just so we’re clear about what gets me out of bed every morning

Another year has come and gone. This year was interesting, full of ups and downs, probably the best year of my life so far. I feel like dropping a recap again this year, so here we go.

it is actually incredible to me how many dark souls pvp fags get REALLY MAD when you alt-f4 them because you don’t feel like fighting some fuckass smurfer when you’re trying to have a chill co-op with your spouse or your friends

book three one way tickets for my trip to canada and then germany in february: $900 total, carry-on included in all three flights

if you book the same exact cities using the “multi-city” feature: $2300 and no carry-on bag included

does this actually get people?

i want to make music. i don’t know anything about making music. but fuck it, i’m already learning how to sing and i have literal notebooks filled with poems (lyrics?). why not start making songs? yeah it’ll be really hard but i just ran a motherfucking marathon faster than 90% of the people who run them and that was the hardest thing i’ve ever done in my life. if i can do that, i think i can learn to make music.

Aurora Aksnes

the girl standing behind me leaned on me and almost bashed my face into the back of AURORA’s head and then i tried to give her a print of a painting my wife made for her but her uber driver stepped on the gas as she reached to take it from me and we shared this hilariously tragic eye contact as i watched her face turn from delight to despair, both arms still outstretched through the window as she was whooshed away. (i am aware of how fake this sounds)

the superfans i met in the queue will remember me as the girl who flew across the world for one day (and who suddenly didn’t have a ticket for like an hour before divine intervention provided me a new one– but that’s a different story), and AURORA will most certainly remember me as that girl who she got yoinked away from 🤣 i know that is going to haunt her lmaoo, but that means she’ll definitely remember me if i ever see her again and we’ll have something to laugh about HAHA

also, the concert was stunningly beautiful. it was held inside Union Chapel in London, a venue which is famous for its exquisite acoustics. and they were not lying. when her voice sailed high, it felt like the sound was piercing the heavens. every note raised goosebumps, every belt tore straight through the chest. it was a beautiful, absolutely ethereal and magical show. everyone was in a trance. the silence at the end of the last song went on so long that i was scared to be the one to break it for fear of shattering the reverie. it was truly beyond words to describe. i know it was a crazy and insane decision, to skip work and fly across the world for one day just to see a woman making noises. i didn’t eat, i barely slept, i was standing outside in a queue for nearly 9 hours. but i made a bunch of new friends, met some extremely lovely people and heard what is easily the most beautiful music i’ve ever heard in my life, in a beautiful place, with beautiful people around me. it was a gift.

wow this person must really hate math

my phone woke up and chose violence today

i don’t know why but my phone recently decided that it isn’t going to pause my music when i put my earbuds back into their case anymore, but instead just play over the speaker. it’s only been happening for a couple days so naturally i forget pretty much every time.

i just took my earbuds out in the stairwell at work after being in the gym and the death metal blasting at max volume jumpscared not only me, but the poor girl i’ve never met before who was going down the stairs in front of me. i honestly thought both of us were going to die for a second

Damn; I hate it when they do that. Had that happen before with both death metal and really loud, vulgar punk rock. I don’t know if it would help, but I eventually got mine to quit it by turning off the phone and turning it back on. Also disconnecting the Bluetooth and reconnecting.

i thought to try both of those things but i’m unbelievably lazy LOL i will try this though now that i’ve called myself out 😂

SIR

that anon i got last night made me forget the entire reason i opened tumblr at all and that was to say that i found a new voice teacher and had my first lesson yesterday and learned more in 30 minutes than i learned in 8 months with my previous teacher 🙃🙃 she listened to me for like 10, 15 seconds? walked me up the piano to hear what i was doing at various pitches and that was all she needed to start correcting my placement issues. instant and dramatic change in my tone quality. i’m still in shock and now i’m like, kinda really mad at how much time i wasted with my old teacher.
