A Circus on the Moon

I have a ton of work to do but I just can't seem to find the motivation to do it all...I'm listening to wonderful music instead of going over "Regina Coeli" which is just not that attractive of a piece.

"Circus on the Moon" has my attention right now, a song off Bruce Hornsby new album, and it's simply beautiful to listen to. The man is so talented.

Speaking of music, A Cappella Fest was wonderful. It was perfect, Hilltones, my tones, you guys were so amazingly on, and it showed. We hit it all, and then some. We owned the pieces we performed, and I can't wait for the recording to come back. As far as I'm concerned, we will beast Florida. Nothing can stop us now.

Laurelei opened up a new standard in their performance at A Cappella Fest. They were brilliant, stunningly beautiful, and right on the money as far as pitch, tempo, just everything. The confidence they had was something I'd never seen in that group at GFS since MMMBop, and it was easy to tell because of the sound they made. A standing ovation to you, Laurelei, I love you all.

And then the seeing of my dear Katie. She is not a bad person, not at all, and I'm so glad I got to see her and bring her back to Heather's. Thank you Heather, for having her, it meant so much to me. She was right at home there and for a while it seemed as though it might have been a normal weekend last year...but then she left, and we are not together anymore. She asked me to call her the next day, and I did, but it's been a few days since then and I feel as though no matter what happens I will only be able to talk to her every few weeks, and see her far less...

And so I've found someone to whom I've developed a certain fondness for, someone who I've known for a long time and simply watched from a distance, wanting to be a part of her life. Nothing has changed...perhaps nothing will. I'm shy, despite what people may think, and no matter how many times I realise I need to create my own luck and just allow myself to go for something, I hold myself back. I need to just let go. What have I got to lose anyway? Well...her...I suppose. I don't know what she wants in terms of anything right now, but if I could just hold her...to be able to hold someone? You know? It feels so good. So wonderful. Just that physical contact and knowing that they're right there, and that they want you to hold them...

It's a magic I long for...
