Bonnaroo-its intense (literally)

Jun 21, 2006 15:24

Aup, so pretty much Bonnaroo. What a last couple of days.I don't know quite what to say about it-except it was certaintly an experience and an awesome one at that. The music was fucking incredible. I practically could feel Shooter Jenning's sweat. Some of the best concerts I've seen. It was great to bond with Em and Alie and get to know Marissa and Karen better. Is this the natural bridge? I don't know, it was just a weekend of relaxation and debauchary, going hand in hand. The last few days I was smelly and gross and felt so good. I spent alot of time by myself towards the end and learned to sort of go with it. I really like to be annoymous in crowds and chill with good people I don't know. I had alot of fun with complete strangers. Beck is the weirdest person ever, Radiohead sounded nice, Tom Petty was more fun than I could have expected (guess what? Stevie Knicks!) Phil Lesh in the rain was perfect, Matisyahu was sunny and rainy, and Shooter Jennings should still be my boyfriend. The other bands I saw (Sonic Youth, Jackie Greene, Buddy Guye, Doctor John, Bright Eyes, Ben Folds, Umphrey's Mcgee, Elvis Costello, Bela Fleck, Blues Traveler, Cyprus Hill, Oysterhead, Rusted Root, Damien Marley, etc) were great.

Back to reality. Which I have mixed feelings about. It would be alot worse if I didn't love my internship. I just enjoy what I'm doing-its exactly what I want to be and its an organization I really admire and can stand behind. I can see myself using my skills to do good and even though its on the larger scale-thats alright. Its weird commuting to the office in my buis cas-I honestly do not feel like myself. I feel like if I walked by me I wouldnt recognize me.

I am seriously considering a starfish tattoo on my ankle. I've thought about it for years-I really like starfish. Healing and regeneration and going where the waves take them. Things I need to work on. And I've been dreaming about it alot-which is a good sign.

Embish's 21!!
