I FINALLY FELL IN LOVE, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER
The semester is coming to an end and I'm starting to really freak out. I'm not showing it, but I'm constantly feeling anxious, and I hate it. I have a research paper, 8-10 pages, due next Wednesday, and I don't have a topic yet. I have a spanish presentation on Tuesday, where I have to talk for 5 minutes with NO notes, and I haven't started that. I have 3 weeks of math homework to catch up on, and a project to do with Nick for Thursday. And I have to do my english portfolio, and I don't even know what that means.
But when all of that is over, it will be winter break, and I will be working at Souper Salad, which is my favorite job ever. Paula, Lorn, and I will go back to The Painted Dish and finish our beautiful pieces of art. I'll do pilates with Lorn everyday and we will get awesome hot bods in one month. Paula will be back for good and I will be so happy because I really really miss her. I'll drink eggnog everyday. It will be Christmas!
Matt is leaving tomorrow, and I won't see him again till Monday. This will be very, very hard for me. It's hard when I can't even spend the night with him. It's not gonna be easy.

WHERE YOU ARE, THAT'S WHERE I WANNA BE
I met Matt's family last night. And he didn't warn me that I was going to. Bastard. It turned out fine though. His 5 year old sister, Amy, who is adorable, took a liking to me. She's the one that seemed the most intersted, anyway. He says they liked me, but his parents didn't really talk to me. That's ok. The banquet had killer mashed potatoes. *Sidenote: I'm starving, and just decided I'm gonna make mashed potatoes out of the potatoes that have been sitting in my fridge since I moved in. This is gonna rock.* But I had fun last night. Amy invited me to go play horses with her in her room sometime, which I look forward to.
I'm considering quitting Keva Juice before winter break. If I work there over break, I will be driving between Alb and Santa so much that I won't even be making any money. Plus, Souper Salad is hiring, which has been my favorite job so far. I could work there during break. But then I'd have to find another job when I get back. Its something to consider.
Drunken Exorcist night with Brian and Matt was fun. The Admiral kicked mine and Brian's asses the next day though. I left Keva Juice after an hour. I didn't want to barf on the customers, and the wheat grass was making that difficult to control. I never threw up, but I did sleep for 3 hours. And then Kat and I went to Becca's dancy thing, which was awesome. She's getting really good. And it turns out I might have been re-introduced to my first friend ever: Reesa (sp?). She was my friend when I was like 3. Her mom and my mom were friends. And she's in dance with Becca. It'd be cool if its her. Can't wait to find out.
Gotta go buy milk for mashed potatoes. Woohoo! I love mashed potatoes!!

A MIRACLE AND A TRAGEDY
All at the same time. Got this from The Peak website.
Peak's Acoustic Christmas with Howie Day and The Calling

It's a holiday show with Howie Day, The Calling, and local groups Soular and Man Born Blind at Ned's Downtown. Tickets are just $5 at the door and all of that goes to buy gifts for the children of the Giving Tree. This is a 21+ show.

THERE'S A LOG ON THE FIRE, AND IT BURNS LIKE ME FOR YOU
I guess its about time to post again.
I've been working when I'm not at school and at school when I'm not at work. It was a busy week. I almost, ALMOST went to all of my classes. If I hadn't had to work at 3:30 on thursday I would have gone to Astro, but that class ends at 3:15, and there's no way I could make it across the city in 15 minutes.
Thats another reason why I don't like Albuquerque. Its just too big. I think I'd like to stick with Santa Fe-sized cities. Santa Fe is so personal, and I know every little corner of that city. Albuquerque....its ugly to start with. Its just not a pretty place. Except for a couple parts. I drove down Rio Grande Blvd on my way home, it was really pretty. Tons of cute ranches with horses and big big trees. And I have to remember to tell Jacinda I saw a Dietz Road and a Dietz Ranch. Its her last name, and its not too common, so I thought that was cool. And I heard Changes by David Bowie on the radio (radio free Santa Fe, actually) when I was driving through there. I love that song! I just downloaded it! For free! I downloaded Goodbye Yellowbrick Road by Elton John last week. Sweet!
So yeah, I don't like Albuquerque. But actual school is ok. I like the campus. It has a lot of huge trees and I love huge trees.
And of course I've been spending alot of time with Matt. Unfortunately we both are busy alot, with work and school, so we usually only see eachother at night. But weekends are usually better. I only worked till 5 last night so we all got to party together. Kat, Matt, Becca, Dylan, and the like. It was a total sausagefest. Hanging out at Phi Delt rocks. And I love playing DDR now. Weird. And I love hanging out with Matt. Especially when we study. :)

"GOOSE-TER"
It took a couple months and lots of internet time, but I finally read all of Guster's Road Journal: http://www.guster.com/test/tanindexflashsite.html
The drummer, Brian, AKA "Thundergod" writes the current entries, although the first ones, dated all the way back to May of '00, are written by all 3 members. They are hilarious, I recommend them to everyone when they need to waste months of their lives.
Oh, and Guster's music isn't too bad either.
And Irena showed me a groovy website, http://www.thefacebook.com/. Its like myspace, but there are less people, and its only a representation of given universities. UNM is one. I looked up St. Mike's and found several kids. Its a fun site as well. Check it out.

I am soooooooo glad Nov 2nd is here. I'm so fucking sick of seeing those damn commercials on tv. I took my absentee ballot into Santa Fe on Wednesday, and I wish the tv knew. The commercials would stop. Stupid backstabbing commercials. I wish they really played the "Kerry is Satan" video, that would just be funny. Don't get me wrong, I voted for Kerry. Its just a funny little clip.
I love David Spade. Llama face!

Its raining!!
Rain is nice. Especially an hour ago when I had to walk all the way from the SUB to Phi Delt...which to those who don't know, is quite a distance...about a 15 minute walk. And it especially sucks when its raining. I got soaked. SOAKED. But its really ok, because it was fun walking in the rain. I just wish I didn't have to do it alone. I like jumping in puddles...I need a puddle-jumping-buddy.
Having a boyfriend is fun. I'm soooo happeh :D
And competely smitten. Completely.

I Hope Tomorrow Is Like Today
I'm awake, you're still sleeping
The sun will rise like yesterday
Everything that we are now
Is everything we can't let go
Or its gone forever, far away
I hope tomorrow is like today
Don't you go away tomorrow
I don't think I could handle that
You're probably dreaming that you're flying on
Then you start to fall
But then you rise
and shine forever
Don't go away
I hope tomorrow is like today
-Guster
My title never shows up, and I don't know why. Kristin!

Wrinkle Tard
On the way home today I found myself smiling for no reason. Well, no reason other than the fact that I spent the day with Matt instead of doing all of my very important homework. That can wait till tonite. I'm so happy -- I have been this happy in a very long time. Yet he's so bad for me. I slacking with my school work. I have to get my act together. I just need to get past the initial smitten phase and I'll be ok. Then I'll be able to function again.

Be Calm, Be Brave, It'll Be OK
Things that bother me about Albuquerque:
1. Not as liberal as Santa Fe. Of course, this would be hard to do in the first place. But I drive around and see the Dubya stickers everywhere, and not one "No War!" sticker, except for my own. Far too many republicans here. Even though I was told its actually pretty evenly divided. I'm just used to SF, where everyone and their mom is either democratic, a hippy, or a lesbian. And I miss that.
2. The curbs here are too high up! Everytime I park on the street, my door always scratches against the curb. Why must they make them so high up? I see no reason except to hurt my car!
That is all for now. I'll think of more.

The Title Hasn't Been Working
So blogger hates me. It really does! After I post this, it will take a couple days to actually post. It says its published, but I go to check the actual page, and the new post isn't there. Kristin! Why is it doing this??
Apart from that...I'm never drinking again.
Atleast not till next weekend.
And I'm definitely drinking next weekend.
Last night was Becca's bday. Little youngin' just turned 18. Yay for her. Fun for everyone. She had a party at her place. At first no one was showing up, and then the frat guys came, yay! Those guys are fun. Dirty, Matt, Joey, Dukeheart (sp?), and a couple other that I don't know their names. And I've always thought Matt was cute, so I'm glad he came. And at the end of the night, he handed me his number! That has never actually happened to me before. Being given a number. I think all things are prettier when italicized! So I'm unsure as to go about calling him...after all I was quite drunk last night, and I have my doubts about whether or not he even knows my name. I'll definitely call him and re-invite him to my upcoming weekend party...but I'm not sure what to do otherwise. Well, I know what to do, I'm just too chicken-shit to do it. How come I can always give the advice but never follow it?
I hate homework.
But I love Sugarcult!
And Dean Martin.
My dad bought me a $7 Best of Dean Martin cd at Target Friday night, after he made fun of me for wanting it. There's nothing wrong with liking old music. My mom hates it because its what her parents used to listen to. But I love it. I need Frank Sinatra too.
I need a shower. Very very badly.

The Ten Commandments of College
Student was searching for divine inspiration. Student walked high on the mountain of knowledge and came across God. Student asked God how to live life as a college kid should. And God said unto him, follow these Ten Commandments and you shall be all a college kid is. And Student thanked God and it was good. And Student spread the Ten Commandments of College to all.
I- Thou Shalt NapAnd God gave unto Student a great gift, the gift of napping. God said to him, You shall spend half your day napping. You shall nap in class, in your room and in your friend’s room. And God said, if you don’t nap, you will not be able to stay up all night drinking. And Student said, Nap I shall, and it was good.
II- Thou Shalt Get Sick All the TimeNow God said to Student, you must be sick all of the time. And student said why. And God said unto him, you shall share drinks, stay up too late, drink too much and make out with people you don’t know. Therefore, God said, you shall be sick all year round. But God said, blessed are the sick for they have partied the hardest. And it was good.
III- Thou Shalt Write Witty Away MessagesStudent asked, but God, how will I show everyone that I am funny? And God said unto him, thou shall write witty away messages. God said to student, you shall never just say you are in the shower, you shall say you are getting wet and wild…in the shower. You shall never say you are at class, you shall say you are sleeping…in class. God said, if you do not write witty away messages, I shall smite you. Blessed are the funny, for they will get many girls to be their friends but never hook up with them. And it was good.
IV- Thou Shalt Wear a HoodieAnd then Student asked God, God how do I look like a college kid. And God said unto student, you must wear a hoodie, for it is a useful garment. And you shall never wash it either. Student asked God what kind of Hoodie should it be and God said, you shall own one with your school’s logo on it and you shall own many others of varying colors and creeds. And Student was pleased and God was pleased.
V- Thou Shalt Shit a LotAnd Student asked of his bathroom habit and God told him, Student, you shall eat in the Cafeteria and you shall shit a lot. And it will not be good shit, it will be the shit of the devil for your ass shall burn for hours. Your school shall put laxatives in their food and you shall feel their pain. And Student began to weep, and God said unto him, Student, fear not the shit, for all your fellow students will be experiencing the same. And Student dried his eyes and thanked God and God told him to use wet naps to ease the pain.
VI- Thou Shalt Eat EasyMacStudent asked unto God if there was any alternatives to the cafeteria, and God said to him, you shall eat a lot of EasyMac. It is easy to make and you don’t need milk or a stove. And student said microwaves were forbidden by the RA. And God said to him, you shall hide the microwave under your bed with a towel on top. And Student asked, what if it is discovered. And God told him to stop being such a pussy, and it was good.
VII- Thou Shalt Hook UpStudent then asked of sex. And God said, Student, you shall hook up and be happy. You shall go home with random people every weekend and forget about them the next day. You shall see them at class and be awkward amongst their company. You shall exchange saliva at bars and parties and it will be good. And Student became gleeful and God told Student to wrap it up because He knows where she has been, but Student does not.
VIII- Thou Shalt Join a Club and Never Go to MeetingsStudent inquired of his spare time and God reminded him that he should be napping. But Student said he wanted to do other things. So God said unto him, you shall join a club at the beginning of the semester, but then never go to meetings. And Student asked why he should not go to meetings, and God told him, because the glee club is gay. And Student understood His wisdom.
IX- Thou Shalt Wake Up ConfusedGod said to Student, there will come many a day when you shall wake up in the bed of another and not know where you are. You will not remember what you did last night and you shall be confused. You will see that you have nipple rings and a tattoo now and are covered in Sharpie. And Student was disturbed by this, but God said, you shall tell great stories about it to your friends someday. And Student understood and God took a sip of a beer. And God gave Student the final Commandment
X- Thou Shalt Gain WeightAnd Student wished to hear the final commandment and God said he would not like it. But Student insisted, so God said unto him, you shall gain weight. However, God said, you will not buy new clothes, so you will wear sweat pants a lot. God said, Student, you will watch a lot of TV and become fat to which Student wept profusely. But God comforted Student saying, you will still get ass even if you cannot tie your shoes anymore. Student felt better and God pointed to Student’s chest saying, those will soon be bitch tits. And it was good.
This is the word of God, follow the Ten Commandments of College or you will be smote!
and I'm sick.
I- Thou Shalt NapAnd God gave unto Student a great gift, the gift of napping. God said to him, You shall spend half your day napping. You shall nap in class, in your room and in your friend’s room. And God said, if you don’t nap, you will not be able to stay up all night drinking. And Student said, Nap I shall, and it was good.

If You Wanna Be Free Take A Sip Of This Tea
So I think it has become evident that everyone is having a hard time just like I am. I'm really glad Doug Rob called me to make me feel better.
I hate crying. I did alot of that today, so now I have cry-face. I hate cry-face.
Doug is right. I really need to get out and do stuff. Join a club or even a study group. Today I ditched 2 out of my 3 classes, and had planned on doing alot of homework. I did one journal entry. I was also planning on going grocerie shopping, and instead of that I just ate alot of our food. And instead of going to my "spiritual advisor" dude, I cancelled, claiming I was "up to my ears on homework." When I was really just playing games on gsn.com. So now I'm going tomorrow at 1. After my only class ends at 11 Becca and I are gonna hang out, which I'm looking forward to since I haven't seen her in like a week. I haven't been hanging around campus like I did the first week. I've wanted to be home, but now I hate being here. I really want to be at home-home. In Santa Fe. But its not home-home anymore. Everyone is gone. My room is empty. I'm just thankful my family is still there. I'll see them Thursday at Zozobra I guess. That should be fun. Hell, I even miss St Mikes (but don't tell anyone). I miss Ms Chitwood and Mr White. Thor can still die though.
I'll be ok. I just don't adjust easily.
I hate crying. I did alot of that today, so now I have cry-face. I hate cry-face.

Its 9:39am, I have to leave for class in 21 minutes, and I just now noticed that I haven't even put on my makeup...even though I thought I was ready for school. And I just decided I'm not gonna wear any today, since I have already completed my get-ready-for-school process.
Kat and I went to Denver this weekend! Brian had to work, bummer. We went to see Guster, an awesome band that I saw with John Mayer 2 years ago in Santa Fe. The drummer plays with his hands! They are very happy music. Kat absolutely loved the concert, which I'm glad about. I forgot how energetic their shows are. I love them even more now.
So we actually thought that Howie Day was gonna be playing too, but I really just made that up in my brain for some reason. Kat and I were standing in line for the show, waiting for the gates to open, and all the sudden it all clicked. On Howie's tour card, this show wasn't on there. And he wasn't listed on the Guster tour printout I had, even though he was on there for all the shows before that. And no one knew he was playing. Weird. Mabye thats because I assumed he was playing with Guster since Guster had joined the Howie Day-Matt Nathanson-OAR tour for a couple weeks. Turns out the show we went to was the first without the rest of those acts. Thats really ok though, because that left Guster to play for about an hour and a half. I just felt like an idiot, but thats cool. I bought a Guster (or as Kat likes to call them, "Gunther") shirt with a llama on it! Its so cool. And its green! And its a llama!
The point is, we had a great time. On the way up to Denver, we played some car games with 2 17y/o boys, and had lunch with them in Pueblo. It was quite the adventure.
I'm still looking for a part time job since I'm getting pretty close to broke. Hopefully KivaJuice will call soon. Or I'll have to resort to Bob's Burgers.

I can't believe blogger is actually letting me post! Anytime I have actually wanted to post in the last month, I haven't been able to.
So I'm in Albuquerque now, living with Daniel, my brother, in a house on the west side of town, kind of near Rio Rancho. You know, not at all near campus. But its actually not bad. Only takes 15 minutes to get to campus if traffic is moving along, which is always is at 9 or 10 in the morning. Its nice having an actual house, instead of a dorm. I guess it levels itself out. When I go into everyone's dorms, its cool because its like they are living with dozens and dozens of people. Its very easy to be social, I would imagine. They are living AT college, instead of just being students there. I'm the only one among the St Mike's crowd that is not living on campus or near campus. Its ok though. Like I said, I have an actual house. With my own bathroom. And a big room where I can be naked and not have to worry about my roommate walking in on me. And I like my classes. Only two of my teachers are insane, and I actually really enjoy one of my classes -- my "ancient legacy" class. Its honors, which is cool, and its all discussion about old books like Giglamesh and The Iliad. And these kids can ACTUALLY discuss, which is really nice! It makes 2 and a half hours every week go by really quickly. Its such a weird feeling, ENJOYING a class. I could get used to this.
The weird thing is, I don't feel like a "college" kid. It doesn't seem like I have moved out of my house, even though I have packed up my entire room and haven't been back for almost 2 weeks. It seems like I am just on a vacation, and taking some classes while I'm at it. Like some freakish summer learning program. I have no rules. No parents. No curfew, no nothing! So much freedom. Too much, infact. I'm already broke. Well, I was for a day, till I deposited a check. Now I'm just close to being broke. I can't believe how much money I spent this summer. But its ok actually, because it was such an awesome summer. There's no way I will every forget it. Partying in the woods, peeing in front yards, sneaking into hot tubs and swimming pools downtown, climbing roofs and getting fiberglass splinters, going to concerts, getting addicted to ebay, and actually feeling good about myself. It was an incredible summer, I would have to say.
And of course I can't leave out the fact that last monday was the Dave Matthews Band concert. It was so fun, I can't even describe it. Fun doesn't even begin it! Paula, Kat, Harlie, Becca, Kat, Jess, and little Lorn all came. Paula and I had the best seats, about 10 rows back, a little to the left. Every year I get closer and closer to my band. All the other kids were chillin in the lawn. "You know the good thing about the lawn? Its kinda hard with all these chairs in the way up here, but in the lawn, you can bump uglies." -Dave
I got amazing pictures and recordings with my uber cool camera, and even got "tapped" by a security guard, since we weren't supposed to have cameras (like that ever stops me, hah!), and he obviously saw me repetedly holding my camera above the crowd for long periods of time, recording the band. He scared the shit out of me....but that doesn't mean I stopped doing it. Paula had my back the entire time too. Hah! Take that stupid security guard. You don't scare me! We visited Ryan at the Peak van and he gave us free stuff, and he even recognized Jess and I, which was very cool, since to me Ryan is a celebrity thats my buddy, just like Howie and Johnny Rzeznik! I had SO much fun during the show, holy shit. AWESOME set list, even though they didn't bust out #41. Our section of the audience was all the Warehouse members, and we sat next to this kick ass couple that I got to talk about the band to before the show, they were very cool, and kept offering us cigarettes. Anywho, the entire section was chanting "41" between most of the songs, which was very exciting! Its ok that they didn't play it, cuz they made up for it by playing Crush and Tim-fucking-Reynolds came out for the last songs!!! It was insane. Timmy hadn't played with the full band since 1998. I'm sure he was there since he lives in Santa Fe. It was awesome, he got very into Help Myself, and played with his teeth. Very impressive!

@ It was very cool, in Too Much, Dave, according to dmbalmanac.com, "extended scat outro with Lil' John's "YEAH! WHAT? YEAH! OK!" interpolation." When I listened back to this on my camera, I thought He might be doing Lil' John, but I also thought my brain was just making up shit, but it turns out he really was! How cool!
Hope everyone got their DMB fill there!
So I've noticed I am desperately clinging onto highschool. I'm still hanging out with Kat, Jess, Becca, Brian, David, and Bryan. I really miss Irena. I'm gonna miss Paula the most. Why the hell are these kids moving so fucking far away! Its too difficult! Now I realize that I really really loved highschool. Things were so fun, I got to see everyone everyday. Its hard now. Different schedules, different cities, different land masses. Paula, Harlie, and Kassi are still in Santa Fe, but its hard to find the time to travel just one hour. Not to mention gas money is low.
I really want to meet new people, and make new friends, but its hard when my old friends are still around and so easy to get ahold of. I met one guy, Nick, and loborientation, and we have math together, and we exchanged numbers, but thats all I've done so far. And no romantic posibility, as he is definitely quite gay. But he's an awesome kid.
I miss home.
Kat, Brian, and I are most likely heading up to Denver this weekend, to catch Howie! He's playing not only with Matt Nathanson and OAR again, but with Guster too! I love Guster! I saw them 2 years ago with John Mayer, and absolutely loved them! They are very happy music, so I'm very excited. I really shouldn't go though, since I don't have much money. But I want to go really really bad. Its as exciting as Dave! Howie AND Guster...I will pop. Maybe I'll ask Howie to be my boyfriend, since I already refer to him as that. And Brian and I are gonna have him record our voice mails, so he says "Hey, this is Howie Day, leave Katie/Brian a message." and for me he could also say something like "Katie is the most beautiful girl in the world and we are getting married and are gonna have one thousand little Howie-haired babies." ...or something like that.
Phew.

I met Howie Day!!!! It was amazing! Brian and I went to his show last Thursday night (July 22) at the Sunshine Theater, and since I'm a rep for Howie online we got to work his merch booth and then after the show we met him! It was wonderful and amazing and I died! He's perfect in everyway, so hot, such beautiful hair, perfect smile, great body....ahhh....
I love Howie.
And the only thing I remember from Buddy's class is that idolization and infatuation are both pitfalls of romance. Shit.
Ok, but at the time I was actually really cool and mellow. Well, thats because I was too tired to physically respond, since I had also been at the John Mayer show the night before. I was a little sleep deprived. So Howie is like the nicest person I've ever met. He was so cool and nice about signing our shit and posing for pictures, and when I asked him for a hug he was just like "sure!" and he was so cute. I've also noticed that in most of his pictures with fans, he smiles with his mouth closed, which hides how hot he is. However, in my picture with him, he's smiling with his teeth showing! He didn't do that for Brian or Lindsey (another rep that worked with us)! This means he was truly happy with me...probably from my outstanding beauty. Who knows. The point is, I made him happy, which makes me happy :D
and I am too dumb to post the picture right on here...or its just being an asshole, so just go here!

So lately all I do is work and sleep and hang out with friends, which is why I'm never home, which is why I never post. Is that good enough of an excuse for everyone? Good!
So I started working at Souper!Salad! almost a month ago. Its cool...all the hot guys in Santa Fe eat there. Well, not all of them...but alot of them. Plus I get to push buttons all day, which is something I've always wanted to do. The downside is our uniform is the same as St. Mike's clothes, only a little cooler, and less strict. My managers rock, and I get free food. I work 11-3 and 5-8 Tuesday through Saturday, so everyone come visit me! (and no I can't get you free food...but you could get yourself free food if you just walk in and only order water, pretending like you lost your receipt. Very easy. Especially since I don't pay attention.)
Anywho all my concerts are coming up! I've got John Mayer & Maroon 5 on July 21, Howie Day (yayyyyy!!!) the next day on July 22, then Alanis Morrissette & The Barenaked Ladies on Aug 1, and then DMB on Aug 23rd. Yay for concerts!
I also have a debit card now, which is the most dangerous thing I can think of myself owning. I can't stop spending money. I've become a shopaholic, in shops and online (especially online. and now I have discovered ebay. uh oh.)
yup.

I know I haven't posted in a about 2 million years. Sorry. Actually its only been about a month and a half. Prom was ok, but got busted booooozin' it up buddy and got suspended, which was actually really nice. Graduated, which rocked. And now I'm working and sleeping and.....other stuff. You never know who reads this thing, even though NO ONE leaves comments.
I'm quiting the Firebird, as the boss' daughter is stealing my job, but its ok cuz it was planned for her to take over my job cuz I'm movin' away to Alb. I wanna work in a coffee shop -- thats what my mom, my sister, and I decided where I needed to work. I've also decided I need to work somewhere where I can meet guys.
Guys suck. And they're weird. But I still love 'em.
I'm glad Howie Day makes it known that girls can get on his tour bus. Now there's the motivation I need for my diet!!
Speaking of which, I've decided I'm addicted to food. Is there a Food-eaters Anonymous?

I wrote this down in my phone about a week ago, and just now got around to typing it up:
I was just about to fall asleep, and I faintly heard Crash Into Me on my radio, so I turned it up. I had a very emotional couple of minutes, lying in bed listening to one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, both out of happiness. It was a state of bliss, complete NIRVANA. Its hard for me to explain how much this band really means to me. With each of their songs I heard, I go back to my memory of when I first really listened to each song. Its one of my favorite emotions, remembering those situations. It is one of the most peaceful feelings I have ever felt, and aI love it. I frst really listened to Crash when I was camping at Vallecitos, the most beautiful lake. Everytime I heara song off that album, I immediately see gigantic pine trees peacefullyl flowing in the wind. I love it.
