stuff... oh and twist...

it's hard to describe what's been happening in the last few weeks cos it's all a blur.
daph's mum's funeral was on mon 21st june. it seems like a dream cos i just dont remember. was trying so hard to keep it together.
i also crashed my car into a pole at mac centre the day before cos i was upset.

twist... good being away. felt vulnerable and ended up getting slammed in the songwriters workshop.
got there without getting too lost...
funniest thing... well for me was getting up for orderlies on sat morning. i'm sooo not a morning person so my idea of fun at camps is to climb out of bed about 10 mins before breakfast (if i even make it there) and chuck on something. brush my hair and maybe teeth before walking with my eyes still half closed to breakfast.
but... i was on orderlies which meant being there 15 mins before breakfast to set up tables etc.
i was going to go do orderlies and then climb back into bed... anyway so i get up maybe around 30-45mins before breakfast and wander into a shared bathroom. (the other dorm on the opposite side of the block shares a bathroom with us - we each have doors on opposite ends). so i walk into the bathroom... and wow... there's all these aussie young girls putting on makeup and getting ready... seriously it's a camp! such overkill...
gee and on sunday morning i didnt even make it to breakfast and ended up being a tad late to my workshop... sooo not a morning person!
but me being sleepy might have something to do with the late night jam session in the boatshed at the youthworks site... sooo much fun!!

hmmm i think i come out of twist realising a couple of things:
- i'm not a songwriter... better stick to being a muso (playing not writing)
- i actually find emu music too formulaic and boring...
