spies
tonight, i was given watch over another person. not like a watchdog or a bodyguard, but like some kind of monk or wise person that is made to hang around, in case their good judgement is needed.

take the scrathciness, but leave the low, smokey quality.
whenever i'm healing from a sore throat, i don't sound like 14 year-old singing.

this christmas, i would like to attend midnight mass.
it's something i've always wanted to do, but have somehow never been able to. there is, of course, my slight apprehension about going alone for the first time. i have never even been in a catholic church and would not know what to do and what not to do. ideally, i would just like to slip in unnoticed and sit quietly the entire time. i doubt i would ( Read more... ) -

and i discovered you
