moments like these

this week rocked. not only did my youth orchestra perform a flawless and electric rendition of my violin teacher/conductor/mentor's oratorio in carnegie hall, i got to see some of my friends again that i haven't seen for years -- like 10!

when i went backstage after the concert (which i didn't perform in due to my damn neck being in rehab) i was grabbed & hugged & kissed by friends & exES alike. mmmmm. afterwards a bunch of us went out all night.

ya know, there's some sort of bond there with people that you've traveled with. especially to cool places like petra, the pyramids, the great wall of china, and the kremlin.
