I can’t go too many days in a row without rehearsing My Immortal Nostalgia. Otherwise it will make me dizzy like now. My insides just cave in. I just think, did it really…? I don’t even think. It doesn’t make sense and doesn’t hold up to the light of day. But it’s so much. I Continue reading

I would be sulking just like I was last weekend over missing the Irish Festival again if I weren’t going to one too. Oh, and I am. I have Ophelia, Shelley and Johnny Continue reading
