tess parks: February 2009

have mercy!

i love my family so much. i'm so lucky to live in london and still be able to be a plane ride away from people who will never leave me. i have no idea who this girl is anymore. looking back to a few years ago i honestly can't believe i made it here. i could have been such a different personnnnnnn.

i'm going through one of those really good phases right now where i'm totally inspired and hopeful for the future and new music sounds amazing and i feel like going outside and walking around and listening to oasis really loud and singing in the shower and all of that shit. it feels so nice to just be able to appreciate what's been before and then accept it and move on. definiteeeeeeelllyyyyyyyy.

toronto in 2 days. i'm going to record a bunch of new songs in my parent's bathroom and hopefully everything will sound reminiscent of nothing and nowhere by emily haines because that song makes her sound trapped in a little tunnel and her voice just sounds like fire.

i loveeeeeeeee

build something build a better place and call it home even if it means nothing you'll never ever feel that you're alone.

the thing i love about my dad is that he just knows exactly what to do. this morning at the hotel to wake isabella and i up he blasted "it's getting better (man!!)" by oasis on his ipod. i don't know what i've been doing in london without my family. they're so incredible. even if i wasn't related to them i would still feel so compelled to know them.

yesterday was bad so dad made me tea and ran me a bubble bath and put on oasis and got me cookies and juice and then we all went out for indian food on brick lane. after dinner we walked around and we walked past the old blue last and the lead singer of klaxons was just chilling on the street talking to some girls.

i can't wait to go home in a week. i don't know where i belong but i know there are some people i just belong with and that's the most comforting thing in the world.

the original ryan brown

woke up a little bit hungover and then went up to kayleigh's and she made me tea and gave me biscuits and then we went to mcdonalds and i got whiskey coca cola and kayleigh got a dog toy in her happy meal and then ryan brown came over and we had a nice afternoon talk and a photoshoot and then i went to trafalgar square where i returned the dress i wore last night out but couldn't afford to keep and then walked around and took photos, got back on the bus. watched some sex and the city and drank some vitamin water. then got on a bus with kayleigh to waterloo and then we went for a walk along the thames with wade, stopped at a pub for some half pints and then walked to st. paul's and got a free ride on the 100 bus and went home and listened to bob dylan in my cold room. the end.
