My Skelanimals Scavenger Hunt was a mess, and my roommate is being hard to deal with.
There you have it.
This past weekend was a mess. I went home Thursday for an eye appointment Friday morning where I had my eyes dilated and suffered through an annoying half an hour with a doctor (not mine) who literally speaks like a doctor would. Her voice was drawly and every thing was connected, weird and made me want to pull out her braces. Luckily, it was cloudy out so there wasn't a need for me to wear eye protection.
Another reason I really wanted to go home was to get new jeans, which I needed with a passion. So, Saturday my mum and I went to Rochester to buy some. We ended up buying around $200 worth of food for my roommate and I. That was awesome. I still need a job so badly.
Chelsey stayed over Saturday night and she had to go to a Greek Orthodox church the next morning for class and we joined her. It was so different. It was so ornate and most of the people there looked very Greek. It was cool. Their liturgies were sooo long though, but the amazing smell of the incense was enough for me to not be bothered by any length. The tones that they use to speak in is very different though. It's really hard to understand what's going on because the tone is distracting and kind of hard to understand.
After that we enjoyed a few episodes of Jonas (my mom bought me the first season-because she can) and later we went out to Target for the Scavenger Hunt.
Here is where I begin to feel like a failure.
I was suppose to be at Target by 1:45 and I was there just before 2:00. Chelsey and I didn't exactly know what my roommate's plan was until about 1:45 when we ran around getting Che's stuff packed up. We walk into Target and find the Halloween section and we see 3 people sitting down by the candy. We walked up to them and I asked if they were there for the tickets/meet and greets. They just stared at us with suspicious faces and didn't say a word. I had to say that I had the tickets/meet and greets in order for them to chillax. It was awkward, but funny and they were very happy to get them. I was also incredibly happy that they actually looked cool too! Some of the other Skelanimal winners looked a bit... frumpy. At this point I had no idea what to do. We were suppose to be the ones waiting- not the winners! They were waiting for more than an hour. So I went and sent a picture to the number I was suppose to anyway, but they never launched the Scavenger Hunt on twitter. It would have been difficult to do so without a purpose, but I still felt like it was all my fault. I felt like I honestly failed Family Force 5 and my duty toward the Skelanimal Scavenger Hunt.
We waited outside the venue for 2 hours until we were taken inside before the doors opened for our meet and greets. The winners were really awesome and cool and we were all kind of silently wigging out because we were going to meet FF5. There was one thing that sucked. It was so structured. A guy came up to us and told us "this was gonna happen and then this and that ...and then you guys can chill in here until the doors open." That was a bummer. Less personal than I was hoping for, but still awesome. Crouton was wigging out on caffeine and
I was so honestly amused by it all. He was dancing around like a lunatic... a sexy, hilarious, amazing-drummer lunatic. They ended up signing my shoes and 2 other girls' shoes and 2 peoples' arms. No one was prepared.
So we chilled and five minutes before doors we claimed our spot at center stage. When the doors did open we were bombarded by some of the most annoying girls in the history of concerts. I may never go back to another concert with those type of bands because of the girls. I don't mind touching and shoving and arms everywhere, but if you are quite obviously in someone's space you don't need to be in- that is too much. Some girl had to elbow into my neck enough that I couldn't turn my head to the left. I ignored it for awhile because I figured she'd move it after awhile. I was wrong. It eventually took me 3 tries at the elbow removal for her to get the bloody picture. Even after that there was nothing I could do to stop the screams of I LOVE YOU, (insert name here) to any one of the guys from the bands that was slightly good looking. I also think I've gotten over the wanting to touch the band members as well. These girls had their arms strectched out for entire songs just to touch the lead singer 10 times in one show. Why? Why???? Touching him will not make all your dreams true, children. You're just touching one more sweaty person than you were before.
The one thing I live for now is the eye contact. That is my favorite part of any concert. When you make that eye contact of true admiration and its like a mutual respect situation. You respect the hell out of them for making and performing such amazing music and they respect you for enduring the bruises, limited breathing/moving room and still managing to dance while screaming out their lyrics. It is love out there.
So anyway, the concerts we awesome. I just kind of got through I-Rival and Queen's Club and by then if I would have allowed myself to close my eyes and sleep- I probably would have. I was so drained. Then Cash Cash came out and I dealt with the screaming girls and enjoyed their music very much. Next was Breathe Carolina. I haven't stopped listening to them since the night of the concert. I found one of my deepest loves that night. If you don't know who Breathe Carolina is, they are a band with 2 vocals; one mainly sings and the other screams and does other singing. They're like techno with a screamo twist- it's awesome. They're show didn't really include the stage lighting, it was just their lights and laser things so I wasn't distracted by them and was honestly inlove with the music. I realized yesterday that the singer is completely adorable. He's not "oh my gosh so hawt," he's just so freaking cute. Moving on...
Family Force 5 blew my mind away on the tiny tiny stage. They party in their concerts and I love that. I nearly touched Soul Glow's crotch, which was awkward, but I pulled my hand down quickly. I avoided the "party foul." Hah. I alluded to FF5.
Amidst Cash Cash I actually realized some asshole's gum was in my hair. So that was fun. After FF5 we were soaked. It was so sweaty in there and when we went outside it was cold and raining. Perfect. I drove in circles shivering and trying to see through the rain until I finally found the exit and went home to listen to Breathe Carolina. =)
I started typing this two days ago and had to go to class and since then it's been sitting there on my dock begging to be finished. So I'm probably forgetting a lot, but it's probably better that way.
So I'll say goodbye for now, then.
