Sing me a lullaby, a love song, a requiem.

In my choir, FCCC, we're singing this song called "Sing Me to Heaven." It's so beautiful, but I only just now got the meaning of the lyrics. Here's the song "Sing Me to Heaven" and the Lyrics. Like the stages of life through song; comfort me, a lullaby; love me, a love song; sing me to heaven, a requiem.

I love choir music, I really do. Singing is honestly my favorite thing to do. I love being able to express myself though music, and getting really involved in a piece. I don't like solos though, it's just too nerve-wracking. When I want to sing, I want to be loving it, not worried i'm a little off or not. Being in a choir gives me that freedom while still making me work hard to hone my voice. I don't think i'll ever find a choir program just like the FCCC. Now that I think about it, i've given literally half my life to the choir, and i've adored every moment of it. There were perhaps one or two times over the 8 years when I didn't enjoy being at rehearsal. We are given so many amazing opportunities, the whole program is just so beautiful. I'm going to miss my choir so much in college.

Updates

I really don't have anything too interesting to say today. I've been busy as usual. I had my last Broadway choir concert yesterday, and had a blast completely rocking out in the back row to the Bye Bye Birdie songs, and I really had a great time. My mom was away this weekend in vermont celebrating her 50th birthday 2 years late with a bunch of her friends, so there was no one to record the concert, but I wish there was. I would have thoroughly embarrassed myself, and loved every minute of it. Speaking of my mom being away, it was sometimes quite horrible. My Dad is just....not even. We got into a couple screaming fits, as usual, but normally I just consent not to talk to him at all. It's so much easier that way. He's just impossible, really.
My mom brought me back Moose Plop from Vermont. =D Its marshmallows covered in chocolate to look like moose poop. It's delish.
I can't believe that vacation is only a week away, and Valentine's day/Chinese New Year as well are on the 14th. My plan is to get roses for a certain fabulous someone who did the same for me, and to maybe have a party. Emily might come down too. It's all in the planning stages, but I'm looking forward to a good vacation.
Oh, and I started an account at formspring. Basically you can ask me any question anonomously. I guess it's like honesty box but but public. http://www.formspring.me/rosabelle
