Hello my name is . . . and I am addicted to Rock Band


First off, I am not a video game kind of girl. I also cannot sing or play and instrument. So, I am imagining that people are perplexed as to how I could be so addicted to the video game, Rock Band for X-Box 360. Honestly, I don't know myself. We didn't even own this game until yesterday, after a long and painful day at work, I came home to find Jeremy rocking out in our living room, music blasting, guitar in hand as he belted out the lyrics to Radiohead's Creep. I knew immediately that this is what he had spent all day doing. I immediately joined in. Later that night, I sat glued to my TV mastering songs like Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Celebrity by Hole. I didn't move from 9:30pm to Midnight. I dragged myself to bed, tossing and turning all night, just waiting for the morning. At 7am my alarm went off and I was up and downstairs warming up the X-Box, I dragged Jeremy out of bed too, because how good is a band if there isn't a guitar player. I have to admit, we contemplated staying home all day and practicing for our upcoming tour, but instead we dragged ourselves to work like the mature adults we are. Tonight we will be at it again, and pretty soon we will make the important decision of a band name. Right now it is between The Dick Bag Kids or the Hospital Bombers . . . to be continued
