i wanted to write something funny, or poignant, but all i could come up with was this message that you and everyone else is now reading... so in that sense, it is funny and poignant because that person will be confused, or angered, which is in of itself slightly funny, and it will leave a mark on somebody at least whilst they are reading this.

If you can remember, I have dial-up at my house, but!! There is a miracle occurring! I am at my friend's house right now, a friend who has high-speed. (Lucky whore.) So! I am listening to Sing Song right now. I am *loving* this song, "Light Bulb".

At least you're still doing something with music though, Simon. Laziness is permitted every now 'n then, didn't you know? (At least. That's how I excuse myself. >.> You can borrow it too. ^^ )

Music for me? It died. But! Oooh but! I think it's starting to pick back up, y'know? And I'm pretty excited about it, to be honest. I have this amazing boyfriend who is so music inclined. I wanna make sweet lov--music with him. We'll see how it goes, eh?

Oh, hey, I like "Big Speeches" too. =^.^= This is awesome, Simon.

Lets just say there was an amusing episode involving some fungi, the VanGogh museum and Amsterdam's Vondelpark, now affectionately termed 'Lemmings in Wonderland'....

I got my Iron and Wine tickets in the post today. Whoop! I likes Sing song reminds me of a mix between Jimmy Cake and Haydens old stuff, I think that's pretty accurate :) Im good, off to Antwerp in a few days to do volunteer work for a couple of weeks. Should be interestin'. You need to come to Rhob's gigs so I can see you more (than the one time we've ever met!) Hope you're well. x

Also I've my final college exam the next day but it does sound like fun, and I've broken promised you one two many times....so eh, I won't promise this time but I'll try, I promise. ('to try'..not 'to go', heehee). I can assure you, some pretty n' legible snaps of you performing will be on there way...even if it's just me stalking you in your bedroom. Mwahaha. x
