"Hey, that sounds exactly like the beginning of that song!" "Which song?" "DUDE! THAT SONG! You know the one!" "Oh, that song"

I have, unintentionally, become a part of a band - temporarily, as far as I know. We don't have a name, but we can play three songs. Three! That's quite a full little repertoire there! Well, to be fair, they can play more, but I am only able to play three with them, and I'm quite terrible, and I'm not sure what my attitude is to the imminent embarrassment you just know is coming Sunday night. As they're all guys, this means I have to lend my vocals to songs by Green Day (yeah, I can get on board with that), Jimmy Eat World (HELL TO THE YES), and Bon Jovi (which unfortunately means I will have to sing things like "blood red nails on your fingertips" and "a school boy's dream, you act so shy" and I either have to change the lyrics or play the lesbian vibe. Hmm). I also spent a hell of a lot of time googling videos that makes me smile (see: 1, 2, 3, 4 by the Plain White Ts and It Had To Be You by Motion City Soundtrack).
Anyway, irrelevent. What I wanted to say was that this brought into my mind the old arguement of what I would name my imaginary band.

Literal drumroll, please.

Anyway, when people ask me what I would call a potential band, my safe answer that I tell them, which also rings massively true because it sounds freaking epic,  The Leopluradons, after the classic Charlie The Unicorn. I am a massive nerd. I could settle for, say Starfish Loves You as well. A Hunger That Only Hands Can Satisfy? A little bit long. Maybe The Letter Y because...yeah, wow, that's a gold mine. Thank you Jason.

I have pet names to. You know, things like Dirty Looks, Bad Vibes (the heading in a book of my mother's I read once that I adopted somewhat). Also on that list are Don't Do Drugs (because a positive healthy message is exactly what the kids of today need). Forgive/Forget - because I'm a fan of creative use of punctuation, also seen in something like Dance.Live.Dance. There's another big major one, but I'm not going to tell you it because I'm going to reserve it for when it actually happens - which will take a hell of a lot of work. Until then, I'm going to stuck with untitled band, at least for the duration of the week.

So I thought I'd let you guys into my head a little.
Actually, if you were to step into my mind right now, you'd get blasted at with "IT JUST TAKES SOME TIME, LITTLE GIRL, YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIDE, EVERYTHING EVERYTHING WILL BE JUST FINE, EVERYTHING EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT ALRIGHT"

I am trying to memorise things. Shut up.

Also, long weekend has been fantastic for no real reason (seriously, my only social outings have been band practices, other than that it's been homework and movies with the family). I ate some Anzac biscuits on ANZAC day. I felt patriotic. School tomorrow and I'm so tempted just not to go.

Also, I accidentally wrote THE MOST EMO PIECE OF POETRY EVER. It did happen to involve the stanza:

She liked to run her fingers through the flesh

The soft skin on the underside of her arm

Leaving train tracks

Dots of scarlet

To remind herself that she was human

I'll leave you on that joyous, happen note.
