I still feel giddy that I get to be in a band called Girlyman with my best friends. Even when the van breaks down and I haven't eaten a vegetable in three weeks, and I feel insecure and exhausted and my skin is cracking off from all that dry hotel air, I still love touring. I like lots of other things too. For example, podcasts! So much to learn, and all of it free! I also enjoy a well-made espresso drink and a good workout, but not at the same time.
