It's official. This countdown is fucking killing me.
210 days since Shane left and 20 until I'm on my way to Paris. I wish I could teach my brain to not think this way, but I truly can't help it. But hey, I'm getting there day by day.
I have some excitement to keep me busy for now though. I am in the running for a writing gig for a music website that I have followed for as long as I can remember. I rather not mention it until my acceptance or rejection, but I can say that I really fucking want it. I am in the top five who were chosen and I have an assignment to turn in tomorrow. Hopefully I'll know by the end of the week. Fingers crossed!
In other exciting news, I am going to the AFI/Green Day tour next week in Dallas. I got these tickets back in April so I am super pumped the show is almost finally here. Davey and Billie Joe all in one night in the GA section...totally worth the wait.
10 days after that, it's Paris time. While I know those two weeks will be amazing, the whole goodbye thing is going to suck hard. Luckily there are things to follow after R&R that will keep me going until Shane's return in January- most of the musical sort of course. Austin City Limits, Fun Fun Fun Fest, Social D and Mumford and Sons are on deck for now, along with flying to NYC in October to be a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding. Then there's a handful of rugby games too. Hooray for things to live for!
Time for bed. Excited to be in the teens (19 days!) countdown when I wake up tomorrow.
Mel- No matter how much things suck in life there will always be things to live for. We just have to open our eyes fully. I am glad that music has been a huge part of your life and helps keep you going. It's whats been keeping me going the past 8 months. AFI and Green Day? That sounds like its going to be a fucking good time. I saw Green Day play for 3 hours last time they were in NJ and it was by far the best concert I have seen. I hope you get this writing gig! Just dont forget about DTM, must be so exciting to be in the top 5 people chosen though. Keep yourself busy girl it helps time fly! -Kar
