a lot has happened since april 9th. i've had three or four posts swirling around in my brain since then and i just haven't had the time to write them out, but now i have endless amounts of time and less things to do. so here we are.
my life has been consumed for the past month by this magical experience called 'senior showcase' which was the most bizarre thing i've ever been a part of. everyone has their own [strong] feelings about it. how do i feel? i loved it. i always make wishes at 11:11 and they have this funny tendency to never come true. in the blackout, i wished for the lights to come back on. i've wished for relationships to happen or continue. i've made wishes about my near-immediate future. none of them have ever come true. my 11:11 pm wish last friday was that i would have a fun showcase experience. and i did. i ate lots of good food, saw some great theatre, performed with my friends, and strutted around the city in some trendy heels. there were difficult moments but we got through them. when i look back at this strange week, i hope these moments are what i remember. that and the fact that one of my 11:11 wishes came true.
-bad segue-
the main gist of these mysterious other posts i've been thinking but not writing is this: i am not the same person i was at the beginning of the year, and i couldn't be happier. i'm so glad that the life i was living completely fell apart because it meant that i could put together my own life just the way i wanted it. i have no idea how it all happened but i'm glad it did.
and now, music.
there is something about "white blank page" by mumford & sons that has stuck with me since i heard it on thursday. i really couldn't tell you what it is. still trying to figure it out. it's so simple, beautiful, and haunting.
what's that? you were looking for a great acoustic cover of a song originally done by the cranberries? don't you worry, i have just what you need. "zombie" as covered by jay brannan.
for your walking-down-the-street-and-i-need-to-feel-awesome days, i give you ghostwriter by rjd2. this song is also great for washing dishes or doing something really mundane. especially around 1:33.
peace, love, and music.
