It's nice to have an easy senior schedule. Despite the fact that it's easy, though, I seldom have time to get online between band, work, and my friends.

Even if I did, my writing has all but evaporated. I'm trying to get back into it, but it's hard. That said, as soon as something decent comes out, I'll post.

Thanks to those of you sticking around!

Cradlesong

Busy busy busy.

I've been working 20 hours a week, and I hate it. It's not the hours in and of themselves, it's the fact that it's McDonald's. Constantly busy. If the customers aren't being retarded, the other employees are.

All creative projects have taken an unfortunate backseat. Other than the occasional, random outpour.

See you around.

OK! No more writing journals when I'm cranky.

I managed to write a couple somethings! One is now posted (though it aren't very good). And I've been practicing with Adobe Illustrator. I'm getting better, slowly...and even though it's slow going, I love it. I love learning to use all the tools, despite how frustrating it can get.

On an entirely different note, I have a recent obsession with folky, acoustic music. It's almost all I listen to, with the exception of Rob Thomas' new album Cradlesong. The latter comes very, very highly recommended, by the way.

And my favorite song from Cradlesong is, ironically, the title track. Lyrics:

Everybody's got a different story,
everybody wanna give theirselves away,
but I'm still afraid.

We can stay out of their field of vision
if we can keep ourselves a half a world away.
Oh honey, we'll be OK.

The world can be so cruel,
but I will sing for you
this cradle song
all night long.

Everybody's got their own opinion,
everybody's got a place where they belong,
like a favorite song.

And I don't want to be a faded memory;
I don't want to be the ghost that you can't shake.
I want to be the real thing.

The world can be so cruel,
but I will sing for you
this cradle song
all night long.

Yeah, all night long.
Yeah, all night long.

No one said we were victims, honey.
No one said we had to keep the things we get.
There ain't no regrets.

And all our friends, they moved to Hollywood,
but we ain't that desperate yet.
Oh, no, ain't nothing like the real thing.

The world can be so cruel,
let me sing to you
this cradle song
all night long.

The world can be so cruel,
but I will sing for you
this cradle song
all night long.

This cradle song.
This cradle song.

Yeah, all night long.

Sing it all night long,
yeah, all night long.
Sing it all night long
yeah, yeah, all night long.

Fast Car

  • Listening to: Tracy Chapman
"You got a fast car,
but is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision:
you leave tonight or live and die this way."
-Tracy Chapman

Tracy Chapman is an amazing artist. Her lyrics are so impossibly simple and just as impossibly beautiful. Her voice is so soulful that while listening, I am in an entirely different time and space. She is my new obsession.

She comes highy recommended, regardless of what genre you prefer.

Love Bug

  • Listening to: Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard
  • Reading: Cross Country - James Patterson
"Now I'm speechless; over the edge, I'm just breathless. I never thought I'd catch this love bug again."

Oh, snap. Yes she did just quote the Jonas Brothers.

Haha. It's so amazing to be writing again. I've written about eight new pieces in the past week. Most need further editing but they'll be up when they're ready. I also intend, after editing the new stuff, to try and slip back into writing Phrenocracy. I haven't worked on that in...oh, in ages.

I feel very much as if I've recently come back into my own skin after a long stint floating in the ether. I feel alive and happy. I could dance jigs all day if I thought it would expend some of my new found energy.

Anyway! If you're a reader, look for more in my gallery soon. If you're a friend, thank you for being so. If you're not one of the aforementioned...I hope you are as happy as I am!

Mad World

  • Listening to: Mad World - Alex Parks
  • Reading: Cross Country - James Patterson
Another year of high school down.

I've come to a lot of conclusions recently. About myself, about my relationships, about things in general...some good, others not so much.

I think there's a point in everyone's life when they finally accept things as they are without much argument or objection. I think that I'm at this stage, finally. A brief text conversation I had last night actually helped when I expected it to hurt. But I'm very glad. I didn't like where I was before that conversation, and now I'm ready to move on.

In ther news, I feel like writing again. It's been a long time since I've actually wanted to write. I just posted my newest piece...I hope what readers I have enjoy.

Until next time--
Caiti
