Kaja Runa

I find myself wondering if I have something to say

About Me

Kaja means 'echo' and Runa means 'to flow'.

..I'm an English poet/MC/Politics and Philosophy graduate/soul searcher/backpacker/lawyer-to-be... take your pick! I'm straight up, to the point, and an open book in terms of- I'll let you know where I stand on things, if something is not gravy or if something is giving me good vibes. I start law school next year.. until then... I'm a writer. Everything is a potential muse. Everything is a potential lesson. Everything is a potential new juncture in your life. I'm not here to judge anyone, pretty much everyone is groovy by me. I'm just want to live a life that I can look back on with a giggle, some pride and a little bit of wonder.

After law school starts, life's likely to get quite busy for a stretch, so I'm making the most of my time till then - so any performances, recordings, jam sessions, gigs, events... let me know!


Bo·he·mi·a /bo?'himi?/

a district inhabited by persons, typically artists, writers, and intellectuals, whose way of life, dress, etc., are generally unconventional or avant-garde.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/21/2007
Band Website: kajaruna.blogspot.com
Band Members: Me
Influences: People, Experience, Fantasy, Music..


Sounds Like: Spoken Word
Music
As with everyone, depends on the mood. Love The Kooks, Lauryn Hill, Common, Goo Goo Dolls, Nirvana, Erykah Badu, Snow Patrol, Goldfrapp... alongside hundreds of others, mainly independent or less known artists whose CDs I've been given or have collected on my travels - a lot of Cuban and Spanish music, Acoustic, Jazz, Soul, and of course, spoken word.
Reading My parents used to have to come in and force me to stop reading with a torch under my duvet. You would have thought that would've made academic reading a breeze, but no... Anyway, I love reading everything- from a passing thought to a novel of experiences. Obviously, I enjoy hearing the spoken word performed but I hope my Sunday afternoons will always be spent quietly, barefoot and reading. (afternoons because now, being a tad older than torch-under-duvet, life usually leads morning to be a recovery time from the night before. Being barefoot now is also, more often than not, a perplexing result of said previous night, rather than a bohemian choice of existence...)
