Listening to TSO transports me home.
Tonight while I was studying I turned on Trans-Siberian Orchestra. They’re an incredible group - they write rock Christmas songs. I love Christmas, but more importantly, I love the how the songs remind me of what happens at home during Christmastime.
When I hear the soft but clear piano mix with guitars and drums, I think of being home.
I’m in the living room, the colored lights on...

i'm thankful for...this.
Our terrible week of tests/lab reports/etc. is over, and it’s been a wonderful, restful, past day and a half.
We made cookies, went on the swing, played piano and guitar, walked around the reservoir, and even saw swans! I feel like I can breathe again. And then, tomorrow, I will see my family! I am so thankful to have been able to decompress and to have such awesome friends that take...
There is a swing on campus!
I think I’m a little overly happy about it.
But there’s just something so peaceful and free-feeling about swinging. When I feel upset at home, I just go outside and swing in the backyard. It makes me more relaxed and gives me time to think. While you’re concentrating on physically moving your legs to make yourself swing higher, you get distracted from being unhappy and start to...
sometimes i drive myself crazy.
Why do I have to be so shy sometimes? How hard is it to just speak up and say “Hi?” Especially when you have absolutely nothing to lose?
Hmph.
My communication skills are a work in progress, apparently.

matt nathanson. amazing.
Tonight Mairead and I went into Boston to see Matt Nathanson at the House of Blues. It was an AWESOME concert! I absolutely loved it and we had so much fun. Panera’s for dinner, wandering around the streets near Fenway, and Mairead even saw some of her friends from high school waiting behind us in line.
The concert itself was great for a million reasons. I love the House of Blues already...

I think this is pretty cool for people to be doing. Hooray for political activism and getting involved!

My job as a sister is complete.
My little brother joined my high school yearbook! As a layout editor! As the former editor of that yearbook - I couldn’t be more proud.

On a side note, if I have to listen to another 5 minutes of this horrible song I just might spontaneously combust.

Why must my teacher make me listen to all 13 minutes of this?!

"Be still my heart"
Why do people always say, “Be still, my heart!” That sounds like a really bad idea. If your heart is actually still, you would be dead.

Ingrid Michaelson at Thursday in the Square
Ahhh Ingrid was awesome tonight!
The concert was absolutely amazing and so much fun! Ingrid is so funny, entertaining, incredible vocalist, and just silly. She included the audience in pretty much every song. I love when artists do that at their concerts. We made our hands into hearts during a song about “first love.” We made a wave with our hands during the chorus of...
