Yay! So i saw Stavesacre and Embodyment play last night. Tai and I were talking afterwards, how just being at concerts is great.
I don't know much Embodyment stuff, only one song "One Less Addiction", but they played that, and i thought their set was pretty good.
But Stavesacre! man! Again, I only know their stuff from Speakeasy and the song "Sad Parade". So they played Sad Parade, Keep Waiting, and Gold and Silver. They also played another song I recognized from Speakeasy, but it was not one i was really familiar with. Anyway. That was what i needed last night. I need all this:
"Keep waiting
I'll be right on time
Keep waiting
I'll be right on time"-Stavesacre
"Under wings of gold and silver
Sometimes we have to hide
For shelter from this bitter winter
At least tonight, at least tonight-Stavesacre
"I confess the changes
Maybe I'm growing up
From the shoes on my feet
to the stench in my mouth
And I'll remain transparent
I'll remain transparent" -Embodyment

Yeah. So our house is basically sold. They have to run an inspection and sign papers and all that.
The thing is, though, they want to move in March 5th. Our condo that is being built isn't going to be ready until April 15th (which my mom says, really means May 1st). So... my parents have to figure out some place to live for two months. I might have to find some place to stay for Spring Break.
I went home today, to go look at the condos with my parents, and I arrive at the house and my mom says "I just cried this morning cause this is where my babies grew up!" and i said "Mom, we grew up at the other house" and she said "well you came of age in this house!" which, is true, cause we've lived there since I was 13. I drove away from the house and the neighborhood thinking "Man, this is going to be it. I won't be driving around these neighborhood streets anymore. I won't drive down Division to get home, I'll have to take the stinkin' freeway. my CHILDHOOD!" even when we moved when I was 13 to this house, we only moved two blocks from our old house, so really, it was still the same neighborhood. This depressed me, and made me listen to the following memory-inducing cds this afternoon and tonight. More will probably added later.
Switchfoot-Legend of Chin (THE cd of my high school years)
Plankeye-Commonwealth
Plankeye-One and Only

this seems very much appropriate:
"When the weight of all my dreams
is resting heavy on my head
and the thoughtful words of help and hope
have all been nicely said
but i'm still hurting, wonderful if i'll ever be the one
I think I am, I think I am
Then You gently re-remind me
that You've made me from the first
and the more i try to be the best
the more i get the worst
and i realize the good in me is only there
beacuse of who You are, who You are
and all i ever have to be is what You've made me
any more or less would be a step out of Your plan
as you daily recreate me help me always keep in mind
that i only have to do what i can find
and all i ever have to be
all i have to be
all i ever have to be is what You've made me"-Amy Grant
