Blog by iPhone

Posting a blog by iPhone could be a real disaster, so I apologize, straight away, for any typos. This is when that lovely iPad that I HAD to have would come in handy... And it's packed in my suitcase, under the bus.

As has become the norm, I'm the only one awake on the bus. If you know me, you know I can pretty much sleep any time - any place - for hours. I live for sleep. So imagine my distress in the fact that I maaaay be becoming a morning person. What?! It really is unacceptable. Maybe it has something to do with no longer caffinating myself within an inch of my life? All that caffeine and then crashing into blissful sleep? Who knows. All I know is, I've seen many hours of open road before noon and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

So it's just me and my jams, which are always a bizarre mix. Currently: "Deal / No Deal" from Chess. You know, just jamming out to Chess. NBD.

As far as tour is concerned, things have been pretty fantastic. We are all settled into a routine. Our schedule isn't as rough this month as last (ouch). We know what we need to do for ourselves to get through our days - who is there when we want a quiet coffee date, who is there when we want to take the town by storm, who is there when we must not dwell another moment on the events of the day/week/month. It's the comfortable part of tour - when you become family. In good, bad, hilarious, disaster. Do we want to kill each other at times? Without. Doubt. But we also have a greater understanding of what makes each other tick. Do long bus days still suck? Ummmm... Yes. That shall never stop being true.

(Currently playing: No More - tick tick boom)

In personal life stuff, I've been going through it. Maybe it's the endless hours of quiet, where I can get stuck in my head and completely rearrange my attitude with what ifs and maybes.. Maybe it's the life changes that I made AGAIN, when I didn't intend to do so. Maybe it's the gigantic life changes that the people close to me are making. I've always been super effected by environment and the feelings and emotions of people I care about - I think that is the Libra in me. At the end of the day, I just keep reminding myself that I'm happy. I love what I do, I have fantastic people around me, I have the best friends in the universe, and my family has never once questioned this crazy career that I have thrown myself into.

(currently playing: Shut Up & Drive by Rhianna, into Gravity by Sara Barrilles. What a transition.)

Oh yeah, and my 2 suitcases have become 3. Disaster.
