Mirror Mirror. How amazing is my figure?

THIS is blog worthy
Today.... was the From First To Last show. The first time to see one of my favorite bands in a year, and also the first time to see them with their new line up. Let me just say before I say anything else I was not disappointed.

Anyway, I'll just skip to 1:30 from today. After two classes, a nap, and lunch with my dad, I was headed out to the NorVa. And for the first time since I've been going to the NorVa, there was NO ONE waiting outside. Usually one or two people were there but there was NO ONE. So I sat around and looked dumb for a while before some of the workers started talking with me and that was a blast.

Okay, skipping forward. FFTL was late because their bus broke down. Poor boys. Everything got pushed back. Skipping all the stuff happening (I might fill it in later). The bus finally arrived and like, Manning, Derek, Travis and Ricky were walking around unloading their gear and just... chillin. They were all adorable and other than the annoying old lady, it was great. Travis waved and said hi in the most adorable way, and he waved every time he passed. At one point I yelled "Ricky, I love you!" and Ricky turned and grinned, waved, then made a heart with his hands.

SKIP TO THE SHOW
A Skylit Drive <3 Bless the Fall <33 Vanna <333 FFTL <33333333333 IT. WAS. AMAZING! The boys were brilliant on stage and they sounded better than ever. AND for most of the show, Mr. Matt Good was in front of me and I could just stare up at him, or sing along, or both. And I swear he was singing while looking at me more than once. It was awesome. AWESOMESAUCE. I got some amazing pictures from this

SKIP TO AFTER THE SHOW XD
Me and Beth are waiting outside and we seeee MANNING! SUPERMANNING =D (My new nickname for him). So we go over and my initial impression of him is all wrong. He was sooooo fucking sweet! He took the pictures with us and gave us hugs and Beth said his hugs were tight and sincere. AWESOME. Next out of the NorVa.... Derek.

Last show I went to, Sommer had been there and so Derek was pretty much detained. So when he came out and I was able to just walk up and be like "Can we get pictures?" So me and Beth did, and he is so tiny and he has the shyest cutest smile like evar. We asked when they'd be back and he said in February or sometime, and I was like "I'll be there.." Other people wanted to talk to him so we said bye. So we were waiting, and I saw Matt inside and the security was trying to get us to move and I was like "I NEED HIM" But unfortunately, he walked the other way. However... out walked.... TRAVIS

Travis. is. a complete. doll. I really wanted a picture with him, as did Beth (he's her favorite). So I was sitting there talking quickly and all like "Can we get a pictures please?" and he grabbed my arm and said something to the effect of "Yea we can..." in a calming voice. He was so uber adorable and I just wanted to hug him and be like "You are the best."

Three down, one to go. The one I wanted the most. The one I needed. My favorite, Matt Good. I had seen him but he hadn't come out and the security guard was trying to get me to move and I was like "BUT I NEEEED IT! I NEED MATT GOOD OR I'LL EXPLODE! That happens to me sometimes..." (GIR quote xD)

FINALLY, after a great deal of loitering, Matt came out. God I almost died. Me and Beth were the first to see him and so we hurried over, and were talking with him and I gave him one of my Cheshire Cat pins. He told me it was awesome. I showed him the other one and let him pick and he picked my favorite one, so I was like "OMG YAY we have the same tastes." And the best part is, it wasn't like "Cool thanks *puts in pocket*" HE ACTUALLY PUT IT ON HIS JACKET!!!!!! I freaked, mentally of course, but calmed down enough to get a pic of him and Beth. I was going to get one when he was like "Can I go put my stuff on the bus?" and he asked so cutely I was just like "Sure go ahead." "Alright I'll be back"

Some girl had the nerve to say "Yea that's what Sonny said and he never came back out!"
I have to say, I love Beth, because she turned around and said "Well that's because Sonny's an asshole.. Matt's not" and there was almost a fight.

So we waited, and I was scared that Matt might not come back out. It was the longest wait evar. Finally, he came back out and of course people swarmed around him and Beth grabbed his attention so I could get a pic. She couldn't work my broken camera, so I had to do it and she was checking the picture while I held it and I asked if it was good and she said "No you two are too damn tall... Y'all need to shrink like four inches" to which Matt crouched down slightly and I got an adorable picture of me and him.

I can't remember if it was before or after the picture, but we talked for a bit. He thanked me for the pin again and I told him how I had wanted to make him something like I had last time. As soon as I mentioned the No Face I'd made his eyes lit up and he was like "Oh yea that was great" and it made me smile because he remembered me. The conversation was short but sweet and overall perfect.

I think that got the highlights of the show, and I should come back and enter in more info tomorrow but I'm tired and I have stuff to do tomorrow

Open your eyes we're here are you okay?
