stalkers + unidentified numbers.

What would you do if you received a random text from an unidentified number that read, "i know you think I'm arrogant, but I hope to prove you wrong one of these days."

well my friends here's what I did...
because I didn't know who this was, I racked my brain for possible people i could think were arrogant. i'm the kind of person who'd rather get straight to the point, so I called the phone number. This happened to be someone who asked me out a year ago! arg! I told him i had no idea who he was, so he kept repeating himself and as soon as i realized it I immediately hung up the phone, mid way through the conversation!
Yes my friends I have hung up the phone on this guy 3 times in the last year. I finally put him in my phonebook as "don't answer." ARG!!!!!!!!!

then I received a text saying, "you are so much in denial it's killing you!"

the only thing I was in denial about is how crazy he is, thinking about it now I was convince he was kind of normal (obviously, since I gave him my phone number).
ARG!!!!!!!!!!! people, if a girl tells you to leave her alone, hangs up the phone on you several times, and the last time you talk to her she doesn't know who you are, take it as a sign- "not interested"
goodnight.
p.s. I broke my phone so I don't have your number anymore, if you are a friend of mine please text me and let me know who you are so I can store you in my new phone.

I just had caffine for the first time in months, i'm so jittery! It was not worth it!

This week has been so productive and extremely creative. I'm really excited about a few things,

Sorry I don't have much to say to you all, the week got the better of me! but I want you to know some things:

1. We are going to the soap box derby on saturday! come if you want it'll be at red rocks.
2. Going to the driving range may be my only piece of sanity left on this planet.

4. The piano I tore apart is now back together and a lovely shade of blue.
5. all i did today was study, study, study.. I'm tired....

So if you need some designing done, send me an email, i'm now taking orders. I'm also looking for cs4 so if anyone wants to trade it for something, please do let me know.

... today...

i received some data today from i-tunes and apparently people are buying my music in japan.

ha ha.

well i have to run but i thought i'd mention it.

love letters.

today i started a new project. It has something to do with love letters, so I don't want to tell you the full story but check out this hilarious love letter I found today!!!??!! ha ha.



It's amazing to read a bunch of love letters, you see the most intimate sides of people. As I was thinking about it today I remembered the time i was flying to LA last summer. There was this odd guy who got on the plane and sat 2 rows behind me. When I got off the plane I walked all the way down the terminal got my luggage, and waited for 15 minutes for a bus to pick me up. As soon as I stood up to get on the bus he ran up to me tapped me on the shoulder and handed me this paper rolled up with a piece of toilet paper wrapped around it! and then he ran away without saying a single word! I read the letter and it was a very creepy poem, talking about how he was only 2 rows behind watching everything I did!!! I laughed histerically for a good 15 minutes with my friend Bethany smedly. and yes, I kept it just for the entertainment value.

well I'll keep you posted on this project... and if you have any amazing love letters please email them to me! (andreaballmusic@gmail.com)

ships.

today I recorded a piano piece i wrote for a documentary. I named it ships, It'll be the intro to the movie. It's been a very creative day I wrote music, recorded music, practiced music with a band and almost got to participate in a sing-along with 3 little kids. I had so much fun. All of this has inspired a whole new musical project which we have entitled "shipsters". Yes we will have a bit of pirate and a bit of skinny jean to entertain all of you. I think we will be remixing the sad piano piece i wrote into a faster, electronic beat, djish song. So watch out people. ha ha.

well all day today I talked about going to south africa this winter. and this is where I want to stay:
cape town.... it may happen we'll see. The snow may kill me so I've got to get out of here!


In real news, I am going on a short tour to San Fran in November. This is so great! if you are out in California come see us, I'll post the dates as soon as it's all settled.

Good bye denver, I'm going to go put on another sweater and see what's happening in the city!

tee shirts

here's a peek.
I'll be selling them on the 18th at the Walnut room, be there!
my favorite is the I heart sailors shirt.


I'll have some other colors with different sayings, including one saying "danger". I'm also hoping to have some bags and a secret free gift to give you all. Ok see you there.

bye ladies and gents.

being seven again.

This week I've thought a lot about what it was like being a kid. Mainly because I started tutoring second graders. Right after I started thinking about being 7 someone I went to second grade with emailed me, so random! I'm tutoring this one little boy who told me all he wanted was to make friends this year, oh it was so cute and sad.

cowboys and indians!

does anyone remember those horses on a stick? you know, it was just a head, I wish I could find the one I had!


well this is all really a plug for my friend drew, he took these pics so if you need pictures for your business, wedding or creative endeavor you can contact him. he is a great photographer, his email is moviemaker57@gmail.com. Plus we've decided that this will be our new musical project it's called cowboys and indians. We have 3 little kids under the age of 7 as our back up singers. ha ha.

if any of you want to join we are going to watch this movie this week!


peace. out.

must fly now.

I want you all to know that I have an obsession with flying. I have a friend right now who is dating a pilot and I was so mad that she gets to fly. I told her to get me flying immediately. Nicole if you are reading this tell lance that I'm patiently waiting.

to my lovely friends, sarah and kate, I can't wait to celebrate you!!!! mmm hmmm.


on another note, I just got back from race for the cure. it was awesome, there was this really old man dancing so hard to a Modest Mouse song! he was breaking it down! I think he was about 80, good times. Oh and while I was there someone from ohio came up to me and asked me if I was andrea ball... hilarious, apparently I have fans in Cleveland.

back at it.

I'll be singing some new songs with a full band, come to the show! tickets are on pre-sale now click
here to buy now

well kids here's my record collection... sometime you'll have to come over and listen, drink wine and enjoy...


so i'm back at making tee shirts- I'll have a bunch to sell at the show on the 18th. I have to love this machine............


well kids. I have to say we had a crazy man hanging out at our front door all evening. Sarah came in and started going off about how he cursed at her, saying every curse word you could in a row! He was mad because she shut our gate so he couldn't come in. life is so crazy, it wears some people down I guess.

Goooooooodbye.

santos and the piano.

it's finally gutted! I have so much more work to do but I wanted you to see it in process. I'll be painting it later this week and adding the front parts back on- check it out!



I'm very happy about getting this done, it was a pain! there are so many stories I can tell you but because it's late all I have to say is at one point in the process we risked our lives due to possible explosion, I cause marital unrest between my parents, chaos ensued and their loud yelling mixed with my car alarm going off and not being able to find my keys made for one heck of a time! I'm so glad we all made it out in one piece still liking each other. My parents crack me up, I came back with some help to pick up the piano and my mom was sitting in the dark with a flash light trying to dismantle it for me- she is 62 and seeing this was so funny, with her little wrench in hand! ha ha! Sometimes she's just trying to be a little too helpful.
trying to find someone to haul the insides away was another pain! but luckily I found this random guy on craigs list. His name is santos and he charged almost nothing.

i have to go to sleep- I haven't slept in 3 nights. I have insomnia for some reason. GOODNIGHT!
