It's only 8:00, and I'm really really tired.

That could probably be attributed to the fact that I woke up ridiculously early this morning. 7:00 (eek!)! I don't even know why I was awake so early, judging that I didn't get back to sleep until 3:00ish and woke up frequently throughout the night in search of water since I was severely dehydrated from my exploits that night.

At any rate I woke up bright and early this morning and got to fully appreciate early morning in the city. It really is beautiful. The faint morning light was seeping in through the blinds filling the room with a soft blue light. I even heard birds chirping in the trees since there was no thudding bass and rap music coming up from the street. I opened my bedside window so I could see the rising sun casting an orange glow on the buildings outside my window. It was really peaceful and it was nice to just sit in silence and enjoy it. :-)

I've decided I'm going to learn how to play guitar! Last night I went to the Allen House just to chill and they had a pretty fucking awesome jam sesh. I really just loved that everyone could just gather together and make music, good music. And all those people are so talented. There was one guy playing the violin and another playing the banjo while also playing the harmonica. It was so just cool! I really admire people that are able to just improvise with music. That's not something I'm good at. Give me a complex piece of music and I know I could learn it, but tell me to just play and compose and I would just stare at you.

I miss having my harp. Last night when I was around all that music I wanted to be able to contribute but I couldn't play any of instruments, it made me want my harp really badly. This is why I need to learn how to play guitar. They're easy to travel with.

Also on top of the fact that all these guys are musicians, I really can't get over how they all dress so well!! Like last night for instance I'm pretty sure 75% of the guys there were wearing Nudie Jeans (I will be joining their ranks after Christmas, when I get my pair!!!) And the one guy had on a button down white shirt with the sleeves rolled up AND a vest!! Oh mah god!! I just love a guy in a vest! As Kae put it, it basically makes me come in my pants. :-P

I'm really starting to settle into a little niche here. I'm really excited that I've seemed to happen upon all these people that I can really relate to.

I'm really really happy!! :-D
