I'm Still In Love With You

I'm excited about this question because I have the same question for next week, so I need to listen to some new music... :D

Favorite song right now? ragnarok_08

I have a favorite album at the moment that I listen to on repeat and it's Atlas by Sleeping at Last. It's not something new, I've been in love with this album for a very long time... I have troubles choosing a favorite song because they are so many! My first love was Saturn and - after I've used it for my Ten/Rose Music Video I started playing it at the guitar too so I think if I have to choose one that would be it!


My other favorite are Earth, Sun and Light. It's a great album and you should give it a try!

Eric and I are in York, PA! Finally... We got in last night and we went straight to bed!
We drove through Washington DC and that got me so excited! I really want to go visit the Capitol!
It's the first time I've been in the new house (his mom and step-dad moved in a year ago) and I love it! It's crazy to think I've haven't seen my in-laws for more than a year now... But I guess is kind of normal since we live so far away and Eric and I travel a lot! Anyway it is definitely fall up here! I wasn't ready for the temperature change and I'm both happy (YAY SEASONS) and worried because I only have summer clothes xD

Last night, before going to bed, I opened all the packages I sent up there in the past 3 months and I forgot I had bought all that awesome stuff! That's the best thing about not having an address, you have to send stuff somewhere else and then collect it after a while and it's like Christmas!

So now I have Han Solo (Ceremony) Pop, finally a cute Han Solo Pop. Number 2 and 3 of the Han Solo Comic Book. The World According to Star Wars a book I was very excited about since I saw it online and, since orangerful liked it, I can't wait to read it! 1 Birchbox box (there was an offer on the website I do my daily surveys and I wanted to try it) full of make up and 3 of my ipsy glambags, where I finally received something for my brows and something for my hair!

I can't wait for lunch because we're going to have Isaac's and I LOVE their soup! I would move up north just for Isaac's alone... But I'd have to give up on my Veggie Burgers at Burger-Fi since that's a chain that's just in Florida... Oh I hate this LOL!

I don't know why I'm here in front of my computer right now but since I'm here I'm going to write something.

My fingers hurt...

Why?, you're probably wondering... Because less than 3 weeks ago I decided I wanted to learn to play the guitar. A normal person would start with an easy song, but I'm all but normal, so - as my first song - I choose Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. The chords are not that bad (I mean, I guess they're not that bad... but I don't actually know because I've never played before) but there is a fingerpicking pattern involved so, apparently this song falls into the intermediate/advanced part of the spectrum. That's reminded me when I decided I wanted to do yoga and I started trying to do a handstand... I managed to do a headstand after a couple of weeks, but that's me... Always want to be a pro from day one!



I have to say one thing about myself: I have no patience. Seriously... I don't even know how it feels to be patient for a second because I don't do it... I get to frustrated in like 0 seconds and figuratively speaking I flip tables (I almost literally flipped one once), but all said, today I managed to really play it. It's not perfect but the fingerpicking pattern and the rhythm are good so I feel very proud of myself. Still frustrated because I'm not playing it like Lindsey Buckingham but I'll eventually get there (AHAHAHAHAHA... No!)

So this is my random post... Hope you enjoied it (???)... I don't know...

P.S. Here's a funny story: I started out with my husband's guitar (he's very good at playing and he has a lot of guitars, one in each storage unit, one at home in Italy and one on the boat), but it was too big so, when we were travelling to Orlando - less than two weeks ago - he stopped for a coffee and the line was quite long. As I said I'm not patient so I went to the music store next door to check it out. Next thing I knew I was holding this baby in my hands and I was actually able to play the chords that were so difficult on the big guitar. Whe Eric went in I wanted him to talk me out of it, but my husband is hall about living a life without regrets, so I bought it and I LOVE it! While walking out he said to me "I can't believe you got a Taylor... I don't have a Taylor... That's just the best guitar ever, it's going to make you so happy..." And he was right!
