last night we went to see Over the Rhine at Workplay and it was spectacular. it was so good that i kind of wanted to join the people behind us chanting "OTR forever!!!!" thanks to a really crowded workplay we shared a table with my new friend Sarah. in fact, it was a conversation i had with Sarah (between musical acts of course - we're not rude) that inspired my next list:

the person i wish i was. . .

- listens to NPR and understands, nay, enjoys it.

- is entirely comfortable going to a concert alone.

- enjoys records (like vinyl) more that recorded reality shows.

- reads, then uses what she has read to have intellectually stimulating conversation

- has her own pilates mat and attends regular classes

- cares less about her clothes and more about people

- siezes the day each morning with coffee, alone time and a run, bright and early, instead of clinging to her bed for as many minutes as possible.

- can articulate why certain moments are so funny

- is patient enough to find awesome crap in thrift stores.

let's be honest, that's a short list but its all i have time for. because the person i really am is late for tutoring.
