Revelry
Kings of Leon
“Revelry”
What a night for a dance, you know I’m a dancing machine
With the fire in my bones
And the sweet taste of kerosene
I get lost in the night so high don’t wanna come down
To face the loss of the good thing that I have found
Woo hoo hoooo
Woo hoo hoooo
In the dark of the night I can hear you calling my name
With the hardest of hearts, I still feel full of pain
So I drink and I smoke and I ask you if your ever around
even though it was me who drove us right into the ground
See the time we shared it was precious to me
But all the while I was dreaming of revelry
Gonna run baby run like a stream down a mountainside
With the wind in my back I wont ever even bat an eye
Just know it was you all along that had a hold of my heart
But the demon in me was a best friend from the start
So the time we shared it was precious to me
All the while I was dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
And I told myself oh the way you go it rained so hard it felt like snow
Everything came tumbling down on me
In the back of the woods, in the dark of the night
Palest pale of the old moonlight
Everythings just felt so incomplete
Dreaming of revelry

Revelry-noisy partying or merrymaking.
After about 8 months of seclusion and avoidance of any form of a social gathering, I decided it was time to branch out. Yes, you see pictures of me with friends here and there ( birthday lunch, baby shower, vacation) but to go and hang out with people is hard for me.
I went out for the second time with work friends on monday night. We went to one of the guys’ house and played Name that tune-TV theme version for a good 3 hours. I was surrounded with good friends, good drinks, GREAT guacamole and drove home (at 4 in the morning) and just felt a wave of relief.
I’m really doing this.

In other news, I have a new goal. I may or may not have mentioned before that I’ve been a runner due to playing field hockey for many years so in all honesty I never gave it up because it’s a part of me. My dad was also a marathon runner and he now bikes because of bad joints, so maybe it’s partly genetic? Anyway, I have a new goal to run a 10K or a 1/2 marathon this year. My good friend signed up for the Rock N Roll race at VA Beach on September 6th and I was TRUELY ecstatic for her! She’s new to long distance running, so we chatted it up this morning about my experiences with running and what not and we are going to start small together and work our way up. Even just be doing the runs I have been the past couple months, I can tell that yoga has helped me TREMENDOUSLY when comparing it to how I felt physically back in highschool.
We will see what happens! It makes me excited just thinking about all the causes I can help out with by doing races or even just volunteering at one
