It has been unanimously and officially declared by the several entities who manage my innermost thoughts and feelings that I will not maintain an ongoing text message conversation with any young man who I may potentially have a crush on/relationship with. Why? Because it's just too much! In fact, the other night I was comparing two of my relationships with my mother (she is the one who suggested I blog on this topic). In the first, we texted constantly. That isn't an exaggeration. Day in and day out, we felt obligated to be connected 176 percent of the time. In the second, we would send an occasional message back and forth on Facebook, but focused our energy into the weekly-ish dates we'd spend together. Guess which relationship I was constantly worried about? Which one might I have grown resentful of faster? And hmmm...which ended in catastrophe? That's right, the second. Fooled you! It was the first. You knew that. Pay attention.
The moral of that story is that yes, text messages are incredibly convenient when you are not able to chat on the phone or you want to give someone a bit of information whose response is not urgent, but if you're just texting for the sake of talking ALL THE TIME, then get. Your. Freaking. Thumbs. Away. From. The. Cell. Phone.
Now.
In other news, me and my Alarmingly Charming bandmate James are giddy beyond belief about opening for Swedish folk sensation Sofia Talvik at WhySound, a friendly music venue in Logan. The show is on September 7 and begins with yours truly at 8:00 pm. So, to any of my friends in the Logan area, you are welcome and encouraged to bring 8 bucks and a couple pals to enjoy some phenomenal tunes. James and I have been practicin' up a storm, and we have four new songs despite a two-month musical hiatus. Here are a few videos from our very first show at WhySound, waaay back in February. Excuse the rough melodies and harmonies! Preparedness has not always been my thing. But we are more than ready for this upcoming show. All you have to do is prepare yourselves! Wink.

Don't you worry. We have improved dramatically. Andrew even said so. And he is sufficiently critical for our needs and well-being. Plus he is super cool (see "How to be a Stud") and recorded a few of our songs during practice the other day. We love Andrew! Look for him at the show.
Happy quality time!
