Modern Nature...

i found a review about Sondre Lerche's concert at the Maxwell in NJ...

i suppose it was a few days after his concert at the Rock and Roll Hotel in DC (the one i went to with carrie...

and it's perfect.

this part took me back to that crowded room in DC, with all of the adults drinking their PBR, swaying to his music:

Sondre Lerche has a way of being cute that’s a little bit infuriating. Not because it’s tiresome, but because every time he pauses between songs and talks to the crowd, I want to hug him, in the least creepy way possible. He has a way of talking to his fans as if they are his friends....

...he pulls the crowd together, reduces us for a moment to what we really are: people. People in love and people in lust and people confused and people heartbroken—it's evident at the end of his set, when we are all thoroughly spent, and he smiles and introduces one more song, “Modern Nature.” The crowd sings the part of Lillian Samdall, and there’s no better conclusion. We're all for one moment connected to him, to his music, and to each other, and that's pretty awesome.

i loved that part.....the part when we all sang along with him during Modern Nature.

yes, it happened in DC, too. we all sang Lillian Samdall's part. it was quite beautiful.

and made me really happy.

and i'm sure others were really happy at that moment, too.

carrie and i sang along, grinning at each other. it was definitely a great way to start my spring break.

now that i think about it, it happened almost exactly a week ago....sometime after 11PM tonight.

i'm still very happy about it.

cheesy as this may sound, i hope i never forget how i felt while standing in the Rock and Roll Hotel.

lots of good.

things have been abnormally decent lately.

1. there is a male. he likes me. we're happy.

BUT, in all honesty, i was very surprised. it was all rather sudden. but i'm not complaining. i had a huge crush on him last semester.

i wish i was better about keeping up with this/looking back at twitter was easier. i distinctly remember tweeting something along the lines of "indie-genius-hottie switched his seat in human rights. he's sitting next to me now. hot damn!"

september-sasha must be dying. hahaha~

2. I MET NORWEGIAN SINGER-SONGWRITER SONDRE LERCHE.

LAST FRIDAY. WITH CARRIEBOO.

I AM STILL RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY.

AND I THOUGHT I WAS ALREADY REALLY HAPPY ABOUT MATT.

it was quite an adventure to get to the concert. and then sondre didn't start his set until 11PM. and then i met him after midnight. BUT we still had to walk back to Union station. oh lord. Washington, D.C. at night is not like Harrisonburg at night. hahaha~

got my knee stuck in a metro train door (turns out they don't reopen like an elevator door. thankfully, people on the platform got the door open!! and then carrie was able to board the train. not getting separated from carrie/my kneecap, FTW!!)

and we didn't get home until 3AM. BUT IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. :D

3. it's spring break. been chilling with friends and family all week.

got a new cell phone. had my old hunk of junk since august 2007. i'm content with my new one. still getting used to it.

saw Alice with my parents, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs with sara & mish....

went to the National Zoo with sara, mish, and matthew yesterday....

and i guess i'm just spending the last 2.5 days of break finishing up things? maybe?

i think i might just play it by ear. like i usually do.
