So these are a little late, but here's some pics from last weekend seeing Grace Potter and the Nocturnals with SquirtyB and her friends.
The view as we're walking to the festival.
Blurry Grace Potter, the woman who stole my heart!
Grace rockin out. Be still my heart. She was so sexy.
And her voice is just amazing.
hahahha sorry Squirty, I just couldn't help but to put this up! This is SquirtyB on the left, with her gf.
Here's a better one hehhehe.
And here's me with SquirtyB. The stage is behind us! We had such a good time, even though we were all sweating so bad that my makeup literally melted right off my face. See the shine??? Good times.
I am also super excited because I got a new computer. My old one was broken and it turned out that the repairs were gonna be more expensive than the thing was even worth, so I got a really nice used laptop for only $150!!! It's way newer than the one I had and works great and I love it. It even has windows 7 on it.
Again more excitedness because my friend S has a friend who just put her condo up for rent and H and I are gonna go look at it this week. It's a 2 bedroom 2 full bath, in a great part of town, and she's bringing the price down to only $900 a month for us since I know her best friend. I'm so excited, I'm ready! She's revamping the whole place, so it'll be ready for us to look at by wednesday. Whooooop!
I am very much in love and mesmerized by Grace Potter. Good lord, what a sexy and talented woman. I mean, for real. I went up to visit SquirtyB last night, to go to the Grace Potter and the Nocturnals show. I got stuck in major traffic going there and coming home this morning, but let me tell you, it was welllll worth it!
I was all set to write up a great blog about all of the fun I had last night and this morning, but I am just too appalled right now to go there. I feel like I have pulled the wool away from my eyes. I will never again call MJ a friend of mine. That woman is not who I thought she was. And I'll never understand how it makes someone sleep easy at night when they are so cold hearted... to actually place blame on someone else who was so good to them. I don't know how I manage to get involved with people like this, how I seem to get fooled so easily. But I guess it's one more lesson somehow. Ya know what? Who gives a shit. I'm done wasting my time thinking about her. I had a great night last night, and she is not going to ruin that, or this post, or anything else.
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. My god, seriously, she's amazing. This video is a couple years old, but here ya go. I got some pictures of her last night too, I'll post those next time. But yeah, I'm in love. hehe ;-)
And I also found another love last night too, but I was too chicken shit to even say hi to her. SquirtyB, her gf, and a couple of her friends and I went to the local lesbo bar in her town after seeing Grace Potter sing her skirt off.
There was this girl there. She caught my eye as soon as I saw her, from across the room. I caught hers too. We made eye contact countless times, and even locked eyes for a few seconds a few times, you know those locked eyes when you can't look away but you're terrified and buzzzzerflies are shooting all over your body... oh man. She was a sight. I kept telling SquirtyB that I thought she was so cute but that I'm scared and I'm too shy to just go up to some girl and say hi... and of course Squirty was... shall we say... very happily tipsy hahaha, and kept literally booty bumping me towards my dreamgirl. Squirty is much taller than me, and had no trouble over powering me hahaha. So as I'm being pushed across the dance floor against my will, I'm trying to get up the courage to go say hi to this beam of light. It didn't happen. I then see her friends all pulling her out onto the dancefloor against her will, and I discover that she too is apparently very shy, which just made me all mushy even more for her. Her table where she's standing is near the back hallway to go to the potty, so I again lock eyes with her on my two trips to the bathroom. The second time, when i was walking out, was the biggest eyeball lock. We both even turned our heads a bit to keep our eyes locked as i walked by. I just smiled, sheepishly, but still enough for her to see that I was smiling at her. So, is it gonna be me or her that has to jump the hurdle? As i keep locking eyes with her, and she is usually the first one to look away, even when I see her trying to find my eyes through the crowd, I see that I will probably have to be the one to say hello. So, I make one last trip to the potty, to make sure that I look ok and to empty my peeps so that I don't feel the need to wet myself from nervousness.
When I came back out, she was gone. Gone! Can you believe it? I waited too long. I must have bitched the entire way home to Squirty and her gf about how I was so mad at myself for letting her pass me by. I can't get her big brown eyes locked on mine out of my head. My plan? To pester Squirty into letting me come visit her any weekend that she has available so that we can go back and I can see if I see her again. If ever I were to see her again, I wouldn't let her pass me by!
Unwell by Matchbox Twenty (rob thomas is my baby daddy) just came on my pandora and I'm sitting here listening to the words and isn't it weird how songs that you've heard a thousand times already can suddenly make sense to you in a completely new and different way?
All day staring at the ceiling Making friends with shadows on my wall All night hearing voices telling me That I should get some sleep Because tomorrow might be good for something Hold on Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown And I don't know why
I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be...me.
I'm actually feeling better right now, after writing that last post, and I've just been reading a ton of ya'lls blogs and getting my mind off of my own life, and then a song like that comes on, and it makes me wonder how long I'm gonna be able to keep it up. I really do need to get some sleep, and stop fucking up my sleep schedule so much. Now Somewhere Over the Rainbow just came on.. the version of it that I love.. and just instantly brings tears to my eyes. This has always been one of my favorite songs. My friend actually got married last weekend, and this man who worked at the bed and breakfast sang this song to us as we were getting ready, hair and makeup stuff. It was so sweet. And I can look at her, my newly married friend, and know that I'll find that happiness one day. I'll find my fairytale. Why is it in me to want to search so much for it though? I have so many other things to search for, and this is always the subject that seems to overtake my mind. The never ending search for love. Who knows.
