hello.
i spent the past few days visiting erica at school which was quite pleasant.
on sunday night we went to see damien/rosie/denison/sufjan which was really great.
sufjan stevens was a pleasant surprise. i dont think erica liked him but i was in love. i thought his voice was incredible. erica disagreed. i described it as a nice mousse soufle dessert...light and airy and delightfully sweet and leaving a taste for more.
it was really great to see denison witmer again. the sound man had his vocals up wayyy too loud and he didnt play any of the songs i wanted him to, but he's a funny fella and it was fun to see him.
damien was great. i didnt like his set as much as the one at taylor.
rosie closed and she was also fun. she is pretty much the most joyful person i've ever encountered i think, which is really great. i think the greatest witness a christian can have is to be someone who is genuine and someone who likes to laugh. rosie is both..and her music is dang good too. erica liked her.
and she did her stand up eye of the tiger routine which was even more hilarious than when she did it at taylor.
we saw the saxon boys which was nice. and it dawned on me after we paid 25 bucks (with the ticket surcharge crap) that i really shouldve schmoozed with damien and rosie a little more when they were at taylor so i could have worked my way on to the guest list. what was i thinking?!?
monday i went to class with erica which was funny and we went to the quaint little town of wayne and walked around some. monday night we went to her friend's apartment. this friend is of the male persuasion and he cooked an entire thanksgiving meal for 10 of us all by himself. and it tasted really good. pumpkin and pecan pie and all. you gotta hand it to someone who goes out of their way like that just to make some great memories. i think it was well worth it for him.
after that we went to see elf in the city because of the rave reviews we've been hearing. i paid 8.25 to sleep through it and i was really really mad at myself. what i saw was really good though.
today we went to see erica's friend's piano recital at temple. he is incredible. i didnt know a human being could move his fingers that fast. it was great.
i love the city so much and being there these past few days was the first time i regretted going to taylor. i just love everything about the city. the trains. the wind. the run down buildings. the diversity. the people. i dont know. i just love it. so, guys, when we get back to taylor, we are going to indy more often. thanks. but yeah, being at temple was really cool and i want to transfer. not totally. but i do wish i went there.
after skipping two days of school i've been freaking out and really paranoid that im missing something important. i know im not but im just a really big wuss when it comes to missing class and im spazzing out about it. ive been having dreams about remembering big projects that are due and all kinds of stuff. but so far its been worth it.
the wild mountain sandwhiches at wendy's are INCREDIBLE.
great harvest bread is also really good.
and philly soft pretzels.
goodnight.
