(no subject)
I haven't done REAL journaling in awhile.
Sucks.
It's like when I have free time, I think to myself, "Sweet! I'm going to do this and this and this and that and that and that..."
Then I only do this and a little bit of that. The rest of the time, I take on the manner of a slug and just sit there and completely veg. And not even good vegging in front of the Nintendo or anything (which was actually one of the thats). Just on my bed, doing completely random crap on the internet. And not even good crap.
I guess that's what happens when I work late like I did last night. I don't want to do squat when I get home.
But I like being productive. :( Or at least having fun! Geez, random crap on the internet isn't even fun. But that was the least energy expenditure. And I wasn't even particularly tired or anything.
Oh, the sick irony of life! Blah.
Anyway, if I start this entry, maybe I'll actually finish it. And maybe now that I devote half of my time at work to waiting for code to compile, I can actually write stuff while waiting.
Shorter things first. I've been a bit disappointed with the output of the Blackeyed Peas lately. But I REALLY dig "I Gotta Feeling". It's a good song to get you pumped up.
So, after a bit of confusion, I found out that while "Life in Technicolor" is on the Viva la Vida... album twice, "Life in Technicolor II" was released separately as an EP. And "Life in Technicolor II" is the version with singing! "Life in Technicolor" is just instrumentals! I like the one with words. :( Now I have to get ANOTHER Coldplay album. Woe is me.
Speaking of Coldplay...
I HAVE OFFICIALLY SEEN COLDPLAY LIVE, IN CONCERT!!! It was AMAZING. And I wouldn't know, but I'll bet it's better than SEX! (Although, I looked forward to having my opinion changed. :P)
Seriously, it was one of the most awesome things ever, EVER. After they had done just a couple of songs, I looked over at Lety and was like, "Okay, I can go home now. Two songs totally worth the 70 bucks." LOL
I tried to piece together a playlist from that night from memory. (It's not in order.)
Cemeteries in London*
Lost!*
42*
Lovers in Japan*
Viva la Vida*
Violet Hill*
Strawberry Hill*
Death and All His Friends*
Life in Technicolor II
Yellow
Politik
In My Place
The Scientist
Clocks
Green Eyes
Fix You
Talk
The Hardest Part
The asterisked ones are from their Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends album, which is not surprising, since this was their Viva la Vida tour.
I told Lety, "They'd BETTER do 'Lost!'" And then I hear the percussion that starts "Lost!" and I squealed like a little girl. Let me be honest, there was a LOT of squealing going on on my part.
LOL, unfortunately, Athena had a bit of drama earlier that day so she was late in arriving. I don't think she got there until Coldplay actually started playing. And by then, people were standing and screaming and she had no idea where Lety and I were on the lawn. While I was trying to call / text / seek her out, they start playing "Yellow" and when I looked up, there were these huge yellow balloons floating around amongst the crowds. ~KEWLNESS!~
(Eventually, Lety just met Athena one of the big speaker poles and lead her back to where we set up camp.)
When they were almost done with their set, the band left the stage, and of course everyone in the audience screamed until they came back out. When they came back out, they had different clothes on (for the last two or three songs). :P Anyway, Chris Martin told us that we would get free CDs as we left! OMG! They gave us Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, which is live versions of some of the songs they did that night at the concert. Tres cool!
Then they did "The Scientist". :(
I :( not because they played the song. It's a great song, and I've raved about the music video multiple times. I :( cuz it actually made me sad.
When Lety and I were hanging out before the concert, she mentioned that this was the last time we'd see each other before she left to move back to Mexico. I guess I hadn't thought about it too much, but when Chris sang, "Nobody said it was easy, oh it's such a shame for us to part. Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard. I'm going back to the start," we all went, "AWWWWW..." and did a little group hug and sung along to the song.
Part of the lyrics:
~~~
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I've set you apart
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
~~~
And when he sung, "Take me back to the start," I started thinking about when I first met Lety and all this stuff that's happened in life in that short amount of time. And now she's going away. And I'd like to think I'll see her again on a regular basis, but if the past is any precedent, it's not likely. I started tearing up. I managed to keep myself together, but I guess it finally hit me that Lety was peacing out. :(
After some adventures of trying to get out of the bloody parking lots, the three of us went to Ihop for some late night breakfast. We had good talks, lots of laughs. Lety spilled that she was no longer infatuated with Japan. Athena and I both gasped. I then informed Athena, "You followed the wrong car here because that is NOT Lety." It was just weird. Like she started changing before she even left us properly. :( After Ihop, Lety crashed on the floor in my room. When she left in the morning, I gave her a big hug. She told me to just think of her as still in Chapel Hill. That I wouldn't see her often, as had been the case in the past, but that she wasn't far away. :( Is no longer the case. She was right, that was the last time I saw her. She communicated with me a few times on her trip past the border and she messaged me when she arrived at home, but I haven't heard from her since. I sent her an email asking how she's been and if she's settled, she hasn't written back yet. :(
But she DID stop in Gonzales on her way down. She got to hang out with Nana and Uncle Sam and Jason. AND EAT LOUISIANA FOOD. I'm more than a little jealous.
I misses her, that crazy woman.
Another thing worth blogging about: Jeremy and I have now been together for one year. I can't figure if it feels like a year or not. Sometimes it feels like it can't possibly be that long. Sometimes it feels like I've known him forever.
On our anniversary, August 25th, he picked me up to go out to eat. He showed up on my doorstep with a dozen red roses. AWWWWWW. They're now in a vase on the dining room table and they make me happy. :)
I wore my mom's red blouse and my zesty red heels and we had dinner at Maggiano's. It was nummy! After that, we went to Barnes and Noble and got some coffee and chatted, which is what we had done on our first date 1 year earlier. Heehee, it was cool. I gave him a letter I wrote to him. I'd never written him a tangible letter, so that was my gift to him. And dude, I am not used to writing that much at once anymore because my hand was aching before I finished it. LoL, but it was worth it. :)
I'm so blessed to have such an awesome man in my life. I haz the happies.
Hmmm, I feel like there's stuff I'm forgetting to write about. Some stuff I'll have to ponder over before I can appropriately articulate it. There's always later.
(Or is there...?)
Sucks.
