I'll be in my studio, studio

- Spongetta

Sorry to anyone who will have that in their heads for the next two weeks. At least it's better than... umm... uhh... well anyway, can't wait till Glee makes a version of it.

But seriously though, if you can't find me, I most likely would be in my studio. My studio being my bedroom of course. Let me tell you, my room has lousy acoustics. For anyone who's listened to my songs, you'll know I always use a least a little bit of reverb. I pretty much have to. Otherwise, it just sounds disgusting. Thanks to my sister and her husband, I have a great mic and recording program that I'm quickly learning to use.

(Ok, well that's kind of a half lie. When I first got the program, I kept asking Joel how to do like, everything, and he was like "read the manual, it's really helpful." And I tried to. I still couldn't figure it out. So I would call him and be all like, "Joel, I really just really need to know how to do this," and he'd sigh and walk me through it.)

So most mornings that I'm not working, I sit in my studio either practicing, recording, or posting snippets of me covering popular songs on my friends' facebook walls. I say "snippets" because facebook has never allowed me to post anything over 1:06, and usually has to be less than like 40 seconds, which is really barely enough time for a chorus. But I manage. Because my fans need me. Obviously.

Speaking of work... since everyone asks me all the time - yes I do enjoy it. Greatly. Other than feeling like I'm seriously developing a case of carpal tunnel from scanning books (my dad always says "Happy scanning!" whenever I leave for work), I really do like it. I think what I like most is seeing so many faces. Granted, some of them aren't very pleasant (and I'm not speaking physically). But a lot of them are really nice to me. I can't count how many times someone has called me sweet for offering to renew books that are due the next day, or just for telling them I liked their choice.

Technically, we're not really supposed to comment on things people take out. But sometimes people ask me if I've read/seen it, or get really excited and tell me how awesome it is, or why they're taking those things out, and then I'm socially obligated to comment back, but I always keep on the positive side so that I always make the library look good. Other times it's just really slow, and I'm desperate for conversation, so I'll say "that is a great choice, by the way," and that usually gets people talking.

Anyway, people are generally nice to me. (Sometimes the men are a little too nice to me. Whenever my co-workers notice, they'll say "Did you flash your ring at him?") So yes, I really do enjoy spending time at the library. And man, do I bring home a lot of books. Like a ton. More than I should really, since I always feel like I never have time to record music. But-but... I like books!!


Uh! Uh! In my studio, studio!
