life is amazing
every time i move westward, my life gets increasingly awesome.
1) moving tomorrow to my new apartment with gabe, who is one of my best friends ever. we will have an awesome apartment full of light. and plants? we got internet, electricity, home insurance, curtains today. he will write, i will play music, genius.
2) have decided to get act officially together, music-wise. sent out a demo to a folk company here in mtl - they love it! must now get live show together. was contacted about doing something with a guy from new york who heard my stuff online, but he fell through. oh well. getting one together in the quartier latin, which will be epic. and then i will be allied with this folk company, and get more shows, and money.
2b) my soon to be new sister-in-law has an uncle who does work with dave matthews? and she said she'd pass things along and that since we were going to be related, her uncle was duty-bound to help me. while i am not entirely certain that is true, a girl can dream!
2c) the band i am in is amazing. i just sing back up, but samples can be heard at pauljantzi.tumblr.com. we had the best jam ever two nights ago. nothing is awkward with paul, and when i expressed hesitation about not being a good enough keyboardist to stay with them and do them credit (cos i am not, though i am a great singer) i was told to man-up and that no one could ever replace me because i have heart, and enough skill.
2d) starting a band for my own songs with my friend stevie. who sings beautifully, and thinks all of my songs are awesome.
2e) recording with my friend aaron in milwaukee this summer. he is a genius, i am stoked.
3) auditioning for a FUTURISTIC ROCK OPERA in the next two weeks. i want to be the human clone slave/bomb diffuser.
4) took a million pictures to help out my friend, including the furry-hat one featured here. alana makes me feel amazingly beautiful all the time, now that i just pose for pics and don't let her take candids. these pics will also be useful when i sell myself to the music industry.
4b) my friend Marieke wants to become my personal tailor, since i am social and musical and seen by many people. she will create clothing for me, which hopefully alana will photograph, and we'll all get famous together.
4c) i am editing stories for my friends' quarterly genre fiction anthology. that is what my saturday morning will be full of. this ties in, because they hold launch parties, which alana photographs, and i occasionally play music at. god, i love everyone.
5) i love being a cafe worker. i love my boss, my coworkers, and my customers. weird, eh?
6) i met a tall boy with white hair and green eyes who plays video games, likes dancing, and can recite latin noun declensions at 6 in the morning while drunk and drugged out of his mind. even his irrational dislike of birds is adorable. aww. we went on a date! which i have never really done before. normally i know people, befriend them, and *then* romantic shenanigans ensue. except at the end there was this awkward cheek-kiss thing. any anglo transplants to montreal can see where that is heading.
7) in conclusion, i heart everything. hope all of your lives are glorious, or at least looking-up. this year is going to be fabulous.
