I've been playing since Jan. '05. I got a red Fender Srat for Christmas just before then, and then a year after I got my Fender, I got a black Ibanez. I call it 'Oblivion', 'Boukyaku' (how I got my username) and 'Kuuie' (I go back and forth between the 3 ^^). I was in a summer camp thing last year and I played in a band. I hated pretty much everyone in the band, though LOL At least I have a DVD I can watch and laugh at!
