Rejection acceptance

This is just like the time she said it was kinda mutual but still said “no”, and then I spent the next six months in swoon limbo until put out of misery. Except replace the "no" at the start with an initial “yes let’s go out in the near future” and take away the scene where you tearfully run home late at night and keep bizarrely running into people you know just out for a midnight stroll/bike ride, and where you are faced with no option but to ignore them and keep running. Except make it about music instead.

Joined choir, final stages of Bear Cat debut underway

I joined a choir so I could learn how to sing better. Also for kicks. It's at Pitt St Methodist and I audtioned and got in and now get free singing lessons for being in the choir.

This sounded like a good deal to me. Am learning my range sucks but getting better.

Working on lots of new songs about various things. Some of these songs are a departure from previous things, some of them less so. Maybe they will become Bear Cat songs. Don't know how I want to record them properly but gonna do demos in the next while.

Bear Cat debut short-album thingie is heading into the process of final mastering this month, and I'm talking to a fantastic artist called Andy about doing a cover, so hopefully we can work something out because his stuff is really great and I think he understands where I am coming from, which to me is more important than anything technical.

I am so completely frightened of so many things right now.

you are my greatest fear and I thought that I could run from you


If you've been watching the news, shark attacks through the roof
they're calling this month the summer of blood

If you're worried about getting eaten, they say the odds are tiny
it's way more likely you'll die in the home

I don't wanna be shark food

Nevertheless I'm obsessed with the king of the sea
pick up Reader's Digest for monthly stories

About people who survived shark attacks and still swim in the sea
you get the same kicks vicariously

I don't wanna be shark food

So I made up my mind, I'd stay outa the sea, and I waltz on down, yeah I waltz on down to the Central Library... and go on adventures through all the pages, the Cold War, teleportation, cookbooks, speed dating, and then I go weak at the knees - five ninety seven point three in the dewey... what a beautiful sight - full colour books - of the shark's secret life - and I'm safe on dry land so they can't ruin mine

SAYS YOU

And wriggling through the door was a Great White Shark

"Take off that stupid shark mask"
"Take off that stupid panda mask"

234 Though you thought that you were safe on shore
there's a Great White going right for your left paw
And though you felt so safe at the library
there's a Great White there with no intent to read

Knowledge is power, don't you dare teach that thing how to read
You are my greatest fear, thought that I could run from you
