For kicks and giggles

So at the beginning of December, I bought a guitar.

I think I've wanted a guitar since my brother got an electric one when I was ten or eleven. But lately I had been really kinda craving a guitar.

I grew up playing piano and even though I hated practicing when I was younger, now I miss playing. Whenever I'm around a piano, I have to play it. I just do. It's kinda obnoxious but I can't help it. A guitar became that perfect instrument to lug around with me wherever we moved to.

Ben told me back in April, that he really wanted to buy me a guitar for my birthday but I had to do all the "footwork" and find out what I wanted.

....Eight months later...

I finally figured it out and found the beauty for a deal at $300 on Kijiji.
I bought it during the final few weeks of Ben's hardest semester. I played that thing every night and gradually taught myself chords and simple songs. It became kinda addicting actually.

So for Valentine's Day, I thought it would be sweet and super cheesy to write Ben a song. I loved playing around with chords and coming up with melodies. And I thought you guys might want to hear a song I wrote. Not Ben's Valentine, but another.

Be gentle with me. I'm still not very good at guitar...and have never been very good at singing. This is just for "kicks and giggles."





p.s. how many times has "kicks and giggles" been mentioned in this post??
