if at all possible,

I'd like my life to have voice-over.
And background music.
ASAP, please and thank you.

If I cannot fly, let me sing.

Tonight, the chirping birds outside my window are

making me smile so big I can't fall asleep.

no, really.

you literally copy everything I do.
does no one else notice this?
every. thing.

note to self

"If your ship doesn't
come in,

then swim
out to it."

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY

at this very moment... 11:56 pm... March 11, 2009...
You'd never guess what I was doing.
Okay, maybe YOU would.

It makes me wanna laugh and it makes me wanna throw up.

OKAY more throw up.

stop ta ta talkin' that blah Blah BLAH

I haven't brushed my hair in 3 days, and i'm loving it.

in other news I'M DYING FOR A POPSICLE.

:) its okay.

With this ring, I thee wed

Weddings literally make me weak in the knees.
I think marriage is one of the most beautiful
and sacred traditions humans have ever practiced.

Will I get married after a week? No.
Am I scared to have my own wedding? Yes. Terrified.
Do I think about my own often? No.

Will I cry through everyone else's like a baby? YES.

and i quote...

"There is a leading lady inside of you"

A dear friend told me this tonight. I haven't smiled so big in a long long time.

Because I know its true, even though I'm bashful when people say it. I know I just need to sing. I don't care where, or when, although I hope i don't have to starve to be a singer. I am willing to live in a tiny apartment. I've always wanted to sleep on a mattress on the floor with my sheet music in piles all around me. I want to make people laugh, I want to make people cry, I want to write songs, I want to write them with other people, I want to make old folks reminisce and I want to make babies stop crying. I want to play my guitar whether I'm the best at it or not, I want to sing jazz, or country, or pop or opera or freaking polka. [not rap, um I'm too white and Ke$ha already took over the increasingly popular talk-sing-I'm-so-hot-and-so-drunk-and-I-never-shower-ever category]

I don't care if I'm the best. I don't care if everyone likes me. I don't care if I'm poor and I don't care if I'm not world famous. I don't care if I'm only a Music Therapist or the next indie sensation or the next Carrie Underwood or just your next door neighbor.

I just need to sing and I need the songs to come from my heart.

Because I have a leading lady inside of me.
