you're still my only hope

Well yes, i could very well sing Only Hope today, if I was asked to sing something; only thing is, I don't like the thought of singing it unaccompanied, but the thought of singing anything unaccompanied doesn't do much for me these days, but that, among other reasons, is why I need to take lessons again.
OK it's a backup plan; I know all the words by heart now!
so, I wanted to figure out the way there by tram, but as I hadn't done that as yet, I'll be cabbing it there, then dad offered to pick me up and bring me back with him as we're having a lunch for my Nan's b/day which was yesterday (which I had meant to document in here but forgot.)
so yep, I am told G is on a tramline, so I will sort that out next lesson, so I'm not quite paying $100 each time I see her.
Despite my slight apprehension before hand, I am quite looking forward to this now.
But, I hope I can do something major about my garlic breath in the next few hours. The tripple M's (Mazz, Michael and Molly) insisted on thanking me once again for my hospitality by taking me out for dinner last night; plus they came over here to pick up the last of their stuff. But we settled on Michael going up to get our fave avocado, prawn and garlic pizza, while Mazz and I waited and caught up on the past 24 hours or so.
The pizza was well worth it (even though others interacting with me today .. ahem .. may not agree entirely! Lol
( last night )

guess that's about enough writing for now. Will indeed document my day later.

singing

Well first/introductry singing lesson went quite well. It was only really discussion today, about her slight variations on the techniques taught between singing teachers.
Breathing and diaphram has nothing, or not much to do with a good technique; it's all in how one uses their vocal chords, and the resonating out various parts of the body. I understood everything she was saying.
At first she asked me what I was interested in doing with this; whether I was interested in performance (she's a director/performer herself), and I replied that I am doing it because I love singing and want to see me be able to improve, and if the option came later to perform, I'd go for it, (not that i said this to her, but man that'd be way way down the track! :) I reckon, why not take every opportunity I can.
While I can see what Mum had pointed out a while ago, that I'm not a natural singer, and what would I want this for anyway? I also think nothing can be wasted, and if we can better our skills for a real-life goal, why ever not?
Glenda doesn't train classical (as i'm use too with the other teachers I'd had in the past), she trains in country, jazz, and contemporary stuff which suits me fine. I like the idea of going country (as I quite like the style anyway obviously), and as i said to her, I am happy to sing what suits me best; I think that's a good way of looking at it.
So she turns out to be very nice indeed, and she has a great sense of humour. She loves heartly; was giving her a bit of attention.
I now know what tram I can get, and it's caught from boxhill, which suits me well.
yep it was very positive, so same time, same place.
Dad picked me up and we came back to spaghetti for lunch which dad had made, and some marsbar slice, that Mum made. Trent was there.
Dad just dropped me back here and Nan to the station. so yeh, pretty good day.
I think my lesson on a Saturday will be so good. will allow me to let everything out from that week!
So I have Miss rantingjules to thank for the recommendation! :)

here we go again!

Well, this morning while having breakfast, Michelle called me. i politely informed her I was eating and that I'd speak to her sometime.
so later I get an SMS saying "the friendship between us is over". "yes!" I thought to myself. that's alright then. I mean she calls at the wrong times, ya can't have a convo with her (not her fault of course; it's the schitzefrenia). but I just couldn't really have a convo with her at all. so I simply replied back "OK, if that's how you feel. I've been busy though". which I had. She had wanted to catch up, but I've been working.
anyway, had my day, came back, was listening to neighbours while relaxing, and I get these series of calls on my message bank (and one that I answered" saying "You're a bitch, bye".
after a while of this, I called them. Chris answered. I said "listen here, could you please tell Michelle to grow up and stop hastling me else there'll be trouble" and, he tries to make out he didn't know what I was talking about.
So, any more nusence calls and I'll be getting telstra to trace my calls, (even though it's a private number, this can still be done apparently.) and I've got all the messages on my message bank to prove it. so, I've got the phone turned down, and I will just have to screen calls.
all this over her parranoyer; hardly worth it. I said to Dad, that's it for trying to be nice to Psycho patients! that sounds bad, but, .. who gives. I'm sick of trying to be nice to these people!
I'm relieved that the friendship is over, and will be even more relieved when she gives up and moves on! aaah the beauty of telstra tracers otherwise!

better now

Feeling a lot better now. Michelle did leave one more message, obviously after Chris had told her what I said, and it was "you grow up, stay the heck away and you'll be the one with no friends". well, wrong on three accounts mate; by golly I've stayed away, so that's no issue, and thanks but I've got a lot of great friends thanks; some idiots who were friends but have decided to no longer be, but that is their problem, not mine and mistakes they have made.
Why Chris let her get away with all those calls, I will never know, but despite this, he does seem sensible, so I would say that he told Michelle to stop doing it or else the calls can be traced. so yeh, hope he did talk to her.
nothing else after that, so hope it's all over! I just hate the thought of being harassed in me own home.
After talking to J, I feel back to normal. I needed a distraction.
Going to aim to buy meself a bluetooth keyboard this week for my maestro in case i decide to go to writers group, though course I have singing, so it will depend on what time it is.
also just spoke to golden_sands and was so sad to find out her news, but we're all here for her; that can't be much consolation atm though.
