Life Update (3/17/15)

The green noodle speaks...
I haven't made one of these in a while, so I might as well do one tonight x3.
Life right now is both good and bad. The good news is that my band and I are doing better than before - it's the same lineup as another band I had in the past that did well during my last year of high school, but the only differences are that I play bass instead of guitar now, the rhythm guitarist got good enough to be the sole guitarist, and him and I both sing lead :P. We have the same name as my last band (Invalid Heroes), but before we had another guitarist who we ended up dropping, since he wasn't showing up too often when we brought back our current drummer as a bandmate and close friend (reasons being due to work, his mentioning of his dislike of the new lineup, and possibly his mood), and the current guitarist played drums. Pretty much, I've been in a ton of bands with the same people, where we all seemed to be playing different instruments XP. I still miss the guitar as my main instrument sometimes, but I love the bass more, so I'm ok with how things are going :3. I just hope this time, they go well, because if this band flops too, then I'm going to stop trying to get with bands so I can just focus on school, and then my own work.
Another good thing is that I got a new car :3. My old Taurus I had for a year (I got it after losing my other Taurus, my first car, in an accident in December 2013 D:) had a broken transmission, and was deemed 'totaled,' which means that the cost for repairing the car is worth more than the car's value (this can be due to an accident, but isn't always the case; my first Taurus was totaled as well because of the accident I got into ._.). I got a 2010 Ford Fusion for about $8k, and despite it needing new tires and a new rim, it's a very well and stable car :D. I did get a flat tire on Saturday (thanks to the great Mass highways with their massive amount of potholes -.-), so I'm currently getting around with a spare tire. After that, I just need it inspected, and it'll be completely set for me ^^.
Bad news is that my mood has been misbalanced lately :\. I think school is getting to me again, especially since I was getting used to having so many days off due to the blizzards we had over here, and the direction the band is going is both giving me hope and making me think that school is a waste of a time, or a distraction. Despite the fact that I KNOW that's not the case, I just keep feeling that way :\. I've also been seeing the doctor alot for alot of minor and unrelated medical problems (chest pains; non-cardiac, ear infection, constant heartburn (I didn't actually see a doctor for the last one, but I mentioned it to him when I got a ear checkup)), which just makes me feel like I'm unhealthy. But hey, that's growing up, I guess >.>
But don't worry, I will be ok :3. I'm generally positive, despite getting highly pessimistic at times, so don't worry about me. I just wanted to mention it to you all, in case you were interested in finding out what's been going on in my life x3. Due to being busy almost every day, I have not been able to record my own material at all lately (including finishing the requests), but since I'm on spring break this week, I can get back to work for Thursday (should be all I need; I did have today free, but I spent it taking a holiday, since I kinda need one :P). I'll be out and about that day anyways, so why not just add more stuff, right? :P
Anyways, that's the end of my update! I hope you all are doing ok, and if not, you can come to me if you need a shoulder to lean on ^^.

As far as being busy all the time, I know the feels. I only really get on a lot when I'm off of work, but otherwise I'm not on a lot. I apologize about not talking much.
And it's ok hon *hugs*
