I spin off and lose my head
I would just like to preface this otherwise happy entry with: WHY DID I NOT GO TO LOLLAPALOOZA?!?!?!?! I did not know my life could feel this empty. Actually, what I didn't know was the list of bands that were going to be there. Now that I know (actually from a letter my grandmother sent me) I want to scream with the frustration of it all. In fact, I just did. Incidentally, the way my grandmother wrote it is priceless.
"Hi Sarah and Katie,
Chicago's lake front is jumping with "Lolla Palooza" and Tall Ships this weekend.
Hope you are getting around Philadelphia!
Love,
Grandma and Grandad"
And with that one concise blow (and by including the list of bands that were there), she ruined us. I was not prepared for such a low blow-- from a grandmother of all characters.
But life will go on. Especially because I'm seeing Tool in September and Red Hot Chili Peppers/Mars Volta in October. Which is exciting in its own right.
On all other fronts, things are absurdly good. I don't even know what to do with myself. This phenomenon known in some circles as "happy" and in others as "enjoying life" is taking its toll on me, making me do crazy-not-Katie-like things. I fear this is getting past tolerable reading length for the average "ElJay" subscriber so I'll entertain the idea of continuing later.
