seventeen

:: I wish I was good at singing. That is, I wish I was good at solo singing. It's no secret that I have unrealistic dreams of being on Broadway.

:: I wish that I could compose music mostly because it blows my mind on a daily basis that this and this and this just came out of someone's brain.

:: I wish that I could write good fiction. Or just have a window into a writer's mind for a day or two to see their genius firsthand.

"I'm the greatest star . . .

I am by far. But no one knows it."

I live a secret life in my car when I'm driving. Broadway. Belting out the hits with the greats. Streisand, Menzel, RENT, Les Mis, etc. In my car I am invincible. No inhibitions. No one can hear me, but me. Broadway. My ultimate dream job (if only I had the voice). So for now, I'll keep my steering wheel and air vent audience. They seem to like me okay. They haven't complained yet.

"A Steinway is a Steinway and there is nothing like it in the world."    Arthur Rubinstein

Played one of these today. The Model S. Five feet long. About ten-thousand times its length in price. Maybe in ten to fifteen years' time my childhood dream of owning one can come true. 

Time to start saving my pennies.

hallows + horcruxes

"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on Earth should that mean that it is not real?"

professor dumbledore | the deathly hallows

So even though it was in my head, my dreams last night involving running through the corridors of Hogwarts searching for horcruxes could turn out to be real, right? Right? Maybe if I wish hard enough, that Hogwarts acceptance letter will finally come.
