every word that is uttered and find a world that normally goes at a million miles an hour
slow to a relaxing canter. "
Hey Megan Been a long time since we talked, I wanted to let you know that I am moving to Newport Beach area just south of where you are in Cali, Rune got a job there and I am moving with him :) I hope I will see you some time in LA. We will be down there end of October begging of November :)
Hey hey hey I would love to call ya some time but I am not sure I have the right # for you. I lost my phone a while back and had to get a new one :) Silly me!

So anytime on Week ends morning ish is ok for me..or Friday the 1st morning. And the rest of the first week of February im on break so anytime is great for me!
heyyy! thanks, it's great to hear from you! xmas was nice. we're almost done mixing our EP (i'll have to send you a copy when it's ready!), and we're doing some ironic r&b covers at a party tonight. it should be pretty fun. i hope things are going well with the bright!
Ah ha! There you are. Happy to know you're putting those pretty pipes of yours to use. Nicole gave me a quick Hook update when I caught her in Madrid.
I'm in Paris, my Sweet! Have been in NYC twice this year along with many other places, including the Emerald City. No Georgie spotting, so I've sent her a cyber tap.
Hi there, Beauty! Saw you online and thought I'd say hello. My dear friend Celia (from Seattle) is moving from NY to Los Angeles, so now I have yet ANOTHER reason to come out there...methinks I'll be seeing some Megan Hook sometime late summer/early fall. woo-hoo! xo
Right now I'm working on some new tunes.
Well, I hope you listened to the old ones. If not, it would be great if you did. Preps you will like some of them :).
