taiwan dearest.

i think you are great. i really do. 

 ..but my body is a little over all the things you did to it. 

as much fun as it is to get steroids injected into me and have other crazy things happen, it isn't. 

so please, stop. 

anyways. now that i got that off my chest, let's talk about ingrid.

apparently everyone else wanted to see her too! we stood in line forever and it wrapped all the way down the block and around the corner. it was a nice time outside though with the rain, hail, snow, and i think mindy gledhill? afer realizing why she looked so familiar we were pretty positive it was her but then waited too long to say anything and then i got stressed because i'm not one to be obsessed with mormon celebs and didn't want to be a creep so we just talked to her about imogen heap and long lines instead of the fact that her song "small enough" was my number one played song on itunes forever. run on sentence. k well, whether it was her or not, real nice gal.

luckily we had real tickets so we got to cut a lot of the line and finally got inside. the band before ingrid was lame and i didn't care about them so i was thrilled when they left the stage. so i'll just start by saying ingrid was the best thing i've ever seen. i'm serious, i have been to many a shows in my day and this was the best one i have ever attended. everything from them coming out in creepy hooded robes to her talking about leanne rhymes tweeting her to covering britney spears "toxic" and then doing a dance to it to hiding on stage instead of leaving for an encore and then covering themselves but making it sound like avril. really, all of us (including half the moms of utah) were obsessed and just loving it the whole time. i almost never want to go to a concert again because i think anything after ingrid will be a disappointment. 

wow. sorry i just wrote so much about that just then! but i really just loved it. that night wouldn't have been possible if ryan hadn't surprised me with the tickets just because he is nice so we love him for that. aaand for still liking me even though i look bald and have sick hair because of all the outside time. mmm gotta love winter!

anyway. moral of the story = don't live in taiwan for a year and a half (okay DO but just be ready for your body to freak out) aaaand see ingrid next time she comes. 

happy thursday!
