Typical

I got back from my run about an hour ago, I've set Taku up next to the heater and I'm just sitting in bed trying to figure out what's due the soonest, ya know. Typically it's this time of year when it seems the most important to be trying to write new tunes, gigging as much as possible, running ten kilometres a few times a week and counting calories like my life depended on it - I'm a silly creature - all at the same time - impossible. But it's OK, you know, I've been taking it one day at a time and revelling in ~tiny legends~ that happen every day, every day.

TONIGHT I made peanut butter from scratch, the best batch I've ever made. 

I TOTALLY aced a test in rhythm today and I thought about how much I've improved since the start of last year and I glow with pride. 

I RAN for the entirety of two One Direction albums tonight and I felt invincible and all boy-band fuzzy.

MY FRIDA boys thought that Lorde was pronounced 'Lord-ee' oh my God

yeah and FRIDA have the residency coming up!

NEBRASKATAK are playing at Inca Roads! 

SUMMER is coming!

 I wrote a song that I loved, then hated, then fell in love with again. I went through a brief melodrama recently where I thought I'd never be able to write a decent song again and every word I wrote for this particular song was tragic - but then on Sunday I just did it and I'm really proud. I might upload it soon for you to listen.

The words: 

rookie coffee so sour 

i wish i could want 

to spend the day in my bed

but i don't 

how perfect he stands 

backlit strums so 

sweet and so long

i'm so gone

crawling under now i wonder now

could i turn this into song somehow?

i'm tired of the postcards

with hearts drawn on cardboard 

i'm bored of reading you

that's the truth

i stumble to my

feet and just fall

my little heart pounds so strong.
