[musical milestone] *AHHHH!!*

So I have wanted to be able to accompany myself on guitar for YEARS, instead of depending on other people all the time...

I FINALLY DID IT!!!!!

I have learned one of my favorite songs -- Patty Griffin's "Making Pies" -- and I can play it, and sing it, at the same time...and without feeling very embarrassed.

This is an incredibly simple thing to some people, I know...but I can't believe it's actually finally happened. All these recent (work)nights of staying up til 1:30 in the morning because that's the only time I have to practice are finally paying off.

one day. watch out, world ;P
