Best I ever had - Vertical Horizon

I love that song, it makes me so bittersweet-ly happy. Plus, it's very fun to sing.

I realised recently that my first crush on a famous person was on Cat Stevens. Not JTT or Devon Sawa or Taylor Hanson, who were among ones I later fancied, but an old, creepy singer (with an admittedly gorgeous voice) who later changed his name to Yusuf Islam. Wtf? This was somewhere in the ages between 6 and 10. I used to listen to "Wild World" and imagine he and his band walking down my giant staircase singing to me.
What makes the creepiness of me even more vivid is the songs I chose as my particular favorites. They of course included such nice ones as "Wild World" and "Moonshadow," but they also include two songs, called "Lady D'Arbanville" and "Sad Lisa." The former is a man trying to wake up his lover who has died in her bed. The latter is more cryptic, yet I believe it's about depression, and Lisa is an animorphication of the emotion inside him.
I was a CREEPY child. Ah well, the liking of Cat Stevens is a foreshadowing of the love I have for old actors like Ben Kingsley and Alan Rickman over Orlando Bloom or Keanu Reeves. Uuughh... Gross.

We're graduating tomorrow. Woopdeedoo. But I'm looking forward to dry grad. And singing. I have a pretty dress to wear now.
I get to go to Victoria on Sunday! Yay. I'm visiting my sister. I'm not much looking forward to the bus ride with no means of playing music. And singing aloud is generally less appreciated on a closed bus.. which is bunk.. oh well, I'll just have to read and draw. Maybe I'll get pretty far into The Red Tent. That would be uber-neat.

You guys have to check out the painting I made! It's the prettiest I've ever made on this site, it's of a fairy. Just click the link over there ----> entitled "Pretty Picture I Drew!".. or something along those lines.
I don't have much else to say at this moment. Happy happy joy joy!

Lurves.

I liked the pictures. I thought it looked better without the color though. But I almost always think black and white things look better. but you definetly captured that fey of yours.
Woohoo you grad tonight, then your no longer in high school. Can't call yourself a student anymore.
Can't you have a cd player on a bus? That would make no sense if you weren't allowed.
