Someonenextdoor'sfuckingtooneofmysongs

tonight was special.

as a member of the program board, i get to do cool things like work concerts which allows me to get into the shows for free. tonight was regina spektor at skirball. now, i've heard her before but i guess i never really HEARD her. maggie would play her when we lived together but i never really listened. it was more background music. so tonight, i had the opportunity to see her live. and i fell in love. i got to sit in the 3rd row and yell at anyone who tried to sit in the seats that were clearly marked RESERVED. so i basically sat with some of her entourage which i think may have consisted of a manager and family...i don't know. all i know is regina spektor is one of the most adorable creatures on the earth. and her music is really pretty and funny and witty and quirky. and did i mention how cute she is? and how wonderful? and how i'm in love with her now? yay. i love falling in love with new music.

i fell in love with the guy who opened for her, too. his name is michael leviton and he played nautical love songs on his ukulele. his songs were sweet and quirky and he made me smile. i went up to him after the show, shook his hand, and told him i liked his set. why is it i have no problem going up to cool musicians after shows and yet i can't do that in other situations? actually, i'm doing better. i'm learning.

after the show, i bought falafel and went home and ate it. then i decided to go to the skinny since joe was djing. but i got there and saw justin and nick rizzo and no one else. everyone had left. but then...we went up to see joe and who do i find but mr. joshua schonauer. i love him so much. he just moved back to nyc which is very exciting. he made my first year here so wonderful. best RA i've ever had, hands down. seeing him was great.

after about maybe a half hour of being there i left. i've found myself kind of over the idea of going out and getting drunk. i just haven't felt like doing it a lot lately. i really don't know what it is. eh whatever. i don't really care.

i have a hot date on saturday. with arielle. i'm going to be girly and cute and we're going to serendipity and probably the movies. yay. i'm excited. hanging out with my freshman...i've found myself doing that a lot lately, being around freshmen (well, considering i have classes with so many)...i kinda hung out with this freshman boy while working the show tonight. real cool kid. maybe i should pretend i'm 18 and start hanging out with freshmen...

um...nevermind.

Do you feel like a perv looking at those nearly underage kids? Because over here in 147, it's a common feeling.

um yea. what sucks is that a lot of these boys...real cute. so not only do i just look at them, i find myself wanting them too which to me just seems wrong. i mean, if they were from s.a. and went to central catholic, they could have been friends with my brother. *shudder*

but i want one of my brother's friends too so i don't know what to think anymore.

*shudder again*
