hanson

I sprained my ankle before The Walk...the one mile walk that turned out to be more like 4 miles uphill because Zac led us the wrong way...
I need to go to the doctor because my ankle just randomly rolls. And by randomly rolling I mean I'll just be standing there and my ankle gives out and I tumble to the ground. It isn't fun.
My ankle is all bruised and a tad swollen and sore but I don't think anything is broken (hallelujah).
I came tumbling down with my Canon and my Diana and it was reflex to just hold my hands up instead of try to catch my fall haha. They were saved, my ankle was not.

Hanson was amazing. I went with some pretty cool people. I also learned that I haven't gone to many shows at all comparatively.
I lost my jacket and a fanson made the effort to get it back to me!! It was amazing. Hanson fans are either really nice or really scary. And by scary I mean they will bite you and punch you in the face.

I met Zac. I actually got really excited when I touched him. That never happens.
Funny how Hanson is the ultimate reason how I know Ben's music, started listening to 'indie', wanted to be in the music industry, and am the weird person I am today. All Hanson fans have the same story though. Which is why I need to make a documentary about them ASAP.

Here's to randomness

Today for dinner I made roasted butternut squash with roasted onions, garlic, pine nuts and orzo and a salad with a tofu based chocolate and peanut butter tart for dessert (but that's still in the freezer).

We ate it before i had a chance to take photos haa

this happened this last year

but i needed to show it..cuz it is unbelievable

the death of me

Do I have nothing good left to say
Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints
People love to drink their troubles away
sometimes I feel that I'd be better off that way

'Cause maybe then I could sleep at night
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light
This is something that I'll never control
My nerves will be the death of me, I know

So here's to living life miserable
And here's to all the lovely stories that I've told
Maybe drinking wine will validate my sorrow
Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle

Maybe then I could sleep at night
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light
This is something that I'll never control
My nerves will be the death of me, i know

Finally I could hope for a better day
No longer holding on to all the things that cloud my mind
Maybe then the weight of the world wouldn't seem so heavy
But then again, I'll probably always feel this way

At least i know I'll never sleep at night
I'll always lie awake until the morning light
This is something that I'll never control
My nerves will be the death of me, I know
-City&Colour
