Every girl I ever meet. All my friends.The guy at sheetz who told me I was "fucking gay." The guy at sheetz who told me he liked my tie. The napkin sitting on my bedside table that says "You Suck!" Everybody who ever criticized, belittled, or berated me. And everybody who ever made me smile. :)

I got ahold of some low-end recording equipment and stayed up for a few days straight writing songs while smoking far too many clove cigarettes, then called a bunch of my friends to come sit around a campfire and play various instruments and pretend we're indie.

wow. i saw you guys with my best friend when you were in minot, and i thought you were absolutely amazing!! i love your cd and i listen to it all the time. i so can't wait until you guys come back!!
and dang, that had to be THE coolest cd case i've ever seen. i thought it was especially awesome because the song just before had been about being one with earth again, and then it was paper bag... that simply rocked. (:
