Sweet Relaxation

I'm off until Tuesday and loving it! I plan to clean the clothes monster I call my room, and have some fun with the siblings. Tonight we venture back to the Den. My brother, sister, and myself planning to perform for the open mic. I'm completely nervous, but I think it'd be good for me to get up on stage to play the piano. I don't usually like playing for people, but I've done a cover of a cover of Radiohead's "No Surprises." Regina Spektor covered it, and loving her as I do, I've decided to base my cover off of hers. Sounds lame...but it's goood. :) The next time I go back to the Den I'll be with my jam buddy Jasmin who I've been covering Tegan and Sara with lately. We went and practiced on the Green Belt and it was amazing. We already have a fan! She was a very friendly girl names Catalina who stopped on her bike ride to "sit-in" on our session. With that feeling of awesome, Jasmin and I plan to take a week of rehearsal starting Monday night, and then hit up the Den the following Thursday. I'm actually really excited for that one, we've got "Living Room" in  our back pockets and keep chugging through the ones Jasmin can get down on guitar. With all this glorious music, trendy locations, and my birthday coming up in a couple weeks, I've admittedly put school on the...lower heat burner. I haven't completely dismissed it, but I cannot focus when I'm so close to legality and graduation. Everything around me is starting to become so appealing and it calls calls calls. I'm surrounded by adolescence contemplating which $50,000 college to go to, which internship to apply for, and which dorm buddy to request. All the while, I have been worried thinking I could never do that, and now I'm realizing that all I want is to experience life. I want to go to places with lights in the trees, drive down a winding road to a creek, fly to a different city and back. All of these things seem so much more embracing. Yes, I'm going to college, but now I realize that as long as I get to really experience life I don't need to go somewhere prestigious or well-known. I'm beginning to see the light in everything, people are beginning to see me as I am, and I'm beginning to change my state of mind.Love.
