12/27/2002 entry: "UNREALISTIC PLAN # 2360"

So okay, I was really tired last night and I thought up this seemingly genius plan.

Then when I woke up this morning, I said "Shit, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. That won't work."

However, I told my sister and my mom and they seem to think it's at least somewhat plausible.

So, if I can convince my dad, and if I can get a bunch of people to help out, we're going to build a practice room.

Did you hear that Sara? You're helping. Because it'll be a practice room. And you can use it too.

Okay. So we're thinking it can be on the back of the house, where we used to have a screenhouse in the summer. RocknRoll. If we can extend it all the way to the pool, it'll be great because it'll be nice and big. Then Jodi's drum set can go in there, my guitars/amps can go in there, my keyboard can go in there... and we'll have somewhere private to practice. It'll be rad. Trust me.

Catch: Jodi and I have to save up our money from now til June, if we can get the permits and get my dad to say "okay" and get a couple relatives, Sara, Nia, maybe Jeremy and Vic to help us. Mwuhahaha. They will help. Because I said so.

Hmm Peggy did Habitat for Humanity once I believe, maybe if she's around this next summer I can ask her to come over and help out a bit.

Most of it would be a weekend thing. Like, Jodi and I can do little things whenever we're home during the week, and maybe at night with a couple other people. But most of the work would be done on weekends and when people have vacations. The fun part would be getting to fix it up once it was built. I get so excited thinking about it, but I know I shouldn't in case it doesn't happen.

Because then there'd be no excuse for Sara, Nia and I. We'd have somewhere to go. In my wildest dreams, the three of us start playing together, get a makeshift temporary band set up, and have mini-shows back there in the summer, when we can have the door open. Sigh.

If our backyard was big enough, this addition could be huge and we really could have mini-shows. And have friends bands play in there. Have open mics. Hahahaha. Oh crap this is going too far. Somebody stop me.

If nothing else, I'd get my equipment out of my room and would have more room for everything. And I'd be happier if my room was less cluttered.

Plus... then if Sara needed somewhere to go when I'm at school, or if she needed to borrow something of mine, she wouldn't have to bother my parents. She would just have a key to the room. Because although it would be an addition, it wouldn't be connected to the house at all. We'd just have to have a door on the outside, and a window or something, and then the door would HAVE to be locked. We'd totally set it up real nice.

I'm getting so ridiculously happy just thinking about this.

And we could make signs to hang on the door... like if I'm recording, I can have a sign that says "Recording, come back later" so I'm not disturbed. Or, if we're practicing, we can just have a sign that says "Practicing, please knock". Yes.

Mmmmmmm I really really really hope we get to do this. Ohhh boy.
