Get me out.

If you have ever had an urge to kidnap me and take me to a far away place where we would be no rules, judgment, nagging, questions, demands and anything else related to living with parents, go for it. I can sacrifice a hot dinner and regularly clean sheets for a life of freedom and personal choice.

My mom: How bout we get our jammies on?
Me: *No response as I have died due to astonishment/embarrassment at previous question*

Eggnog

As I see it there are two types of people: Those who like eggnog and those who don't. The latter group of people are huge losers.

Current Activity: Dreaming of dance DESTRUCTION w/ The Grates.

My life = Girl Crushes and Dance DESTRUCTION!

F me. My 3 part TPC tour series has ended and while I have a little hole in my heart because I will not see them for sometime now, it can easily be masked by the fact that the past couple days have been TOTALLY SLY! Now for a show by show recap.

Canmore: Solo dancing, post show chats, popcorn and a stiff neck.
Calgary: Stress due to fact friends may not get in, happiness upon friends entrance, awe at the Grates, bliss upon the sounds of TPC, and comradery with fellow mad dancers.
Edmonton: Nachos, Huge dance space, Girl crushes, Boy crushes, Dance DESTRUCTION, and Band water.

The Calgary show was tight as! Gosh how I love broken city. There is also nothing like getting a smile because you are the only one who knows the lyrics to unreleased songs. Bootlegs, how you rock my world! I was in a pissy mood before the show started due to the "sold out" fiasco but The Grates made me forget every worry I'd every had. They are superb. TPC was great, especially when Josh and Graham introduced thier tambourine toss, which very nice, and even nicer at the Edmonton show. It was also nice when we talked and they noticed my dancing.

As for noticing dancing, in Edmonton when the Grates where playing the gorgeous lead singer (Patience Hodgson) pointed to me and said "this girl is the best dancer ever!" I almost died. Lucky I didn't because then I couldn't have danced my heart out. The entire show was the ultimate dance DESTRUCTION! Me, my crew and everyone on the dance floor took all the flooring in the Power Plant and shredded it to bits. I'm amazed we didn't dance our ways to China. After the Grates set, Patience came down and gave us all hugs then complimented me on my hair. I in turn complimented her on her own hair and her gorgeous looks. I think we both offically have girl crushes. Made some new friends while rockin out to Tokyo Police Clubs set, which was great, and afterwards talked to the boys and said goodbye. Did I mention that they loved it that I came again? Cause they did. And did I mention how they asked if I was going to be at the next show? Cause they did. Oh yeah, did I say how Josh Hook got me some band water? Cause he did.

Conclusions:

Watch out China, one day I'm doing to destroy every inch of floor beneath me and dance right in to your rice fields.

Girl Crushes are a wonderful thing.

So are Boy Crushes.

I may have a crush on every member of Tokyo Police Club. Chances are good.

Life Rocks. Hard.

Goodness! Edmonton and TPC? All the time please!

Yesterday in Canmore was my first viewing of Tokyo Police Club in my 3 part series of TPC shows. Tomorrow will be my hometown gig and part 2 of 3. Edmonton on friday will be part 3 and my final chance to make sore every muscle in my body by dancing hardcore with my new best friends. Why new best friends you ask? Cause I talked with them all yesterday and we bonded, that's why. Every single member of TPC is a genuine piece of male goodness, for your information.

IMPORTANT - Should you want to come to Edmonton with me to see TPC and potentially some CCH crew members - Edmonton Chapter, let me know and you can hop in my car Friday around 3pm. My car is a babe. You should come soley for a ride in that bad boy.

Question: Is it creepy to be secretly in love with someone?
Anwser : No. It is cute.

For lovely lyrics, lovely vocals and inspiring sounds, go here and listen to "Tessellate" many times over.

Missed it!

This is a specail post for all my Bitches and Hos in the Calgary area! Why weren't you at "That Empty Space" yesterday? I know, cause you're losers! Did I tell you about and you just didn't come? Mega loser! Never heard of "That Empty Space"? Oh my god! Get in the know!

To get you all in the loop, That Empty Space is a small space in Mac Hall that is not so empty, especially on Friday afternoons from 3-6 when it is filled with Beer, Bodies, and Bands. That is right laides and gentlemen, Free music, 3 dollars beers, and room full of people that is so hot, you sweat just standing.

This weeks musical stylings were The Meligrove Band and The Golden Dogs. You missed out! That's ok though, go with me in two weeks (I'm away next week) and all will be swell.

Hallelujah!

I just had my first mandarin orange and glass of eggnog for the season. And I'm listening to the Zombies! Delicious!

In the midst of a solo dance party in my kitchen.....

In the midst of a solo dance party in my kitchen, my glasses flew off the face. At the end of the song, I went to go find them. Not only was the lense missing, but a bunch of the frame had broken off. I found the lense, but now have a broken frame.
