Music with Memories
Current mood: dorky

The Postal Service- Sitting on my porch in Denver reading in the sun.  Perfect moment

Built to Spill- Nothing Wrong with Love- Sitting in a car in the rain with a boy at 16.

Avail- Simple Song- Being crushed against the stage leaning into the microphone singing the lyrics while a hardcore boy held everyone off me.

Operation Ivy- Driving up Colorado Street from Dave and Busters, in Denver, with Tiffany.  Me on the harmonica and her on the kazoo making aweful noise to every song while stuck in traffic.  It's really hard to play the harmonica and drive a manual at the same time!

The Dead Kennedys- 15 years old, feet on the dashboard of the car, snuck out of the house, smoking, and sitting next to a boy that I was head over heels for driving down South Lamar in Austin. 

The Arcade Fire- Sitting in the sun in Gisborne, New Zealand, waiting for my friends to get home from picking apples all day so they can ask me what I did during the day.

Leonard Cohen- My dad would play it while I fell asleep when I was little.

Violet Femmes- 17 yrs, first time in San Francisco, packed into a car with a bunch of strangers, and listening to one of them belting out every lyric of every song all the way back to San Mateo, CA.

Modest Mouse- Perfect band to listen to while you are lost in a city. 

Janes Addiction- Geography class in high school.  I would always forget to bring a new tape with me.

So many more...

Currently listening : What the Toll Tells By Two Gallants Release date: 21 February, 2006

I turn 25 in 9 days...
Current mood: contemplative

I turn 25 in 9 days and today I have been thinking alot about what I should do next.  Another year has gone by and once again I have changed a lot.  Changed everything.  I am happy, but unsure what this next year will have in store for me.  Will I go to Europe in August?  Will I go back to live for a while in New Zealand?  Or will I just go back to school?  Will that be for photography or something else?  Will it be in San Fran.?  I do not know.  So many decisions hang over my head.  What should I do if my mom never gets better and cannot come home?  Should I give up my dreams and be a good daughter?  Or take care of only myself?  I know that only time will tell, but that does not make it any easier.  I try to be carefree, but it can be hard.  Been here, in Austin, a month today and I am trying to tell myself that I need to tryout actually living here this time.  Not be on the fence waiting to leave again, but it's hard to let myself do it.  So much here reminds me of the past and I feel like this city holds too many ghosts.  So what should I do?  Where should I go?  I wish I knew...  But for now I am turning 25 and that is all.
