"Without you, the stars roar the breeze warms, the girl smiles, the cloud moves."

I'm watching Rent and if you haven't seen this movie, I highly reccomend you go get it now and do so. I really connect with the character Mimi. I love it.
Last weekend was the Mercy Street Music Festival at my church. It was amazing. We collected so much canned goods that the food bank had to make several trips. Plumb was...astounding. That's the only word I can think of to describe it. Every song gave me chills but when she sang Cut, I lost it. I had to curl up in my seat to keep my body from shaking and my mom was holding my hand and crying too. I already loved that song but seeing her sing it live, litterally 3 feet from me was just, wow. The other band Wideawake, was just pure high energy and sexy rock-ness. The music was awesome but that lead singer smiling down at me and winking was just fun.
The most awkward part of that day was the fact that my ass was on thousands of flyers all over the festival. The weekend before I was asked if I could be in a picture, it was supposed to be from the knees down. They wanted to show the diversity of people through our shoes. I was like yea awesome. Well, turns out they liked the wider shot and my ass was the only one facing the camera. I had a guy come up and ask if I could autograph my butt. Hah, it was weird.
I'm still not okay, and I know most of you don't want to hear about it so I will keep things light and fluffy if I can. For now, back to Rent.

Don't worry about posting what you think we want to hear. Write what you need to write.

The concert sounds wonderful and who cares about the butt poster; it will give you something to brag about when you're 80.

Take Care
