the mall. Their song Clueless, is so adorably innocent and cute it makes me smile. Look them up! Or click on "rocky loves emily" above. They're pop rock... With a few short guitar solos. Oh and I think they're from Cali. They look like they're from Oregon though because they all have long, shaggy hair. They claim to be Christian but yeah, I haven't heard them talk about God in their songs. They got reviewed in a Christian magazine and talked about how much God's been helping them but other than that, nothing.
Speaking of! We survived the "end of the world"! Big surprise. I wonder if that guy got sued. All those people who believed him! Oh and get this, there's a company that will take care of your pets after the rapture. I SO need that. But my worry is... How do I know that they'll really take care of Eagle when I'm gone? I won't be able to sue them or anything if he goes hungry. Hmm, I'll have to think about that.
