i am alive again.

Monday, May 26th, 2008

wow! yesterday was a tired tired day. but i survived and am alive to talk about it today so this is good!

the reason i was so dead yesterday is that i had my first marathon training practice! about a week ago i decided to register for a marathon this october with Team in Training, a branch of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. i am a big supporter of blood cancer research, so to be running in honor of the LLS is very meaningful to me. i am incredibly excited to take this on.

this also means that i might make a habit of posting a bit later on mondays since my long runs will always be on sundays. right now that doesn’t mean much… but in a few months that will mean a few hours of running… AH! so i’ll need to recuperate on sundays and record blogs early monday.

the el rey was SO FUN! oh my goodness… this was my first time having a curtain open on me and wow was that crazy to be staring at a wall of red and suddenly see hundreds of faces smiling up at you. i wanted to hug every one of them. i played “message” at the end of the set and everyone started singing along… i almost died of happiness. i have dreamt of that moment. thank you all for making it real :)

oh plus i met emceemiko at the show!! twas quite a treat. i even saw him in the crowd dancing all cool-style to my songs like only a true emcee would :)

oovrets questions of the week:
What was the first album you purchased? ace of base
At what venue did you first publicly perform one of your songs? AP Calculus, CAPO valley high school, 2002
What was the first song (cover) you learned to play on the guitar? I don’t even know what the song is called, but it was that song that goes “hello world, this is me, life should be fun for everyone”
What was your first job? barista at diedrich coffee!
To whom did you give your first fan autograph? oh hmm. i don’t remember. i’m not sure when people asking for my autograph went from feeling like a silly joke people were playing on me to a legitimate request… haha
