another day that I can't find my head
Here's a shoutout to my totally fantastic friend India who turns 17 today! Happy Birthday!


As some of you may know, one of my very eccentric hobbies is associating songs with colors. I have been trying in vain for almost a year to find my one and only purple song (purple is my favorite color). And today, I finally found it: "Feelin' the Same Way" by Norah Jones. I am so excited. It just has a very purple sound to it. Yes, I know. I'm strange.


I discovered that I love spinach artichoke chip dip that Dirk makes. It's surprisingly very good.


You wouldn't believe me if I told you that my birthday was in twelve days!


Dirk has been painting at our house for the past week. I really like the kitchen. Now he's working on the living room. Which means he's had to pull everything away from the wall to start painting, which means I cannot comfortably play the piano until he's done. Bah humbug.


Hopefully today I will go shopping; the intent being to get summer clothes to pack for Hawaii! You don't even know how excited I am. Counting down the days 'till Saturday!


The Awards Ceremony was fun. I got the "Thanks for Keeping us on Pitch" Award. I thought that was amusing. And Nicole got me the greatest present EVER! I love you Nicole!


I should go get ready to go...I have a piano lesson to go to in a little while.


Au revoir!

And how I find my way back in"

Happy early birthday! And I put songs to colors all the time.
And your award was one of the best, I must say.

  • If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber’d here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to ’scape the serpent’s tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends.

  • Say what you mean, mean what you say
    i can stop the pain if i will it all away
    my heart knows me better than i know myself so i'm...
    we could say that forever is more than just a word
    oh no, the bugs are growing faces
    long lost words whisper slowly to me
    don't you worry, there's still time
    everyday i love you more and more
    and there's nothing at all to be done about that!
    everyone knows I'm in over my head, over my head
    so much of me is made of what I learned from you
