nalaladina's Journal  i hate my job working at the mental health camp. it is draining and takes up too much of my brain energy. that's about it. i miss being a piano teacher and having very little stress. i have no idea why i gave that up, but i think it is this ugly word = PRIDE. anyway, BOO YA! i might be moving to squirrel hill in a month or so. i am very excited about it, mainly because i need to do some growing in a social kind of way. i hope that helps me to be with my friends more often and with my family a little less. i mostly stay home at night because i am exhausted and not motivated to run around much, which is a lame excuse... Current mood:  annoyed.
you used to call me up for dinner around 4 pm we'd share at least two glasses of wine and you'd paint my face with glittering words that read that i was yours and you were mine we danced down the hall we danced down the street you told me that this is the way that you want your heart to beat (chorus) then you'd sing me a love song yes you'd sing me a love song yes you'd sing me a love song and i will sing a love song for you and i will sing a love song for you, soon your way with words leaves me mute and stranded for a day, on my island wondering what to say your way with words makes me feel like jumping from a tree into the sand to sit and play there on my knees doot doot doot doo doo your words make me hear security doot doot doot doo doo your sonorities remind me of days on brick streets when your words told me the way you want your heart to beat and you'd (chorus) thanks to all of you who have been encouraging and helping me along the way during my healing process. i appreciate your love so much. :) Current mood:  curious.
i'm sittin in my car and i reapply my lipstick and i'm lookin for a bar where i can find a man without necktie round his waist (chorus) oh i'm lookin for a man without a necktie i'm lookin for a man with an iq that's high lookin for a man without a necktie --- i walk into the bar and i reapply my lipstick and i see some men with their neckties round their head so i walk thru the hallway door and i reapply my lipstick and i see the men with their neckties on the floor (chorus) oh i'm walkin to my car and i forget abou the necktie and i reinvent my lipstick and i apply some chapstick in it's place (chorus with alternate line- i'm lookin for man who can make me feel high) oh i've had to much to drink so i decide to call a taxi oh i'm lookin for a man without a necktie oh i climb into the cab and i sit next to a lad and he has a beard and bright buttons at his waist and i grab him by the neck and i pull him a little closer and say do you own a necktie? cause (Chorus) so he says could you please repeat the question cause i haven't had much sleep and i'm feelin pretty wasted so i ask him once again boy do you own a necktie he says no and the next thing his nose in my eye oh i found a man without a necktie i found man who can make me feel high i found a man without a necktie Current mood: cynical.
ha. my first picture for lj. why have i been resisting? things are so good. i start a yoga class in the morning that i will play my psalm arrangements on the harp for the meditation time. looking forward to the community building! and other perks, like muscles. i re-built my office tonight. what an event that is. my desk is surrounded by my paper towel collections- pretty cool- i will have to upload a photo for fun...i haven't figured that out here, yet... check myspace.com/nalaladina or myspace.com/nadinaharp for more fun... i have been cooking like crazy. i knew that my maternal instinct was strong, but i didn't realize that it was like this. see, my parents are away for the week, and my bro and i both live at home. so far, i have cooked a roast, tacos, roman chicken, and have plans for three more meals this week. the funny part is, we haven't even eaten the roast yet. it is just there. like this phenomological representation of my biology. i'm sorry. that was pathetic. okay so i am fine with the fact that i really want to get married and have kids and haven't met the one yet. i am fine with that. really. don't get distracted by the hidden meaning in the conversation. my cd is almost done. this week i should be proofing the artwork and then- boom! replication! i can't wait. it is the harp ep, not the shipwrecked cd that i have been working on for five years or so. anyway, too tired for more. all of my entries that were blocked are just my lyrics. i will open them soon. Current mood:  indescribable.Current music: motown tunes. everybody go to google earth and check out the site! wow, these guys are so amazing. I like the quote from their press, as musicians speaking in the future tense. that is awesome. inspiring! they are Sound Tribe Sector 9. just relaxin tonight. my car was in the shop all day and i couldn't go anywhere, so I took a walk out to whitehall, like the good 'ole days, and enjoyed some of the fireplaces burning. I was glad to be alive for that. SOMEDAY I hope to have a fireplace. That has been a wish for sometime, AND to get to the GRAND CANYON already! ha! anyway, then i came home and worked on myspace for sometime, and made a huge leap into the future of technology by studying a little html, which I really enjoyed. I received a beautiful scarf in the mail from my friend Becky who I met through Mark. Becky and I enjoyed the New River Gorge this summer. WE RAFTED THAT RIVER! It was amazing. We stayed up all night playing music around the campfire on my harp and her hand drum. It was great...ah, the summer days... Becky also sent me a recording of two of her songs, which I am requesting approval to both cover and sample to friends. She sounds like Dar Williams, Indigo Girls, Joni Mitchell combo. BEAUTIFUL! She had moved to Kentucky to join a missionary group called CAP, which is Christian Appalachian Project. She wrote a song about the experience she had. When Katrina hit, she was moved to volunteer for a few weeks in the relief aid. Sh also wrote a song about that. Wow is all I can say about it. She is beautiful. Somehow she has been graced with this gift of positive transition and beauty. I am so amazed by her views on God, and I often wonder if I can see more like her. I hope to anyway! Current mood:  contemplative.Current music: sound tribe sector 9.  trying to find my way through this.... i am ecstatic and relieved that there is something good happening in the Middle East. I finally got to read some news and though I don't always trust the media, i am putting my faith in the article http://www.pittsburghpostgazette.co which states that there is good chance that the Palestinians are on the road to independence. Read it if you are interested! I am super relieved. I lined up the piano tuner today for the church piano, which means it will sound much better for duets with the organ or compositions with the chimers! we are beginning advent tomorrow morning and the chimers and choir will debut my arrangement of "O come o come Emmanuel." I am excited, though the piano is a little out of tune... Thanksgiving was awesome. I spent a lot of my time with my parents, which was a first, and no time with Mark, which was a first, also! It was interesting to keep in perspective that while our 20's were filled with socializing and bar hopping, my mom's was filled with transitioning from the convent to the real world. She probably never really felt "free" or "safe." I've wondered where all her fear came from, and after hearing the stories that she and her cousin, Roseanne were sharing about their days in the convent, it made much more sense. I've pulled something in my neck and shoulder and can barely turn my head. I was hoping to go ice skating tonight with sonbanon, bryguypgh, and toridoggy, though i might not risk the fall...ha! we'll see how it goes. Today is filled with errands, as usual, and i am currently enjoying an AWESOME cup of coffee. I didn't drink any yesterday so it is even better today!! Current mood:  awake.Current music: non. what a small world! i was just reminiscing about "blue karma" days and playing flute and harp with gianotta a few years back...:P btw, my friend abbey wants to talk to you about the master class you took with robert dick, gianotta!!!! Current mood:  full.Current music: a case of you...hence, the "full" icon. |
