Things Unexpected

It has been exactly a year since I started this blog, which is impressive since I almost never stick to a project for more than a couple months. What an interesting year it has been! It is kind of awesome to be able to look back on it through the blog. Mostly it proves that I actually did more than just sit on front of my computer with a sleeping kitty in my lap.

Life is unexpected. Honestly, I never know what is going to happen tomorrow, let alone off in the future. For example, I had no idea that my best friend would buy me tickets to see my favorite band.

I also didn't anticipate leaving my ipod on the plane when I flew up to San Francisco for said concert. After refusing to let it ruin the day, my concert buddy (best friend's roomie) announced that she had an extra one just laying around. See how things just work out? 

So my new (to me) ipod is amazing. It is a lavender ipod mini (pre-nano) and it is the same size as my cell phone. 

Anyway, back to the Modest Mouse concert. From what I can remember, the playlist was this, but probably not in this order:

Bury Me With It

Satin in a Coffin

Dashboard

Fire It Up

King Rat

The Whale Song

Float On

Cowboy Dan

I Came as a Rat

Satellite Skin

The View

Encore:

Dramamine

Tiny Cities Made of Ashes

I'm pretty sure I am missing at least two songs. All I know is that when they played The Whale Song, I thought my chest was going to explode. It was that good. 

So the past year has taught me more about appreciation, mostly for the wonderful people in my life. It's funny, I moved away to prove that I could take care of myself, but it made me realize how no one does it alone. We all get help. If anything, everyone has been more helpful since I left home. 

Another thing I did not expect.
