Ani D and Me
Not much has made me feel like writing lately. What with all of this change (falling crazy in love, moving from New York to Seattle, totally changing my social circle), I think I've been putting all of my energy into remembering who I am in my head. I haven't felt like I've had the energy to get that accurately on "paper." But today I've been feeling the desperate need to create more and to document more. Maybe this whole livejournal thing will help with that.
I watched most of Render tonight, a documentary by Ani DiFranco about herself and her music and various political issues. I am almost embarrassed to admit how much of an Ani D fan I am -- but there it is. I love me some Ani D. I love her political ideals, I love all of her songs (well, except for "Napoleon" and its gratuitous use of the word "fuck" and "How Have You Been?" because she says "been" like "bean" and that really bugs me), and I love her "little folk singer" persona. Most of all, I love that listening to her music makes me need to get out there and make more and do more. I think what I really need is to find someplace to volunteer. I have all of this time, and I'm not doing nearly enough with it. So there you go. I'm going to go do some research before I lose my ambition.
