The HSC is just about over;
with only one exam left, IT, I have become quite calm.

Although, it does feel like the rest of my life is quickly encroaching.
To counter this, I isolated myself from everyone for a few weeks.
Very hermit-esque of myself
I fear what kind of old man I become, as I'm already senile and reclusive;

"Damn kids these days, with their bright scene clothing and increasing stupidity. Why, back in my day, kids had taste, and a select few were even intelligent..." etc. etc.

Which would NORMALLY bring me to go on a rant about fashions and trends, and why should people alter their lives to fit into these lifestyles, despite the feeling of unfulfillment within;
aka BE YOUR BLOODY SELF, PEOPLE
Which would THEN lead me to go on about how it's not actually the groups and fashions people follow which lead to turmoil, but the people themselves within these groups, and humanities natural tendency to argue about things which shouldn't need arguing about, hence the cause of countless wars; etc. etc.
Buuuut I won't. heheh

Back to the point, normally I can deal with being entirely on my own for a while. It's not the case so much this time.

In particular, there are a couple of people I have really missed talking to and spending time with; some of the few people I truly hold dear. I have never been one for loads of friends, I just cannot handle the social consequences of having multiple close friends. I've always only had two or three people I consider to be close, with everyone else being aquaintances more so than 'friends'.
I have also never fully understood how people can have many friends they consider really close; and I can even get a bit jealous when they find someone else they want to make a good friend (you know who I'm talking to ), and it usually feels like they have grown past me, and have no further need so they are trying to get rid of me...
That is just how my thinking works, I guess.

But besides that, this hermit style of living has been extremely productive.
I have been playing around 10 hours a day on average of guitar; which is GREAT!!
I also bought a new guitar.
Not saying the Les Paul isn't totally freakin' awesome, I just need a change.
So I got a more "shreddy" guitar; an Ibanez RG550. Pretty rare to find an original production line model from 1987 (which is what I got) for such a good price.

New Guitar

It is the same guitar which guitarists like Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai and Guthrie Govan used up until they got their own promotional deals. I attached a youtube video to each of the names ^^
You should watch them. They are amazing guitarists.


I think I will get some sleep. Goodnight ^^
