Open up those wings, you're gonna fly

- Joel Wright

Changed my template again...
Yes, I've gone back to a pinkish background. Deal. It's not that I like pink better than other colours. (My favourite colour is actually yellow, we all know that.) But pink just seems to suit me better I guess. Plus it's pretty!

I'M GETTING MARRIED!
Two weeks ago yesterday, my boyfriend proposed to me. And of course I said yes. I said it very quietly, but he heard it. And he knows how much I want to. While most of the time the future is very scary to me, I can be certain of one thing: I will get married to the man of my dreams. And I know we'll take care of each other. See? Much less scary.

Recording tip #1

A few weeks ago, I discovered that adding reverb to a song you've just recorded makes it sound ten times better and more professional. Even if it's barely noticeable, and even if it's a lot. Makes a huge difference. I think that's the one thing that every closet recording artist should know. I mean, yeah it should be good, and well-performed and all that. But reverb is really the key to making a listenable song.

The library

I work at a library. It's sometimes very tedious (trust me on this), and sometimes challenging (which is a good thing). But my favourite thing about it is the regulars. Just seeing them and knowing exactly what they'll bring back and take out. And I've only been there about two months, but most of them know my name. But they all at least know me. You can tell by the way they smile and greet me. I guess that's one of those things I've always wanted in a job.

Looks like I might be spending an American thanksgiving this year. That could be fun!

You'll never know what if unless you try to fly.

Music is... a part of my very being.
