Yesterday me and my friend were flicking through tv programmes and we were drawn to one of the shopping channels. The first thing we heard the seller woman say was "I'm getting quite emotional today, what with first the hair removal kit..." We burst into hysterics and spent the remainder of the afternoon watching the same woman trying to sell a paintballing day out. Wow.

I remember when I met the miss, she wanted part of the sheet music to Overture tatooed, but when she met him he said he'd verify if it's right later--but never did. It would have been wonderful, but that result with the banner worked out veryvery well.
Verocs, much better picks than mine! (I just did it off the top of my head. Fail.)

The main thing that didn't make my day: My psyche is cracking to pieces.
But also: -My speech difficulties are getting worse. A year ago I began to have problems. I'm really worried. -A class is torturing me. I want to withdraw. -I ate hot food and the top of my mouth is peeling. -My face hurts. Once more. It looks like I have a rash on my cheek.
Sorry for complaining.

“If this hat is missing I have gone hunting” is the most single-ready, which it rightfully has been made. Complete with crunchy guitars, kicking drums, horns, and accordian, it stands out. The comical vocals calling, “shoot, baby; shoot, baby” are great. Perhaps some other tracks should have been in this vein.
I enjoy how “Christmas in adventure parks” starts out with a bit of noise and lo-fi production and progresses to something grander. It was wise to include a female vocalist in “Your endless dream”; it brings some variety. It’s not often that I’ll enjoy simple strumming, but it worked. The cascading keyboard in and strings in ” Witches! Witches! Rest now in the fire” is rather dreamy. “You / aurora / you / seaside” took a couple listens to sink in. The instrumentation is gorgeous, but it lacks exceptional vocals—it was too early to have a track like that.
The album is varied in quality; sometimes his voice can be a tad nasal, and other times it’s really deep and beautiful. The album could be much stronger if some tracks were dropped to make a more concise, consistently good record. The instrumentals are keepers; they bind the tracks well, but: “Tick tack! goes my automatic heart” is too plain; “Help to prevent forest fires” isn’t great in the melody department; “Lost in the mountains (of the heart)” is another to cut. There’s a couple others that aren’t special enough either. The record is dragged down by them.
All in all, it’s enjoyable. I just can’t see myself listening to this in the future much.

Your showers are long enough for you to think--not good. Stop washing your hair from now on if you want to avoid it. I tried that, but my ceramic alligator protested. It gets a tad smelly, but hair stays in place easier--you'll save money on hairspray.
I have to finish my first full song by next week. I'm getting all panicky and banging the keyboard whenever I can't write a good melody. I have little separate ideas without transition. I haven't written an entire song on piano before, much less sequenced 3 layers on top of it.

I stubbed my little toe being clumsy and tired this morning and it the second most painful thing ever to happen to me I stubbed the smallest toe yesterday. I had to hop around a little in pain, but it doesn't sound nearly as bad as your case.

I'm trying it, and I'm not nearly as charming in German. Most of the time I tell people I want to sleep in their swimming pools and that my German teacher is black. I'd find it charming if someone told me they wanted to sleep in my swimming pool!

I just listened to Dudley Benson's music and I'm already enamoured. Quite a face as well.

How did I not notice that? What a horrific way to spell it. I hope that wasn't on purpose.

Jokes and sarcasm are hard to decipher on message boards. I didn't realise it was so either. :/ Oh, and: My mother: "Everything is expensive, espacially Dalia" (Dalia is me, that's my name)

Oh no! Hairdressers are so expensive. Make a good friend with a rented place and borrow his/her bathroom? Auburn can be pleasant though.

I wouldn't get the PW one for reasons above; if you change your mind about Wolf's music for whatever reason, initials won't be any good.
He has wonderful little drawings; maybe consider one of those. His lyrics are hard to pinpoint a phrase that sticks out. His lyrics are stronger in context; I think long texts is a bit much.
I don't know about these, but:
wild stretch of land
these lost souls
or the classic: let no hand hold you down let no foot mark your ground
Those are kind of pleasant. I don't know; think about it. It should be something you love enough to pick out yourself.

I was sicksicksick today, and after driving to school, retreated back home to lay down and sulk about my sickness. I am going to pay for this later--missing class. Luckily I'm feeling somewhat better.
I've also been having horrible trouble sleeping because of my racing thoughts. Stupid looping thoughts that I try and rid of by writing them down, but they still don't go away.

Rhi, I will be honest and say that I was annoyed at you some--back in the day, but now you're one of my favourite posters.

Oh god, it sounds ick. I hope the new album won't have anything like that. Do not want.

Ah! Creative costume, Rhi. I like the idea.
Apparently I have class on Halloween night.
