“Is that what you wore to the theater?” my friend Dann asked me as I greeted him in my duck boots, tall socks, tank, and–oh yeah, a black tutu.
“No,” I said, laughing.
“Well, I wouldn’t be surprised,” he said, laughing, too now.
See, the head of wardrobe was graciously offering to sew some hooks and eyes on the tutu that I am wearing for Halloween, which is why I had to wear it for a little bit at the theater tonight.
But that’s not why I had to wear it at a bar tonight.
I didn’t.
Have to wear it, I mean.
Except that my friend’s friend saw the tutu and asked me to put it on–and then everyone was asking me to put it on–so I slipped it on over my sweater pants, see, and then we did a couple of lifts in a small bar in Media at around one am.
Not so bad for a Thursday night, I guess.
And about the sweater pants I was wearing. At one point, the bar tender came right up to me and said that my pants look like pajama bottoms. Now, there’s nothing wrong with pajama bottoms, and if you’re in the right place at the right time–say, in the comfort and privacy of your own home at bedtime, then there’s just about everything right with pajama bottoms–but I really love my sweater pants, and they are NOT. PAJAMA. BOTTOMS. So I simply said, “Okay. They’re not,” with the kind of inflection that puts a period right on the end of the sentence, leaving no invitation for further discussion on the matter.
And about the tutu. No, I hadn’t actually had a drop of alcohol, if that’s what you’re thinking. I have been told before that I don’t really need alcohol–I still haven’t figured out if that’s a compliment or not.
Right, so that happened.

Here is some news, in no particular order:
- There is a song at the end of this.
- My wonderful friend John is giving me his apartment in NYC for March through June. I will be living in Chelsea. By myself. Whoa. Awesome. Scary. But more awesome. And I will be coming back to good old PA quite a bit, too. And I will still be playing Paper Janes shows. And I will still be me (just in case you guys wondered).
- Speaking of the Paper Janes, we have two shows next week: one on Wednesday at Lickety Split on South Street in Philly. And one on Thursday at Mojo Main on Main Street in Newark. This is exciting. There’s not much I’d rather be doing than music. Like, ever.
- I lost my deodorant. This is not exciting. It is actually annoying. Luckily, it’s pretty cold outside, so deodorant is not as necessary as it is in, say, August. But still, I danced a lot last night. And then I went to the gym today. And sometimes I get embarrassed and get kind of hot feeling. And well, all this adds up to me purchasing new deodorant when I have some perfectly fine deodorant somewhere, which is annoying.
- I will not be moving to Austin, TX in the fall. I did not get accepted to that school. I read the no thank you email and actually felt relief. I didn’t want to go to Texas (no offense, Mandy! I do want to see you, however!). It felt just like: thank goodness God doesn’t want me to go either.
- My pop gave me a tutorial on how to hear God’s voice tonight. It was really kind of him. It reminded me of homeschooling back in the day. Only the lesson wasn’t in the morning, so I didn’t yawn quite as much as I used to when he taught me lessons. Sorry pop, it wasn’t that you were boring; it was just that you were teaching me in the morning.
- And now I am gonna see if I can bullet a song.

Yesterday I went to the bookstore to buy a book that my therapist recently told me to read. Actually, what she said was, “Have you read this?” And simultaneously handed me a tiny post-it note with a title scrawled across it. I looked at it and then looked at her and asked, “I assume you’re [...]

Between Thursday and Monday of this week, Shane and I have three shows. That’s the good part. The sad part is that after that, it’ll be a good five months before we get to play another one. And yes, I said a good five months because I am determined to stay positive right now. Determined [...]
