I hope you enjoy it. I love playing this song, once again I think it sounds better in my head. But, whatcha gunna do?
I registered for school today. I am not looking forward to it but I'm going to try and stay positive. Le sigh. The summer has gone by fast, which is good, but now I have to face this. I didn't want to become this, but here I am.
Random note to self: Never fucking buy waterproof mascara again.
This is one of my favourite songs. Whenever I play a song acoustically I sometime think it and I sound amazing, but it never transfers on camera, and this is one of those times. I don't know if it's me thinking too highly of myself, or the camera, or my fear of cameras. But I don't think it's horrible.
My hair looks so different than yesterday when I shot this video! I didn't take a picture of it normal, but here is one of me and experimenting with it. I like it a lot better shorter and I like being able to do stuff with it.
Embracing the camera
I feel so much more confident with my hair short. I'm not always worried about what it looks like what I'm out. It's just there not doing anything. I love it and I feel fantastic. I wish I did it sooner.
Today was a cover kind of day! I did three, so look for those periodically, or stalk my Youtube to watch or they are already all on here because you're reading this in the future.
Just click the link and go to Youtube. It's so annoying to post videos on here if they are from a different account than the one set up with your blogger. Arg.
Blogger, fix that.
Now.
Anyways, I'm getting a haircut tomorrow! Again... I will post more pictures because I am turning very vain because hell, I like my face and I like to look at it, so sue me.
You want to know something else that's hilarious? I started watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians and I love it. I'm on season four... This is my life.
Last week I made a deal with my cousin that if she did well on this school performance, which involved singing this song, and she wasn't nervous, I would make a cover for her. And so I did. And I sent it to her. And I have not gotten a reply. I don't know what happened. And I'm a little scared. (My cousin is 11 for visual sake.)
But I thought that I would post it here so at least you guys could give it some love. No? Okay.
I did two and I liked the second one better, but for some reason my camera killed it, and when it uploaded it didn't have any sound.So you're stuck with the moderately worse one. Whateves.You can hear some sickness in my voice, but I don't even care.
I also came home today and Photoshopped my heart out! I hope you like the new background. I like it a lot better then the last one.
And final note: HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY POEHLER! As you guys know, I am a huge fan. Parks and Recreation is starting up next Thursday and I am beyond excited. I missed TV so much, even though it never really left.
I know you all missed these. All three of you wonderful people! This song is magical; it is off of All Things Bright And Beautiful. Since that album has come out, I can honestly say I have not listened to anything else on my iPod. At all. True fact.
I thought the song sounded cute on ukulele. So, here you go, a cute song played on a cute instrument, played by a cute person. LOLJK.
I think we can officially dub this shirt my cover shirt.
I also like how this song is supposed to be a duet with a boy and a girl. With my lyric changing skills, I bet you didn't even know.
Now I just want to do a total 180 and talk about something I hate. I hate it when people compare songs to other songs. This song sounds like this song, blah blah. Why can't people just take each song for what is it? It's not like the artist stole the music or anything. It just happens to sound similar. Accept it and move on with your life.
That just really bugs me. Also, how every new, young artist is 'The Next Justin Bieber'. Or, 'The Girl Version of Justin Bieber'. Yes, Justin Bieber is successful. Yes, he is young. Yes, people want to aspire to be like him. Does that mean they are going to overshadow him? Does that mean they are going to do exactly what he does? Does that mean that every artist wants to be just like fucking Justin Bieber? No. No, it does not.
So, there you have it. A cover and a rant. I should start a talk show.
I shot this last week and I don't think I've picked up an instrument since. That's kind of sad. I've been busy though! Hell, who are we kidding, I watched season one of Lost. That is some freaky shit right there. I told myself that I would not watch any Lost today, and I haven't. When I got home I spent a while reading a hundred pages of Bossypants in one sitting. It was awesome.
It's been a weird day. Just different. I had to catch up on all the work I missed on Monday and Tuesday. Turns out it's quite a bit. You're probably like, why didn't you do that yesterday? Well, my chemistry and soc teachers were both substitutes and my history class was cancelled. And I went to English on Tuesday, it was a horrible experience, but at least I don't have to catch up on anything. Except a fucking essay due Tuesday. EVERYTHING IS DUE TUESDAY. Thanks 'long weekend'.
My history class, or ancient civilizations to get fancy, is last period. We have DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) every Thursday in interchangeable periods. It was last period today. So, at the beginning of class we go to the library to work on some project he handed out. "What project?" says Stephanie. So, I ask my teacher and he's all, chill I'll get it for you after. So I chill with my home-girl.
DEAR is for half the period, so when Teacher says, "Kay guys, get to work." I go over to him and he's all like, "One sec, you're impatient today, laugh laugh." And I go, "Yeah, laugh laugh." I did notice he has very cool looking eyes. Weird? Probably.
So, when he gets the sheets printed off he calls me over. I, of course, have to go across the library to get the sheets at the printer. So, I get them and go over to talk to him about what the hell we are even doing. So Teacher says, "Blah blah portfolio, something about mini projects." I'm not excited about this. "Wait, what am I supposed to do now?" I ask. "Well, the class is on the second part." He tells me. "What do I do for the first part?" I still don't understand the project as I'm writing this. "Just ask your pals over there for it, I'm not going to make you do it. It's not like you were out smoking crack." That's my teacher. Because I'm a sarcastic, hilarious person, I answer, "Well..." We both laugh.
Thinking about it now, that probably was weird, or at least very surprising to him. At school, my peers do not perceive me as a hilarious person. I don't do well with social interaction. But, I think I can check that conservation off as successful. Maybe he will tell my other teachers that I'm a closet funny.
Oh yeah, the cover. Funny story about this one. It took forever to take. The best take I had, the camera was pointed at my crotch. Good times. This one I think is rushed, but whatever. It's a good song, so listen to Adam's voice.
Well, this has been long, but fun. That's what she said. I really have to pee. I drink too much iced-tea. Tomorrow it will be gone though, sadface.
No, I'm not taking a trip. I wish that were the case.
This wonderful Thursday I decided to do another ukulele cover because, let's be honest here, Ukulele>Guitar. I chose to do one of my all time favourite songs. Listening to it with just the ukulele makes me realize it's a very troubled and somewhat random song. I suggest you click the title of the song and go listen to it in all it's glory.
It's still Thursday! I'm sorry you had to wait so long for this... *cricket sounds*
This wonderful Thursday I decided to do this song because I like it. I've been listening to Lights lately and I think this is my favourite Lights song. I think it sounds good acoustic, so I owned this cover, like a boss. (See what I did there?)
So, today was just awesome. It had a lot to do from 8-11pm. The Vampire Diaries is kind of stupid though. But I cried during The Office: "Don't leave Michael!". I fell in love during Parks and Recreation: "Ben and Leslie! *heart hands*". And I just died out of sheer joy from one hour 30 Rock! *Walks into living room* "Did you guys hear? ONE HOUR 30 ROCK!" *Walks back into bedroom*.
Though I am 'tired as fuck'. Does anyone else not understand that? How is fuck a comparison word to tired? (Don't answer that perv.) On this happy note, Happy Easter! TTYL BFF'S!
(And for the record, Tina Fey uses the word fuck casually in her book, so I'm going to use it casually here.)
So, today's Thursday! Also known as THE BEST DAY EVER! It is also, of course, the day I bring you a video of me doing my best. I know what you're thinking: That's what she said.
On a serious note, this song is me. It's like someone wrote it for me. It's like someone stuck a straw inside of me an drank my feelings in a totally non-disgusting way!
It's one of those songs that says so much in so little words!
AHAHAHAHA. If anyone knows there this is from, pre-Google, you my friend earn 107 cool points.
I have a cough, so it was making it hard to finish a whole song. I think I made a good choice though.
I also think the batteries in my keyboard are going. This is taking too long to write, some of the keys won't work sometimes.
Anyways, have a wonderful Thursday. If you're ever feeling down, just listen to this nonsense and smile.
It's not because I think I'm an amazing singer or guitarist, I just love to do both, so why the heck not! It will just make me commit to something.
Plus, Thursdays are the best days ever! New The Office, Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock tonight! Just throwing that out there...
