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.

Swallowed

I can barely drag myself away from Facebook and Twitter (mostly Twitter). I get so addicted to seeing certain people's tweets that I compulsively check my news feed.

Random: I went to the Natural History museum and Central Park yesterday. It was extremely nice and the park reminded me of home.

In other news, I've always been a person that has had dreams that I can mostly remember. In the past few weeks especially I've been having ridiculously vivid, numerous dreams. I started writing them down. From the past 5 nights, I'm up to 12 dreams. If only you knew what they were about...

One last thing before I go: 17 days until I go back home to Missouri for the summer!

Posting

You should see the stuff I write that doesn't get posted.

April

Okay, so today I'm just writing what has happened lately. Nothing exciting but I just realized it's been awhile.

2 days ago (that's right, April Fool's Day) was my birthday! I was a little worried that because I was away from my immediate friends and family that it wouldn't be that great. Luckily, it turned out to be fun. It was casual: just dinner with a few friends. But what really made my day was that the people that mean the most to me wished me a happy birthday (lame, I know).

This leads me to my next point. I mean what I'm about to say in a non-depressing way; I swear. Because I had low expectations for my birthday, anything that happened was an automatic plus. This is something I've been trying to do lately: Start with low expectations and then anything that happens is better. Weird.

2 days before my birthday I also ran into Ellie Goulding at urban outfitters. A pleasant surprise indeed.

Also, I've never been one of those people that died of happiness for summer but in the past few years I've become pretty damn fond of that season. And now that it's April that means that summer is so close I can taste it. Let's hope this summer lives up to my non-expectations ;)

And the good times just keep on coming

I would just like to say that I had an amazingly fun time with Amanda at the Bel-air Elementary school playground on Saturday night. Before we decided to be more than dumbasses and screw up a good thing together the next night, we laid on the slides and ran on the zip-line type thing. That's where I earned these little gems (which are now almost healed) :

Also, we have really gotten into Chevelle in the past few days which is ironic because we both had a preconceived notion that they were assholes (based off of what we've heard from other people/bands). However, this turned out not to be so true. I also hope we can patch things up with our other estranged friends before anything gets weirder, but that's an entirely different issue.

Hope this was interesting. If not, I don't care because I'm still just writing the things in my head.

Last Night's Concert

Last night, I went to see Janus, Middle Class Rut, and Chevelle with my sister Amanda and her husband Devon. It was cold waiting in line, but by the time we got inside, we were ready. Janus was fantastic. The new music is heavier and so intense. Middle Class Rut was weird but good. Chevelle was interesting. Amanda and I got yelled at by Pete because we were tired and yawning in the mosh pit. What's new though? We seem to always get yelled at by rock bands. Then we got to hang out with our guys in Janus afterwards. Good times. Can't wait for summer tour!

What a night.
