Shantelle

It is now the end of November and there is snow on the ground. The sun is out right now, but it’s still miserably cold outside. I haven’t written a journal since my party last month, but this last month has been a bit hectic. I’ve been working and I’ve been writing songs. My sister and I have been working on a couple songs together. It’s nice to have a sibling that also plays music. Before, she looked at me with disgust because I could play. She’s different now, which is good. I don’t know what Amber has been doing. She is the drummer but we never practiced for a while.

On Monday, I was playing volleyball with my fellow classmates when someone told me that someone had dedicated a song to me on the radio. Now, this usually doesn’t happen to me or anyone I know because this is a small town. There is only about 500 people in this town. It’s now Thursday and I still don’t know who sent it.

Last week, the volleyball team that Amber (Drummer of the Falling Unknown) and I have been coaching, has won the Junior Girls Volleyball Divisional! I am so proud of them, but I’m $20 in the hole because I said that if they won that I would foot the bill for Pizza. Oh well, it worked didn’t it? Meanwhile the team that I am on got second place.

 My cats, Sphinx and Sisky, have been pretty good. Sisky knocked over my plant but it’s all good. She is pretty smart. When she wants something, she taps me. I think she learned that from Sphinx because he does that all the time. And they both can play fetch, it’s awesome.

Work has been fun. For the past two weeks, I’ve made a lot of money in tips. But I’m saving it for recording. I’m trying to record some of my music, professionally.

I’ve become obsessed with writing. I come up with ideas, and luckily, I have these lyric books that I carry around with me just in case I have an idea. But the hardest part is perfecting it.

I work tonight, tomorrow night, Saturday and Sunday. That’s a lot of hours. I have time for homework and music, so it’s not a huge problem.

Right now I’m listening to music. I was listening to Misery Business by Paramore, Living in America by the Sounds, Seed by TAI, Papercuts by GCH, and the Shake by My American Heart. You can watch the video on my Band’s site.
