Hold your glass up, hold it in // never betray the way you've always known it is

Sleep again after 7:00 A.M. store meeting is of no use, I give up. Man I just got The Shins 'Oh, Inverted World' 2 days ago and it's like an instant classic. I bumped into Raj and Chris at Best Buy that day and they were having all cd's like $13.99 and below as $9.99 so I picked it up as I'd always wanted to, knowing that it had 'New Slang' on it (Sam: "Here, listen to this song (hands Largeman headphones)...it'll change your life") and I put it in right off and the first track was 'Caring is Creepy' (also from the 'Garden State') and I hadn't seen that it was on there and it was just great. I got to hang out with Melissa today/yesterday! My bestest lady friend and I had some coffee/hot cocoa for a few hours and then watched a film called 'Happenstance' (with our beloved Audrey Tautou), freely talking of all things in between. It's so fun to see her (she lives in the Rhode Island for most days save these bunched up T-giving/X-mas holidays), she listens to all the crazy things that I say (or at least is very good at pretending to, j/k it's the former) and puts up with my horrible social tendencies (interrupting when I get excited, being "pompous" and more). It was really nice, like for some time for me it's been either these short high's (where I think my feet get a little too far off the ground, you know the feeling?) or those lows/fatigued times, either one or the other, but tonight it was just like a calm-cheerful middle, which might not sound like much of a compliment, but it really really is. I'm way lucky to have her as an amiga.
