ok, so the tour thing is starting to get a little hairy. i am really starting to miss being around real friends. not that i don't have friends here on tour....i've met a lot of people that i really enjoy and i am thankful for it. but they're not real friends-- and the troubling thing is, i don't think they want to be. i think the majority of people here would prefer to keep their real friends a separate entity that exists away from this tour. but i'm weird and i don't want to do that. obviously people that you've known for a couple months can't compete with people that you've known for years, but with the amount of time and experiences we go through together here you'd think it could come pretty close. i'm just getting tired of the idea that i'm going to have to wait until christmas time to hang out with people that i truly care about and that care about me just as much. and that's what i mean by "real friend." a person that knows you almost as well as you know yourself, chooses to hang out with you over other options because of how great you are, and challenges you to be even better when you're with them. can i get an amen?!

but i'm seriously, you guys, seriously.
