hello i'm sarah sneed

Strict Joy, Strict Care

I made one of my best purchases of the year this week. The Swell Season’s “Strict Joy”

Fantasy Man you are always one step ahead of me

Well I never heard the warning

I haven’t got things right

Yet the sun came out this morning

And filled my room with light

So go on now, you are forgiven

Let’s put it down to life

The story of two lovers

Who danced both edges of the knife

In the station you’re standing

Not knowing what you want

And the secrets we’re defending

Have become our only bond

Just be patient while I wait here

Our journey is out of sync

While you’re out there running in the chaos

I need some time to think.

the value of travel

it’s pretty insane that i don’t have a passport. i’ve travelled the US a few times over, but have only set foot in Ontario outside our borders and that hardly counts as foreign. there was some international convention in Chicago over the weekend, and we had countless people from every country you could think of in thru the bar. spending 6-8 hours nightly for 5 nights with Australians, Irish, Italians, Argentinians, Japanese, etc made me ache for all that i haven’t seen yet. i’m applying for a passport this week. 

nationally speaking, i’ll be making appearances in Indianapolis, Los Angeles, New York City and Las Vegas over the next 6 weeks. the last two weeks of the year will be spent split between Chicago/Indianapolis, and finally NYC, my new permanent residence, at last. 

hope to see you when i see you.
