Sometimes I feel like a bunch of people all crammed into one body...like I have completely different consciousnesses crammed into one mind. I thought I was all over this bullshit, but I don't think I am yet; I really don't think I'll ever be 100%. All I can really do is just live with it, I suppose.
Enough on that.
Erin and I will be moving this weekend; my brother is going to come up on Friday, help us move on Saturday and we're going to hang out on Sunday. We may go to San Marcos (swimming in the river) or watch movies or something. I really like spending time with my brother these days (whereas it used to piss me off to no end). I think a lot of it is the fact that we've both grown up and really grown into our own skin. When we lived with my parents, they sort of expected us to both be the same...have the same interests, get the same grades, etc....only, they wanted the better of the two. My interests were always a bit more ridiculous, so they tended to want me to do the stuff my brother did; his grades weren't as good as mine, so they expected him to improve that.
As far as moving is going, Erin has packed lots of stuff. I really haven't helped all that much D: She likes packing, though...I really think she likes to take inventory of our belongings and packing is a really good way to do that. I'll probably pack most of my stuff tonight or tomorrow night. Honestly, I don't have lots of things that aren't already in boxes; it's just going to be a matter of taking those boxes and putting them into bigger boxes. We're going to need some furniture, though. Mostly desks and shit. I need a big folding desk so I can get it up the goddamned spiral staircase. Getting the drums up that staircase is going to be the worst part of it all, I'm afraid.
Kerstan also has a show on Saturday. I hope it goes well. He really puts a lot of effort and time into his music; but he's also sometimes prone to messing up his first shows and performances. If it goes well, that'll serve as a bit of a springboard for our band in getting shows (and also boost confidence).
I'm picking up hobbies left and right...maybe trying to find a way to not think about some stuff...partly because I have the time. I've bound a couple books (that I'm using as planner-type things...for notes and stuff), I've wound a pickup for my acoustic guitar, I'm designing what may be a really sweet keyboard (musical type thing)...in addition to all the other stuff I have been getting into. I really like pickup winding...it's not that expensive (about $10 per pickup), and they don't sound half bad. If I get a decent set-up, I'm confident I could make some really nice sounding stuff.

I don't know how fancy of a desk (or what type) you're looking for, but the ones at IKEA and Target for example are reasonably priced and do not come assembled so they would fit upstairs to be assembled. Of course when it's time to take the down the stairs, who knows.
I found one that should be perfect for 40 bucks at Sam's...just a folding plastic table...hopefully it's not too long for the spot I'm hoping to put it. If it is, I'm back to square one...
However, the appearance isn't really that important...I'm going to be doing soldering/God knows what else on the table.
