Guitar

2009
Unoriginal title, because, well, I couldn’t think of anything else. But yes: I got my first guitar! It arrived on Friday and it’s just fabulous. It’s a Squier by Fender, acoustic, and wow. It’s fun! I’ve been learning some basics and all with the help of a bunch of friends online, which has been awesome. I played my first two chords last night and I was super proud. It really hurts my fingers though, and it’s kind of awkward getting used to the way I have to position my hand and stuff, but I feel like I’m doing quite well so far.
Just got to get used to it! Here’s a picture of it (haha, yes, that is me posing with it
).
So I go back to sixth form on Wednesday! It’s my final year, and then I’ll be unleashed on the world. Scary. I’m going to continue studying Chemistry, History and English Language and I’ve told myself that I have to really push myself this year and work hard! But I’m also going to try and not let this blog suffer, so hopefully I’ll still be blogging weekly. It might take me a little while to reply to any comments, but I will.
I expect a lot of you have gone back to school/college by now? How is it going? Are you enjoying it or wishing you could have some more time off already?
I’m not sure what else to blog about right now! So I’ll just leave you with a few questions.
I do love hearing what other people have to say, reading comments and replying really brightens my day!
1. What’s a lyric from a song that really means something to you and why?
2. What song could you have on repeat for hours without it annoying you?
:heart:

1. What’s a lyric from a song that really means something to you and why?
-hmmm kinda hard
2. What song could you have on repeat for hours without it annoying you?
-i guess it’s gonna be time to pretend by mgmt
Yay on getting the guitar! I’ve always wanted to learn how to play, but I think that has passed.
Thankfully, I am all done with school!
1. I have so many but when people ask these kinds of questions, I always draw a blank.
2. Recently it is Sweet Dream by Beyonce.
I would love to learn an instrument. I have never learnt one :p
I would either choose piano, guitar or violin!
I’ve always wanted to do violin ![]()
My mums giving me the option of learning piano this year. I’m not sure if I will go, everything will be hectic with school and all.
I start school on monday :/
I am REALLY nervous.
I forgot how hard school was.
It asks for a lot of effort.
Ahh. I remember when I used to play guitar and my fingers hurt for the first few times when I played guitar. You’ll get used to it in no time.
Good luck with your ’6th form’ (I’m not sure what that year is sorry). I’m sure you’re more than capable of working very hard!
I’m smack bang in the middle of my exams! About 3-4 weeks until I go on my 2 week holiday.
Then exams all over again. hmph.

I love a lot of songs from Motion City Soundtrack – I may not be able to relate to them but they’re very thoughtful.
2. What song could you have on repeat for hours without it annoying you?
At the moment I’m obsessed with ‘I want you to want me’ by Letters to Cleo. It’s an old song, and it’s very catchy.
Hey, thanks for the comment. It *really* made my day when I read it. In all honesty, I read it like at the start of the week or something, but I didn’t want to think about it all so I didn’t comment back.
I’m getting my English paper re-marked rather than re-sitting the year (my 6th form doesn’t allow re-sitting the year =/ only modules). Words can’t express how much I appreciated your concern in your comment. It was really nice, especially since some of my own friends didn’t care so much whereas, you – someone I’ve never met did! Lol.
Moving swiftly on, congrats on the guitar! I wanted to buy a keyboard over the Summer and teach myself to play but I never got round to it. Plus I didn’t have the money for it! I really need a job .___.
What subject did you drop in the end? I started Monday and I had a lovely first week back! Have you made any yr12 friends?
1) ‘Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I’m here with you
I said the world could be burning ’til there’s nothing but dark blue..’
Jack’s Mannequin – Dark Blue [I can relate to it at times I guess]
2) Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat – Lucky [I absolutely love this one <3]
Hurrah! Fender is the best

“I lose my way, no one cares, the words I say, no one hears, my life it seems, is a world of dreams. Deep in the night, you’ll find me, dream and you’re right, behind me, stay, if you will stay, we’ll dream the night away…” -Dreams to Dream by Linda Rostandt. From the “Fievel goes to West” kids movie
My life is truly made of dreams. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqXfr-0bZJ0
2. What song could you have on repeat for hours without it annoying you?
Well, I always have a “fav.” song which I play 20+ times a day. It lasts for about 2 weeks and then I find a new “it” song
Currently my fav. is “Zydrate Anatomy” from “Repo! The Genetic Opera” movie.

I’m sooo not updated with the latest good music out there but what i’m hooked to right now is Howie Day’s Collide
Congrats on getting your guitar! I’m sure you’re gonna make awesome music with it
Wow, you’re learning fast! I wish I could get an acoustic, but I’m broke. D:
1. “Maybe in another life I could find you there;
Pulled away before your time, I can’t deal it’s so unfair.” It’s from the song ‘Gone Away’ by The offspring. It makes me think of my brother. It actually makes me cry sometimes.
2. Umm, I really dunno about that one because I’m like a music shiz. I can’t listen to a full song on my mp3 player; I have to change it like in the middle lol
Hehe it’s great to make new friends..but still really weird how many people I’ve hardly seen! Lol.
Yeah, it should hopefully get better soon. It’s annoying the way I can’t hold things properly with my left hand lol.
Oh right, yeah you can use any old photos you’ve taken. Just as long as they’re yours then it’s fine whatever you submit (:
