Gift to Jane, given at Christmas housesitting house; guitar plectrums and jack, 12:40 am 29th Dec

Jane. A best friend since Senior school (high school). Jane was always the more musical of my friends. Sometimes I used to get quite impatient with her at times, but secretly when it was caused by music; it was fuelled by my jealousy.Iwas the "academic one", but I longed to be able to produce beautiful sound, beautiful music naturally... not rehearsed and awkward like my own musical endeavours.

But I was young, and I wasn't so 'clued-in' about accpeting the wonders of difference and ability in others... I wanted all talent, not to settle for my own, which I never thought it was good enough...
