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?

Days 2, 3, and 4

hahaha
I guess I'd better catch this up... since I have to do a journal for one of my classes.
Day 2 = Friday, 8/24
Day 3 = Saturday, 8/25
Day 4 = Sunday, 8/26

Day 2/3: After riding the bus to Silver Beach watching 300 (which wasn't as good as everyone said, but that's me xD) we arrived and got settled in the cabins. The weekend was entirely fun, freetime was spent either swimming or just hanging out with friends. One of the group activities was painting a beach chair. My team (which is my Frosh Seminar class) are PORTfolio and Honors and Scholars so we painted the chair yellow, green, pink, and blue with PORTfolio and Honors and Scholars on the arms, and Marlins across the front of the chair with all our names on the back. We also had our book discussion with Pres. Greer, which went pretty well from what I saw. Later that night (2) was the bonfire/crab and clam steam. My friends and I couldn't really figure out the crabs but the clams were excellent. After that there was a t-shirt graffiti party but I was tired and didn't stay the whole time, instead opting to go take a shower.

The next day (3) we got up and had breakfast then free time, and the last activity of that day was the cardboard boat regatta. That was one of the most fun things I've done in a long time. We got two sheets of cardboard, a big sheet of plastic, bubble wrap, two cardboard stick things, and duct tape. Somehow I was lucky enough to get two guys who know something about boats and building so we ended up with a pretty sturdy boat that was covered in plastic and two spear-like paddles. The race itself was so fun to watch, a couple boats falling apart when they first hit the water. My group's boat even won the race AND was still in good shape. Overall, that was so awesome.

Day 3/4: After leaving Silver Beach, we headed back to our dorms, where I just wanted to clean up a little bit and then just chilled. Sunday went about the same, pretty much just hanging out with Amber, Audrey and Nikki. Got to sleep in which was fun, because the next day school started....

Days 5 and 6 will be posted later on, but it's time for dinner.

Freshman Year Day 1/2

Day 1: Things went smoothly and there was no incident. The room was almost set up nicely, though adjustments still have to be made. Other than that it was pretty uneventful. Stayed up til around 12:30 talking with the hallmates. Then stayed up til 2 chatting with roomie. Overall, I made some new friends and I'm happy with that.

Day 2: Woke up around 9 and went to "lunch". Vegetarian entree was delicious. Ate lunch with roomie, hallmates, and others. New friends names: Nikki (Roomie), Amber & Audrey (Hallmates), Emily and Patti (Rose hall homies). After lunch, we went to go back to the dorm to pack for Silver Beach and walked out an emergency exit, thus setting the alarm off. Nikki and me made a run for it while Audrey and Amber walked back out.

Overall, we at least made it without stupidity....

I want... I want you

I move in to my dorm tomorrow... It's rather exciting.
I just thought I'd post a new blog to say that
And also, I'm trying to work on this idea for a music video that came out of listening to "The Love Letter" by Blaqk Audio
Everytime someone reads it they say it's slashy
But I didn't write it in that context
I wrote it as this is Jade and Davey's project
So the video should be about just the two of them
I guess it doesn't help that the song's called "The Love Letter"
But oh well.

Nothing else really exciting has happened that I want to blog about it
I guess until later

Who said that it's better to have loved and lost, I wish that I had never loved at all

What If I Wanted To Break?

Despite the sad tone of the song the title belongs to
I am extremely happy
I just had one of the best nights ever
Just hanging out and watching a movie with a friend
I can't wait for more days like this.
I can't wait for him to be closer.
I can't wait for my exciting new life.....

I hope everyone feels this way some day

Bounce Wit Me Now!

Haha... okay this blog will be MUCH more happy then the last one
I absolutely adore my friends
And they make me smile no matter what so... yea.... HAPPY
But the one thing that would make me happier times ten
Is if the one person I absolutely like above all others
Would tell me that he likes me above all others
So that confusion would be diminished
And I would be able to relax

Anyway.... I'm gonna go take a nap...
But remember! I TURN 18 soon! sooooooo
YAAAAAAAAAAY *flail*

Catch you on the flip side,

There’s too many things to get done, and I’m running out of days

Awkward
Uncomfortable
Shy
Depressed
Self-doubting


And that's only saying things in the nicest sense about myself
Sure I like myself SOMETIMES
But you know, I have issues that will never be resolved
And I've got scars that will always show
I am not used to affection from anyone but friends
I am so scared I am going to fuck something up
And lose everything I care about
I can honestly say, yes there are good things about me
But it's hard to think what they are

I turn 18 in 18 days..........
It's kinda weird
Those times when I was feeling so shitty
I used to promise the world
I wouldn't make it to age 18
Yet here I am, 17 days away
From my last chance to die before I'm 18

God I'm so fuckin' emo...
Except not really
As Britney Spears is playing in my room

With as much love as I can muster
