new girls*

i’m sort of obsessed with this girl:

She’s got an attitude like Lily and a voice like Regina. And I love her.

There are a couple of exciting things* going on at the moment. ; )

blog issues

there is somthing about this blog that makes it seem like a pain to update. I’m always thinking of things to blog about but never do because it can be too much work to do quickly. I would switch to tumblr but I don’t like the lack of interaction between the blogger and reader. I’m frustrated when it comes to not being able respond easily to something you’ve read about, which is still important to me. Anyway, i’m in search of advice as to more convenient blogging without losing what I really like about it. (p.s. I did all of this from my iPod touch! Amazing.)

live.

the muscles in the sides of my stomach tighten when i listen to a man/me/then jim.

I’m really excited to recount the events that occured last night at Rilo Kiley.

Adrian and I have done a really great thing.

on our way.

adrian and i are very happy girls tonight.

i plan on recounting what exactly happened at Webster Hall as well as a series of events that occured and how our friendship came to be over one (VERY important) common interest.

i do plan on speed-writing when i find the next free moment, which could (and should) be very soon.

i’m the happiest girl tonight.

great things.

I promise you all that I will do great things with my life. And in the end I hope you are impressed and if you’re not, I suppose I’ll figure that whatever I did wasn’t really your thing.

But to be honest, I really hope to do great things that make me happy and other people happy. I suppose we’ll see.

Until then, I’ll keep listening to music that inspires me and collaborating with creative people. I think that’s a good start.

mah nose!

I decided in LCD this afternoon (yesterday afternoon) that I was going to get my nose pierced.
nicole and i ate dinner, went to manhattan, found a place off of West 4th that was mentioned to me by a rather cute girl who slightly resembled Lily Allen (also very friendly and gave us very clear directions).
A young man named Gabriel took me back, explained the process and a bit about himself, sterilized a giant needle, measured my nose, grabbed a strange set of pliers, clamped onto my nose, and shoved the needle straight through. I sat there with my head cocked back and a giant piece of surgical steel forced through my nose flesh when he said “Wow. Usually it only takes one push. You have a very tough nose.”
He then took the rod out and put stud in, which was twisted about in different directions and screwed into my nose. A few tears trickled out of my eyes not because of “freakoutage” or pain, but just because it happened. Gabriel was very friendly to me and told me that I had beautiful skin that would be really great with brightly colored ink should I ever choose to get a tattoo. I thanked him and he told me to wash my nose twice a day with Dial soap.

At this point, Nicole and I headed uptown to Times Square to see the new Davey’s Dance Blog (which was great), then headed to a karaoke bar in Midtown with Iowa, Amir Blumenfeld’s cousin Nicole, Kunal, and Amir Cohen and had a bit of beer and a bit of singing. Eventually Andrew Pile and Kate showed up and we left to do greater things, but found that Andrew’s irish bar had been shut down. How unfortunate.

Eventually…Iowa, Nicole, and I ended up at Junior’s on Dekalb for Reubens and coffee at 2AM. And now here I am. I sent a ridiculous email to my parents and my brother earlier in which I do believe I gave a heartfelt attempt at displaying my ability to speak in the vernacular of “the urban gangster”. We’ll see how that goes over tomorrow. : ) I think it was charming.

Anyway, now I have a pierced nose. I’m going to go clean it and go to bed. Nicole and I are going for breakfast in the morning.

lucky.

i’m usually very lucky.
lately i feel very lucky because of the people i’ve met and the things i’ve done in the last week.
i try to keep this in mind.

because i often feel unlucky. at least in the instances in which i wish for luck.

i appreciate following through.

i like people who make plans with the intent of following through with them.
i can also appreciate when people annunciate.

i like it when people are passionate. i don’t care what sort of passion it might be, but I respect someone who cares a lot about something. i think that passion is what sets all of us apart from the rest who coast for a lifetime.

There was a blind contour party on my floor yesterday. Blind contours with really excellent people and Rilo Kiley.

I saw Feist last Wednesday. It blew my mind into oblivion. I fell in love over and over and over again. I also appreciate composed, articulate, poetic, and insightful women. Leslie Feist is all of these and so much more.

i’m at school.

i’m at school and i’m very busy.
i’m glad to be doing work. but i’m doing a lot of work.
i’ll be working all of labor day weekend, which is sad.
i do love school.
it just makes me very tired. ohhhh foundation.

Uh…college.
