chris & i 3/02/07

good morning. so it's 6:26 am and i have come to the conclusion that once school starts, i'm totally fucked. my sleeping scheduel is, go to bed at 5 or 6 am and wake up at 3 pm! i feel like such a bum hahaha. but it's not my fault i'm a night person. but i'll have to get my sleeping patterns in better shape in the month of august for school.

ok enought about that. so i'm laying in bed on the laptop listening to national product and it reminded me how happy i got tonight! (trust me, NP is part of it) so what happened was, me being the music junkie i am i was looking around on band's myspaces and happened to stop by NP's. so i'm scrolling down and i happen to find out that not only are they going on tour with the yummy guys from the band 1997 but they'll be at my second favorite venue! my day was complete when i saw that. then tonight i get an alert telling me one of the blogs i subcribed to on myspace had posted a new blog and it so happened to be saosin <333.

ok before i continue let me give you a little background info about saosin & i. about 2 years ago a friend of mine introduced me to this band called saosin. i checked them out. liked their sound. bought their cd. and loved it. but that was about it, i didn't really look after trying to see them live or anything. well i went to TOC 07 so i could finally see them live, little did i know i would fall in love that night. (oh fyi: i had a broken toe, was on a foot brace, and pain killers at the time) so alley & i are inside watching senses fail while her ex stepmom was in line waiting for us until it got short & we could meet saosin. well in the middle of the set i get a text saying "it's almost your turn". omg i freaked! i start getting out of my seat, stepping on people's cups, running out of the main room, into the lobby, up 2 flight of stairs, down a long hallway, and finaly to the line (i was ready to cry from pain. pain that i only felt hours later). oh did i mention i ran faster than my friend who wasn't injured? hahaha so we get there & the thing is i was in love with the music but i had never actually seen the memebers of saosin. and the first person i happen to meet is mr.beau burchell. it was seriously love at first sight. but all the guys are super sweet. now i was in love with their music and them. well about a month later i saw them again (first time in march, second in april). then i again in august, october, & finally january 08. yes i was a full blown fanatic. and i haven't seen them since because they went to write a new album.

bringing me back to the point. in the blog chris wrote tonight is said that they already had a lot of songs done and that they were already in pre production! not only that but that in the fall we can expect the album to come out and a come back tour!!! i wanted to cry! hahaha i was just too excited.

then tonight i'm going to my friend's band EP release show. they're not signed and are there with a bunch of unknown bands. it's things like these that keep me breathing. i'm not even kidding. music pumps throw my veins, and i'd hate it if anything else pumped instead. :]

i think it's so funny that my mother has said that there was "too much music in my life"...BS! that's humanly impossible! i'd love to be able to tour one day. but i know my voice isn't bad but i'm not confudent enough to sing alone. so maybe i'll be a tour manager or merch girl hahaha nah i'd feel shitty if i was. watching my friends do what i want while i'm stuck at a table selling their shit. no thanks, not my scene.

well it's 7 am, my parents wake up in 30 mins, i need to fake sleep, wait for them to leave, have breakfast, put away my laundry, nap for a few hours, straighten my hair, and wait for m best friend to come pick me up so we can go do what we do best - support local bands. :D
