About Me

I'm a teenager (2009) from Illinois (USA) and I love music and art and some science. You can call me Gabriel or Gabe (he/him). My neocities account name is just "vocalise" I believe.

More specifically, I'm a viola and violinist (more so viola,) I enjoy listening to allll kinds of music- especially orchestral- and I draw as my main form of physical media. I like taking pictures on my digital camera, (well-funded) public transportation, taking walks to wherever, consuming queer media, journaling, and learning about all kinds of things. Just like my goat John Green, I'm greatly in favor of humans, but unfortunetly we do in fact do evil things that I wish we wouldn't. I hate the current US government administration deeply, ICE, MAGA, and all "phobias" against love and humanity (transphobia, sexism, etc.) can all burn and die!

I'm a big fan of nature and the environment and all that jazz. I need to get outside more (don't we all lol) but when the weather is nice, frolicking in a nearby meadow frequently takes place. I'm kind of a short guy, I'm a vegetarian, and I have pet chickens in my yard. That's all you really need to know.



I plan on having a youtube channel at some point to post whatever the heck I want and connect with more people on there. Untill then, here are some of my personal favorite youtubers/channels:

(I wanted add a little area for my thoughts, though I will probably move this to its own section or clean it up a bit later.) When you live in the midwest you are greatly subjected to the wishy washy climate. One day it will be 80°F and sunny, the next 30°F and snowing. Sometimes even in the same day. Around February I start feeling the true wrath of winter and my mental and physical well being decline significantly. Any day that is slighty warm is like an oasis of life for me, only for it to completely change the next day. The weather isn't something I can control, and I've always known that, but sometimes I wish I could. At the same time, I feel a lot of guilt about wanting the weather to be warmer, because I know that it's not supposed to be 60°F and rainy in January, but I love it. Global warming pisses me off but humanity pisses me off more so. Good night bro. English honors ahh writer over here.

IT IS RAINING, POURING, AND THIS OLD MAN IS NOT SNORING, I am very much awake. It's been raining all day which is awesome sauce. I think I accidentally semi-insulted a cool person on the internet unintentionally today. Sorry about that, I am but a wee sixteen-year-old. Also went to the library today with my dad to do our respective work stuff so that was fun. Uhhh it's currently 8:32 pm and I Still need to practice viola so I might be cooked tomorrow morning (as in I will be tired as freak. That does beg the question: when I am not tired as freak. Which is. Hah. Never. #Capitalism is probably resposible for this somehow. Kidding, maybe.) My friend just called me to ask whether or not I'm gonna play violin or viola for the next schorchestra rotation lol. (School orchestra.) For the past five-ish months I've just been playing violin at school because the music is way easy there anyway and I wanted to play the melody more often. How greedy of me. Ok goodnight queers and "straight" people. Kidding, sometimes.

Hello again to the one person consistently looking at this blog-website thingy. I am back. I'm currently eating some cherry cola tictacs that I got in Jolly Old England. There were many kinds of tictacs there that I haven't seen in the USA which is cool. London was awesome and I will absolutely be moving to Europe if all ties to home get cut. (Hopefully not, though. I'm just saying I would move there if all my friends, family, and future weren't in Chicagolandia.) The doors open the wrong way in Europe and the toilets are a bit strange but overall better than at home. I love the tube. Public transportation is so freaking beautiful over there. Booo tomato tomato, USA. I got an average of 20,000 steps a day so that show you how busy I really was. My feet hurt pretty bad, which wasn't too fun. The flight back was NINE hours because we flew over Greenland (probably to avoid squalls or something.) AnYwAy, I'm still alive and did not crash into the atlantic yet. If you would like to see some pictures I took on my digicam, go to my pinterest which should be linked on the main page.

You sit at your desk with the window open, letting in a warmth which you haven't felt for months. Outside you hear birds- sparrows- and the melancholic horn of a train passing through your town. Maybe the train is headed towards the city, like so many trains before it. The smaller trees and shrubs are green now, and there is april rain, just as promised. The sky is a usual blue, but this morning it was dark clouds all around with the occasional flash of lightning. Theoretically, it's warm enough to sleep with no clothes on, but you don't believe in that and settle for just a singular blanket and pyjamas instead. The world is rotating, new life is growing, but is it the life you want? Is it the life that should be? or is it nothing but an unwanted weed in a city of concrete. Dinner will be ready soon, just like yesterday, but is today truly the same? Birds can't really have a concept of time, they're only worried about survival. And so are you, really.

I haven't updated in a couple of days because I've actually (for once) been on that end of school grind. Maybe even more important, my youth symphony audition is on 30th of May and I really need to practice. (Though I have been practicing a LOT more than I usually do. I love having motivation.) I just had my first real job interview at the library today. If I get the job, I get more money. If I don't get the job, I have more free time over the summer. Win-win situation really. #stay optimistic.

Hola my people. I am currently in my last french class of high school and updating this website on my school issued ipad because I finished my exam with over an hour to spare. In about one week I have my big boy audition for youth symphony and I am scared. I am going to start gaslighting myself into being confident because I really need it. Most of my final exams are already in the grade book, and it's looking like I'm gonna finish with all A's this semester! :D (I just need my english teacher to not screw it all up.) This will be the first time in my high school career that I'm finishing with all A's, the past several semesters I've had only ONE stupid B and all A's. (Don't frick this up, Ms. B...) Anyway. Summer is here (basically).

Are you feeling lost?

Take the train home.
