Practiced for four hours tonight and somehow I still have my voice. Weird. I must be doing something right. I'm so stoked on our new song. I can't wait to record. Next weeeeeeek!



ATTN: Josh Stark! I think you'll appreciate the lyrical content of the new song.



Now, let's see if I can actually sleep tonight. It's about three weeks since I've had a decent night's sleep, so I'm not getting my hopes up, but I am completely exhausted.

Sleep...
Sleep...
Sleep...
Sleep...



Oh, and I have the best dog in the world. Challenge me on this, I dare you...

I just had a minor (read: major) freak out session! I'm working on booking the last few shows of our summer tour and got some awesome news that I am too excited to articulate at the moment. I'll elaborate later when I'm done freaking out and things are finalized.

I guess all the bad shit happened to make room for THIS!!!!!

Does anyone else want to join the "fuck Sarah over" club?

Ok, I'm totally over feeling like garbage all the time. I'm enlisting my livejournal friends for help. Here is a list of my symptoms, if you have any idea as to what might be wrong or any suggestions to fix me, I'm open.

-Constant fatigue
-Difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep
-Decrease in appetite (I can barely eat a whole bowl of cereal)
-Slight trouble breathing
-Extreme irritability
-Trouble concentrating
-Forgetfulness

And on top of all that, I seem to constantly be fighting off a cold or a sore throat or an earache or something...

I'm so frustrated. Not having insurance is horrible.

Anxious.
Anxious.
Anxious.
Anxious.

I'm ready to hit the road. The anticipation is building. Its nice having something like tour to look forward to. It makes the days seem a lot less stressful and even makes them go by faster. We're going to California with Antietam next weekend. It should be a good time! Can't wait.

Anxious.
Anxious.
Anxious.
Anxious.


Does anyone have any Countdown to Life or Welcome to Your Life that I can borrow? John, I'm looking at you...

Migraines are ruining my life.

I'm beat. All of the muscles in my body hurt. It hurts to walk, or even move. And this makes me so so so excited for tour. I can't wait to feel like this every day. Someone at our show on Friday night told me "you can just see all of the stress and anger and negative emotions leave you while you're screaming. You must feel so good right now." It's true. That's exactly how I feel after I play. Like nothing in the world matters, pure happiness. I want to feel like that every night.


I'm really sad that the Take Control guys have now left us and are on their way back to Iowa. They are seriously the greatest guys even and I'm sincerely going to miss them. I wish we could make it to their last show...

New Mexico was a blast. I'm very excited for Antietam.

Show in Santa Barbara on June 21st and Disneyland on the 20th. So stoked!

I don't believe in anything worth fighting for, worth dying for. I don't believe the clouds are hiding much more than a reason to downpour. So what would you do if you were me? Give up, forget, go back to sleep…

Oh. My. God. So. Damn. Cute.

From now on, I will watch this video every day before I do anything. Seriously.



Seriously.

Some bands give me goose bumps. I need more bands like that in my life.

I THINK we found another guitar player.....
An amazing guitar player.

Money is ammunition to fend off America.
America will not break me.
America will not lull me into a false sense of security.
I don't trust America at all.
I love the place, but it's like keeping a crocodile.
It's not a pet, the don't hug the damn thing, its a fucking crocodile.


I love him.

This is for Anna.

I'm alive. America is still the same and Arizona is starting to get hot. I've been listening to way too much NPR lately and should probably cut that out if I want to keep my sanity. I've been more interested in eating delicious snacks that actual meals lately. Snacks are just way for fun. Especially Reese's peanut butter cups. Things with that band kind of went to shit, but we're working on it. Work is pretty awesome. With the exception of Thursdays (my new least favorite day of the week,) I'm pretty okay with getting up and going to work every day. I guess that's about it for now.

Remember that time when Ready Resist had a guitar player?





Yeah, that was a good time.






...lasts forever.

Please, please, please don't let this be happening again. This it the LAST fucking thing I need right now...


Of course this would happen to me. Of course this would happen now.

Tyler and I wrote the greatest song the other night! I plan on having writing sessions with him more often.

All I have to say is go watch "The Orphanage" and ruin your life and make it better all at the same time.

Talk about a bum out....

It's really interesting to me that now that its April, everyone all of a sudden gives a fuck. And as soon as May comes around, everyone will go back to not caring. Such is life, I suppose...


Show tomorrow. I'm pretty stoked. I read Kingdom's blog last night and it was hilarious. I can't wait to play with them. And I'm super siked to see Red Son again.
