Get up, get out, live it!

The time has come to blog again, to blog of many things.

LJ no longer suits me. Plus it's 5 years old, and I feel like detaching myself from some of that baggage. With a chuckle, of course.

I so haven't written or blogged in such a long time that it feels really awkward, and I don't know who I'm talking to, and I'm judging myself real hard (which needs to stop!!!!), and its getting in the way of things?, and I just need to get my mind thinking in this way again. New York. Spring Break. Tickets Booked. So Excited. The only writing ideas I think about are for my Facebook status! How I hate that Facebook! It's creepier than usual in that it remembers who I've been looking at when I search for people! It's awful. I'm trying to be less negative. I guess a better way to word that is more positive. Whatever. Text messages have me writing in sentence fragments, and i hate it. This blog if for getting my writing muscles flexing again. I've been flexing my music muscles and my reading muscles a lot lately, but something feels missing without the writing. So yah.

I live in the best apartment in the world. My roommates are wonderful. I don't know if I've ever been this comfortable in my life. Sure, money sucks, but who needs it? I have people, and music, and words, and my body, and my health, and all sorts of things to make me feel good and alive. I spelled the word 'flattery' in scrabble the other day. 95 points, bitchez. I love a good board game. 'Ah, Wilderness' was delightful, and it made me remember how much I like plays and theater, and school(?), and stuff. So yeah. I still have a kickass voice. That's nice. In fact, sgreat. Just like Jack. And Jen. And Alex Haney. And Kelsey. And Aubs. And Katelyn. And Mandie. And Jackie. And Ericcc. And always Staci. And always Jack. And Dave Ring.

Its weird looking at my dad's name. It has such a shape about it. It has so much more meaning and depth than other words, and my eyes see it.

I like a lot of music right now, like Nico Muhly, Nancy King, Sarah Vaughan, The Bad Plus, Miles Davis, and Steve Reich are on the short list. I also love Blossom Dearie, Mahler, Messiaen, Liza, Joni, Keely, Nina, and others.
I also love Last.fm, but I realized that they're selling all my statistics, and I don't know if I like that. Still, I love those lists. asldfjh.
I still love musicals too. I just got back into Into the Woods. It means so much more to me now, and its lovely. I've been listening to Patti's Gypsy lately too. I also love A New Brain, Drood, and Hair. But yeah, that's about it. Balls Are Swinging, baby.
I also love banging on the piano. I don't really know how good it is, its just sort of random improvesation, mixed with a little jazz theory. Strange, but I'm getting used to this sort of piano playing, and its fun to me. Music writing still hasn't happened, but I believe it will soon arrive.

I love coffee. And marijuana. Yeah. I'm trying to smell better too. I'm not sure if it's working or not. But seriously, I told myself I'd be in bed early tonight, so I'm going to do it. There is so much more to say!
