Today I actually dressed for a change, instead of wandering about in pajamas and a hoodie (I'm still wearing a hoodie though). I don't feel woozy anymore, and I'm no longer leaving crumpled tissues about the house like a partying snow cloud. Also, today is officially the first day of Autumn! This is my first time ever experiencing a British Autumn. I remember looking out last night and literally thinking the sky was on fire because of all the colours as the sun went down. It was beautiful. I climbed on top of our car and snapped a few pics. Unfortunately I couldn't see the horizon because of the trees, but they made a nice silhouette against the sky.
I remember a lot of things. Like random facts about TV shows, the lyrics for just about every song in The Greatest Showman and Aladdin (including the one that was cut), the first time I was asked whether I wanted my egg soft or hardboiled (hard; I was 5 and didn't know what softboiled meant. I ended up not eating the egg cuz I didn't like it. Oh well.), the time my brother cracked his head on the windowsill literally just as my dad was leaving for a trip to the jungle... my head is packed with a lot of things. And it goes into hyperdrive at night. Which is why I didn't sleep til the wee hours last night. I can lie for hours and just think. Mostly about Wandavision, I admit. Sometimes I'll make up an accompaniment to a random song or mix two together or just completely overanalyse the lyrics. Sometimes I'll find myself absentmindedly composing an email to someone I admire. I did go through a massive period of that during my Greatest Showman obsession (I would watch it like once a month, find out all the trivia and memorise the cast list. That's what I do when I obsess. I find out every little detail), mostly to Zendaya. I don't anymore though.
Have I told you about NF? You need to know about NF. NF is illumifork (awesome, for non-WHers). He's an amazing rapper (no cussing, in case any of you were worried) and he also has a pretty great singing voice. I recommend you listen to The Search, Let You Down or Time (especially Time). He uses strings a lot in his songs and it blends really well with his voice. NF is not a cheerful rapper. He's gone through a lot in his life and that's what he raps about, his depression, his strained relationship with his mother, his suicidal thoughts (which he defeats)...
Sleeping at Last. I have mentioned him before. He is also fantastic, but completely different to NF. Sleeping at Last (Real name Ryan O'Neal) is more folksy. He puts a lot of thought and love into both his music and his lyrics. It just sounds really amazing. Songs I recommend: Two, Neptune, Seven, Son, Daughter, Life...
Whew. This was a LOT longer than the last entry.
