Faygo DOES Still Exist!
I ain't foolin'
Alrighty. So, for tonight's showcased photograph, I decided to switch it up a bit and dig deep into the past. There is a thread, however, which connects the last photo to this one. That thread is: Halloween.
This picture was taken a whole bunch of years ago. I'm the cowgirl, and my sister is the mouse. Obviously there was no digital photography back in the day, but for some unknown reason my sister decided to scan this picture and send it to me. So... I figure... why the hell not.
I feel good today. I've been digging into grad school stuff to see if there's any way I can still go in the fall. It's looking positive today, but it's hard to tell. I've been trying to decide whether or not to wait another year... due to my financial situation (or lack thereof) and my mother's health. However, even if I worked for another year, chances are I would just squander the money I'd be making anyway. And besides, grad school is different. I can find a place to work during grad school, so hopefully that can make a financial difference. And my mother *should* be done with chemo and radiation by the time I'd be leaving for school anyway.
Also, even if her health wasn't so great by then, the two schools I'm looking at are WVU (which is only an hour and a half away) and a program that I can do from home. I really just want to get on with it... to get on with life and get a handle on what it is that's going to occupy my time for the rest of my stay here on this cute lil' planet.
And now, a song.
Three AM each step the only sound
Sometimes the wind would sing along
Only the sad parts
And snow might fall
But you were worth the chill
(Chorus)
You were always most beautiful
In the hours the world didn't see
The hours I let you see me cry
The hours you harbored me
And I wish I could say
That I never looked back
I wish I could say
I never looked back
The same each time
You were consistently perfect
Frost said
"Nothing Gold Can Stay"
I know
I knew
I know
We knew
(Chorus)
In those nights, we walked
You caught each tear
Remembered each drop
Answered and held them
It hurt to know
We'd have to go
We secretly hope
Those we leave
Suffer without us
But when over my cold shoulder
I saw you stumble
It struck like an arrow
And I couldn't watch
And I wish I could say
That I never looked back
I wish I could say
I never looked back
Maybe I'll slowly start leaking "Great Fall" lyrics onto my blog as well in the hopes that I'll get some feedback on them. Any comments out there? Suggestions for a title?
Anyway... not much else to update except I taught myself some scales on the 'ol bass guitar today.
... because I RULE!
Howdy, pardner.

Claire!
So I finally find out you have another blog. I've read the whole thing and loved it. Keep on blogging, cuz. (cous? Caus..?)
As for your lyrics idea, I recommend against it, and here's why: it's so hard to tell what lyrics are emphasized, what is soft and what is loud, what is critical and what is not, when there is no music accompanying said lyrics. But that said, I would pay so much money to hear you sing them in a band!!!!!!
Great blog Claire!!
