such a wonderful birthday. i can't believe i am nineteen years old but then "all the most important people in new york are nineteen." i feel like this still applies to me in south hadley.
we all went out last night to see fool's gold and local natives and it was just a confirmation of why i love music. local natives covered talking heads warning sign... so fantastic. when fool's gold played this ten-minute jammed-out version of surprise hotel i was so happy i can't even describe it to you. we were in the second or third row just dancing like crazy with absolutely no space to really do so. it's so amazing to me how they just jam the living daylights out of these sweet little afro-pop songs, all the vocals in hebrew, flute and saxophone... so much fun. at the end of the night i talked for a bit to lewis pesacov who plays the guitar and i told him about my radio show with lauren and that we played his record about once a show. he thanked me for that and then he thanked danielle and i for dancing. it was such a fun night, absolutely no words! i love going to see bands that are happy to play for you, and they all appeared quite pleased to be playing for us. it was a lovely night.
anyway tonight the closest dining hall has my favorite dinner AND my mom ordered me a giant cookie that says "happy birthday sweetie" on it so we're going to have people over for dessert. but meanwhile emma and i are just going to groove to surprise hotel (we've played it about 5-6 times today)!

we just discovered there's a bathtub in our bathroom so i'm going to do a zooey glass sometime this semester and read in the bathtub. that was always my favorite part of franny and zooey because the description is so sexy in this roundabout awkward way.
we're kicking out the brahms in our room and earlier we had scheherezade on. everything is good. this is what my new home looks like:

matt beringer came down with us and sang mr. november: "i'm the great white hope i'm the new blood i won't fuck us over." it poured throughout the national and vampire weekend. we'd been third row since before fleet foxes. robin pecknold told us a story about a white mini cooper with the license plate SHADOWFAX. in front of me jordan and anthony and chad yelled all the words to mykonos and blue ridge mountains - "you go wherever you go today. you go wherever you go today." i took off my shoes and left them in the mud when vampire weekend played a-punk and ladies of cambridge and walcott because they were sticking and wouldn't come out.

after monday i am done, and i know at the end of that day i will feel so good. so i am just waiting for that day. i might be getting into lykke li june 1 for free. i want to drive around in the sun every second of my life. i wrote about discovery for pma and then twitter blessed me with this and this. i think he means "write-up" and i wonder whether "sweet" denotes "really nice" or "awesome." last night though it was raining and i was in the car with osaka loop line on and everything was so good.
and they found everett ruess's body!

LUPINE OOLOGY aka. my fake band with katie, cath, and fiorenza, is up and running and we have recorded one song called "ethan frome (prelude)." it basically summarizes key points of the book with some creative garageband and looping.

just got back last night to news that late of the pier are playing in NYC april 1. who is coming with me.
FRANCE WAS AWESOME:
this is KT and i essentially having a food orgasm. once finishing the eclairs we talked about them for 30+ minutes. it was so tasty we seemed to be confusing areas of the brain relating to feelings about things (this makes no sense). eating it was pretty much the same feeling i got when i had my bittie crisis a little while ago. CRAZY.
was on the guest list for ra ra riot but could not go as i wasn't allowed out of the hotel. i did get to see peaches n' gregg cover flume on top of the eiffel tower, though.
just gonna put it out there that jonas_secrets' sporadic updating is possibly the most annoying thing ever. i just want to see some unintentionally hilarious macros about babies, clouds, and their relation to kevin jonas.
