I've made an important realisation with the help of a rather unorthodox source, a psychic. He asked me some questions that really made me start to think, made me reevaluate things a little bit. As a result, I now understand something. Something very important that was eluding me time and time again. He helped me understand why I fell in love.
He predicted, much to my chagrin, that unrequitted love will be somewhat of a common thing in my life. That I have so much love to give, but I won't recieve it back the way I will need it. But, he assured me that I am going to be strong, and that I'm going to get through it.

On a slightly brighter note, I have chosen some gifts that I will be delighted to give this holiday season. I have all but my mother's gift picked out. The piece de resistance of my gifts is still a secret to the masses, but I will, my faithful readers, tell you this: it isn't for anyone in my family, but someone whom I regard much higher, it is something that will be priceless to this person, and bring them closer to an idol. I would consider this to be possible the best gift that I will give. The thought and effort I put into this gift is undeniable. I'm 100% sure that the giftee shall shed at least one tear upon seeing what awaits them under the gaily wrapped parcel.

And this would be Part 3.

Tuesday night I went to see Sarah Slean. Incedentaly, my first concert. She was preforming at the Horowitz Theatre, on the UofA campus, I had never been before. Caeli was my escort for the evening. I had never been so moved by music before. Her presence was.. indescribable, but, if you've been reading this for sometime, you'll know that I'm going to try anyway. She was barefoot, in an emerald green satin slip dress. Her auburn hair glinted in the stage lighting. She's so tiny, it's almost impossible to envision such an emotional voice coming from such a petite vessel. She flitted onto the stage, seeming almost shy and bashful. She reminded me of a fairy.

Her set list was as follows:

Weight
Lucky Me
Blue Parade
Universe
Me and Jerome
Pie Jesu
Mary
Duncan
Lilac Wine (George, I know you'd recognize this as a Nina Simone cover)
Eliot
Out in the Park
Pilgrim
Book Smart, Street Stupid
Sweet Ones
Bank Accounts
Playing Cards with Judas
Abide with Me (Hymn)

During Mary, they back lit her, and she looked so beautiful. I found this picture from the concert during that number. There is so much more to write, but I'm not sure where to begin.
She was charming and funny. I felt she was really making a connection with the audience, a few comments/questions were called to her, and she replied to them with good humour. I found Pie Jesu the most moving piece she did. No piano, just her singing. Beautiful. It was certainly an event to remember, and the next time that she is here, I will be making sure that I have the best seat in the house.
