Don't leave me high. Don't leave me dry.

Tonight was one of those nights (yesterday for all of you reading this on Sunday). One of those nights where you just have a really good time with the people around you and feel incredibly blessed to have such amazing friends and acquaintances and the chance to be with those people. I also can't believe that I just used the word blessed, it's so Samantha of me. There's something about hanging out with girls though that is so different and fun than what I'm used to though. Maybe it's because I work with guys and my best friend is a guy, but there is still something fun about women and the reckless abandonment that you can have with them when there's no guys around (I'm not talking lesbian fun Take Out Boy, I know that's where your mind is right now). Whether it was skipping to MGMT in the alley or singing Radiohead's "High and Dry" in the middle of the bar, it didn't matter that people stared, that I can't sing in tune, or that we had goofy grins on the whole time. We were having fun and we were ourselves. Tonight I got yo play with girls who weren't concerned with silly things or about acting grown up. It was like finally being allowed into the tree house or indoctrinated into their club and after this working weekend I needed to feel like that.

On the way home I also heard my new favorite song of the night, "What you know" by Two Door Cinema Club. The lyrics themselves are a little irrelevant to me, but the melody is really catchy and it's easy to sing along to. One of my friends told me that I sing decently, though that comment was probably filled with ulterior meaning at the time, but now I sing out lout in my car all of the time and that's just watch I did tonight. I've posted the video below, the leader singer looks like a male Adele and the video is a little weird but the song is really great and really fun. At first I though it was Death Cab, but nope it's a new band.

I like Ike: The Canadian Orphan.

What a day or at least what a day to be on it! Or well actually what a day to check what time I have to register: 8am tomorrow morning. Thank God I looked because I was thinking that I was supposed to register sometime next week. I think this is going to be the second time that I will have been able register on time and I actually got an amazing registration time. Only priority is ahead of me so all of my classes are still open. In fact the biggest decision I've had to make is whether or not to take four or five English classes next semester. If I take four I can go after a Religious Studies minor, but if I take five, well then I'm taking five English courses. So I don't really know, but I have to reserve my place in at least four classes tomorrow morning.

Is that what five courses looks like?


I put my mirror on today. Yay! No more extensive head turning for Sidney. For those of you who don't know (my parents) I broke the driver's side mirror off of the side of my car a few weeks ago and have finally been able to put a new one back on. I'm a poor college student who can't afford to send her car to get fixed in a garage so I ordered a cheap mirror off of eBay and put it on myself. Unfortunately what was supposed to have been a ten minute job turned into an hour and a half ordeal that required my Uncle Pete to help me drill out a couple of rusted and stripped screws and take a hack saw to the old mirror. Is was quite the task, but I now know how to take inside panel off of my door, do some basic rewiring and how to replace a side view mirror. Screw college, I should just become an over priced mechanic.

On the ride home from Norristown while I was enjoying my new mirror I heard the new song from A Silent Film Driven By Their Beating Hearts. I am in love with this song. It's even better than their last single You Will Leave a Mark and it's on the radio a lot so I will soon be sick of it, but I am enjoying every minute of it until I am. MGMT is also making a radio comeback. Yay! I've been hearing Kids and Time to Pretend a lot lately and it's giving me freshman year throwbacks when Dan, Matt and I would watch youtube videos and pick the best music video. I always picked Kids and they always let me win! Though I think it that that had more to do with Dan wanting to get in my pants and Matt no wanting Dan to win. Either way. And if you haven't heard Arcade Fire's We Used to Wait you HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT. It is the greatest song of the season, I mean it.
