I’ve been in love this this man since I was a wee freshman in high school. At Flipside festival 2006, I stood in line like a little girly fan girl to get the band to sign my poster. When Emily and I got to the front of the line, he took my hand and made two eyes (like a hand puppet) on both my fist and his. Then he made his hand puppet give my hand puppet a big ol’ smooch.
SWOON
After that, Emily and I continued to run into Shawn at other shows in weird situations. Eventually being able to talk to him, while still always being a little in love.
Most recent Shawn sighting? realizing he was standing directly behind me at Justin Pierre’s Boston stop on the dino trail. A very short exchange of words before Shawn performed brought me back to the olden days of my young love.
alright, alright….I’m admitting this publicly: (the worst kept, non-secret) Shawn Harris, is my one and only musician crush.
Why He’s Hot:
- Ladies and Gents, say hello to Shawn Harris, who, up until recently was the lead singer and guitarist of The Matches (and we all know how we feel about those lead singers). But with their indefinite hiatus, Shawn has moved on to a new singing venture called Maniac, who, while working on their first album, has been covering Number 1 Billboard hits. Try not to swoon and melt too much while he’s singing Taylor Swift’s “You Belong with Me”, m’kay?
- Style? The man is the dictionary definition of dapper. Voted the best dressed on Warped Tour ’07, the man can pull off any look you throw at him. Torn up punk? Check. The sophisticated top hat look? You got it. Polka Dots and Stripes? Done and done. Asymmetrical haircuts, short haircuts, fake glasses? He’s done it all. Even as Count Drunkula, the man is hot sex.
- His eyes. Just take a good, long look into those lovely brown eyes. You can get lost within them. Now, tell me you’re not hooked.
- Sweet, mischievous and sometimes a little deranged, his smile is a sight to behold. Show me your teeth, babe.
- His arms are rather fit. Toned with just the right amount of muscle. Who else wants tickets the gun show?

Surprise people.
There’s a lot that can be said for optimism. These days, the forces of nature have been forcing me to succeed when I have really been setting myself up for failure.
This time, it’s my turn to step up and take care of myself again. I’ve been working on it damn well.
Even when I gave up on something I was truly interested in, it dropped itself right there in my freaking lap.
Here’s the deal: I’ve organized everything, I’m eating healthier (I’ve replaced my morning coffee with an apple. try it, it has the same effect), I get work done earlier, I take walks alone in the park when I get overwhelmed by all of the people (during the day. I’m not about to get murdered).
Get this: I’m knitting again. Doing this has kept my hands occupied and lowers stress levels like no other. This way, I’m not wasting spare time stalking whothefuckcares on Facebook.
Unrelated though: I wish the dorms let us have a pet here. even a goldfish. Not that I don’t have plent

The most serious my Winter break has been. Ready to go back to Boston.
Who sits at your dream dinner table?
Living or dead: Alex and I were discussing this. You can’t invite Jesus OR any of the Beatles since everybody always chooses them. They don’t have to be your favorite people, they just have to generate the most interesting table discussion.
I chose Jim Henson, Conan O’Brien, and Alec Baldwin.
Alex tells me I need to invite Richard Pryor, so I’ll go with him, too.
No word on what’s for dinner, yet. It won’t be healthy, that’s for sure.

Ack! This is a time where I wish I still lived at home in Houston and went to college there, but I’m three hours away in San Antonio. This seems like an awesome internship. I’ve been on a few street teams, I do have quite the passion for music, and I am taking a business systems class online. If only it said San Antonio…
Well, this is a reblog for anyone else in the markets listed above looking for an internship. An awesome sounding one I might add.
This is crazy awesome. Thanks, Anna. I’m going to school for advertising, but I am very interested in this.
College Rules.
I know I never post real thoughts on here, but I love not living in Winchester full time anymore.
One week left having literally nothing to be responsible for, beauty. they are having this thing where they’re showing Napoleon Dynamite at the Alamo and the guy that plays Pedro is supposedly supposed to be there. Biggest thing to happen here that isnt Apple Blossom
