Why Is Everything So Lametarded?
God, my computer sucks ass now. It was being all crazy so we had to clear everything and start again...no Limewire, old-school MSN, slow and crappy internet, boring wallpapers, boring cursor...I had everything just the way I liked it, too. Well, nevermind, I'll just have to start again. Like a Jenga tower. Sigh.
Apart from that, things are great. Today was a lot of fun, and the weekend promises to be enjoyable, if not down right awesome! And I saw a good movie today (The Weather Man) made all the better by seeing it with the best person on the whole damn planet! And then I had the giggles on the way home and we listened to the radio so it would stop.
Well, it's bed time...although I have a late start tomorrow. Ms Halbauer is probably gonna kill me though. I don't really care, mind you.
Gah, so much music to learn before Sunday! When am I gonna have time to sit down and memorize music?!

I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her in God knows when"

Lazy Day
Yep, today was lazy. I had two classes this morning, and spares for the rest of the day, so I decided to come here, to my home, drop off my school stuff, and then go to choir. And the enourmous amounts of fun that await for me afterwards.
I am mixing another CD...it's weird. It's kinda like a Christmas/winter CD, but not necessarily music anyone else would find winter or Christmas-ey. Just music that makes me think of that enjoyable holiday season, and all the snow. Also, it's just music I like.
Eeeew...our mousepad is disgusting...I need to clean it at some point.
I hate math, so much. It makes no fucking sense. And Ms Halbauer is a crazy, crazy lady. Oh well...not long now until I never have to deal with her again.
I had two nightmares last night. Not "nightmares" in the sense of scary, but in the sense of me being very upset and crying a lot, but then I wake up, relieved that it was all just a dream. And they were both sort of related...the first was that for no reason at all, Mom decided we were going to move to that cabin in Montana, which actually does exist. Except in my dream it was a freaking MANSION, and my room was huge and everything. But I could not stop crying. I didn't want to move to Montana, to the states, where things are crazy and I didn't know anybody, and that I was far away from Kevin, and Kari, and everybody I loved. Then I saw them, and tried to tell them goodbye and I loved them, but then they were gone, and it was so depressing that when I woke up in my own bed, in Calgary, surrounded by stuffed animals, I could have sang for joy. But then I fell asleep again and dreamt that instead of my dad moving to Britain, he had moved to Australia, and again, I was very sad because I knew there was no way in hell I'd be able to see him there, which made me cry some more. I don't know why my nightmares are of people moving, but they were very unnerving. Maybe it's just because, selfish as it may seem, I don't want the people I love to leave me. But then again, I'm stupid that way.
Musical Quote of the Day
"This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone
And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said
To you
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to"

Snow Some More
It was so beautiful, last night, the first snowfall of the year. Like there were tiny feathers falling from the sky. I want it to snow more, now that I've had a taste. Let there be a blanket of white to cover us, please!
On a completely different note, there has been a slight change to the concert on Sunday...for one thing, there will be a few songs from the Calgary Children's and Junior Choirs...and Mr Obst will be doing a piano solo (yay), and mean bitchy-stuck-up-Rachel will have a solo (boo), and we aren't singing Frobisher Bay, or Ain-a That Good News, or Jubilate Deo, but we are singing Lord Bless You And Keep You and Wondrous Love instead, so it all workd out. Yay.
Musical Quote of the Day
"The hours go shorter as the days go by
Never get to stop and open our eyes
One minute you're waiting for the sky to fall
And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
This fragrant skin this hair like lace
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste"

Oh, For The Holy Love Of God, What Now?
Honestly, maybe it's just because I am grumpy and tired, but my mother is driving me insane. I mean, moreso than usual, that is. She keeps telling me she wants to talk to me about something, and when I say "well, what about?" (which I think I am entitled to know) she says she'll tell me later, when we're actually talking about it. Augh, that doesn't make any sense! Then just tell me now, you silly woman! That's what I would like to say, but I know I can't. Besides, I know it is related to one of three topics. They are a) my attendance at school. Oh, it's not that bad, I'm passing everything! b) how I "never" do anything in the house. Right, because doing cat litter and dishes everyday is nothing, among other things. Or c) How I am spending a lot of time with Kevin. Because, you know, heaven forbid I actually want to spend time with my boyfriend! And you know what, not that my virginity is any of anyone's business, but I still am a virgin, okay? The fact that I am an adult and I can make up my own mind about sex obviously hasn't occured to my mother.
Maybe it's just because I'm feeling sick today, or because I'm irritated, but I just want to be given some credit, and be trusted to make my own choices.
I'm sorry for the angst, I'm just in a rotten mood. One of those days, I guess.
Musical Quote of the Day
"He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you
And me
Nowhere man
Please listen
You don't know
What you're missing
Nowhere man
The world is at your command"

Repertoire
Well, as some of you know, I am performing for the first time with the two non-school choirs I am in. Some of the music is...well, not bad, but it's rather "churchy" and there is one song that I hate. Hate with a firey passion that consumes my soul. Anyway, here it is, so that you can know what awaits you. Those of you who are coming.
Now, this is not necessarily the order that they will be in, this is just how I have it written down.
1. Harmonika-this song is crazy! During the last rehearsal Ms Strome said "take out Harmonika, everyone!" and I had no idea what she was talking about, and to keep a long story short, I learned an incredibly complex Hebrew song in about thirty seconds.
2. Antonio-This song is cute, and happy, and easy to sing. Thank God.
3. Jubilate Deo-"Yes, this fucking hard Latin song will be fun to sing!" At least that is what I keep telling myself. It has a nice tune though, I like it a lot, it's just really really REALLY hard.
4. UBERLEBENSGROB-That is the title of the song, I kid you not. In capitals and everything. I hate it. So much. It isn't so much a song as a series of noises. Bleagh...
5. Frobisher Bay-We may end up not singing this one, but I really hope we do because it is beautiful. Absolutely heart-breakingly beautiful. If people don't get to hear to Sunday night, I hope they can hear it another time. If it doesn't make you feel sad, then you have no heart. It makes me want to cry everytime we sing it.
6. Ain-a That Good News-a spiritual song, aka "slave music". It's that gospel stuff from the deep south that, even though it's all religiousy, it's fun to sing and to listen to. I dunno. I like it.
7. All Too Soon-I. Love. This. Song. It's amazing. And when you hear it and UBERLEBENSGROB you wouldn't believe it's by the same composer, but it is. It's about how quickly time goes, and the Martimes, and their struggle, and their endurance, and it is just awesome.
Well, I hope you will all enjoy it.
Happy Halloween, by the way. Lady Leopard will now rest for another year. Muahahaha! So much fucking candy!
And now, it's time for the
Musical Quote of the Day
"When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you"

Mmmmm...Spaghetti....
I love spaghetti. It is tasty. And my dad is currently slaving away in the kitchen making a delicious apple crisp, so screw you Evan! I'm sorry, that wasn't very nice of me. Evan, my apologies.
I found Emily's eyebrow ring, the one she loaned to me, and I was most happy, because now I don't have to buy her a replacement one. Phew!
My weekend was most enjoyable, except I feel bad for Evan. Kari, if you are reading this please please PLEASE get in contact with me, there are many important things we need to discuss! And Kevin, thanks for coming over on Friday, and having me over on Saturday, and just generally being great. As for what I wrote on my hand, I'm sorry I wouldn't show you. It will forever remain a mystery. I know, I'm weird. But I wouldn't have it any other way, and I don't think you would either. You're awesome. And now I am all giddy and am going to stop rambling.
Whoa...I found some old drawings of mine...and...whoa...how I have improved...I mean, they're pretty complicated, considering the pictures I found were from ages 13-16, but it's surprising what a few extra years of practice can do. Speaking of which, I am now going to draw some more. And also, time for apple dessertiness.
Musical Quote of the Day (something festive, I think...)

I am the wind blowing through your hair
I am the shadow of the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright"
