what i did last summer by sara keirsten quin.
last summer i got so burnt that i could not sleep with sheets or blankets for weeks.
my mom said that was extremly irresponsible and explained skin cancer to me over the phone. the burn faded; so did the concerns for my skin. i rehersed for hours and hours in a tiny dimly lit smelly room off of hastings street in vancouver. i remember rob eating eggs and hot sauce and christmas lights burnt out hanging loosely from the ceiling. i started puting my hair up in a pony tail when i would sun tan on the beach because i was horrified to discover the tan line my fringe was causing. i ate a lot of ice cream.
ok, so that is all i remember from last summer. today i want to write a to do list about this summer.
what i hope to do this summer by sara quin.
i hope to get a tan in my new bikini somewhere in the city of montreal.
however, for the time being, while the rain drenches the city, i am recording new songs.
i hope to go to quebec city for the first time. tegan is a liar, i do not know french or spanish, and its my goal to learn more then three words this summer of each language.
i think it would be nice to cut someones front lawn at some point. im sure my mom will support this when i go home to calgary to visit. once when i was cutting the lawn in jr high i mowed over the extension cord. that was weird. cutting grass is very summer to me. i dont have grass where i live. id like to though.
i used to get nervous to play summer festivals but this summer i am really looking forward to them. why. i dont know. maybe because they always serve hot dogs back stage. and we get to ride around in golf carts. i really enjoyed the shows we played in europe. when i was 15 i never imagined that i would be in spain or demark playing music. so i hope i keep having moments like that this summer.
i never use phone cards anymore.
it seems i have no one to call.
my mom is really ok with me calling collect. there are a lot of protests and marches near my house but i can never understand what is happening because the signs are in french.
my balcony is not very big.
i wish the sun was out.
