surprise! sarah's behind schedule!
so, i still haven't packed. of course. we're leaving here at about 9 am tomorrow for new york and i have to be ready for a week away, but as per usual i'm not slightly ready. you'd think i'd learn something after years of being unprepared until the very last minute, but you'd be wrong. and i'm not really that sorry--some of the sweetest memories i have come from packing for a trip in the middle of the night, only hours before leaving. my most poetic memory of recent years comes from packing for montana at 3 am the night before leaving and having damon call to see what i was still doing up. it doesn't sound terribly poetic when you read it like that, but it was just the beginning of a whirlwind that i'm still wrapped up--and occasionally reveling--in.
what i'm actually doing right now could, i suppose, be considered packing; i've been downloading music all day and now i'm putting it onto CDs to put on my new computer. it's been a trip--i found things i never thought i would, like several live/acoustic something corporate songs and some bands i hadn't thought about in a while like jamisonparker, who opened up for soco last time beth and i saw them. i just kept coming up with more and more artists to look up and songs to hunt down and before i knew it i had hundreds--literally, hundreds--of songs, most of which i'd never even thought to listen to up until the moment i clicked on them. i'm really, really excited to get to listen to all of them.
anyway, i guess i'm going to go--the CDs (THREE of them...well, two and a half, i guess, if you want to get technical) are done and i'm going to go load them onto my computer anddddd maybe think about packing.
oh! before i go...this means nothing to anybody except maybe beth, but SHAUN THOMPSON (for those in the know, he's actually the origin of the side talker joke between beth and myself, haha) is my friend on FACEBOOK. i'm so excited! i asked him to be my friend like, the day after i met him in may, and he never confirmed or anything. so, last night i was bored and i was on facebook and i just happened to search his name and out of sheer boredom, clicked on his picture...and it opened into his profile and said "you're friends with shaun." !!! i was way psyched, even though this all makes me sound like a HUGE nerd. on my other comp i have 2 pictures of andrew that actually look just like shaun, so maybe i'll put them in here after a while.
well, anyway, now that i've had that incredibly nerdy moment...i'm really going to pack, now.
or at least pretend to.
hehe
