MARINA + THE DIAMONDS, KATE NASH AND VAMPIRE WEEKEND

Well I was waiting to write this because I WAS supposed to see The Postal Service tonight but...

So I have to wait until July which makes me sad because I just learned Mckenna will be in Georgia at that time. 

But regardless I'm going to cheer myself up by talking about my dreams coming true this month musically. 

MARINA + THE DIAMONDS

I bought this ticket on whim honestly so I could hang out with my friends and be included. I'll admit it. But it was the best 15 dollars I've ever spent on a whim. Marina is not also talented but full of heart and beautiful. She sang a song called Teen Idle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiRjvejL5D4 It's so pretty it speaks for itself.

Perks of being 21: free Diet Coke/not standing in huge crowds at concerts at the bar.

KATE NASH

This woman. She is a sassy feminist who I hope to contain all her confidence someday. She made me feel like I could do anything. I've wanted to see her since I was 15 and feel every age inside me happy when she was on stage. I'm so bad at expressing how amazing she was.

"You ever had a friend who is a complete dick and you're always defended them saying oh that's the way they are. And then you realize one day, they really are a complete asshole." - Kate Nash I related a lot to this song. 

VAMPIRE WEEKEND 

AHHHHHHH!!!!! I saw them perform on SNL 

http://www.hulu.com/watch/489153 and I never knew how beautiful Ezra was (lead singer). They are wonderful I cried tears of joy when they played Horchata.

It was a wonderful night spent with the lovely Mckenna Schwab 

(curse you blogger for making my pictures look odd shaped.)

Postal Service will come too! I am blessed and am happy I can rant and post about all the music that makes life great. 

Flo-RIDA

I have A LOT to say about this month so I'll pick out a few things and share.. probably in separated posts.

First I went to Florida to see Kristina. Which was wonderful and I will share pictures from but first I'd like to share a one of the those I know what I want moments. I call it the "Buzzlight Year Epiphany"
So if you ever have spent more than 30 seconds with me at any theme park, you will learn that I hate rollercoasters. Not only do I throw up when riding them, but I hate being out of control and they scare in a not fun way like water( Wavepool 2011..)  and earwigs. So while my wonderful friends went to ride Space Mountain at the Magic Kingdom, I saw the line for Buzzlight Year to meet him. Ciara told me if I saw him that she wanted a picture with him. I got in line for it with a three or four families in front of me. Ten minutes went by and the line had barely moved and I realized the family currently visiting Buzz had five wee ones under the age  of ten. Okay I'm thinking I'm too old for this. But no I am in line I must endure. Five more minutes the line has barely moved and I looked behind ten families all lined up. It's 5 pm which means everyone is cranky and ready for dinner stuck in line to make sure their children have that magic moment and then I realize how sad I feel. I am alone in line at Magic Kingdom with no family and in that moment I've never felt more alone in my life. 21 years of proud independence gone to pieces by being surrounded by other families upset in line. I didn't miss my own family, this was different I wanted a family on my own. I wanted more than who I stand alone as a person. Well this feeling scary and new made me awkwardly bolt out of line. So turns out, I do want to be a mom and wife and daughter in law someday. It's sounds strange I've always assumed because that's supposed to happen to me that I would want it someday. The fact that I realized I do want really bad scares me.

I'm sorry Ciara I didn't get a picture with Buzzlight Year

This one got me through the airport security and let me shove my raincoat in his bag when I got scared about my carry on being too big :)

Cassie and Me. In our Ron Jovi tank tops.

the greatest picture on earth.Cameron had to lay across us in the car and as a result Cassie snapped this one. 

Minnie mouse selfie. I would wear those ears everyday if people wouldn't be mean about it..

everything good in the universe. 

Family with matching Cars clothes homemade from North Dakota and yes I was giddy meeting them.

The one time I let my friends buy matching tank tops while they were drunk and I wanted to match too.

Sabbath Day

 I have one o' clock church which means my church meets from 1-4 pm. When I was younger in especially in high school this was a blessing. It meant I could do things like go camping with the cousins, hang out until 4 am wake up at 1230 pull on skirt and some mascara and head off to the chapel. Well now I am out of high school, I wake up earlier. I have all this spare time to think of 8000 reasons why I don't feel like going to church before 1 rolls around. It's not about Jesus it's about me. And today, I lost the war with myself. My bed was warm, my parents made breakfast when it's Fast Sunday ,(side note: No one fasts in my house but me because of medication reasons so it seems like we only have a sit down breakfast on fast Sunday . side note to the side note: Fast Sunday is when Mormons fast two meals on the first Sunday of the month) I'm in the middle of season 2 of Mad Men, I don't feel like dealing with the billion questions asked to me about Brian and Sarah moving, Iron Man 3 was disappointing and I'm sulking, etc. etc. I swear this morning going to church felt wrong. So I stayed home.

So I then proceeded to half clean my room and then got bored and cleaned my fish tank. Started to get ready for Florida laundry. Then I went to my friend Tadd's apartment to watch movies and then gave him a ride to the grocery store, then to Chili's and then watched more movies including Hannibal (yep that's me watching Hannibal on the Sabbath) and then drove home.

I got to 700 East and 900 South and I started to talk to God about life and my day (praying in the car out-loud alone is common for me.) and I felt sad. I had my bi-monthly what the beep am I doing with my life breakdown where I evaluate and try to figure out what I want and I realized that I wanted to be at church underneath it all. You see I have a hard time doing/knowing what I want. If you have seen The Office season 3, I suffer from "And don't call me Pammie" syndrome. I'm passive to a fault a lot of the times in life.I usually go with the flow and make others happy because it makes me happy. I used go to church because it made God happy. This worked til I was 18  and I realized making God happy wasn't enough. And then for two and a half years I went on and off trying to figure out what is was wanted, it was today I figured out this is what I want. I want to be at church on Sundays regardless of my sins, the people around and what they want, I want to be at church. and I guess that's what I needed to say today. So that's what I'm going to do is go to church.
