Won't let it get away

It was just two days ago when I realized we were already three weeks into summer break. It was two days ago when I was sad, because I could already imagine the next several weeks going by in a blink of an eye.

Since those past two days however, I have thoroughly enjoyed being with my family, helping around the house, and beginning the production of Stay Strong.

I can say that (so far) I've been savoring summer, and I intend to continue doing this until it's final dying breath.

I won't let it get away from me.

Now, this is the summer I know and love.

Now, this is the summer I know and love.

Heading out to festival gigs and catching up with familiar faces.

Laughing and joking with friends and family over dinner.

Playing basketball and badminton (i.e. the BEST SPORT EVER) 'till our hearts content, and running through someone else's sprinkler because it's just that hot out.

Yeah... I could get used to this (:

Summer greetings- checking in.

Hey (:

I know it's been a while, but this summer has been going quite... unusual.

It's been quiet- if you have any idea what I mean by that. I mean... it doesn't exactly feel like summer- or at least, not like any summer I've experienced before.

Maybe it's just me. The one who's quiet and unusual.

It's a possibility.

One certain highlight (no matter how pathetic this might sound) was seeing Eclipse. :] I've already seen it twice- and if I get pressured into it enough- three times including tonight. =P

It was WONDERFUL! The best of the three movies in my opinion. I went to the triple feature midnight showing with my like-minded crazy, hardcore Twilight friends and like the time before, waited for five hours on the this time hot cement, playing cards and drinking lots of Starbucks. From that, I've acquired a new taste for coffee. I like it now. :]

This is both a good and bad thing. =P

Another good and bad thing is Victoria's latest weather patterns. It's finally hot out. This is good in the sense that we are free to go to the river and lake- it's now suitable for swimming. But what's bad is it's not so great for staying inside beside a hot working computer- recording for me, I mean. Perhaps I'll invest in a small air conditioner for my space, but during important recordings, it can't be on. It'll show up too obviously.

*sigh*

I think I will get me one of those though. Sounds like a sane investment.

I have some gigs coming up, if that's the kind of stuff you're interested in. I also have an interview for one of them. That one being the Organic Islands Festival, which I haven't been to for... two years now? I played once before- my first time busking- and also on the main stage, when I was fourteen. One of my first experiences performing most likely.

It should be fun. I am quite the hippy... or at least I've been told.

If you're interested in coming out to that (which is this Saturday), or any other events I'll be playing at, visit the news page on my website HERE.

Well, I better get to practicing and preparing my set list!

Talk to you soon (I PROMISE)

Speaking of life...

I've made summer official by wearing a dress and recycling all of my old schoolwork.

:)

Life's good.

Speaking of life, here's a new song I wrote about it...

:]

"My Life Begins Now" (WORKING TITLE)

To feel alive is like a song

Things change as it moves along

I knew you once, oh I knew you well but that's not enough

Cause things change, they rearrange, I know it's tough

When you feel like caving in, don't

And when you feel like its too much, I won't let you down

Where are you?

You're some place new

I'm not used to

But that's what life's all about

and I think I'm ready, I think I'm ready to let it out

My life begins now

To be in touch is like a guitar

Hold the strings, play new things and make your mark

Lyrics take what we mean to say and make them real

So I sing to you and hope that it makes you feel

If you feel like you're alone, you're not

And if you feel like giving up, I've got your back

Where are you?

You're some place new

I'm not used to

But that's what life's all about

and I think I'm ready, I think I'm ready to let it out

My life begins now

I'll give it all I've got

and I just might make it to the top

Won't you give it all you've got

and join me

This could turn out to mean a lot

It's the simple things that make life worth living

We never know till we try

so try me

Where are you?

You're some place new

I'm not used to

But that's what life's all about

and I think I'm ready, I think I'm ready to let it out

My life begins now...

My life begins now

..............

What do you think it should be called?

Comment it!

What You're Looking For (WORKING TITLE)

Hello little friend :)

I know I haven't posted in... almost a month, but here I am, making an appearance.

It's really about time.

I don't want to get into too much, cause then I know I'll probably end up loosing my focus and not posting at all- I've done that many times before. So I'm just going to keep it simple and to the point.

Point number one being, it's now summer. :)

You can read my Online Journal entry I posted this morning about that here.

Moving along briskly, point number two is that I've been writing a lot of songs lately. I've added about five to my official song list, and the number keeps growing.

It's fun.

I wanted to post the lyrics to one of my latest creations- keep in mind it's unfinished and untitled. That being said, if you have some ideas for the title I'd love to hear 'em.

For now it'll go by...

What You're Looking For

(WORKING TITLE)

I wanna find

a certain piece of mind

where I can start over new

I would like to grow

across your window

where I can see you too

I just wanna break free

and run farther then I ever have before

Would you accompany me

and turn this moment into something more?

I could be, could be

I could be what you're looking for

If you like the sun

and dream of the only one

then I could be like you

We could get along

and never argue over who is wrong

and always find a way to laugh

I just wanna break free

and run farther then I ever have before

Would you accompany me

and turn this moment into something more?

I could be, could be

I could be what you're looking for

We could be

It could be me

You could see

things so clear suddenly

I just wanna break free

and run farther then I ever have before

Would you accompany me

and turn this moment into something more?

I could be, could be

I could be what you're looking for

..............

And I'll leave it at that.

Type to you soon <3

K

You make me sing.

I'm starting

to believe

there's someone made for me.

Created,

anticipated

in hopes that you agree.

Cause you make me sing*
