radio heart.

I have been doing nothing all day. Lethargy has used its limp, clammy grip and managed to wrap my brain in its disgusting, effortless grasp. I am not sick. I am just nothing.

Last night was fantastic and epic, cathartic and just plain ol' good fun. I was a paper boat floating in the atlantic ocean, or, in less poetic terms, a tall skinny kid in the middle of a Futureheads mosh pit. I think most of the time I just yelled what parts of the chorus I knew and danced and tried not to let anyone fall around me. Joseph and I emerged with our shirts a darker, sweat-stained color, smiling and pleased with the amount of pushing, pulling, and yelling we had accomplished.

I noticed that the parents of one of the opening bands was there. It was refreshing to see a 50 year old, bald man singing along, and then the singer giving his dad (this is all assumption by the way. for some reason, I just think that people of a more advanced age at concerts simply must be there because they are the parents of either the band or a fan) a smile.

I should get back to the nothing. I'm proud I blogged at all.

Reading your posts is giving me the same sensation I get when I ride roller coasters.

BTW is your bed made? Is your sweater on? And really you should wear a hat because you lose so much heat through your head...

I can't tell if that's a good thing or not, mother.

I wear a knit cap and look foolish. My bed is made, and my sweater is on. and slippers and warm socks as well. I refuse to get sick again. ever in my life.

I love roller coasters.

One day and one week.

I hope it snows for you.

AND it's 8:00 and I'm not yet in bed.
