Today I took my nine year old daughter to the dentist. After every appointment the kids get to choose a reward for being good. My daughter chose a Hannah Montana pencil. I was very disappointed until she said, “I chose this so that I can laugh maniacally while I sharpen her face off.” I taught my daughter well. MLIA

The brutal truth.

They should have also made one that says “Working For a Band Does Not Make You Famous.” Too many techs/roadies with egos out there. WAY too many. I sell t-shirts, you change strings, we are both replaceable. Get over yourself.

Hahaha thank you Joledo for adding that.

A few days I ago, when I was coming home from Karate class, I saw a black SUV, with tinted windows. The liscense plate read “IMBATMAN” and had the Batman symbol on the rear windsheild. We drove up to see who was driving. It was an old man dressed as Batman, cape, ears and all. It made my life. MLIA

Today I was in math class. Someone who didn’t understand the lesson yelled out “This is really hard!”. My teacher turned around and said “That’s what she said.” in a very serious voice and continued to write on the board. I go to an all girls school and my teacher is a nun. MLIA

Today, I got paid to run around in a meadow with a three-year-old while we both wore fairy wings. I’m a college graduate, and I think my job is infinitely better than my friends who work in offices from 9 to 5. MLIA

I’m going to get real for a second here. I usually tend to be pretty private online; too much of my life is public as it is because of my work. But I feel like opening up right now.

I don’t remember the last time I felt alive.

Tour really messes with your head. Its not real life. Don’t get me wrong, I love it. But I miss human connection. It is nearly impossible to sustain any sort of normal relationship on tour. Many friends on the road tend to be friends of convenience. Yes, I do like a lot of people I meet on tour, but once the tour is over you hardly see that person anymore. Because just like you, they are constantly on the go.

I think because I know I will not see these people much after a tour is done I subconsciously shut myself away from everyone. If I get too close, the pain of having to say goodbye is too hard to bear. I don’t like these walls I’ve built up.

Then I stop and think about what I’m complaining about.

I get paid to travel the world with amazing people doing a job that I feel I was born to do. But what I don’t understand is what am I missing out on, that everyone else on tour seems to get? They all seem happy.

I just want to break down these walls I’ve built around myself.

Parts of this….yep. Exactly.

Yesterday, as I was doing day care in my home, a 4 year old girl told me that she was way too tired to pick up the toys she had been playing with. When I asked why she was so tired, she told me that Peter Pan had kept her out all night in Neverland and didn’t bring her home until morning. Best. Excuse. Ever. MLIA
