For weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and then some more weeks, I'd been looking forward to this. Ever since he told me there was a new album coming out, I knew this was maybe my one and only chance to see them. Live. Live. Live. Weeks, and weeks passed. Everyday I checked, only to be dissapointed. Until one day, there it was. June 6th, 2008. The day my life would seriously be complete. I was extatic, I even posted about it here. I nearly peed my pants with joy. Weeks passed, and finally the new album, on may 13th. I couldn't wait, nuh huh, I went at lunch. (Props to best buy opening near my school). I listened to it every night, counting down the days. But with everyday it got closer, the less real it seemed. I was sitting in class, thinking about it, but I couldn't register it. People were shocked by how unenthused I was, but I couldn't help it. It was real in my mind. And it carried on like this, until there I was, standing in the crowd, front row, only a meter or two away from Ben. There he was, with his hair, and his beard, and his voice, and his guitar. There, right there. I felt weak in the knees, I was light headed, I breathed heavy. They played and played, and still, I could not register. No way. It wasn't real. I was going to wake up, and it would all be a dream. Someone, pinch me. Two hours, probably more. Just, wow. It finished, my feet throbbed, my throat was raw and my ears rung. Everything spun, and she just hugged me. I could have cried. I could have sat there and balled. But I didn't, I wanted to be happy, this was the happiest moment in my life so far... We bought shirts and talked to friends and headed down to sit on the docks. We let the night surround us, and still it would not sink in that I had seen them. Live. Right there, in front of me, real people, live. Still now, sitting here, hours later, I can not let it sink it. But I know it happened. I felt it, I heard it, I remember it.
There are just no words to express how much it meant to me. No words to express my lov for them. No words to express any of the things I felt, experienced and witnessed tonight. It was a pure oblivion of bliss. My heart beat so fast, my voice went so loud, my feet hurt so much, and every second of it, every single milisecond was more and more worth it.
I still can not believe, I still can not express, everything... simply everything was perfect, perfect, perfect. A night to remember, a night to cherish, a night to keep reliving in the depths of my mind over and over for a long, long, long time.
Death Cab For Cutie, Ben, Chris, Nick, Jason.

Transatlanticism
The Atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how
The clouds above opened up and let it out
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean
Making islands where no island should go
Oh, no
Most people were overjoyed; they took to their boats
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door
Have been silenced forevermore
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
Oh, no
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
So come on, come on
So come on, come on
So come on, come on
So come on, come on I closed my eyes,
Let the sounds enter,
And my body sway.
At this moment I was
infinite.

Staring at this pizza, I can't help but feel jipped.
Why would you ruin such a good thing,
With a disgusting thing like onions?

Sitting, not looking
Frozen in time...
Walking away,
Staying behind.
Avoiding, sitting, avoiding
No choice, no more
Save one, save one.
A long walk,
Hot dogs,
South park,
Laughs.
A favorite.

Part 1:
The Invasion
learn to ask, not pry.
learn to listen, not hear.
learn to talk, not rant.
learn to appreciate, not use.
learn to see, not watch.
learn to walk, and maybe we won't run.

I want to, I need to, I have to know it all.
Every tiny aspect.
What happened?
Why are you here?
I read your words,
You touched my heart.
Now let me touch yours.
There is just something..
Something about you.
And I love it.
I love you.
A stranger,
completely,
and yet you mean more,
than family.
Kamin?
Let me in.

I remember walking, arms linked, the three of us, unstoppable. I remember making fun of her, and laughing. Ah yes, laughing. I remember watching in ah. I remember the muffins and fruitopia. I remember avoiding freaks and defeating the evil nero. I remember when we both loved and had her. I remember when we would all sit and copy homework. I remember when we used to hate him... a lot. I remember becoming friends with her. I remember the party. That famous party. I think that was the last time everything was as it should be. I think that was the final goodbye to high school as we knew it. I think what happened after that was "the snowball effect." I believe my snowball is two million times my size, and still rolling (at high speeds might I add). And then I remember, when everything changed. I remember when she cried, a lot. I remember when she lied, a lot. I remember finding out she lied. I remember not being me. I remember that infamous walk home over the overpass, when things snapped inside me. I remember the thoughts that escalated. I remember the tears, the tears, the tears. I remember looking back, as I am now.
And still, I can not figure out,
what happened?
