i saw conor oberst play for the first time last night. he didn't play the hits. but he said now is a good time to be american. now is a good time to be a human being, and i was filled with joy, because, yes: finally! and then he played songs for me to dance to so i danced.
this is an epic week: lots of tears and swelling feelings in my chest for barack obama, conor oberst last night, making banana bread with josh (new and extremely wonderful boy) tonight, montreal friday-sunday (any recommendations where to eat/drink/shop/play?). i am excited about being twenty years old in this exciting time and loving what i always felt needed to be loved (president, country, etc.). someone (not conor) last night said yes we can and i said yes we have. filled with JOY. giddy like a child.
next week is also an epic week: 37 hours of retail employment and a pre-screening of MILK with motherfucking EMILE HIRSCH in the building. talking. yes. you are jealous. also, more giddiness and pure joy. that won't go away for a while.
