I thought I'd lost this, so if I stick it here I'll know where it is :P
Through the Durdle Dor
I sail the freedoms far from shore trying to escape this deadly sin I
come across the durdle dor set my trim for the light within seen
through that rocky door
the screaming of a banshee a hundred amorphous shapes I look
behind me to the shore my life an unseen videotape heading for the
sea floor
colours flying everywhere my head is in a spin I
wonder if I should return go back and pull the firing pin my
destiny a funeral urn
but no this game is solitaire the real worlds started to wear thin I
throw away earthly concern and go where no one else has been from
where I can't return
I pass the door, my world expands its castles in the air nobody can
understand no more despair, I'm unaware the no mans land frequency
band
I won't return beyond the dor escape by sleight of hand he real world is to me no more good bye my friends please understand a
higher plain through the back door
...was awesome! Although I kept screwing up lol I think I screwed up my timing or played the wrong notes or missed a bit out - or all three - in every single song lol and I was a gibbering wreck for the whole of the first set - but twas awesome and I wanna do it again - NOW - but properly this time hehe
I do feel like I just ran a marathon on my hands this morning tho lol
My guitar teach asked me to play bass for his band (yea ok wrong instrument lol but I don't care - its a gig! Woohoo!)
I didn't want to say anything before in case I was just imagining it or it turned out to be a big joke lol. But I'm feeling a bit more confident now I've run through all the songs with him hehe
So wahay - can't wait til I tirn into a quivering heap of nervous jelly on the 30th Jan
Well it was good while it lasted. I could post stuff on here without being embarrassed cos nobody knew who I was - til now. Ma teach recognised me on the forums lol Oh well it was nice while it lasted I guess if I ever want to gig I'm gonna have to play in front of real people as opposed to virtual friends anyhow, so <gulp> time to get brave I guess
I'm still posting as normal, but I might be a bit fussier about what I upload from now on hehe
Yup, she's coming up North with me this weekend to visit her grandparents - although I'd better not say that out loud. They looked at me askance when I referred to the dogs as their grandsons, not sure how theyd react to a guitar - I bet they don't even get her a Christmas present
Anyhoo, I'll be out of comms from Thurs eve to Mon eve, travelling up to my P's and hubby's P's. He doesn't know spalty is coming with us yet...but I can't spend that long away from her! Separation anxiety! AAaargh!
Woohoo its my first guitar playing anniversary! Happy guitar day to me, happy guitar day to me, happy guitar day to me-he-he-he, happy guitar day to me!
And thanks to all my friends on here (you know who you are ) for helping me out (especially confidence-wise!) and making my first year so much fun!
Ok, I can cope with getting rained on so hard I might as well have swum home underwater - I certainly look like I swam back underwater - but hail? In July?! Hail hurts! And the rain stings when it goes in your eyes! That can't be good right?!
Oh well, the thunder and lightning is cool, and at this rate I'll be flooded into the flat by tomorrow
edit: lmao the rain/hail is now setting off car alarms
