she said she was going home, i said i'd be fine by myself.

its funny how there are elements of your life which seem so pivotal, but you manage to forget the little parts.

like when i went to NYC in 2003 (wow....2003. that was 5 years ago and it feels like yesterday) i saw coheed and cambria at the knitting factory.

seriously??

thats crazy.

how did i forget?

maybe the other nights event's over-shadowed it (probably) or maybe i just chose to forget a lot about that 36 hours.

i remember losing my wallet in new jersey in butt-fuck no where and thinking i would never get back into canada.
but i did.
thankfully.

i remember before we got to the border.. i had the worst hangover/migraine of my life...and all i wanted was a baked potato from wendy's and ryan went in with cait, joie, adam, and katie while i stayed in the car. they ate, (ryan got a baked potato) and on the way out he tried to order me my potato and it turned out he had the last one.

they kept that secret for about a year. it was a silly accident but they kept that a secret for a year.


seriously? i remember THAT over coheed's set?


weird.

until recently i had forgotten that i saw saves the day in detroit.

i LOVE that band. so so much.



and i forgot.


but i remember fighting the night before....and giving kevin the worst haircut of his life on scott's porch that morning.

and tori wearing a bronte zoo crew shirt (the black one with the pumpkin) at the train station before we took the train to windsor together.

it cost me $11 because scottie ATMOI (current cancer bats) worked at the oakville via rail station. it cost kevin $51 because scott didn't know him.





think about how long an average person lives.

SOOO much happens in a lifetime.

and i feel like i could write a pretty juicy book already.
not that many would read it, judging from my blog comments.

BUT

the people who read this are the only real audience i would want anyways.

it's nice to be selective.

those little memories are more important in my opinon.

it's funny you should say this actually.. i've been realizing a lot of these things lately, and even better they are mostly about shows. i keep being reminded of things i have seen, and people i have seen them with. but at the same time it's almost like i NEED to be reminded, because most of my teenagehood i think i have TRIED to forget.. it's weird.

if you wrote a book, i would love to read it. i read this everyday anyway and get more and more excited each time there is a post. not only because i miss you, but because lady, you've got a way with words ...

i agree with alexis, those little memories ARE more important. they are what makes life worth living! :)
