measure in love.
so... aranda got tickets. she is sitting so far away from the stage that it makes me feel grateful. hopefully neither of us will get kidnapped and raped or anything. if we do, it will probably be worth it just to see them in concert. or, if were extra lucky, maybe maynard can have his way with us. ;) i think i would be willing to physically harm someone for backstage passes. hmm. well, maybe not. but id gravel. oh yes, much much graveling. and if the cell phone company didnt already have my soul in a jar, id give them that, too.
i was approached today by my friend andy and this girl ashley about doing a song with them, as well as ben, for a small audition group for spring concert. its flattering, actually. and for the most part they are all rather good singers. considering it would only be a quartet, i really am happy that they considered asking me under the impression that i could hold my own part and do well. thats not really a question. the song is not hard, and im pretty good about rising to vocal challenges. the problem seems to be that i told them yes. or rather that i would look at it. ok, maybe i prematurely said yes. because i seem to have forgotten how much i absolutely fucking loathe the song they picked. what the fuck was i thinking? i am the completely opposite of this pop-style "luv" sort of choir piece. i am scarborough fair and festival sanctus. i am competiton music. this song drove me insane. its easier to sing now that i project more. in my more timid years i shyed away from some of the higher notes. i can sing them softly now, so thats a sure sign that i can sing them louder. the trouble is that i just dont think i want to sing this. i really wish hannah and i couldve worked out the song we were going to do. or just done one of the other songs i suggested... oh well... maybe something else will come up. i might sing with a small group for some graduation event stuff. who knows. i wish we had done an auditon choir this year. i pushed it a lot, but i think our director was hesitant to make any such move as she is new. it would have been nice. i think a very strong, small group is very impressive, and i would like to do that. but this is not at all the piece i was hoping to sing. hmm.
and off i go, to sing it some more.
