ok, so bonnaroo is officially upon me. in less that i week i will be heading up to manchester tennessee to brave the outdoors (four days in a tent no hair straightener
?! slim possibility of a shower everyday!!!!
?
?
) but most importantly, to EXPERIENCE lots of music! whoo!
i kind of dont know what to expect. i also kind of dont quite really believe im actually going. it just hasnt sunk in yet- that i actually paid pam (bohemianlullaby) back for the ticket, that my parents agreed to me going, or that i will finally get to see so many of my favorite and so many of my most admired acts.
i actually went to a small festival type thing in new jersey in early may called the bamboozle and got to see some of my favorite pop punk acts. but i doubt bonnaroo will be ANYTHING like the bamboozle. they liked my southern accent there, i doubt anyone in tenn will even notice!
gosh, i havent posted in so long. wrapping up this school year has been really hard for me. it was just so draining there at the end. i didnt have time to do anything! but i don't know, i have this feeling that things are about to change. i feel like im poised on the edge of something, like something BIG and LIFE CHANGING is about to happen to me. oh wait- it is. i get to decided where im going to college and what im going to do with my life! fun fun.
well, im super super pumped about bonnaroo :]
even though i doubt ill be anywhere near the front on anything, its still gonna be an adventure! expect an update or two, i'll have the iphone with me and my car charger. nothing (even four day festivals) will ever stop my technology dependence!
btw, the song i tagged this under is just a song i havent been able to get out of my head all day. it makes me wanna dance!
but taking a two month hiatus from mogging is probably inexcusable. what can i say folks? school has gotten tough, i jetted off to italy, and have just basically been going NONSTOP.
so now here is my newest musical obsession... coconut records, jason schwartzman's band. LOVE THEM. love them, looooooooove them :] i found them and have been addicted ever since. its that kind of mellow yet upbeat poppy music that just makes you want to dance. i recommend the tracks "west coast" "its not you its me" and finally "nighttiming", of which you can find a hilarious lip synch of the latter on youtube (done by jason's little bro robert, the lead singer of rooney.)
find their myspace and listen!
fun fact: i literally danced around venice listening to coconut records. all the other tourists thought i was crazy. i probably am :]
i have already converted one person to the magic of coconut records! while the trip to italy was a school trip, i actually didnt know most of the people before we left. i bonded with this one guy when he turned around on the bus and began singing "i will follow you into the dark" to me. then he would sit next to me on the tour bus and we shared our mutual love of bands such as the editors, spoon, and the postal service. i nearly melted because i had met someone who would serenade me with death cab and who likes many of the same bands as me (a very rare thing in the town where i am from)was attractive, kind, and fell asleep with their head on my shoulder, which i found to be adorable. i should have known it was too good to be true, and god is a cruel cruel person to wave all of those wonderful qualities in my face because the person is currently dating some other girl.
gahhhhhhhh.
luckily i have bonnaroo coming up in june to cheer me up considerably....
my best friend and i in venice!
ok, so other than normal every day rituals like checking my email, brushing my teeth, etc, one of my sunday morning rituals is checking postsecret for the sunday secrets, which for those of you who are not familiar with postsecret are updated every sunday. i've been doing this for about a year and a half regularly, and today in addition to the secrets there was a valentines themed video with this beautiful song playing in the background as secrets were displayed across the screen. after some googling, i found out the song is called "shh" and is by donora. im gonna post the post secret vid, so enjoy!
