I was like, MOM I WILL SERENADE YOU and she was like, MAKE ME HOT CHOCOLATE THEN SERENADE ME. I did Imagine and Something and I Wanna Hold Your Hand for her (last night, over Skype, I did It Don't Come Easy and Liverpool 8 and other random songs for Heather) and besides the fact I suddenly got very nervous, singing-wise (which is weird because I will sing anything anywhere and anytime. we were leaving McDonald's yesterday and I was singing HEY JUUDE DON'T MAKE IT BAAD...under the assumption nobody else was around in the parking lot but in fact the McD's guy was right behind us. and today I was talking to H walking to class and we brought up the Lion King and I broke out in song, EVERYONE SAYING DO THIS! and she didn't break out in song with me so I was like, argh hoffman what the hell.) and so I was just mumbling the words and blushing and trying to get my chords right.
So there's a show on in a half hour called How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin on PBS or something. It's got Beatles in the title so I'm for defs watching it.
And try to learn If I Fell on the uke. It's got a lot of tricky chords.
also today was the first meeting of our CHS knitting/crochet club, which actually is overwhelmingly crochet. irks me. I know I started out a crocheter and bitched about knitting but honestly, I think I'm more a knitter now, I haven't used a crochet hook in weeks. Well, wait, I tell a lie. I used to crochet hook to save a dropped stitch while knitting. Yep. Anyway. The german teacher, an English teacher, and the librarian were there- and some little frosh boy who crochets and loom-knits and so I ran off to get H. so I could even out the teacher/student ratio since it was leaning rather annoyingly to the teacher side. it was fun 'cept I'm a doofus and forgot my goshdarn yarn so I just sat there and was like, yes I knit I just...forgot my stuff.
and I finished another ipod sock (did I mention I made on, yes, no? i did. i made another.) and I made one for H., too, since she asked and needs ones. it's like a little pocket with a button, the button is a robot. like mine, my first one had a button-robot. robot-button. hnn.
mhmm I have Cheezits party mix which is like cheezit chex mix so ti's pretty awesome. and dr pepper. and a ukulele and yarn and i am in general, pretty content except I have to go to school tomorrow. ergh. also I am getting sick. with the cold or something.
I totally half-assed my way through an English test today. it was a strange feeling. mhm. is beowulf a static or dynamic character? mhm as you can see from this here quote he does not change at all tha end.
I've looked at my priorities in life lately and here's what I've found:
1. music.
- The Beatles. this includes but is not limited to: George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Sean Lennon, Julian Lennon, Dhani Harrison, whatever band Zak Starkey is in lately (the Who, I think)
- other music: the Who, Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Bowling for Soup, etc.
So those are the main two things that are keeping me alive, lately. Like I'll be having a hell of a time in school or just a terrible day and then I'll think, oh. Paul McCartney exists. I'm alright. Or I'm so dead tired I just want to pass out in bed but I'll go I should try and learn the beginning bit for Imagine spot on...
Also, knitting and yarn and all that.
Today I said to my mom, "Mom, I should tell you that when I'm not in school, I'm the happiest I've ever been." I really hate school. It's soul-numbing and oppresive and evil and fuck the man, dude. christ. I hate just writing about it, it makes me sad...
okay, back to my uke and then watching that Beatles thing. :D
sidenote: singing Liverpool 8, it's hard not to burst out laughing at the really cheesy lyrics. but i love Ringo.
