this would be my life

So one of my top five favorite bands is playing in Athens, GA tomorrow night.
I am pretty pumped. I was supposed to go see them play this Friday up in Boston but as you know, I ended up moving to Georgia so as a result I had to sell my tickets and bitch and moan about how I was missing yet another great concert because of this move.

Well, the music gods have smiled down upon me and have given me the opportunity to watch Frightened Rabbit. The show is about 2 1/2 hours away so I have decided it was finally time to make use of my couchsurfing account and find a place to crash so I didn't have to drive all night afterwards. So this house of people (2 guys, 2 girls) have offered to take me in. They seem pretty cool, two of them are in a band and they said they will probably be jammin' out by the time I get over. I'm pumped. New friends.

And now for the "Adrienne" part of the story- this is where my life gets awkward.
So it was this guy who found out about the show for me and I was really on the fence about going with him so when he first brought it up I did my best to avoid seeming like I wanted to go. But, when push came to shove the fact of the matter is, I want to see this band.
This put me in an awkward situation because I knew I couldn't go without him because he might find out and since it was his idea that would be a dick move so I bit the bullet and invited him along. That was before I knew how far away it was. He informed me and told me we might have to get a room for the night.
That's when I reverted back to acting like I didn't really want to go anymore. But, when push came to shove, the fact of the matter is, I want to see this band.
This put me in an awkward situation because I said I wanted to go but the prospect of spending the night in a hotel room with a guy who I only kind of know worried me. That's when couchsurfing came in. If I'm going to spend the night with someone I only kind of know, I mine as well spend the night with complete strangers.
And so it is.

Anyways, so basically the main thing here is that this guy I am going with very well might have a crush on me and I don't really know what to do with this.
I do kind of find him attractive despite his ginger qualities (and the fact that he always wears a hat and I suspect hair loss may be involved... i know its totally a dick thing to judge on so I am embarrassed to admit that it may bother me ) but the fact of the matter is, Adrienne does not want to be tied down. Adrienne needs to be free. Adrienne sees a world of possibilities and now is not the time to narrow them down.

Long story short, I see nothing but awkwardness coming out of this little road trip. Can't wait.
