Excited.

After Justin gets off of work, he's taking me to pick up a new iPhone 3G. I'm so excited! I don't know whether I want the black or the white... I guess I'll see what's available when I'm able to get to the store.

Last night, we went to see Marissa's friends' band at the Broadway Oyster Bar. First off, no matter what city you're in... jam band fans really are the same. It's definitely been a while since I've seen so much tie-dye. And dreads. I remember when I was in high school, I used to totally have crushes on the boys with blue eyes and dreads. It was so Lisa Simpson volunteers to live in the tree...

Anyways, I snatched a flute from one of the musicians and while I couldn't remember any Bach or Mozart's Magic Flute or even my Hovey exercises, I was able to remember some of Bizet's The Pearl Fishers. Despite not touching the instrument for six years and having a couple of drinks in me, I still had some skillz.

Of course, I was teased by friends. You meet me now and you would never have guessed that I was a band nerd and I used to play the flute competitively. Or even more so, that I was a nerd that used to like guys that wore tie-dye, mandals, and dreadlocks.

I came home and started rambling to Justin about how I played the flute. And that I want to restore my old flute and how I can start practicing again. He said maybe we can make me a padded box to practice in... Ah yes, that's why I don't play the flute anymore.

Eh, better start getting cleaned up so I can start my day. Can't wait to see Kevin tonight while Justin plays in some poker tournament.
