Ugh, my truck is "splat"...well the brakes anyway...The front right brakes are REALLY bad my dad said, so I can't drive it until I get it fixed. Which will most likely be Monday or so. I'm really bummed though cause that will be another 200 bucks for my new brakes. I will never be able to buy anything...200 here, 200 here, 200 dollars everywhere...yet, soon I will have all my stuff paid off and will be back in "the game" in no time at all. I love my truck, I wish I didn't have to not drive it. I will be driving my mom's galant, which ya know is quite nice but darn...now I have to buy new brakes. Oh, David is alright. I spoke with him the other day and he's fine, just stomach cramping and stuff but nothing major I don't think. We are practicing Monday for the first time in like 2 weeks...crazy! We all are so excited to cause there have been so many obstacles that have prevented us to in the past few weeks. Well...I have to go to work..off to make the big bucks at subway!! -Erin EJ

ahh it's such a pretty day right now...it's kinda dark and rainy. I love the sound of rain, it's so calming. I haven't seen David in about a week and a half and he said he was sick...I think something may be wrong, I called him a few minutes ago and no one was home. I hope he's ok, he spoke of his appendix being removed but I don't know. I want to find out soon. I have had fun this past week hanging out with my friends, we went bungee jumping last night and it was fun. I'm not a fan of heights but I just kinda stepped off the platform and was thinking, "ok where's the ground, where's the ground??" I think I'll finally go buy a camera sometime soon. I really need one, I'm always using my video camera or a disposable one...when I also want a "real" camera. Oh dear though, I'm so broke though from bills (car, insurance, things that break on el truck-o)...but I at least work...anyway, hmm, I really wish I could hear from David soon. I'm worried...well then, I'm going to go do something now... enjoy your night, as I will do the same -erin elyse

Yesterday I was sad for undisclosed reasons and I went shopping and finally bought clothes (ps, I never go shopping, except for musical instruments or something...I'm just weird I guess..) Thinking it would make me feel better to get out with my friends, I was wrong...I hate the feeling but it won't go away for like a few weeks and it sucks. There's also nothing I can do about it. I'm ok, I'm not dying or anything but writing about things makes it better, even if just a little bit. We need to practice also, we haven't in a week. We will though soon..I have faith. It's good to take a break every so often though, so you don't kill one another...kidding. I'm going to go soon and finish updating the website..but the past week as been the best time I've had in forever...and that means a lot. Anyways, I will write later...until next time...-Erin Elyse

COMPLETE change in thoughts after practice today...wow was it great! We started to work on a new song then it was sounding cool so we played a little on the new one that we played at the church show and worked more on it. Then as we were about to pack it up and call it a day I started playing this cool idea that I had and Simon played along to it and then David and it sounded sooo awesome and then Simon's like faster, faster! And he actually was playing really really good and "freaking out" to it...today I was sooo happy about that, cause if you've been to other practices we've had in the past, you'd know, Simon just kinda plays alittle and complains of having insomnia..and I really think he does cause he never ever sleeps haha. But today he was really motivated and he was like "wow, im so motivated today"...and he was like "Erin we need more shows!" so I'm like YES!! So, things are looking up I would say, and that is wonderfully fabulous! :)

Hello...it has been a while since I have written, yes I know. I'm kind of perturbed right now, because of parents, not practicing and wanting to move forward. See, we were going to practice Sunday afternoon, which we did, but David didn't come because his parents wanted him home by 1pm...and I have no clue why. So today we planned to practice (and we had planned on doing it today, on sunday) so I call David to make sure and his dad has apparently gone nutty and he is grounded. UGH! And now I'm waiting for a call back from him cause he is begging...which I probably won't get that call because he is forgetful. WHY?? It really bothers me that I can practice whenever I want yet no one else seems to, and I work...I feel like the only one with responsibility and that is probably really true, consider D and S sleep their summer away. I don't dislike them or anything for it cause I know if they had jobs they would work and Simon kinda has a job, but it is just that I'm frustrated with it. And I wish school would start up for them again so that they would awake. Because when they went to school we practiced 4 days a week! That was wonderful and I know they both really want to practice but they let their parents get in the way or sleep is always an obstacle...also..now it seems we aren't on a record label anymore because of Matt saying "I quit"...and the messed up thing about it, is that he can't even tell us himself. He just posts it on every website. That makes me mad. So I guess now we are looking for another label. This is a long entry but I needed to write again on here. Hopefully things will begin to look up, and you should check out my solo venture soon called : erynxelyse...I've got plenty of songs and I am recording also. I will let you know the site address soon when I finish some stuff on it. Well, I shall be going now, ps, AgnostiA is great and someone I'd like to know is very good looking...

GOSH!! Great news...my mom's C-word is benign (sp check?) so it won't spread and isn't bad, from my understanding...but she has to have major surgery on Wednesday. I will be praying (you too!). Today was kind of a bummer day. I was all happy and excited to record tonight and loaded everything in my truck and went to Matt's. Then we waited for Mick to show and he couldn't cause he wanted Matt's dad there cause of reasons I cannot disperse. But we couldn't find his dad then his dad shows up at 8:30, which is kinda late to begin setting up and getting Mick over. So the whole time we were there we kinda ran through things and practiced a bit on new stuff but ugh that was annoying. Tomorrow we are going to give it another shot. Or we will hit up Chris Staples when we gets off tour. But anywho, I just thought I'd let you in on my day. On a different note...work isn't fun a lot of times. It's like a thorn in my side or in my foot and customers wiggle that thorn and it hurts. I don't know I think I need time off from work...heh. Well I shall be going now. -Erin EJ signing out from this journal session

Hello...well I went to court this morning and the judge kinda laughed at the case cause I hit a trash can ha and he was asking me these questions like "do you know who Jefferson Davis is, because you have the same birthday?" and I'm like "Yes sir" and then he asks me who he is and I reply with "well I guess I don't." I'm so glad that is over with cause I, well, it wasn't fun. And then we call my sister to find out my mom has the big C ... and you know what I'm talking about. (bad thing, and a doctor told her she had it, so yeah you know what it is I'm just not going to say it cause I'm sad and am in denial) Anyways, they say that they don't really know how far along it is or if it is curable or not BUT the doc said his wife had it a lot worse and she is fine. Soooo, I'm PRAYING that my mom will be ok. And it was a huge shock to us all. I just thought I would share my day cause it was kinda extraordinary for me. Well...I shall go now and be a sad emo kid :( -Erin EJ

Tis not good to hit people's trash cans when they are watching.... Wellll...Friday me, Simon and Tiffy were driving along going to the Cafe to get something to eat when I get this urge to hit the green city garbage can on the road. So...I tell Simon to open his door on it and give it a tap and the lady was outside and watched as he slammed the door onto the can breaking my side mirror off in the process...Then, I'm like "oh crap!" and we stop down the road to see what damage was done to find that she had gotten in her car and followed us. So I freak out and just start driving and she follows and follows and follows and follows until we end up at the light at palm and hwy 20 outside of my lovely job, Subway, and she blows past us with my mirror in hand, waving it in the air with a scowl on her face. Then we go off to McDonald's parking lot and stop to gather ourselves after this horrid event. We stop to find that my tailgate is halfway broken off and there are scratches and dents. So I call my parents and lie to them saying we accidentally hit it (stupid stupid me) when we all know that every teenager trys at least once to hit one of those things just for a laugh, nothing serious. Anyways they tell me to get home so I go home and get chewed by my dad and have to go to the police station to get questioned. Yahda yahda yahda...I go to court on June 18th and am not allowed to drive for a month and can like only go to my lovely place of business = Subway :) And as for Simon...he's grounded too and has to go to work with his dad now for a while. I just had to share that and tell the whole thing...ahh it sucks not being able to do much but at least we got to play the show tonight. That was awesome...ok well I gtg to sleep. Goodnight -Erin EJ

Hey, David and I just got back from a cruise to the Bahamas with band. It was sooooooooooooo fun even though we missed Simon dearly :) David: "If only Simon were here..." hehe! Friday we are doing a show/party at my house and there will be like food and music and well it's a party and we're playing also. It's like for friends type of thing cause they're the ones who have been like "I want to hear you guys" but there will also definitely be a show on May 27th at Chesapeake Cafe and that will be cool so ....I shall write later...byebye - EJ

Hey, remind me again Florida waves suck at certain times of the day...well they suck pretty much all the time haha. I'm just sitting here thinking..and listening to Element 101, they are good. I just started listening to them cause someone influenced me too and I'm glad I did. I'm bo...oh now I'm not "someone" just got online...I gtg journalthingy, -EJ-a-licious

Hey, this is Erin..I'm bummed, today we can't practice and I'm missing a certain someone..I think wednesday I'm going surfing. I wish I could today but I need to do some stuff. Me and Jade and Simon went to see the show on Friday night at the Chesapeake Cafe. It was good. I like all the bands so it was a great show! They show have more shows there..it's not too bad of a place to have shows. It's no place for moshing though I don't think. Well...I need to go run some errands. Byebye. ~Erin E. Jeffreys

Hello, just got done updating the site and I'm about to go see my sister in the hospital cause my nephew is about to be born. AWWW...I can't wait to see him. That would be cool..me, an aunt...well I guess it would. Simon said yesterday that he was going to start adding journal entries too...that's cool. Maybe Dave will also when I tell him about it. Well, I better be off...goodbye -EJ

Hi, I just started this journal thing cause sometimes I'd just like to write stuff...I just wish we could practice today but David has stuff to do on weekends and that's when I work and Simon, well he just calls me and asks "can we have practice" even though he knows I'm at work...funny guy. Tuesday we will practice and then hopefully by the end of the week the demos wil be done. Oh man, I need to go to work. -Erin Elyse
