So there is this totally cool band called DragonForce.

Now, the coolest thing is that I got to see them in concert yesterday. :D They put on a FANTASTIC show, and their all amazing musicians. Their two lead guitarists in particular are amazing. Interestingly, their bassist is also a fantastic guitar player, but since this band is hogging all the talent in the world he's relegated to playing base. lol Anyway, so that was super cool. Unfortunately, I'm rather tired today since I didn't get back home until about 1AM. Also, the clothes I was wearing smell terrible. lol But yeah, it was super cool though and I'm totally glad I went.

Update
Hello again, and sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. I've been feeling somewhat abused by life of late, and have not had a whole lot of time, and therefore haven't thought of posting.
The lake has, of course, opened up by now, and I have seen a couple of boats out already, mostly fishermen. Though reportedly, my mother was a skier in the last week or two, though it may not have been on Waubesa. But on that subject, we now have the pier, and the boat hoists out, which is incredibly exciting! I am simply bouncing with anticipation of things warming up enough to start using the lake again. Way, long, long ago, back in September I think it was, you may recall that I got a new wakeskate and only got to try it once. It has been sitting in the basement ever since just begging to be used. Todd and I are also going to be doing some experimenting with wakeskating behind the fishing boat. That likely means nothing to you, but I thought I'd say it anyway. ;)
I have been keeping up with my fencing, though I have not been able to make it to any competitions in a while, which is too bad, especially since looks like I'm going to have to miss the one coming up on May second. However, I have been taking private lessons for a couple of months now, and I feel like I just made a very significant break-through in my technique. I won't try to describe what it is since it would be hard enough to do in person, and I fear the significance of it would be lost on those who do not fence. For me, however, it was tremendously exciting. :D
I have also had a great many piano events going on recently. Since the beginning of the year, I have been in two masterclasses, one recital, and one competition. Also, in May and early June, I have another competition coming up, my teacher's piano recital, and my very own Senior recital. I don't know if you attended, or remember, Lydia's recital, but this one will be along the same lines, though in a different venue.
There are only a couple of things more that I would like to mention before I go. I just got myself signed up for a missions trip in August. I think it's going to be a great deal of fun, and a spiritually enriching time as well. The other thing I wish to mention, which is entirely unrelated, is that the book, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Lewis Stevenson, is absolutely fantastic. If you haven't already, you should totally read it. :D
So, with all that being said, I shall be signing off, hopefully for a significantly shorter period of time than before. :)
