a piece of you for a piece of me.

this rain is making me les miserables. thanks mother nature, but a few days of straight rain was enough. now bring on the sunny spring weather!!

lets see, what is new?! this past weekend i went home with chris. it is so fanatic just being a complete couch potato sometimes. despite my super intense allergy attack on sunday, it was an extremely relaxing and needed weekend. going home now feels like a mini vacation. i dont sleep in my own bed, im allowed to sleep as late as i want, i have dinners cooked for me and i get to go out to nice restaurants with two people i truly care about. not to mention, my mother acts like my own personal assistant. im pretty sure her goal whenever i arrive is to fatten me up by offering endless amounts of goodies. of course, right when i decide to go on my "anti-sweets diet". ah wells.

in other news, i am EXTREMELY excited for the month of may. ive been going on a concert ticket purchasing binge today. i miss that feeling. steeping into a venue knowing for a fact that i am going to have a spectacular time watching one of my most favorite bands play their hearts out on stage. its so strange to think that the time of my life that i was an epic concert junkie was when i was in college. totally broke but somehow always rummaged up enough cash to see a show. i dont know if its because ive weeded out the bands that were "fads" for me at the time, or if its because i recently have severely divulged myself, my time, and my heart in the few bands that really touch my music no no zones... but lately, i feel like ive been seriously lacking in my attendance at shows. However, thus far for the month of may, i have already RSVP'ed to four shows by purchasing tickets. i cant wait. i need that feeling. the excitement that i often confuse for nervousness. listening to the rhythms - triggering emotions and memories. being drowned out by the sound system, despite how loud i am singing along. uniting with complete strangers. throwing my hands in the air. moving my body. tapping my foot. closing my eyes - taking it in. the lights. the smell. not caring who may be watching. letting go.

im ready.
