butch walker wins at everything.

I drove out of east atlanta / with a headache the size of my car / and I called to say I was okay / 'cause I know how you are.

so much love for him.

I kind of love how CLLS is built out of all these totally small moments and is kind of achingly sad because of that.

concert going

*sulks* Butch Walker tickets for the Troubador are sold out. I will have to soothe my soul with baseball, I think (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim vs Cleveland Indians. It'll be my first live sporting event! isn't that exciting?)

...heh. Architecture in Helsinki is playing the Troubador in November.

Hm. I wonder if I can get Street Scene tickets. Strangely, not to see Panic! because no. Well, okay, I actually would totally go see them at Street Scene, but only because the Killers will also be there and I think I would kind of love to see a Brandon Flowers vs Ryan Ross slapfight while Muse, TAI, and GCH kick back and smoke some weed and do Cotton-and-Pepper-esque commentary on it.

Street Scene lineup:
The Killers, MUSE!, SOCIAL D!, Panic! At the Disco, Slightly Stoopid, G. Love and Special Sauce, Arctic Monkeys, Air, OZOMATLI!, Louis XIV, Too Short, Brand New, Editors, the Academy Is, Mickey Avalon, Matt Costa, Jack's Mannequin, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Paolo Nutini, Mika, The Village People (!!!), Mims, B-Side Players, Van Stone, Infected Mushrooms, Augustana, Gym Class Heroes (oh, Travis!), and other people.

So far, my upcoming concert schedule:
9/8/07 - Butch Walker @ The Troubador sold out (*sob*)
9/21/07 - Muse @ Verizon Wireless Amp - YAAAAAY!
9/22/07 - 9/23/07 - Street Scene @ Del Mar Fairgrounds maaaaaaybe
10/26/07 - 10/28/07 - Voodoo Music Experience @ City Park, New Orleans LA (working on this one instead of Vegoose because thelionforreal is wily and has promised me that we can get drunk together and watch FOB/GCH. The only thing that makes this okay is that I will definitely get to see Muse in September and RATM is apparently playing Voodoo Fest too. Also Patrick and Travis at the same place! For awesome, you guys. And I will get to see New Orleans before the Gulf of Mexico eats it.)

I should probably not do Street Scene. Probably. 'Cause I was tore up after seeing Muse last time (yes, I managed to injure myself flailing and headbanging) and three solid days of sex live music is probably not the best thing ever for my voice. Or my hearing. Except that it sounds really good and also I can spend the entire weekend drunk and going, "WOOOOO!" and throwing horns.

But dude. Muse! The very next day! Again! Ozomatli! Social D! The possibility of a Brandon Flowers vs Ryan Ross fight! Travis and Lesbian Beckett in the same place at the same time! The little nutjobs in Brand New! The Village People! It's very tempting.

Ack. Decisions are *hard*.

a, m, and azing like Thelonious Monk

I am the luckiest girl and also the most belated. So, first of all, happy belated birthday to arallara who is totally one of the awesomest, smartest, nicest people I know.

I have much love in my heart for isabeau who gave me a cupcake and who was there the very very first day I wandered into organized fandom and who has been there for me ever since. 9 1/2 *years*, Ewok, isn't that crazy?

and also for buddleia who makes me smile and giggle and go Woo! quite a lot with her awesomeness.

Also my formerly-known-as-h8rs, who are the bestest most awesome smartest and funniest bunch of people ever with the best taste in everything. And and and my AIM people who are also supercool! (there is a lot of overlap between these two groups). And just. Seriously. I love you guys really a lot. I am filled with love today! I have chocolate cake with capuccino frosting and I'm going to go out and buy a book! maybe two! OH MY GOD, I AM A PROFLIGATE WASTREL and also I am redundant! and I'm going to go have something yummy for lunch/dinner and listen to music and try to start one of the two fics I feel I must write.

And? And? TV loves me. It does. I have Heroes and Pushing Daisies and Sarah Connor Chronicles to look forward to! There is a show with science and charm (Eureka! yay!) and Sci Fi Originals and zombies and apocalypses. I have a Norrington action figure and he is made of hotness (no, really, he is. He's the good action figure, not just the wee tiny one) and I love Norrington so so so much, I do, because he is Norrington and I am sad that he got the shank from the franchise, but whatever, I just pretend it never happened LA LA LA LA. And I love LotR, no, I do, because Legolas is such a backwoods redneck who loves his boo Gimli and the Rohirrim are all crankypants and asskicking and Pippin is just made of win and Boromir is my Least Likely but I love him so, I do, because he's Boromir and fucked up and he tried and he should have been born to Rohan where they would have appreciated him more, and seriously, my kingly boyfriend kicks ass (hi Theoden, hi, you are so hotter than your niece or your nephew and they're pretty goddamn hot). And just. I have a Flash! And a GL! AND SUPERMAN IS AWESOME AND I LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE IS A GIANT GOOFBALL DORK HE IS HE IS and he is also a guy who'll give his all for people and just I love him. I do. How could I not? And I have a Shayera action figure! And now she can play with GL and Flash and they can have wacky shenanigans. And Roy! Roy and Connor Hawke and Mia! Love! And Oz! Oz who is chill and wonderful and offbeat. And god you guys, there's Gunn. There's Gunn who is my forever and always.

Seriously. I'm just in an awesome mood.
