I Love Rock n Roll

i've been thinking a lot about music today
now i have absolutely no musical skillz
but nothing gives me energy and goosebumps
like hearing (or if i'm lucky, seeing) excellent music
and why am i having these thoughts now?
well, a few reasons
1) this week was the induction ceremony to the rock n roll hall of fame
R.E.M was inducted by eddie vedder
i watched the speech here
and sure as shooting, i got choked up
i won the best big sister award when i took lizzie
to her first concert in 1995--r.e.m at hersheypark
hell, we both still have the t-shirt

2nd reason
i spent WAAAAAY too much money today on 2 sets of tickets
to see john mayer and ben folds over the summer
hell, i even joined the freakin' JM fanclub
and i swore i would never do that
but it actually paid off
lizzie, kelly ronan, and i will be 5th row on the floor for the DC show
i am so excited!

i am NOT excited about being on duty this weekend
i can't leave campus until monday at 8:30 am
not a fan of this plan at all
