Can we sink ourselves just to sleep for a spell?

I'm feeling El Captain by the Steelwells. Listen. Sorry, this is the best link I could find.

The past 24 hours have been crazy! Saw Sex and the City 2 with the group, loved it (especially the clothes)! Started receiving letters from college friends. My dear rabbit died. . . but he lived a long good life, and I already miss him terribly. I have a modeling gig at a vintage clothing store tonight that I am pumped about. And I am super close to getting a job. That is pretty much it. And I haven't even been home two weeks!

This is a city for not sleeping, the clocks are set by feel

Minus the Bear concert on friday was phenomenal! Definitely one of the best shows I have ever seen. And they played my favorite song, Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse, last. I just about died. Why not also check out Pachuca Sunrise while you're at it. Pictures:










Dave Knudson and Jake Snider from Minus the Bear.



Also, one of the opening bands, Young the Giant, blew me away. The lead singer's voice was absolutely amazing and they had really good energy and a great sound. Listen to Cough Syrup k?

"And if I was brave, I'd climb up to you on the mountain"

pictures as promised from the last few months of freshman year

Put this song on first, just cause I like it, not really because it has anything to do with any of these pictures. And prepare to be slightly bombarded because I have been putting off putting up photos for quite a while now.
Motion City Soundtrack concert. I'm still trying to figure out my camera but I think I did pretty well here. Also, concert pictures suffer in general because I am so short and pretty much have to hoist the camera as high as I can in order to avoid the tops of heads.

Nate Ruess from the band fun. Same concert as before. He has an absolutely amazing voice.

My roommate Jordan and I stuck in the car during the crazy Nashville flooding. This was after about five hours in standstill traffic. Eek!

I went to a formal and came back looking pretty nice, so we decided to do a photo shoot. It was hilarious because I am not particularly photogenic and Amy was making funny faces at me the whole time. This is my friend Allison's dress and I desperately want to steal it. Photos taken by Jordan Burrier. Hopefully there will be more of these shoots in the future.

I should've been asleep hours ago.

I got my first blisters today carrying my microwave out to my car (or rather blister-like-red-marks-that-burned). Its move out time already, so soon. Im excited to get back to the Woodlands but a large part of me just wants to stay here forever. Its such a mix of feelings. This new song, Daisy by Fang Island, is helping the transition though. And I'm loving the simplicity of the video, its phenomenal. We did the craziest cleaning job of my life and I'm all ready to go. Tomorrow I just have to play in my jury and then stick around for a bit. But just thought I'd put some good music on here cause I can't help but sharing. Also you must watch this video: Jump In the Pool by Friendly Fires. Yes I am aware of how amazing it is. But anyways, that is all, more later I'm sure.

"well I was walking just a little bit sideways and you were walking sideways too"

Absurd crazy storm + living primitively + serious lack of sleep + serious want of summer = procrastination, impatience, and excitement.

Song that got me through today: Fly Trap by Modest Mouse. (this is more about the song, less about the video cause it is quite odd)

And may I just add that pitch black dorms at four in the morning are terrifying, sight singing is officially my worst nightmare, and I have a strong desire to just stay outside all day (probably since its suddenly so gorgeous). My phone came in today! Finally. Im also tweaking about how amazing this nature photography is, especially "Elephant Cathedral." Its nice to be finishing things, tomorrow I will have finished three classes. I just have to remember that I can't be done yet, not when there are still things to do (like practice for my jury . . .) However, I cannot believe I am packing up already and stuffing everything I own into my tiny Eclipse and driving it home. That will definitely be an experience. All of life is lately. I enjoy it. Oh also, I have an exciting set of pictures to post soon (we will make it a surprise) but get excited!
