those butterflies.

i've still got them, i'm proud to report. there are moments, brief, lovely moments, that i glance over to him in a crowded room and feel nothing but excitement. it's still there, and i can only smile. such a happy girl i am.

there's been non-stop activity for the past 10 days and as much as i would love to report on everything we've done, the only thing i really need to say is.. hello butterflies. thanks for sticking around.. just enough to make it right.

not so undercover.

it's his birthday tomorrow so i've got to be discreet. i'm horrible at keeping secrets. actually, it's only my own secrets i'm bad at keeping. and i get all too excited about surprises. but so far, i've done pretty well. i've kept quiet and most things hidden away... tomorrow i get to reveal the gifts. sorry, it's gotta be a secret here too for now.. i can, however, give a full report on a perfect place for pda. we went to the park on saturday with just a blanket and our good looks. :-P it was pretty outside :: the weather was warm :: and i very much enjoyed the view. he told me the green grass made my eyes look greener. his seemed more blue... even though they are not. i love lying close to the ground, feeling so tiny, like a bug, and looking up through the trees at that beautiful, blue sky. (the kind of sky wilco sings about.. i'm sure of it.) there are tons of trees to fall in love with in griffith park. shout out to RT. ;) i love lazy weekends in los angeles. kiss kiss.

these boots were made for dancing.

the boys have a show tonight! i'm so excited. also, it's been over a month since i've seen a fellow band play, and i'm looking forward to dancing up front with the rest. it should be a good one. two bands i've never seen before will be playing as well, and i've heard a lot of good things.

i'm wishing i had more time off of work so i could just lounge and listen to tunes. next week is coachella - my first time. i've got a condo reserved and a good group to experience it all with. now i just have to get rid of this cough that won't stop attacking me in the middle of the night. go away, cough. go away.

and so it is.

a car ride home.



talks of meetings. and decisions. and excitement.
good show. and fans. and admirers. a glance my way. a plunge.



talks.



satisfaction.



celebration.

please don't stop the music

i've got shows to potentially attend every night of this week. i love things to do in my calendar but sometimes its fun to have no plan at all... and that's my new theme of this month. just going with the flow and doing what makes me happy. it's working out fine, except that my energy and excitement for this new way of life is not giving me much sleep. oh well. i'd rather be living a crazy life in the city than snoozing all the time away. the tick tock tick tock is only haunting when there's nothing to do. now, i've found a rhythm.
