I've been listening to Classic Rock 102.9 like all night, waiting for a Beatles song. There's been Bowie and Hendrix and the song I Want You To Want Me (off the top of my head can't think of who sings it but it's a good song) and NOW finally there's Oh Darlin'. Not the best but good McCartney vocals. We were going to Goodwill today and Watching the Wheels came on, and I was like, "Stop. John Lennon." And when we got back in the car after shopping I was like, "omg. MCCARTNEY." and it was Band on the Run. I love it. Srsly. This station makes me want to get one of them radio adaptors for ipods. We were going down to Albertson's and this song was bugging me, the voice was so familiar and I couldn't name it. Finally figured out it was Mick Jagger and sad it took me that long to figure it out.
Gasp! Now Centerfold. Good song.
so yeah, that's what I've been doing all night. Well. I made a pizza. And I've been reading fanfiction. And today at Goodwill I bought two records- Foghat and Black Sabbath. Right, I know. I don't have a record player. But this brings my total number of records up to 4. I have a Bob Dylan one, Nashville Skylines, and I love the album cover, and a Rolling Stones single, I think it's called. The little records. She's So Cold. Yeah. So eventually I'll get a record player. I kind of want a Beatles record. y'know. 'cos.
I had an idea for song today...at like 4 in the morning. Did I mention this? it feels like I wrote this somewhere...huh. Uh. Oh. No, okay. So I took a colored pencil from a shelf and scribbled it down. 'I wanna be your Yoko Ono.' So yeah. I imagine it with electric guitars. But it's not really anything yet...
So I kind of want to work in culinary arts or cooking or pastry chef but what I really really want to do, (Janis Joplin on the radio now. !!) is radio. Like Classic Rock 102.9. Playing awesome music all day and all that. What. Could. be. More. Awesome. NOTHING. BUt if I wanted to do radio work, I'd need serious speech therapy. 'cos I talk badly. Like my R's and my S's and this weird accent thing I do...omg Pink Floyd is playing now. I have a serious love for this radio station. Ahh. 'Money' from Dark Side of the Moon. Holy shit. I want to write a love letter to Classic Rock 102.9 and I really want to work there. Is not likely, is it? What is life without rock 'n roll? Could I do it, I wonder, totally revamp my speech patterns all by myself by, say, next year? It's crazyness. I'd have to completely rewire the way I speak and how I say words...is there a website for this? fuuck. Radio Communications. There are classes for this at community colleges. Which are honestly the only colleges I will be able to get into. Since AJ=terrible student who gave none to little thought about how high school would affect after-high school life. Turns out, a lot. Like. Colleges like it when you have 3 math classes. I'v had three. Just failed one. Aand. They like extra curricular activities. Ah, nope. And money...well, thank God for FAFSA. I...might try to do this speech thing. Uh, google? Any help here? See, I took speech classes from like 1 grade to 6th- every Mon and Wed I'd go to the public school and meet with a speech therapist where I'd learn my R's and S's and another boy would learn his R's. His R's are still terrible. Anyway. After I stopped taking speech classes I completely lost the knack for speaking like a normal person and in fact at one point in middle school there was a running joke that I could not not properly say the word 'kangaroo' and instead would say 'kangawoo'. Not true. Eh. Anyway. According to this one site about kids with speech problems, i have articulation issues. No big surprise. It's sort of weird, isn't it, that other people have apparently no problems saying something like 'car' but I say 'cah'? Or that other people don't have to think about making an rrr sound? Or that I am not quite sure exactly how to make that sound? Yeah I think it is a little weird...
So there's this site for kids' parents to help them. Speech Activies or Something but their little motto or slogan whatever caught me: We help those who need to be understood. That's perfect; exactly what I need. Oh there's a bunch of sites for things like this. maybe I should try these. I think, yeah, I'll try to start speaking better. There must be something wrong with my brain, that I can't properly say things? Grr.
