| What a song to get stuck in my head |

I clicked on a blind link a friend sent me which led me to this music video of a kpop band. It brought out the gay in me. First of all, you had 13 guys to choose from and they danced really well and they were singing in at least a 5 part harmony. I found myself watching it five times. This friend... is speaking in rhymes when I see her next. Needless to say, the song is stuck in my head, along with certain moves they do. You know what is worse? I have this song practically memorized but I do not know any Korean. So I could be singing about getting a massive hard on for fat chicks and I don't even know it.
My iPhone does not have enough kpop of this wonderous 13 member group. Their video is so misleading. They promise that they will take care of who they love but we all know that they will probably leave the next morning before you wake up.
hioewhdsxozj That would be a great song. I need to write this now. I'm thinking it starts off as kind of poppy then suddenly goes hard rock when talking about leaving the next morning. I like being surprisingly inspired. The muses sure love dropping anvils on me at random times.
Oh! I got my GED. I think this causes for a celebration.

I lost 25 bucks on the World Cup Game. I've decided it is the fault of Paul the Oracle Octopus. I call for octopusacide. Or that he at least gives me 25 bucks.
You know this is random, but when I was little, I used to pretend the suckers from the octopus Mom would bring home sometimes got stuck on my tongue. She fell for it twice. The third time she made me sit in the corner all afternoon! Well... she told me it would have to be for 10 minutes but I couldn't sit still that long. Oh mom. Come on, suckers on my tongue. That's funny.
Oracle Deities have interesting senses of humor if they choose an octopus to determine the outcome of a game. Either that or really drunk.

Yay! It is the 4th of July!
You know, one of these days, since I am now 18, I am going to become a naturalized citizen of this country. USA USA USA! I think I knew I was finally a citizen when I cheered for US during the World Cup for Gods Sake. But I think I'm going to have to study the constitution a bit more. Because that is required.
I remember my first 4th of July. I was six. I thought at first that the US was celebrating Tanabata. Mom had to explain this wasn't Tanabata so I couldn't hang up my wish on a branch outside the church in the neighborhood (I did anyway). I think I wished for a puppy. I don't remember now.
I loved the fireworks and Mom tried to explain to me where this holiday came from. I remember I found the story so inspiring. Equality and Freedom. And the fact that the little guy could fight against a big bad King.
People were so nice and friendly when I came here as opposed to my place of birth in which I am certain everyone looked at me as bad luck and Mom was shunned for having a child out of wedlock. But here? No one cared much. People were very understanding. Teachers helped me learn English and helped me with my studies. Only the speech barrier made me feel like an outsider and it wasn't like people didn't try to fix that. Music... is the ultimate barrier breaker. I made friends at recess by making a whistle out of an acorn and I showed the other kids how to do it.
I really love this country and is my home. So any negativity, do not bring to me.
Anyways, who has plans for this holiday?
I now have an idea for a song and no, it will not be country. It will have an immigration theme.

Moonlight Sonata is stuck in my head.
I've decided I'm going to play key selections on my lyre on the roof of the Apollo Cabin, assuming the darkness doesn't cause me to slip and break something, preferrably my arm to my lyre. I'll be playing key selections of a variety of songs, some improvising, and some songs I wrote myself. I'm contributing this inpromtu concert to the twins. People are free to join me.
Oh man, this sucks. I have nothing witty to say about how much this does suck.

Okay, I know. Things are nuts right now. Well, there is never a dull moment. But I think we do need to do something that is more happy rather than wallowing in angst like a bunch of emo demi-gods.
Guys, I'm looking for band members. Right now I have Fritz and me and a groupie. I need at least two more people. I have a repertoire prepared. So please. Whoever is interested, let me know! Then we can get down to business.
So Father's Day is coming soon and I considered getting this. But maybe I will just play a song I wrote.
Psst Bridget.

You know, I had an idea for a movie when I was 15. It would be more like a short subject. It would be about some guy who wakes up with a soundtrack only he could hear. It turned into a horror film mostly because you'd get the crazy chords when this one person would enter his line of sight. Little did he know that person was going to secretly KILL him. I have no idea why I decided to bring that up.
A lot seems to be going on around camp and I just can't stay down for too long. Besides, people threaten to take away my lyre when I do. SO! It is horrible to hear about all the battles that have been going on. And to hear the Thalia tree along with Thalia herself has been hurt. Glad the situation is working out for the better and she is better! Sometimes I feel the world is going to hell and I have no idea how to handle it but to play a tune.
So I've been trying to be doing other things like looking into getting my GED and since I am now 18, I got a tattoo! I almost was pretentious and got my name in Japanese tattooed across my lower back but then I realize it wouldn't really be that pretentious since I am 1/2 Japanese and I also realized my first name looks kind of weird next to the kanji of my last name (斉藤オルフェオ). Besides, I haven't written in so long I couldn't give it to the tattoo guy so it didn't look like it was written by someone who was dyslexic unless I typed it out like I just did. Then I thought about it in Greek, Ὀρφεύς. Thennnnn I thought about a glass of milk and oreos. I ended up drawing some sort of weird sketch thing. It looks like it would belong on a tarot card. It is a lyre with the sun in the background. There is a scroll on one side that says Ὀρφεύς and another that says 斉藤. Trust me, this man works wonders and it looks better than how I described it. Also, if anyone finds a Japanese woman looking for "O-chan", do not tell her I got a tattoo. >.>;;
Anyways, now that I got that out of the way... I think it is high time we bring some cheerfulness and sunshine too this camp. I know someone or it was me who thought of the idea for a band. Is anyone interested? I mean, we could be a cover band and play a wide variety of music. I think everyone could use a break from all the stress going on around here. Besides, music is a gift and we might as well use it.

I have Caprice No 24 in A minor by Paganini stuck in my head. I ended up having to play it but now it is really stuck in there. Paganini always sort of fascinated me as a composer. His pieces are notoriously difficult so much so that people thought he sold his soul to be able to play the violin. The Pope even said Paganini couldn't be buried in hallowed ground. What was even more interesting is that he suffered from a genetic disease which gave him long fingers which made it easier to play the violin.
...
This is the type of things I write about when I would much rather be... you know... rescuing people. Is anyone doing anything?

I got Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue stuck in my head. Makes me want to play the clarinet. It feels like my life right now. I mean it fits. It's kind of confusing. I mean... is it jazz? Is it classical? Is it happy? Is it sad? Why is it in Blue? One thing is for certain is it is a very long piece and for some reason I think of mongooses when I hear it. There really was a point in that whole mess of words, I swear.
I think I just can't get over the fact that the prodigal son returneth. It's tough to swallow Since many many people have touched on this matter, I will actually for once NOT BE ANNOYING and mention it further.
Okay I lied.
How come there isn't a welcome party in the plans right now? Do people doubt the abilities of the Daughter of Iris in figuring out the truth?
I want to start a rock band.
[Private to Self]
I miss my fallen brothers. I was just getting over it too. I probably should play them an Ode tonight in the woods to get it out of my system.

Well, there was this guy who was always dressing traditionally and seemed to have leaves in his hair in the shrine my mom's side of the family takes care of. I always thought he was like... a male dryad or something because the shrine was to this HUGE tree. Now, I don't think so anymore. Won't grandfather be absolutely thrilled that all that he does is effectively true? Not that I'm sure he didn't doubt it because he is a priest. The spirit didn't like me too much. I think I only was ever inside the shrine perhaps three times and I hated being in there. It is kind of... well, I don't think I was welcome.
It is probably a good thing I never had a field trip or something to the Ise Shrine. Amaterasu I'm sure would not like the child of a foreign sun god on her premise!
I have Owl City stuck in my head.
