Since Friday we’ve been in five different cities, playing with our wonderful supporting bands. This tour by far has to be one of the best American tours we’ve had in a while. The reviews have been great, the fans seem to be responding a lot better this time, and as a big shocker to a few people… the four of us have even went out and bought new clothes. And along with the above, dare I even say it… The QOTSA tour was pretty much shit compared to this tour.
Judita has been with us so far. She’s been hanging out backstage with the roadies and merch people while we’re playing, being cutesy with Tony, and going out to eat at comfortable, yet greasy, diners with me in the morning when both of us can’t sleep. I’ve told her things lately about thoughts toward Ryan and I lately that I’ve told no one else. It’s impossible for me to try to explain how great it feels to have a girl with me on tour to confide it, especially with all the males every where. She’s the only girl I feel comfortable with most of the time. I know she won’t ever pass judgment about anything I say and she keeps her word when she tells me that she’ll never say anything. Even if I tell her really good things. She is my favourite Lithuanian by far. I just love her way too much. There’s nothing else that can be said.
Because we’re on the road, there really isn’t much time to spend with each other except on our days off or after shows, and we’re all really exhausted by then. Monday night my boyfriend took me out on a date. We went out eating and walking around the town, though it was in the forties and neither one of us are used to being out in that kind of weather. It’s a given that Albuquerque isn’t the most romantic place, but it was nice just spending time with him. We went back to the tour bus when it really started getting cold and spent the night watching television together, holding hands. Neither of us said much but I guess we don’t have to just so we can have a good time with each other. He just has to hold my hand or put his arms around me and I know that everything is perfect. I like that about our relationship. It’s refreshing to be around someone and not have to worry about making nervous chit-chat that doesn’t amount to anything in the long run.
