milestone?

so my last post there just so happened to be my 50th post.
pretty intense.
i'm happy with my consistency in writing. i try to put something down every day and just make it a habit. making it part of my winding down routine for the evening helps. although if you check the timestamps on the bottom of my posts you'll see what time the end of my "evening" usually is. often past 1 am. also often past 2 am. and not too uncommonly, past 3.

so i stay up late. *shrug*

woke up this morning, hit the snooze on my alarm, then got up when round two of the violent digital alarm clock noise went off. nick and i went to church and had a pretty nice breakfast, then had band practice, sunday school, then church service. brian richards is doing some graphic design work for our church, and i could tell when i saw it that it was his doing. he does good stuff, for sure.
went home and had lunch with the family + nick. good lunch. i was happy to not have to work today, i got to hang out at home longer. oh, i got to do an easter egg hunt! i totally didn't expect it. well, it wasn't really an "egg" hunt, it was more of a "candy" hunt. but it was fun, i haven't done something like that in quite a while.

well, i'm feeling like taking a nap, but i have to fill out my fafsa first. i finally got the tax info from my parents to finish things up. i really really really hope that i'm going to get a good deal of financial aid for this next semester. if at all possible, i would love to avoid going farther in on loans.

so, gameplan: fafsa, reading, (while i'm reading i'm sure to get sleepy) so nap until band practice later on.

i'm thinking of writing a song based off of the words "sea of memories." i want to use the imagery associated with that short phrase. something about a shipwreck too. i made up some words while at work yesterday, i wonder if i can remember how they went...

i was sailing in a sea of memories,
the blue-green waters filled with thoughts of you and me.
but if found that i came ill-equipped
and now i'm stranded on a ship
a sinking mast, as i hold fast, to all my past

yeah i think that's about what i thought of before. when i make up lyrics i usually imagine somebody else's voice singing them. for some reason i thought of jack johnson on this one. i was trying to think of a song with a more mellow feel to it, and jack seemed to fit that tone quite well. it's a shame that words alone can't convey the melody of the lyrics. maybe someday i'll record my voice for these kinds of things.

until next time, farewell.
