The Sayer and the Namer

Self Discovery Through Rock Band 2

I really don't play any console games, with the exception of Mario and Wii Bowling (Morgan, Jessica and I ALL have the sparkly "professional" bowling balls. We're legit.) However, I'm slightly obsessed with Rock Band 2. I never knew how much fun it is! Well, let me rephrase. It's not necessarily the game that I like, it's the SINGING part of the game that I like! It's soooo much fun to get a mic and sing a bunch of rock songs! And, just let me tell you, I'm good at it!
My obsession began one night when Justin and I were bored, so we went to his office to play darts. They have a gameroom with darts, shuffleboard, foosball, and a PS3. When I saw all of the Rock Band instruments, I had to play. I saw the microphone laying on the console, and it called to me. "Erin, you know you want to sing Bon Jovi songs!" I gave it a whirl, and it was so fun! Who knew that I would enjoy it? I love listening to music and singing along (loudly and obnoxiously sometimes...ask my mom about "I Will Always Love You") but the microphone added a whole new fun aspect to it. I would *never* want to perform in front of an actual audience, but it's so much fun to pretend to preform, belt your lungs out, and get scored on it. I tried the drums and the guitar, but nothing beats singing. Allow me to brag for a moment. I scored a 96% on HARD level on an Alanis Morriset song. I was pretty pumped. Get a 96% on a research paper = decent. Get a 96% on Rock Band vocals = Horray! Go figure.
