With a name i've never chosen, i can make my first steps as a child of 25

School goes back tomorrow and i have 3 classes with a teacher nobody knows anything about... ha ha this can either be a really good or really bad thing. But other than dreading school, there isn't much going on here on this side of the world (country, city, state, whichever applies) Though i've been going through and editing the thousands of i-tunes songs that bridgette gave me over winter break and i stumbled upon this artists called sondre lerche. This guy is phenominal. His lyrics are really really simple, and as boring as i would usually find that, when he's singing it, you just get lost in the song. a rarity for me. Also, Julia Nunes. She's fabulous, fantastic, hilarious and about 20 bajillion other adjectives i'm at a loss to use to describe her. Brittany got me addicted to her. And she does this cover of "build me up, buttercup" and it makes me so happy. If i watch it everyday for the rest of the semester, i think all the stress will just flow right outta me.

So we're all waiting for the rest of the roommates to get back so we can spend the day at the movie theatre. I really want to see defiance and paul blart: mall cop. so far we agreed on paul blart, but i would rather go see defiance than bride wars. I am considering buying a video camera, just so i can make little video's to send to friends and show how my day is going and stuff like that... but i dunno... it might just be a waste of money, depending on how often i use it. Also i'm so sick and tired of my phone, i really want this new one t-mobile has called a Behold. I would have just dropped my parents plan and gone for my own, but all those activation fees and monthly fee's for minutes that i won't even come close to using turned me off. So i'll just get a new phone seeing as thats really my only problem right now. I could also use a new ipod seeing as this one has a shattered screen. But so long as it works, i guess there really is no need to replace it, yet.

But one thing that i am most excited about is that it is almost Spring!!! which means TOURS!!!! bands usually start hitting the road in spring after breaking out of the recording studios they took refuge in from the cold all winter. And one band i could not be happier to see will be Motion City Soundtrack. Because as much as people think warped tour sucks, you kinda can't help but want to go when its THE ONLY time you can make it to see THE SOUNDS when they decide to grace the US with their presence. They've been here like twice last year and both times i was way to fucking busy or had no way of getting there. Sucked for me. So this year, my goal is to hit atleast 1 show a month. And i'll probably just spend my friday's at the Roxy or the Troubador. Doesn't matter who's playing, i'll be able to check out some new and upcoming bands before the rest of society has a chance to get their hands on them and change them. So who wants to donate to my ticket fund? ha ha 

Ok so i said i'd be leavng song lyrics. And i love this song. It's by motion city soundtrack and i think it's one of the cutest music videos i've ever seen. So long all my nearly beloved. You'll hear from me soon... ha ha happy martin luther king day. Or just happy monday to everyone outside of the US

I'll get lost, messed up and bored when I'm alone too long
I can't sleep, function or eat when I'm not with someone
Late last fall, she ended it all and moved to who-knows-where
Just like that, she vanished and packed and never even called

You feel a certain sense of synergy between yourself and me
A kind of macabre and somber Wonder-twin kind of harmony
What if it was you?
You that I needed all along
I felt like a fool,
Kicking and screaming and pretending we were wrong

Let's get wrecked on pop tarts and sex and see the Taj Mahal
Let's save birds from Prince William Sound and skateboard through the mall
Let's fight crime with mangoes and limes and join the PGA
Let's win big with every spin but hurry, I can't wait

Do you spend a fortune on those late-night prepaid television scams
In search of the perfect blend of steak knife and non-stick frying pan?
What if it was you?
You that I needed all along
I felt like a fool
Thinking we were completely wrong
It seemed like a dream
A beautiful screen
That echoed forever
And made us not afraid to feel a thing

And after it ends
We'll try to be friends
They say that what doesn't kill us makes us who we are

All this time and everything's changed but I still feel the same
All good things eventually end and get washed down the drain
What a disaster it would be if you discovered that I cared
A little too much for friends but not enough to share

What if it was you?
You that I needed all along
I felt like a fool
Now that I'm sure that I was wrong
It had to be you.
It had to be you.
It had to be you.
I knew it was you
