Hi there,
Sorry I haven't been around much. I'm still adjusting to my new space. I go through stages where I'm completely overwhelmed with happiness, then within minutes I'm in complete despair. It makes no sense at all, but I've been told (and I kinda remember from past experience) that this is normal.
Plus, the dude is prepping to leave me for a month, so I've been focusing on quality time if I can grab him away from his pre-tour duties for a bit. He doesn't appreciate me talking about him in a public forum, this one especially, but I haven't asked him in a while if he still cares. Silence is consent, right?
Sorry babe, but I'm going to go ahead and give the tour a plug, I'm sure you'll understand. I'll try to be as cryptic as possible.
Anywho, both bands will be at Maryland Death Fest this weekend and if you have the means, you should go!

Then, right after a few shows on the East Coast, he's off to Europe

I guess I'm going to be in my new city all alone for a while, hopefully it will do me some good to miss him again. I should be used to it.
I'm going to take a moment, since I have this soapbox at my disposal, and remind you all to support your favorite bands by going to shows. With gas prices these days, it makes it almost impossible for smaller bands, that tour, to make any money. It was bad before, but now it's worse. Yet, the price of admission to a club/bar show has stayed relatively the same for roughly 15 years (give or take). Some bands don't get guarantees, and even if they do, it's not much. In short, I encourage you to bite the bullet, and pay to get in to that show. If these guys don't at least make enough money to break even (which, in most cases, is best case scenario) the underground scene will die. I don't know about you, but that is a very scary thought to me. So go to that show, get yourself a t-shirt...hell, get two t-shirts, knock yerself out!
So anyway, I'm going to ride my bike around, familiarize myself more with the area and really try to get out of this weird place in my head. I'll be alright, don't worry about me.
This photo makes me happy when I see it, enjoy!

Murderfest was awesome! Here are a few pics:

I miss LA, but I love the Bay Area more and more everyday!
I just got a bike and I'm totally in love with it! It's a little Japanese Miyata with a belt drive. No chain, it's crazy and so smooth. I had pictures of it, but forgot to save them before the ad on Craiglist was removed. Anyway, it's totally cute and unique, like me
Edit: I lied, here's one

I took it out on a long ass ride with the dude yesterday, it was our "unofficial" 2 year anniversary. I still have just as much of a crush on him as I did then. If you're reading this babe, I love you so much. I'm so lucky to have you in my life!
Anywho, let's see, what else....I got glasses today and I LOVE them! I don't have to wear them all the time, but they're all super cute and nice kind of name brand. Not that I'm into brand names, but it's nice to get nice things when you're going to have it for a while

I'm going to wear them to this show tonight

Come out, come out! This show is gonna rule ma balls!
OH! And I saw "Iron Man" on Friday. Hands down, one of the best super hero movies ever made.
Srsly, go see it!

I promise I'll have something interesting to say very soon, until then, I'm off to L.A. for the weekend to go to this

Home-sweet-home!
I'm excited
xoxo

Still kinda in a blur.
I apologize for not getting back to you peeps in a timely and consistent manner, but I simply have been buried in...stuff. I really enjoy being more interactive, but I haven't been doing much outside of work.
I'm working like crazy, which is good, but I really don't have time to do anything on the internet anymore but research.
And when I'm off, I find that I'm a bit "stunned" for a lack of a better word, which makes me a bit mum.
I wish I had something new or exciting to post, maybe even a picture. Maybe next time.
It's really weird being new, but not new.
I've been here a million times, but I still get lost constantly.
I have friends, just no one that I know really well and I'm having some time management issues (see above)
I have been going to a few shows and there's one coming up this week/weekend that you should check out if you live in The Bay:
Thursday @ Maxwell's Lounge
Middian
Indian
Laudanum
And

That's another thing I'm getting used to, is not being able to listen to my music at work. It's killing me.
On the other hand, I'm enjoying having a little extra cash and I'm shopping all the cute little stores they have in the back of "BUST" magazine.
I love my new place and my new roommate. We have a house which is really nice and I'm getting inspired and making it all homey
She has 2 Boston Terriers(one is deaf and makes up for it with the cutest personality) and her boyfriend has a Pug. Add my little Wiener dog into the mix and you have one bad ass gang of little dogs.
I wish I had some pictures, I die of cuteness all the time.
Of course, it's nice being around my man a lot more. It's making me realize, however, that I'm not a very nice person. Maybe it's the stress? i hope he doesn't notice.
Anyway...i guess I did have a few things to talk about?
I'm sure I even forgot a few things, but like I said, my brain is mush.
I never thought I'd say this, but I miss you LA!
I am happy though, I just miss you
See you at Murderfest!
xoxo,
Lizzi

I can't think of anything to say....
