I don't think I have the ability to be truly obsessed with something.  I think people who are genuinely obsessed with something and can't control themselves are... maybe sick in some way. But I was tired of skimming the surface and finally had to dive head first into this freak fest that is the music scene of knoxville. I have to hold on with both hands now because... I don't know why. I just have to. So now this is officially my "thing" and I'm just going for it with my whole heart, and improving more quickly than I ever have. And maybe someday I will produce the PERFECT NOTE that will cure somebody.

And on a similar note (har), after a brief period of uncertainty last semester, I quickly realized that I could not be apart from the most remarkable person I know, aka the only man I have every loved, aka Thad.

So we all came together, me and cello and thad and sarah jordan and we drank and drank for days and never got hungover because we drank a secret love potion that made us love each other forever and prevented us from ever feeling bad again.
