The more I think about it - the more excited I am for it to arrive.<BR/><BR/>I'm quite glad your finger is alright, I can't imagine how you would feel if you couldn't play music anymore. <BR/><BR/>I got an e-mail last night that made me estatic - "Last Minute Show in Nashville." You see, I live in Memphis, and you very rarely even come close to my part of the world, so I've never been able to see you play live. Unfortunately, upon reading the e-mail I noticed that it was on Monday, and I have a psychology final, so there's no possible way I can make it. But anyway - Happy early birthday. <BR/><BR/>-Moriah StarrMissaStarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677085059092243886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-63492092160154626742007-04-26T00:10:00.000-04:002007-04-26T00:10:00.000-04:00Amanda,Please be my life partner.Amanda,<BR/><BR/>Please be my life partner.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13940962238010514191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-54918401992059867562007-04-24T18:11:00.000-04:002007-04-24T18:11:00.000-04:00You live in my alter reality world... yet, frome t...You live in my alter reality world... yet, frome this other dimension I salute thee Amanda Palmer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-84127902347268079922007-04-24T13:48:00.000-04:002007-04-24T13:48:00.000-04:00its so exciting that you and Ben Folds are collabo...its so exciting that you and Ben Folds are collaborating!!!

It's the first that I've run into that actually takes a long, hard, realistic look at living with psychological disorders etc. (mood disorder here *waves flag*) The lyrics are gorgeous and powerful in every single song. Listening is like getting drunk, except minus the hangover.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I'm sure that's not what you were looking to read... but I read the entry and Did. Not. Breath. until I got to the part where you were okay. And then I went back and read everything else.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246224246797255856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-34856278691042165622007-04-23T11:07:00.000-04:002007-04-23T11:07:00.000-04:00Miss Palmer, I am incredibly relieved at the appar...Miss Palmer, I am incredibly relieved at the apparantly fine state of The Finger. That is fantasmodic news. <BR/><BR/>Is Hawaii where you first decided to cover I Will Follow You into the Dark, then? I fancy myself a DCFC fan and I have to say your cover is probably one of my favorite songs at the mo'.<BR/><BR/>While you were gone, you inspired me take up violin. The calluses forming slowly at the tips of my fingers are, by logical progression, your fault. I do not mind. <BR/><BR/>My parents went to Hawaii once. Did you see any banana slugs?

Your whole blessed, cursed life flashed before my eyes while I was anxiously reading, and all I really know is from is this blog. Lupus, for Christ's sake! Haven't you ever seen Gray's Anatomy (the movie not the TV show, neither of which I would recommend to you except that show can be enjoyable mindless TV crack...and about a season back Regina was featured on it and that helped build her buzz even more). Maybe it's the future resident intern in me, but for a minute I was so pissed that you would do that, even for art.<BR/><BR/>Whatever, though. You're ok. And licenced to chill, maharishi style. Welcome back. Honestly, I am so jealous about Ben Folds and Hawaiian lava fields and indoor soccer with the frickin' Kaiser Chiefs and Robyn frykin' Hitchcock with the former Hindu Love Gods...but not your roller coaster ride. <BR/><BR/>Stay well and I hope there's more fun and unfettered freedom in the future.
