True, yes.

take me home to LA

9/20/10, 8:57pm Mountain Standard Time:

I'm boarding the train back home to Los Angeles
I requested the window seat even though its dark out
Because as we all know the advantage of looking out the window
And having something to lean on especially when you're traveling alone
And can't lean on a stranger for support...

Its almost a full moon so I can see the clouds and the shadows of the trees
Its dark in this cabin
Everyone is sleeping except my seat mate
She's from Finland
I told her to bring back two cups from the lounge area
But she brought one
That's a sign that she isn't going to be drinking with me
I have wine that someone has to drink
Why not? I'm on my 2nd cup.

I'm listening to Bon Iver on my iPod
This band is my favorite
And sets the perfect mood
For this quiet, mellow, relaxed train ride

I'm literally probably the only one out of my 600 friends on Facebook
Riding a train right now
I'm in the middle of no where in Arizona
I think this ride is going down to Phoenix

Ahhhhh, Bon Iver, why are you so good?
I've been listening to you all week.
And sadly, my week is over

I had the perfect most relaxed trip
And probably the hardest laughs I've had in months
My mom and I are so looney and funny when were together
We made faces all week at each other and took pictures of ourselves
Rather than the sunset of the Grand Canyon
We felt like we were in a funeral
It was so quiet during sunset
Except us
But we didn't care

I wish we lived closer to one another
We have the best times
And she's my best friend
But distance only makes you closer
So when we meet again, we'll have more to share
And more laughs

I have pictures that Facebook will never see
But when I'm down, I'll have pictures to browse through
And just laugh at our craziness.

It's 11pm and I still have 9 hours to go
I'm gonna try and rest my head
Sleeping like a noodley noodle is not very comfy
But I love the feeling of traveling
Even if its back home
And back to work
:(

"Hand In My Pocket"

This song...I was listening on my way to work today...and actually listened to the lyrics for once...and realized that it sounds a lot like me and I dig the lyrics a lot.

I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chickenshit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
And what it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab
