Airport Boy

The airport is a fabulous place to people watch and sometimes even a fabulous place to meet people. I just sat down at a seat next to a guy who looked the same age as me. Because of my fear of always having a fever I asked him if it was hot in the airport or if it was just me. He agreed and said it was definitely way too hot. We continued to chat for probably ten minutes max about life, texas, boarding school, classical piano, songwriting, lady gaga... 

Why did you leave for New York? We could have been friends. This was not a crush. We could've been GOOD friends. 

Happy Thanksgiving airport boy. Maybe our paths will cross again someday. 

Buffaloooooove

Cannot wait to see you.

Turkey Day

I cannot wait for thanksgiving. It is one of my favorite holidays thanks to the two gentlemen in the picture above this. This is a holiday for us. Thank god Ben and I are comin home.

Life just wouldn't feel right without that night.

I really got taken back to 17 last night. Best and worst feeling ever. The memories are the best... knowing that I will never be 17 again is the worst.

Now that I finally figured out my password

I had forgotten this password for about a week.

finally got it 

So the thing i have been wanting to write about happened last sunday night at work.

i have been trying to appreciate working at a restaurant more lately by talking to more people and hopefully learning somethings i didn't know before work that night. 

soo anyways I was waiting on this old man who came in all alone. we were very very slow so i really had a chance to chat with him for a while. He was telling me how tired he was so I asked him why and he said that he had just returned from China. I was really surprised to hear that he had been so far away.. so I asked him why he was there. He answered by saying, "Claire, I am 81 years old... and now I can say I went to China." haha He was awesome. He didn't particularly like China either haha. 

Then we were chatting about another woman in the restaurant and her out of control screaming child. I was agreeing with everything he was saying and that is when he said this thing that really stuck in my mind. he said, " Claire, that's cause you aren't one of those fake people, you are a real person, there is no doubt about that."  I was taken aback. I had probably known this man for half an hour tops. That really meant a lot to me Stanley. Thank You.

"Work"

Well I am at work in the Music Dept. right now.. but no one else showed up today.. so I am downloading music videos on itunes... this is going to be trouble when I see how much I racked up. ..

I really feel like watching a scary movie perhaps Halloween... and I need a halloween costume. ugh. already sick of thinking about that. 

But I cannot wait for the Buffalo folk to come to Boston this weekend WAhooooooooo

This is how happy I am about it.

Dry Eyes

I have been on the computer way too much lately.. but I still feel the need to update this blog. 

So on Saturday it snowed.. and now today it is 65 haha, new england weather at its best. 

I have been playing my guitar more and more it is feeling really good I am going to really try to play a little everyday so I can start to get better wooo

Apparently It Snowed This Morning

Last night I pulled out my guitar for the first time in a very long time. 

It is missing the high E string.. but it was still good to be back.

Start

Hello new blog 

I want to write about things that are going on with me now because I think that it may be interesting? and it will be great to look back on. 

So blast from the past. 

last night I went to see Hanson 

Now when I was 8 Hanson was the shit. and i was a full-fledged supporter. I gave it up only for a short time, until one night (which i remembered last night at the show) where i came home late from a friend's house and really did not feel like going to bed. I remembered my hanson tulsa tokyo and the middle of nowhere vhs. sooo I obviously popped it into our old school vhs player. I sat there for what seemed like hours watching these old videos of these kids, 12 years old, playing their music for tons of people and loving life. I was so jealous. and I was so happy at the same time. I had fully rekindled my love for hanson in that one night. I started listening to their new music and stood up for them every chance I got. In my eyes they were not only child stars but they are talented musicians who have continued to work hard on what they believe in for over 10 years now. 

Anyways- 

so as I was alone at the concert remembering all of these crazy things... i had the happiest night in a very long. It was exhilarating being with no one i knew and remembering all of these fun times with my friend grace and my cousin pat from when i was a little kid. oooh my. what a great night. 

One other funny thing about the show was that as I was looking around at the kind of fans they had everyone had a beer in hand.. which is awesome cause that means everyone that loved them when they were 8 in 1997 stuck with them until now. 

Now it is just another day in October but for some reason it feels different. I feel woken up in a way. I feel like I did when i was 13 and had dreams of singing and writing in blogs and having people care about what I say.

 It is funny how one night can take you back.
