Strangely enough, everything I posted about last time just started happening today. Right now, I'm just hanging in my dorm with two friends, one maybe a little unexpected, with some awesome acoustic stuff being played on my unplugged electric.
A friend came up to get some darts for HvZ, and then he just plopped himself down on my window seat with Béa and we all started talking. Then I realized he hadn't seen Moonlight yet, so I pulled her out, and he asked to play, so I said sure. I guess to get a full grasp on this, you have to realize that he can sometimes be a bit much to hande in anything but small doses. And if you can't get past that, it's hard to realize anything else about him.
See, we've had this love-hate relationship for a while, where he basically opens himself up to teasing, and I jump at every opportunity. Watching him perform at Open Mic though, and listening to him play now, it's actually kind of amazing. He's a really talented guitarist and musician, and when you give him a guitar, he just shuts up and plays the most amazing riffs.
And I have to say, one of the things I envy about him, watching him play now, is that his hands are way bigger than mine, so he gets these amazing spreads across the frets. The one he's playing right now is capo 6, and maybe a 5 fret spread.
Right now, we're all just hanging, soft acoustic in the background, his voice just floating over the strings, all of us just...being here. It's nice. I'm going to make this happen more often.
