a one man (gal) is me....

i like writing in different colors. i think it makes my blog look more exciting, and, let's face it, my blog could stand to be a little bit more exciting.

so i'm cleaning my room tonight, using the darcy bradshaw "everything goes" approach, and i'm literally agonizing over every cd case i put in the trash can... and suddenly... i got to my A*Teens 'Pop til you Drop' case... tears welled up in my eyes and i realized... i can't part with a lifetime of memories!!! i've worked hard to get all my 7 billion cds and even if i'll always have some that i've never even opened... i'm keeping them!!! they might be a waste of space but, damn it, i don't care!

and you know what, people... some day, i'm gonna have kids... and those kids are gonna be like, "mom, why are we so poor with money yet so rich with empty jewel cases???" and i'm gonna be like " you ingrateful frickin' brats!!! who needs a trust fund? - i'm giving you a lifetime of memories!!! go to your rooms!!!"
;~)

so, long story short... the big clean is taking a lot longer than i had previously anticipated. but i got my record player set up so that's good.

last night i went to see toby lightman and ari hest with kasey at the birchmere. LOVE the birchmere!!!! it's like, i should go there everyday just to hang out. kasey and i got AWESOME seats right by the stage and had an excellent view of sexy ari and foxy toby. kasey had much the same reaction as i did the first time i saw toby in concert... "how does that big voice come out of such a tiny woman???" haha. then we went to an irish bar by her apartment for some good ol' fashioned drinking and soul-bearing. it was too much for a girl like me that prides herself on being as emotion-less as possible. but it was theraputic in a bizarre way, and surprisingly revealing despite the fact that we didn't have the olsen twin's friendship connection game to keep the conversation flowing.

one funny moment of the night was when i first got to her place to pick her up for the concert:
me: "kasey, according to your book here, i'm a leo with my moon in leo..."
kasey: "a leo with your moon in leo???!!"
me: "yeah, what's that mean?"
kasey: "oh dear god..."

okay, i have to stop my train of thought to mention that i downloaded Xtina aguilera's "car wash" f. missy elliott and i'm listening to it right now, and i can't think straight to type this... SO GOOD... i love her too much i fear... i can't wait til the "shark tale" soundtrack comes out in september.

anyway, off to harrisonburg this weekend for Q101's 30th birthday bash friday night and then Becky Sue's wedding on Saturday. good times. looking forward to seein' my harrisonburg homies again, and according to my granddad the puppy hasn't been the same since i left, which is actually kind of bothering me.... it's been a while. really looking forward to stalking my baby boy bobbie at the station on sunday.

okay, i captioned the newest photos...... read it and weep.
