I sneak in a bit of rubbish keyboard playing nearly everyday, and while lately I've been on a Sam Smith kick, something tugged on me to break this piece out. (Despite some impossible chords in this arrangement.) Give it listen if you've never heard it before. #theprayer 🙏🌍🌎🌏 "Sognamo un mondo senza piú violenza. Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza. Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino simbolo di pace, di fraternitá." -- "We dream of a world with no more violence. A world of justice and hope. Everyone gives a hand to his neighbor a symbol of peace, of fraternity."

(And hello, friends. Yes, my first true post in years is because I fan edited my ship into an HD Sam Smith video. Zero shame.)

I just had the absolute HONOR of meeting the magnificent and inspirational @LaverneCox. My voice wobbled and my eyes teared while I thanked her for being so strong and brave, for stepping up and being a voice and inspiration. She so kindly agreed to a teary selfie with me. Goodness, I'm still shaking and crying. Thank you so much, Ms. Cox. 💜❤️💛💚💙 #lavernecox #CSUF #inspiration (at Titan Gym)

I've been waiting years for the full-length film Hoje Eu Quero Voltar Sozinho | The Way He Looks. After the beautiful showing with @musicallycj the cast, director, and producer were available!! #hojeeuquerovoltarsozinho #thewayhelooks (at Laemmele Playhouse 7)

Got my IDW Star Trek: Khan No. 1 in the mail today! Signed and mailed from New Zealand by none other than cover artist @paulshipper. So excited, eeeeek! #startrek #idw #evenmyhandwrittenaddressisgorgeous #benedictcumberbatch

San Diego and Steam Powered Giraffe Ask me about San Diego 1 year and 12 days ago, and I would have told you that it's about 2 hours south of my house. My aunt lives there with a house full of dogs. San Diego is where Shamu lives. Ask me about San Diego today, and I'd still tell you all those things plus more. San Diego is home to Steam Powered Giraffe. San Diego is where the world-famous Zoo is. San Diego is where I have so many fond and perfect memories. (Shout out to Shannon, Charlene, and Charlene for getting Michael Reed to sneak up on me last year!) While SPG isn't at the zoo, and someone else takes the Front Street Stage, I'm still so happy to be here. If not for SPG, I'd never have wanted to come here, and now it's one of my most favorite places. Although I never saw them there, Balboa Park stirs fond feels in me as I pass by. Everything in San Diego is a trillion times more special to me. For all this and so much more, I thank Steam Powered Giraffe. P.S. It's my first SPG Fanniversary! (It was the 16th, but who's counting.) I didn't plan to come to San Diego, but this random day trip to the Zoo has allowed me to rediscover this place and celebrate! Also! See the bottom photo? I spent three evenings last summer upon that post, enjoying and filming. I also met the lovely Paige there on her birthday! We shared that pole, and I nearly died as Bunny sang "Honeybee" to Paige for her birthday.

Cheesecake swirl brownies! 100% from scratch.

Iron Man 3!!

First hand-scooped ice cream sandwich ever. #dripp

Kiyo's sorta scruffy.

Muslim Student Association was offering #henna tattoos! I can't ever do real ones, but I love henna.

Bought myself a bunch of sweet pea flowers. Flowers always make me feel great, even if I buy them for myself. They smell delicious!
