Get Some

It's been awhile since my last post.

I'm finally back in lovely Missouri and I'm trying not to take any of it for granted. So far I've been home for 13 days and I've already had (literally) a few of the best moments of my life. More on that later.

While my sister and I (im)patiently await a new Sick Puppies tour, we are busy finding a rebound band. It turns out, that band is Chevelle. After the awkwardness that was St. Patty's day with Janus, we decided to check out our new friends in Chevelle at the Blue Note in Columbia. First we had to sell the Incubus tickets for the same night that we had already bought...which was a problem in itself.

Me and my sister at our home (concert club).

5/22 eventually arrived and we ended up having an absolutely wretched time in line all day. Luckily, our Aussie merch girl Hayley (Sam's wife) came through for us with VIP passes. During the show, Dean was talking to me through the microphone about his refrigerator that I broke...after the show, we ended up hanging out with the Chevelle guys on the bus. Instead of describing all that happened there, I'll just sum it up to: Peter sang and danced a broadway tune for us because we are sisters; and we ended up walking off the bus with some bananas, Easy Cheese whiz, and monster energy from the bus cupboards. (Thanks Dean).

This is me. I look more than rough. Rough pit. Long night. Don't care. Just call me DEADPAN.

Right now, Amanda and I are painstakingly planning out our summer to go ahead and do a tour (if possible), KV13, and Vegas. Maybe we'll even finally make it to San Bernardino. Who knows?

Also, we saw Janus. So over it. #JS #DS

Sidenote: Although I didn't directly reference it in this, fate played a huge part in this day. If you don't believe in fate then you're an idiot. Seriously. All I'm saying is "Get Some."

Status Overload

I have so many things that I want to post as a status, so I'll just post them here.

Facebook can fuck off. First it made me have a camera and messenger app that I didn't want. Now my chat is retarded.

I'm finally going home in 3 days. And I can't fucking wait.

My Darkest Days can just suck a big one.

I want to post the lyrics to every song that I've listened to in the past 20 minutes. (Family System, Get Some, Shameful Metaphors, Antisaint, Point #1)...speaking of this, I highly recommend watching the Chevelle: Live from the Norva DVD if you haven't yet.

Here's one of the many you should watch: (5:34-5:38)

Jamais Vu

I've had 3 more dreams (that I can remember) since my last post. They were more than great. Finals are coming up and I'm freaking out. I'm so ready for summer and concerts and road trips. I love living in NYC but I'm ready to head home.

Here are some pics from the Natural History Museum/Central Park day:

The skyline through the trees

Weeping willows have to be my favourite trees.

Anyway, right now I'm listening to Get Some by Chevelle. Such a great song. I'm patiently waiting for my laundry to finish downstairs. Then it'll be a fascinating evening of studying intermixed with Youtube concert video breaks. 

Happy May! I guess I'll also throw out a "may the 4th be with you" just for shits and giggles.
