Even though I haven't submitted anything in over 3 months I didn't put myself on hiatus. Guess I should have.
My excuse was exams, mainly and after they stopped I had a bunch of stuff that stopped me relaxing (including my first paid harp engagement and various other musical commitments; including grade 5 theory).
Most of my creative energy has been channeled writing music rather than poetry lately. Many of the the song's lyrics are the poems that you know and *cough* love (ha. I wish). I am determined there will be recordings eventually but I cannot say when. However there will be new poetry posted in the next few weeks including one piece that has been in the bank for almost a year now. You may even be seeing some... PROSE *shocked gasp* if I can get round to it.
Well I must go back to attempting to play Britten's Interlude on the harp now. It's a bitch but it's one of my 'Dream Pieces' so I'm going to try to stick with it. If I manage to master it then all these hours of cursing and banging my head on the harp in frustration will be worth it.
Ta!

And while I'm here I thought I would share with you a section of a marvelous book called "How to be Right" by James Dellingpole that made me laugh. This book is a "ritous romp through everything that's wrong with modern Britain and its dark forces of PC." Here is what was put for the musician Bono.
"Bono is at a U2 concert and he asks the crowd for some quiet. Slowly, to rapt silence from the audience, he begins clapping his hands and says into the microphone: "Every time I clap my hands a child in Africa dies." A voice from the audience pipes up:
"Well, fucking stop it then.""

On a less happy note last week has been Christened the week of epic phail. Notice the ph. I attempted to undertake my grade 5 harp exam and my year 11 mocks at the same time. I unwisely did almost no revision for the mocks so I could focus on my harp exam. I then messed up the harp exam the consequence being I have now failed both. Clever Julia. I have however decided not to be upset about the harp exam until I get the results on the off chance the the examiner might have been deaf. There is also the mocks that didn't require revision that I still have a chance of performing decently in, such as maths which I was worried about but today I found out I got a high B which made me happy because it means I'm on my way to getting my target grade which is an A. So things aren't so bad.

I am also re-reading the best book in the world. This book is one of the things that defines who I am and what I want out of life. Has anyone read it?

Love to everyone, especially dead-starfish who for reasons we both know I am very pleased with at the moment.
You were the only one to get it without prompting Charlie my love! More than I ever expected of anyone!

Woah.
I have retified the situation however and have posted two new poems, and intend to post many more in the near future. Please check out and comment on Silverweed, it was written very differently to my usual style and I would love to hear people's oppinions.

On a completely unrelated topic, it's only 1 week and 4 days until UchiaTsukiko and I go to Japan! I have been going on an on about this trip for over a year and now the time has come I am feeling a combination of being really excited and scared sh*tless. Excited because we will have the time of our lives, scared because I don't feel that my Japanese has progressed much further than the "hello my name is" stage and in less than 2 weeks I will be alone in a Japanese family, hopefully not offending anyone too severely with my ignorance. Wish me luck, you can be sure that I will tell you all about it when I get back!

~embraceimperfections~

And yes the mood button is stuck. Relief is definitely NOT one of the emotions I am feeling right now.

While lying on a beach I had the revalation that is the title of my journal. He is you know. But not for much longer! HA HA HA HA HA

So now I am home, attempting to compose music on my harp and hopelessly bashing my head at the wall because I have no idea how even to begin doing this stupid drama coursework. So I will ignore it and post all the pretty pictures that were the fruits of my trip.

love to everyone especially deadstarfish who I can't thank enough for taking me on an awesome holiday and putting up with me for 2 weeks!

Oh why do you hate me mood button? The stupid thing STILL won't let me change from relief. It's been stuck like this since May!

Because I have promised my friend who is leaving the choir that I will become fluent in stargate by the time she comes back to visit us.
The mood button hates me and will not let me change! It's been stuck on relief since I finished my music GCSE and that was in May.
Luffles to everyone, enjoy my gallery!

I would like to take a moment to mention a friend of mine. This friend is definitely the best poet I know personaly (her only possible rival being Yneis). Without her I doubt I would have started to write poems in my spare time. I owe her a great debt. Her poems continue to be a source of inspiration to me and I still aspire to be a poet like her- although I doubt I ever will! The day before yesterday I finally convinced her to join deviantart- and now here she is, and we can all enjoy her gift! Her user name is Schattenblum and if you appreciate good poetry I urge you to check out her gallery.
In my oppinion her best poems are Ainoko [link] Redemption [link] Broken Mirror [link] and Masquerade [link]
Love to all of you!

Shit. I haven't posted a "real" poem since lies and in between (maybe if and two sides of a spectrum don't count since I wrote those in under 15 minutes) and that was in late March!
We have to change that then don't we...

48. Personality? : how can you describe a personality in a few words?

50. Clothing style? : most of the time nothing special, just things I think look good on me and I feel comfortable in. I do occasionaly dress Goth though, and then there are the pretty dresses I play harp in…

51. Room? : Cluttered but still reasonably tidy ~embraceimperfections http://embraceimperfections.deviantart.com/journal/17710456/ http://embraceimperfections.deviantart.com/journal/17710456/ Sun, 06 Apr 2008 06:23:50 PDT The end is coming. What more proof do you need?
Anyway my gallery is looking very pretty atm because my four most recent deviations are Photos. This is abit misleading however because I am first and foremost a poet and photography is just something I do on the sideline.
Back to school and on Tuesday and the dreaded MUSIC GCSE is looming. INPENDING DOOM! I am so unbelievablely shitted. It was a truly maschochistic (spelling?) decision to apply to do it one year early... but at least I can blame my music teacher for picking me. I do not deserve to do this. The only reason I got though the audition is because people saw my harp and were like WOOOO SHINY and let me in. And now I am going to fail. I will probaly not be on DA until the dreaded event has taken place, which is in the middle of may, so sorry everyone if I neglect you for a while.
Everyone send me good luck vibes!

Seriously one of the best nights of my life. Tuomas threw his seaty towel into the audience and I ACTUALLY TOUCHED IT!!! But someone else won it in the end. I am so not a grupee. I'm completely knackered now though me, dead-starfish and UchiaTsukiko got back at some weird hour in the morning and then I had to get up ridiculously early to play the harp in church (i got lost and made half of it up but no one noticed). Could the clocks have picked a dumber time to go forward? I think not.
Quote Marco Hietala on introducing "Whoever brings the Night": "Its Saturday night so just remember- use rubber children." He is awesome.
I also have to comment on the fact that Annette has a FRINGE and her accent is hilarious. I love her though.
dead-starfish and UchiaTsukiko- I love you guys! Concert buddies forever!
Yneis- I'm so sorry I couldn't invite you. Love you loads too!

Don't get me wrong, I love snow but this walk the only decent snow we've had all winter and it should have happened at a sensible time like me birthday. Not Easter. I was going to write a poem about snow and how the melting of it reminds us that nothing is here to stay but my friend Brad beat me to it and did a good job of it too. Here it is: [link]

OMG CHARLY AND ALEX!!!
5 DAYS UNTILL WE GO AND SEE NIGHTWISH!!!
if you 2 aren't pissing yourselves with excitement my thought police will come and get you! (I know I have been reading about Communist regimes waaayyy too much).

Wonderful host family, fun job and a week off from real life, which is always good. I was there for work experience and I was in a kindergarten with lots of little German kiddies which was good because they didn't care about the awful state of my German. Anyways I kind of rebelled against the total immersion idea and wrote some stuff (in English obviously) while I was there which I will post when I have it perfected .
It's my Birthday tommorow. 15. Old enough to get married in many countries. Ouch. Birthdays are not always good for me. Its funny, I jump at the oppotunity to sing or play solo on stage but the thought of everyone at school making a fuss of me makes me cringe. My friends know this which is why they are going to make a big deal of it. I like Birthdays AT HOME with my parent making a fuss about me and no one else, but oh well I know my friends mean well.

It's only a month until me and dead-starfish go and see nightwish! WOOOOOOOOOO!!! (check out her gallery especially if you like FMA, its really good!)

Christmas holidays would be alot better if i didn't have to make bacon sandwiches for my little brother and myself... stupid neglectful parents.
They are alright sometimes though. They are letting me go and see Nightwish next march, even though its in Birmingham and my mum reckons I'm going to get stabbed.
Also if anyone reads my poem called respite they will think i'm very intelligent about things like greek mythology & classical music which is not true. I only know about the furies because I was a demented child and liked the crying blood thing and "music for a while" is about the only thing I know by purcell so yeah.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

I don't have much right to be here, i like art but I can't say its an obsession and I'm not that good so don't expect that many drawings on here from me.

But I am an otaku (anime fangirl) and I noticed the Fan Fiction section on here so expect loads of crazy crack pairings coming from my warped imagination. My favourite animes are FMA (RoyxEd) and hostclub (Twincest) so if you like them WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

xxxjuliaxxx xxxembraceimperfectionsxxx

KATIE I'VE DONE WHAT YOU WANTED WILL MY BABIES LIVE NOW???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
