Only Time
Music: "Awake" (Album)
I'm still in a relatively good mood. I think the satisfaction of finishing my final papers has a good part of that, as well as knowing that break is near and that I had a great time w/ Adam today, and, as I mentioned previously, w/ Adam and Jeff. I think I've made the right decision to not use the avoidance strategy to deal w/ my current situation. As I've said before, our friendship is so great and I don't want anything to change w/in its basic, strong foundation just because I can't deal with my first heartache, or whatever the hell it is. It's tough, and sometimes downright depressing and painful to face it head on, but, I've got to do it, methinx. Besides, on some level I have a feeling that I'm going to be hurting on some level for awhile until I can get back to "normal" or find my balance. Whether I'm around him or not, it hurts, regardless, so I'm just going to try and enjoy the time we have before break. Somehow, I have to keep reminding myself, I'll get through this. It's just really hard to be positive. Ai...
Meeting Moya Brennan has got to be one of the biggest highlights of this fall. I mean, I NEVER expected to meet one of my musical idols, then I met Josh. But, to think that I met THE Moya Brennan, an amazing musician and artist in her own right, lead singer of Clannad AND sister of Enya, I mean, WOW.
I drove down to Santa Monica early Sunday morning to find the church where she was to perform during the service. Apparentely, the church admin. was @ the given address and the actual service was held @ a middle school auditorium around the area of Pico & 17th. I luckily met another fan who drove me over. We came in while Moya and Cormac (her harpist) were doing their soundcheck. Before the service, Moya came over to where Don (the other fan) and I were sitting (in the front) and asked if we were members of the church. She thanked us for coming when we told her we'd just come to see her. She shook our hands and held onto mine for a long time while Don talked to her for a second. Moya's performance was flawless and so beautiful and got a good audience response (standing ovation). The church service was a little long, but ironically, the pastor was really attractive for his age (I'd guess late 30's, early 40's or maybe mid 40's), so I @ least had something to entertain myself, lol. Anyway, afterwards, we headed out to Moya's merch table where she was selling "An Irish Christmas" - I brought my copy with me and got it signed as well as getting one for mom signed as well (Thank you to Don!!). I cannot emphasize how sweet, caring, kind, and down to earth Moya is. She remembered me from earlier and I thanked her for bringing such beautiful and great music to the world and told her how I'd been listening to her family's music for as long as I can remember.
It's @ this point I met Michelle Tumes, but more on that when I can actually type and think. Goodnight...
Oh, and parking was free!! :)
