I hate conducting

So I'm updating merely because MB Finger gets on my arse when I don't!

My voice is almost entirely back, hooray! I sort of sang today and I kinda sounded like a man. Well, a girly man.

I just don't know what else to say, haha, what a pointless entry. sorry.

so what, so I've got a smile on

Well since I can't communicate with people normally, I figured I'd make a nice long journal entry. My throat hurts really really bad and when I speak I sound like an absolute FREEEEAK! I hate it, mostly because I can't stand not being able to talk, but also because I depend on my voice for so much of my work and stuff. How annoying. But I got to listen to Chamber Singers today, and I've never done that before, since I NEVER GET SICK! So that was interesting.

Elf was so freakin cute, everyone needs to see it! It inspired me to download and listen to tons of Christmas music...I love the holidays. And Will Ferrell. As seen below.

haha these journal things are really stupid, because there's always stuff that you want to write about, but then people will read it and call you a drama queen, or get all concerned and want to talk about it, or get mad, or whatever...I guess it's good I have an actual paperbound journal to that in. It would be nice to do it here. It's not like my feelings are exactly secret. Oh well. One of the joys of modern technology.

I just can't wait for this ridiculous semester to be over. I feel like there's so much more left of it and that it's just not gonna get any more enjoyable. I did take this email quiz the other day and it was nice, and while I don't usually put any thought into email quizzes, I'm hoping this one was right. Let's see what it said...

If your intial is from L-R You try to enjoy your life to the maximum & your love life is soon to blossom.
If you were born in: Jan-Mar: The year will go very well for you and you will discover that you fall in love with someone totally unexpected.
If you chose: Black: Your life will take on a different direction, it will seem hard at the time but will be the best thing for you, and you will be glad for the change.


Anyways, here's hoping for some good stuff to come my way. Seriously, I think I deserve something. Not that I have a terrible life AT ALL...But I wouldn't mind being swept off my feet sometime...it would be so nice.

Now I have to go to some random school with Mary Beth "Pantsy McPansington" Finger. BYE!!

Some of my favorite men. I love them for many reasons...their good looks, the music they sing, their uncanny ability to shoot arrows, the way they prance through the North Pole in yellow tights...ahhhhh... Just thought I'd share them with you.

Had a nice weekend at home. Everyone go see Elf. More lataaaaa....bye. I hate not having my voice.

there's a moooose on the looooose!!!

I started this and then I accidentally closed it. How annoying!

Why is 'The Way You Look Tonight' such a fantastic song? I mean I don't think I could ever hear it without smiling and dancing like a fool.

Speaking of dancing like a fool, tomorrow I'm teaching REAL children. Like not college students pretending to be elementary students. I'm teaching them the MOOOSE song, and we're gonna dance and play instruments to random songs from Stomp. It's so cute...I hope it goes okay

Do you believe that things happen for a reason? I never really cared about it until a few summers ago, but I've come to realize that it's true...Some awful things have happened to me, and at the time of course I was disappointed, upset, whatever. But in the long run, things come together and make sense, and I realize that it worked out for the best. Things really do work out, I believe...maybe it's just a comfort thing, but it works...it has to, otherwise I'd go insane. And people come into your life for a reason, and some will impact you more than others. I've met so many people but there's only a few that I've ever really opened up to and let them be close to me. Sometimes I don't even understand why I'm so attached to these people, but there's something there and it's wonderful and there's nothing that can replace it or take it away from me. There's nothing like having entire conversations where you do nothing but laugh and read each other's minds the entire time...I love nothing more than saying the smallest amount of words possible and still be completely understood...you just can't have that kind of connection with everyone, and I cherish those times. awwww MK is getting all corny! seriously...I am one of the luckiest people ever, and I forget that sometimes.

These last couple days have just been ridiculous...this whole semester has been so emotionally draining, and I have a feeling that more crapiness is gonna be thrown my way...and that's just how it's gonna be and I need to deal with that, haha.......can't wait.

To end this interesting journal, I'm gonna put in some pictures of a few these wonderful people that I'm talking about (there's not pics of everyone but be patient!), and then I'm gonna go to bed and let Harry sing me to sleep so I can get up and be the greatest teacher on Earth.

BOOB!

Look at the penguins! :) Just an experiment into using these images in the journal entries.
So my life has been interesting lately but nothing terribly dramatic. I went wine tasting today for the first time, and my roomie and I picked up a bottle for the room. Mmmm. Tonight I watched Shakespeare in Love and my friends and I had a giant massage party. Pornographic sounding, eh?? Tomorrow the lovely Fredonia Chamber Singers will be performing in Rochacha at some college choir get together. hooray!
I feel really bad that I haven't been home in awhile. Well I'll probably be home this Wednesday night because I have an eye doctor's appointment on Thursday morning. Still not sure how I'm actually getting there but I'm sure something will work out. Mike, Jill, Beast, Yo I can't wait to see youy guys when I come home next. To the Kenmore crew that's not home all the time....I MISS YOU!!!! COME BACK!!!!
I'm going to see Harry Connick Jr in December at Shea's and we got some great seats so I can't wait. It's the last day of finals week too, that'll be a nice way to end it.
Ok well I'm gonna go to bed. Thanks for reading =o)

flyyy me to the moon

welp I really need to start going to bed earlier but it's not even 2! Of course I'm not tired. I'm currently addicted to Webshots.com. I reached my daily download limit of 5 per day. Isn't that upsetting????? I wish I cared enough to get the Webshots Unlimited. My life is seriously so not interesting, I feel bad that people actually take time to read this, but thanks! The lovely Diana Krall just popped up on my buddy list. I'm glad for my new-found jazz discovery. Have you tried some jazz lately? Rememeber when we were all at Mike's for the first dinner party and Teres was like obsessed with listening to jazz on 88.7? GO BEAST!!!!


What to say.......hmmmmm...I haven't been home much this year and it is strange. Like I've probably been home three times, and I'm probably only gonna go home like two more times until Christmas. I feel like I have a concert every weekend. The life of a muuuusic major.

My roommate just walked in and I'm sitting here in my underwear. I love that I completely disregard the fact that one of the walls of my room is completely consumed by a window. Who doesn't walk around in their underwear whenever possible?!


I listened to the new John Mayer cd a little. Has anyone else heard it? I liked the first couple tracks, they were really mellow. The first album has such good songs on it, I hope this one is just as good.

I think this year I want to get like really good at singing. I think my last couple lessons have been good and my practicing has been going well. I know I am decent, but I feel like I would like to just be better and have more people aware of that fact. I feel like just because I'm not in an opera or taking Vocal Ped or whatever that I'm not really anything special. Maybe I'm not, haha, but I want to make more of an effort this year to be better than before. So everyone, WATCH OUT FOR THE DIVA! hahaha...definitely not. I seriously don't even think I could even pretend to be a diva. What a ridiculous thing to do. I just want to be the greatest singer on Earth. Is that so hard?

The Swingle Singers was so fun. I can't get over it. I want to sing with them again! DPL gave us the music that includes the part that they sang, which is sooo hard. They do like all the instrumental and percussion things with their voices. We're NEVER going to be nearly as good as them but it'll be fun to at least try. I love getting new music to learn.

Ok I'm going to put on my "slow jams" list and try to fall asleep. I love muuuuuusic. "more than woooooooooords is all you have to dooooooo to make it real then you wouldn't have to say that you loooooove me cuz III'd alreeeeeady know..." yes that song just came on. I always think of Jill and Teres when I hear this song (not my lesbianic tendencies, but because of their Europe trip) =P ok NIGHT!!

i'll be there for youuuu

first of all could jill and mike's entries be funnier? i just can't top that! you guys are hyterical. jesse i'm honored that you enjoy reading our journals! everyone else should follow in your lead. well except the people who i want to talk about in here, heh ehehhhhhhhhhh....


So as you can read in Mike's journal entry, we had a good time this weekend. mmmm the swingle singers rock my world! they are coming back in february, well to Geneva. I can't wait. FIELD TRIP. The rest of my weekend pretty much consisted of planning my listening lesson for my Elementary Methods class. I seriously worked on the thing for like 12 hours straight, maybe stopping for an hour and a half to eat and stuff. I think it will be worth it fo rmy grade and everything. It was a fun lesson, the "kids" seemed to enjoy it. oops pat is calling me and gonna yell so i'll update more later.

it's 3 am i must be lonely...or insane

it's Wednesday night, yes, a SCHOOL night and I am wide awake at 20 to 3. I guess there have been a zillion and one things on my mind lately and I think they are all flooding out at once. some things on my mind include...


1. my listening lesson for Monday's Methods class. I really remember listening lessons being so boring when I was in school, and I refuse to be boring, haha...it's gonna be interesting!!!!! maybe some yoga mixed with a little Harry Connick and Jimmy Eat world. does it get better than that????

2. this amazing cd i just put together of some original MK music. just ask for a listen. I should really go into composition. heheheh

3. "loooooooove!" (or lack thereof)

4. Lauren, of course...I've had some really great times with some people lately that have been very therapeutic and I thank everyone for that. I miss her so much. It's been so amazing, the outpouring of emotion I've seen from people who barely even knew her, and who just heard about her from other people. That's how great she was...we love you so much.

5. I have to sing this really sexist song tomorrow. I'm this girl singing about how wonderful and noble this man is, and I'm such a lowly maiden, he will never know me, but I will always be blissful just knowing how wonderful and strong he is, even if my heart breaks, who cares? .......blahblahblah. Pathetic, eh??? I mean I know what admiring someone is like but to just back off and give up...HELLO!!!!!! it's the nineties! Well ya know, close enough.

6. Mike is coming to Fredonia and meeting me in the amphitheater on Friday afternoon. So random! But so fun = ) I have a concert that night with the Swingle Singers, WOOO BIG DEAL STUFF!! Tickets are expensive, so thanks for going, whomever goes! My parentals are coming to see it too, they're so cute! They're here so often, haha. :0)




Nothing else that's major. I miss everyone from home. JEN I LOVE YOU and you-know-who is a moron!!!!! MORON I SAY!!!!!! He is blowing such an opportunity! UGH! I love Pat for installing this MusicNow thing on my computer. thanks =) I love Chris and Lindsay for providing me with new music to listen to. I love penguins for merely existing. I love many others for things too but I don't want to get into that cuz it's late, although frankly, I'm not tired anyway! I love About a Boy, what a great movie. Brad is sitting NDA and not talking to me, who does that????? Ok maybe I'll go to sleep now? maybe I stop for blood analysis? goodnight! Jill update your journal!
