daydreams and my best friend.

today i drove both of my brothers to their lacrosse games.  i opened a dove chocolate to give to my brother and i glanced at the words on the surrounding foil.  "daydream." there is something about the word daydream that makes me think back on everything and realize how wonderful life is.

one specific thing that i love right now is my best friend elizabeth.  we were good friends in ninth grade, but with changing circumstances and different high schools, we grew apart.  i don't exactly remember how we came back into contact, but somehow we did, very recently, and we have been connected-at-the-hip best friends ever since.

i tell elizabeth absolutely everything.  we are so alike in so many ways, she understands where i'm coming from and what i'm going through.  we have similar personalities and we make similar choices.  we believe similar things and have similar goals.  i was having a pretty bad day one day this week and she sent me a text, out of the blue, that made my day completely.  she knows what i need to hear, and she knows when to say it. sometimes i think elizabeth and i have some sort of twin telepathy. we think the same things and laugh when we both bring up the same thing at the same time.  i can be myself around her, she's my sister i have never had.

however we became best friends and whenever it happened, i'm so thankful it did.  i love her to death.  thank you e for being my best friend. i love you.

p.s. come back already! i miss your face.

p.p.s. happy birthday in TWO days.

e and i... are bakers.

book on tapeworm, the moth & the flame, and other various artists. (but mostly book on tapeworm)

tonight i went with some of my best friends on this entire earth to a concert at the velour.  it was beauty, pure beauty i tell you.  book on tapeworm hosted the event (guess who the piano player/singer in book on tapeworm is? oh yeah, my idol emily brown. just saying.) it began with some random artists, which were all extremely good, if you ask me.  then it moved on to the moth & the flame. the only way i am able to describe what i experienced with that small band amounts to one word. unreal.  it was like u2 and snow patrol smashed in one man.

then. oh, you won't believe what happened next.  then book on tapeworm came on stage and began singing the most beautiful song of my entire life.  there's something about lullabies that make my heart absolutely melt.  the entire concert was amazing, the people i was with were amazing.  i am so lucky to have such great friends.  people i can be myself around.  people who won't judge me.  people who say "okay, i've just gotta say it.  the only person i'd have a one night stand with is john mayer." i love them.  they make me happy.

thanks, guys, for being the best friends a girl could ever ask for.

(p.s. the last song was my favorite.  for various reasons.)

moving on, i discovered my love for concerts as of late.  my love of attending them and feeling that rush as the artist(s) begin their first piece.  the first strum of that guitar or the first key played on that piano.  i love the voices, the talent that is displayed as these wonderful people let their voices lead the music.  i love how they are honest with themselves, and how they express themselves through music.

i love the concert atmosphere.  it's almost like a family. (unless you're at a freak concert like ke$ha. then i think you're a family cause of drugs and lust. just saying.  not judging.) we all like the same music, or at least we all like this artist.  i love how everyone sways with the music...

i love concerts.

here are some photographs of this amazing night:

...and a few of them recording, cause they're just so great:

if you haven't listened to their talent, check them out. i dare you.
