I chase your love around a figure 8, I need you more than I can take.

There is something so inspiring about seeing an artist that you love. You listen to her album non-stop. You know every single word as if you actually sat down with her and helped to write the album. With every note, you can feel actual emotion pour out of your bones.

So to see, hear, and witness that in some twenty odd feet or so in front of you? Amazing. And when the room is filled with hundreds of people who feel the same exact way? The energy is so thick you get lost in it. You can feel your limbs vibrating with it. Like electric pulsing through you.

Ellie Goulding was everything I imagined and more. Literally getting lost in the music. Swaying back and forth, dancing, jumping, singing along. Laughing and standing still in complete awe. Love, love, love.

I knew we had anticipated it for so long and it would be over in less than two hours. I tried my best to soak up every single second. Not letting anyone or anything ruin or even distract me. I think I made that happen. Thank you again, Ellie.

And then there's this: "Orlando best crowd I've had in a long time..."  <3

I gave you a warning, now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces.

And as the floods move in

And your body starts to sink

I was the last thing on your mind

I know you better than you think

Cause it's simple darling, I gave you a warning

Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces

So watch them fall with you, in slow motion

I pray that you will find peace of mind

And I'll find you another time

I'll love you, another time

In just a few short hours I'll be on my way to see Ellie Goulding. I couldn't even sleep last night that's how excited I was. Literally like a teenager who is obsessing over a boy band circa 2000. The only other person I've ever gotten so excited to see live was Robyn. Who by the way, is amazing live.

Ellie or Bust.

Happy Hearts, 

Alex 

Ellie, I repeat, Ellie is in the building!

Alright, I lied. Ellie isn't really in the building. Well... sort of. ;)

I didn't have anything scheduled to post today because well. I'm not a blogging professional just yet.

However, I came home for a quick lunch break when someone knocked. Now, I swear I'm no criminal, but every time I hear the door, I get anxious. You would think I'm on the run from authority, because I just want to hide.

Well, I opened the door to a nice Fedex man who came back up the walkway to insist that he pick up the package from the floor and hand it to me directly. It was for me! But what did I order?!

TICKETS FOR ELLIE GOULDING!! Januaury 17, 2013 you know where to find me.

Totally worth blogging about. Oh, and and a million thanks to little miss Morgan for this present.

Happy Hearts,
Alex

everybody's gotta love someone, but i just wanna love you, my dear.

I cannot believe October is almost over. It's actually kind of bugging me out. I feel like in a blink, it'll be Christmas time and then the New Year. I get mild anxiety when New Year's rolls around. I start to look back on the year and wonder if I made it worth it, what I did that stands out, was it amazing? Did I finally have that knock- out year?? Hopefully I can ring in the new year this year with special people and it will be fun, fun, fun. :) 

I went to see The Drums last night. I hadn't heard of them until recently when a friend suggested I listen. We didn't get to the actual show until the band came on. It was good. There were a couple of moments when everyone around me and the crowd was just a blur. Even the band. And all I heard was the music and the feelings that it brought. I love when that happens. Literally getting lost in music, and feeling everyone's energy. 

Tomorrow I'm going to a Halloween party after work. I can't wait. I'm going to dress up as a sugar skull. I kind of have an idea or two on how to do the makeup, and I've watched some tutorials online. But I've yet to practice. So, let's hope I can pull this off tomorrow or I'll end up going as a clown. 

There's going to be a costume contest, so let's hope I win! ;)    I mean, it's cute and crafty, yeah?! I mean, it's not your typical slutty bumble bee, but that's why it's so grand! 

I'm going to attempt to watch American Horror Story now. I've heard a lot about it, but I'm a big time scaredy cat (ironic for someone who loves Halloween and all things creepy). Hopefully I don't end up so scared that I'm going to bed watching the Disney Channel. Yes, I'll admit it. 

Happy, happy weekend to all. For anyone partying, be safe!
