wow. a long time has passed then?

i logged in here just now to try and send a message to someone i hadn't seen in a while and who i was reminded of, coincidentally, the other day. And i saw my number of days since i signed up for this particular xanga site - which was at least a year after i signed up for the first one - and it made me realize that that was really quite a long time ago. And i realized that despite lurking on the internet, occasionally reading about your various lives, I've lost touch with most of the people who's blog i used to read/comment on/discuss at length the next day in the corner outside the auditorium (Wow. i sound incredibly sentimental.)

I shouldn't sound sentimental i guess - I don't miss being 16 years old by any stretch of the imagination. And harbord was really not anything particularly special. I wouldn't ever do it again - even if i could do it knowing what i know now.... well.... maybe i would. but i doubt it would change much :P

So I guess I'm just wondering where you're all at in your various lives - where you're living, what you're doing, where you're going.... I know most of you have kept in pretty close touch, and it seems like a boring, unnecessary question, but i'm genuinely curious. If you happen to read this, drop me a line and let me know what monumental events have happened since the last time i saw you?

... sophia.

Heya everyone

*waits for everyone to recover from the shock of the fact that something new has been posted.*

It's a boring day at school and i'm waiting for a  friend of mine to come and meet me in the computer lab. so i decided to post something here and see what happened....

Lots has happened since the last time i posted. i don't really know where to start anymore.

I now play with 4 bands - dr payne and the disease (the funk/rock/fusion band who's blog can be found HERE ) the Toronto All Star Big Band, as well as two bands at school. Next week i go to record some jazz with a trio setting, and hopefully get some playing dinner music for rich people gigs.

I have spoken very rarely to all of you... i am never on msn anymore, mostly because i am never home. in fact, i have not slept at home once in the last 8 days. Most nights i am at school till late, rehearsing or studying for finals, and so i crash with friends who live in residence, or closer to the school. on the few nights when i AM downtown, i stay with my boy, since it's the only time i get to see him.... this weekend i had a late night rehearsal friday night, and rocky horror, which yes i still go to, but not as a "groupie" anymore....  saturday, the disease played a wedding in Stratford Ont.... I slept for about 3 hours on the floor of our bass player's parent's house, before jetting back to toronto for an 11 am call for a show wiht the swing band.... such is my life in post-harbord C.I. world. I couldn't be happier (well.. yes i could.. if i had money for alchohol and wasn't suffering from the beginnings of laryngitis, less than a week before my final recital, i'd be fine!)

I'm leaving the country Dec 20..  and not coming back till after the new year.... andrew, fungus thanks for the invite to your party, happy birthday in advance to both of you.....

in the new year, the disease is recording 6 original tracks and playing a lot of festivals where we intend to SELL said 6 original tracks. I don't know what's more challenging... trying to sing with the band, or being a part of the management/organizational team....

i don't know what else to say. what else should i be telling you all?
