Re-uniting with my band, after several months.

Admittedly, I neglected attending band practice because I just didn't feel like going. I had lost interest in the politics of being in a band. I play music fr music's sake, not to please "Mr. XYZ." Though I compete in music, I do so for the comments. Well anyways back to the band. I walked in and the pipers all turned and looked at me, I almost shit my pants. Chris S. said, "Look who showed up, it's out plug and play member." Hey, he didn't call me the "bi member," I now amy knows, but ho knows who else knows. He then proceeded to explain to the newer members that I am a piper, tenor and bass drummer. It made me happy to hear that, but not in the look at me sense, but rather, the "I'm home" sense. The group of guys I currently play with do not make up the best band in the area, but we are a close group of guys. We have alot of older guys, and no, I am not attracted to all of them. I have my guy and he's all I want.

So back to the band, Amy mentioned that she had seen a video of the band playing the old comp set at the New Hampshire Higland Games, and she noticed how painfully slow we were playing it. She looked over at me, and said, "thanks Chris." Leave it to a drummer to show the pipers their wrong doings. LOL! Well she mentioned to the other pipers that I had posted the video on youtube, and the pipers thought it was cool. Now my dirty little secrete is out

Well when practice was over, I pulled Amy aside and asked her if I could talk to her, she said yes, and so we went to a corner of the room. I explained to her that my living situation was soon to change, and she said, "yeah, to NH?" I replied with a yeah, and the official move will happen as soon as I have a job up there, she was cool with it, and wished me luck. I made it clear that I was committing myself for the rest of the season, and who knows, maybe the following seasons, for comps only. Amy was glad, and didn't want to put me out, so she said, let's see how it works out to have you travel all that way. At this point I got the hint that She knows that I'd be moving in with Shawn. As we walked back to the group, I said thanks for scaring the shit out of me on youtube. She winked and said no problem. I guess I will take it that she is ok with me being gay. Score one for the home team.

I'm basically brain dead right now, and it's all I can do to write this, and edit vids. Catch ya later.
