AN ODE TO PAUL MCCARTNEY

This summer I had the most incredible experience of seeing Sir Paul McCartney of the Beatles, LIVE IN CONCERT!!!

Me in my supah cool homemade Paul t-shirt that I made for the concert!!








(a couple pix of my fave!!!! all found on the internet)

So Paul and his amazing band came to Minneapolis and my mom and I totally scored and got some really nice field tickets!!! We were so close to him, it was surreal. He played SO MANY Beatles songs and a ton of Wings songs and I knew almost all of them and it was amazing and I cried. He did a tribute to both John and George and it was very sweet and sad and then during Live and Let Die there were HUGE EXPLOSIONS and fireworks and confetti and it was literally so cool and brilliant and UGGGHHHHHH even though it was over 3 hours of concert and over 80 degrees outside he didn't even stop to take a sip of water!!! And he played the piano and his original bass and his guitar and I could have gone on for another 3 hours.. and another!!!!!!!!! People say that aging rockstars aren't as talented as they used to be but this man has such a strong voice and he can rock so hard and literally. It was like seeing Jesus or something.

Here's what the setlist was:



    As you can see, he played all of the best songs in the world and basically it was the best night of my entire life. Of course I'm devastated that John and George are dead, but I'm glad that Paul is still keeping the Beatles flame alive. And the Wings, for that matter. LONG LIVE SIR PAUL!!!!!

    Hello Again



    Hey, friends, if you're still there. I'm still alive! I'm pretty sure it has been over a year since I've blogged on here, but I recently got very inspired and want to continue journaling about my life on the world wide web.
    I made it to college. I am officially a Macalester Scot and live in a teeny dorm room with a dripping sink and horrific carpeting. But, I've managed to make it look somewhat cozy, I think:

    I love my lil corner. My roommate and I get a long pretty well, although it has been an adjustment to not having my nice big bedroom and a bathroom to myself. (I HATE COMMUNAL BATHROOMS THEY ARE LITERALLY THE WORST PART ABOUT COLLEGE OMG)
    But anyway, I'm two weeks in and I think I'm doin pretty well. I haven't made a lot of friends but I am joining a literary and arts magazine club and a Scrabble club, which I hope will allow me to meet more people who are like me.
    While I'm pretty close to home, I'm still really homesick. I guess I'm just so attached to my family and my house (which we're moving out of, by the way) that seeing them once a week is still kind of not enough. Whatever, I'll get over it.
    Here's something that I've been watchin lately that has made me very happy:
    MY FAVORITE SHOW + MY FAVORITE SONGS AND MY FAVORITE GIRL LINDSAY WEIR.
    I'm nostalgic for a time and place in which I do not live. It's already cold here and it's only September and I miss the warm summer days where I didn't feel like I had to socialize with people that I didn't know. I don't know if any of this is making sense but I had to get it out there.
    I'll leave you with some pictures of things/people that cheer me up a lil bit.
    I hope that everyone has been havin a great school year!!!!!
