05:26 pm - ::deep breath:: Right now, I feel incredibly confused by everything. I'm not sure why, but I feel like I can never focus on anything, that I'm all over the place. I've never had an issue with paying attention, and right now, I find myself in class, staring off into space and having no idea what the shit is going on. I'm taking 20 hours this semester...I really can't afford not to be able to focus. Advice, anyone?

11:31 am - well, hello again Well, then. It's 2008. I'm not really sure why I'm posting, actually. I haven't posted in about three months, mostly because I'm living in a house with no internet, and I just don't ever feel like blogging in a library (which is, actually, what I'm doing right now). However, I do now have a computer that is wireless capable, so I might actually post more often. Still, I imagine this is going to be more for my than anyone else - I'm no good at keeping journals, so at least, perhaps, I can get better at documenting things online. Otherwise, nothing particularly special has happened in my life. Lots of boy drama (which is something I tend to attract anyway, so nothing new). I'll be glad to start school in a few week...life is getting a little boring. So that's it for now. Happy new year, all. :) Current Location: library Current Mood: content Current Music: system of a down, "mind"

05:19 pm - my boyfriend says my hair smells pretty [for lack of a better heading] So...I really haven't posted in a while... And I'm not really in the mood to type out a long post right now, so I'll just affirm that I'm still alive, etc., and post more later. Yeah, that's pretty much it for now. :) Current Location: library Current Mood: hungry

10:23 pm - "that's what god made sailors for!" I had the most Bohemian-tastic day on Friday: -took my boyfriend and my friends Sam and Christina to a cool used book store in Maryville -ate Chinese food from a tiny, tiny restaurant owned by an awesome couple, the food from which was both cheap and excellent (also, the egg rolls were the size of Rhode Island) -got all dressed up and went to see Rasputina in Knoxville; they were amazing (again), and the girl who opened for them had an incredible voice (she sang Kurt Weil and Edith Piaf, so she had my heart stolen from the very beginning) So, yeah, good weekend. Well, Friday, anyway. Today I had to work, and I hate my job. I am a hostess at Outback Steakhouse (or, as my friend Ryan has taken to calling it, Backdoor Slavehouse...think about the implication, if you will). I roll silverware. Lots and lots of silverware...I don't know how long I'm actually going to stay there, but for now I'm making a little bit of money. I'm ready for school to start again. Current Mood: tired Current Music: modest mouse stuck in my head

07:43 pm - the Bonnapost I am sunburned and tired. My lungs are full of dust. I walked at least three miles a day for three days, at least two of those miles in the (nearly) noon-day sun. I had a fantastic weekend. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I went to Bonnaroo. (For those of you unfamiliar with Bonnaroo, it is a three day music and arts festival in BFE, Tennessee.) This was my second Bonn experience, so I was a little bit more prepared for the intense heat and massive crowds than I was last year, so the experience was more favourable this time. I was there with a cool group of people (though I was the only female in group of seven males...), and I saw some fantastic bands: *Tool *The Decemberists *Damien Rice! (I melted during that show, and not just from the heat of the sun) *The White Stripes *Feist *Gogol Bordello, an awesome gypsy-punk band *Regina Spektor (who is too adorable for her own good) *John Butler Trio! *Rocco Deluca *Haale (an Iranian-American singer - awesome Middle East-influenced rock) *Franz Ferdinand! ...and other, less well-known bands that were equally as great. So now I get to recover from my exploits and begin the quest to become gainfully employed. I turned in five job applications today, so maybe someone will hire me and give me money. ::crosses fingers:: Anyway, that's it. :) Current Mood: hot Tags: bonnaroo

08:52 pm - "why don't presidents fight the war? / why do they always send the poor?" Okay, so I'm still alive and everything. I just don't have internet at my house, so I have to steal it from other people (chiefly Cole...). So, basically, I've been doing very little in Clarksville. I went to SAYMA, which was pretty awesome...got to see some people I hadn't seen in a year or, in a few cases, two. I really enjoyed spending time outside and having time to really think about things. I didn't sign up for any worship sharing or workshops, so I ended up having quite a bit of time to myself, especially on Saturday. Sitting outside under a tree really did more for me than sitting inside and trying to come up with an answer to a query. Don't get my wrong, I still get a good deal out of worship sharing, but it was really nice to stop doing things and just EXIST for a while. Made my realize that I really ought to do that more often. That's pretty much it. Except for Bonnaroo, which starts Thursday. I really hope my ticket shows up soon - I sent in my change of address card last week, so I really hope that it's on its way, and the postal service is just being a little slow about it. Seriously, I'm really going to start freaking out if it doesn't show up tomorrow... Anyway, I'm off. :) Current Location: cole's/james'/al's apartment Current Mood: hungry Current Music: a medley of "Mezmerize" by System of a Down

06:42 pm - so... ...I just watched "Donnie Darko," and I can't help but get the feeling that I missed something. It was good, and I liked it quite a bit, but...is it one of those movies one has to watch more than once to fully appreciate? Also, I'm bored as hell and have, really, no qualms about leaving early to go back to Clarksville (early being Tuesday as opposed to Friday). :) Current Mood: i has a headache Current Music: "mad world" - the red paintings' version Tags: summer

03:48 pm - "school's out for the summer" Well, I'm back in Maryville for...well, the next two days, at least. I have moved to Clarksville for the summer (and for the rest of my college career, I imagine), but I'll be back for about two weeks some time in May. I may actually update with something more meaningful later...not so much in the mood right now. Suffice it to say that I passed all my classes and am still not completely sick of music...yet... Anyway, that's it for now. :) Current Mood: i sniffle...

07:58 am - ::falls over:: And the analysis is done. I don't feel quite as relieved as I should, because I don't think the paper is as good as it could be, but I'm fairly certain it's good enough to get me a B, so I'm okay. I'm just happy it's finished. Now it's spring break (in a few hours, anyway), and I'm off to Seattle for a week of good coffee and artsy people and my sister and NOT BEING IN SCHOOL. ::grin:: And, of course, I still have to pack. Eventually I'll learn not to procrastinate. Eventually...maybe tomorrow. Heh. Okay, I'm off. Current Location: dorm room Current Mood: relieved Current Music: Beethoven's cello sonata in F major

12:32 pm - oh Beethoven, why you hurt me so? This sonata analysis paper is really kicking my ass. Why oh why did I become a music major? ::sigh:: However, we have only two more days until spring break, and then I am Seattle bound! Woo!! Okay, more paper writing and sonata analyzing. Boo. Hiss. Alas, alack. Etc. Current Mood: sleepy Current Music: the decembrists

05:01 pm I almost don't want classes to start tomorrow. I'm really enjoying just being here on campus without having any actual responsibilities...still, I think it will be good for me to get back into music. On a completely unrelated note, it should really snow... Current Location: dorm room Current Mood: not sure... Current Music: rasputina, "hunter's kiss"

December 9th, 2006

01:15 pm - a reflection ...At first, I thought being trapped in a car with my father for the greater part of three days would be a hellish experience to top no other and being dragged from college to college and telling deans of admission about my high school experiences might be more than I could bear. I must admit, now that I'm at home, I feel a sense of accomplishment, of belonging, somehow. I belong in college. The freedom, the responsibility, the chance to explore who I am, who I want to be, to be mingled with people I never would have met otherwise is something I want to experience as quickly as possible. I also know that, no matter what anyone says (or implies, as the case usually is), I must major in voice. Being in the theatre at Earlham, being in the basement of the music college at the University of Kentucky, brought back a flood of childhood memories. I was suddenly backstage at the Metropolitan Opera house in NY, in the dressing room with my mother, sitting on the wood floor of the rehearsal stage in Arizona while my father worked on carefully choreographed fencing scene from one of the "Ring Cycle" operas. I remembered the walkway behind the Met that led to the dressing room area; the paintings on the walls, all depictions of opera roles, used to terrify me as a child. I remember my mother being made up as a mermaid for one of the "Ring" operas and that the make-up artist used paint and sequins to put a few "scales" on my tiny hand... I wrote this two years ago after a series of college visits. I had, in fact, almost fogotten that I had written it. After reading it again, I realize how much I take things for granted. Most of the time, I can't seem to see the big picture; all I see is the theory exam I have to write and the finals I have to take and the juries for which I have to prepare. The last time I got one of those "feelings" was during the performance of "Gianni Schicchi" last sememster. I dearly wish I could feel that way more often - it would make all this fucking work worthwhile. Oh well. Back to work. Current Mood: discontent Current Music: mars volta
