i've heard it said: you'll know it when you see it
after getting only 6 hours of sleep, i got up to go to the new milford village fair days...
to put it simply - something was funny this year. something was missing (aside from my mom) and it didn't seem as great. my favorite tie-dye people and clay jeweler people were both absent this year...and i was sad :(
BUT...on the walk back to the car, i stopped in at the nm music store and bought the sara bareilles piano book (huppah!)
---
back home, got mel and dan in the car to drive them to our grandpa's house. dropped them off and proceeded to drive down the street to bennett park for the annual lampe barbeque! ...of course, i was the first guest to arrive >_< so i awkwardly sat and talked with mommy lampe and kyle's younger brothers. as more people arrived i got to talking with danielle, a friend of kyle's whom i've become good acquiantances with at these barbeques over the years...and finally, kyle arrived, having driven all the way from umass today. it was nice to just relax and catch up with people.
after picking up mel and dan we went home and i took a nap.
later, we ate dinner and i left for wonderful town :)

the show was electric tonight. the audience was HUGE! and we even got a standing ovation at the end :)
hanging out backstage was fantastic tonight, as well. i will miss ronni and nick a lot <3
nick demanded that i look stage left (backstage) during wrong note rag to watch him dance and copy all of us who were on stage...hehe...he, emily and rob were all dancing and it was hilarious!
i almost started crying during the it's love finale...and i am really truly sad that the show is over now.
what makes me even more sad, though, is the fact that only ONE person outside of my family came to see me in the show. and that was chris senello - a kid i met at the westconn band camp 5 years ago! we don't even talk regularly and we're not that close - and HE CAME TO SEE ME.
and guess who didn't?
everyone else.

the people who would have absolutely made my night if they could take time out of their lives to come and support me. there were NINE - YES 9 shows...and they missed every single one.
now, i'm not trying to put anyone on a guilt trip...but it really hurt tonight when i stopped and realized that some of my closest friends never came. i couldn't help but feel a little loveless...
on the other hand, as i said my goodbyes my wonderful town friends made promises to keep in touch, to meet up soon, and to stay close. kelly made me pinky promise that we'd hang out...and one of these days we'll hopefully be having a sewing party (lol...)...i love these people so much. something tells me that what bonds we have will linger and just might withstand the test of time...at least for a little while :)
what a fantastic group a people...i am so glad to have spent the past three months with them. <3

on a last and completely unrelated note...after i left richter i stopped to get gas. after i filled up, i got back in my car to get ready to go home...when i noticed the guy who had filled up in front of me was walking towards my car. i locked my doors and quickly started my engine to see if implying i was leaving would make him walk away. he knocked on my window and i rolled it down an inch. he said he was "really really lost" and asked if i was from around there. i quickly said "nope - but i'm sure there's someone working in the mart right now, they could probably help you" he said a sentence more about how lost he was and then walked back to his car and drove away. lost my ass. i probably am not relaying the story exactly true to how it happen and the way it happened...cause it was mad sketchy and i'm so glad i did what i did...because getting raped was not on my list of things to do tonight...

now that i'm happily home safe and sound...i am hoping to get over/avoid my growing nostalgia and plow through the next couple weeks that stand between me and elon...
