i'm so much better than i used to be.

geez, it takes me years to update these days with my hectic work schedule and lazy, rainy days. here it goes.

• went to coffee with lyds a week or more ago. was having a long week, and i needed some vent time. yay for vent time!
• friday was delicious. went to the weakerthans show at the triple rock. i had been waiting for this band to come through for a while, and i knew there was no way it could have been bad. it was a sold out show, and i was going alone. i happened to run into gabe and ali g. when the doors opened. they invited me to walk down the block with them to the sold out owl city show. duh. it was packed with 14yos and their parents. the show was pretty decent, though. it was a good "opening band" for my night, and i saw a lot of friends like daniel (former drummer for spirit of '76 and now merch guy for owl city), pat brown (sing it loud) and his girlfriend, dude whose house i went to two weekends ago (with justin, tommy, and brittany), and tam (jackie and justin's friend). unfortunately i had sent a text message to my friend austin about being at his show, little did i know that he is not playing guitar for owl city anymore. oops. embarrassing. after the show we walked back to the weakerthans (who were just getting ready to play) and gabe walked us straight up to the front and center. WHAT!? unreal. i was right below the singer's mic. i was so very excited, and they delivered. the singer smiles the entire time--like he absolutely loves doing what he does. everyone was singing along and in love. it was perfection. ugh. best show i have maybe ever been to. legends. ali invited me to the mug after the show, but i didn't want to peak out my perfect night--so i left with love in my heart.
• saturday i think i went to jennifer's body with justin. it could have been sunday... in fact, it was sunday. SUNDAY i forced him to go with me, but he made us go to the matinee, which was fine by me. i hate megan fox. i think she is an idiotic air-head, but she was actually good in this. it was a really good satire. i laughed out loud a lot. dare i tell you that justin did too? he did. what i loved, was that the movie was set in minnesota and there was motion city soundtrack merchandise EVERYWHERE--above megan fox's bed, a huge poster in the boyfriend's room, the boyfriend's shirt in one scene. it was distracting for me, because i could see justin in merch form during a lot of the intense scenes--and of course i paid more attention to that and how freakin awesome it was than i did to the movie. but i recommend the movie if you are down for a fun, sarcastic movie.
  
• the rest of this week has been very low key. it has been cold and rainy, and it has given me good excuse to nap.
  
• justin has been out of town the past week for family things and college shows. i get to see him tomorrow. eee! i cannot wait. le sigh.
