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!
wellll. i just got back from a rather excellent hardcore show. i like hardcore shows there because the overwhelming majority of guys there are HOT . and also, most of the people there ARE guys. they have the cute asymmetrical haircuts and skinny pants. the main difference between them and the boys at indie shows is they lack the glasses but have many tattoos and piercings. both have long asymmetrical haircuts and tighttttt pants. i actually went into the pit for about five minutes, was tossed about like a sack of potatoes, then i fell over. i stayed down for a good ten seconds, which was long enough to get slightly trampled. finally some guy took pity on me and pulled me up. i then left the pit (been there, done that, possibly sprained my wrist in the process) and walked outside to safely stowe my camera in my car. I went back inside and just happened to take a backstage detour where i stayed and watched the rest of the show. the sound guy either didnt notice or didnt care that i didnt have a little backstage pass thingy, so i stayed there until i recieved a text from my friends i had gotten separated from saying that one of our friends cassie had broken her foot, could i please come take them home? some overweight dude in the pit had stepped on her and crushed her foot. FAT PEOPLE : if you go to shows, for the safety of others please stay out of the pit, and also stage diving and crowd surfing are probably sucky ideas. luckily by the time i got their text the show was almost over, and id already gotten to chat with the hottie from one of the bands, and caught a drumstick during my time in the pit to boot.
so i drove cassie an hour back home to the local ER (who wanted to go to the ER in ATL ? hello gunshot victims.) and just got home from that.
me and hot boy (he had snakebites, or the double lip rings. i have a slight bad boy attraction.)

somehow, there is always a fat guy in the pit who seems bent on hurting as many people as possible...
sucks about your friend, but glad to hear you made it out relatively unscathed...
haha. love the video!
shes fine, shes my token "bad girl" friend, she had a kid two months ago so she said any other pain is much less in comparison.
