Drawing and 30stm on Conan
I'm getting better at realism, I think...There's a few areas I need to tweak, but I'm so happy with it!
This is a drawing of Shannon Leto, the brother of the beautiful Jared leto. He's also the drummer in Jared's band 30 seconds to Mars(30stm). Guess who went to Conan O'brien on Tuesday to see them?
I woke up this morning at 1:35 to the wails of my six month old nephew that I was baby sitting as his mummy and dad were on their honeymoon. He's teething, you see, so sleeping through the night seems to be a chore to him. It's like having him as a newborn again. Every few hours, a cry to be fed, changed, or just held in your arms and comforted. So yes, by the time I handed him off to his father at 11:30am, I had bags suitcases under my eyes. I called in NBC to get my tickets, printed them out and put them away. That was taken care of.
Wanted to wear some cute jeans but lo and behold. My mum threw all of my pants away. Every. Last. One. So I needed to find a skirt. I had NOTHING to wear. I picked out an outfit and I was absolutely terrified by how I looked. Fat, fat, fat. Did I mention fat? X_x Threw it on anyway. My hair was a ball of FRIZ. See, some people have nice curly hair. Me? FRIZ. So I washed it over, and tried to straighten it best as I could. Ended up putting it in a ponytail. GAHH.
Went on the train and it got more and more crowded as we neared the city. This gorgeous gorgeous man with eyes that would put Jared's own to shame came on and I looked at him and he looked back and frowned. So I shrugged and stood humming "Attack" Lo and behold, said man stood behind me when it got too crowded...and after a while, I FELT something against my leg. I thought it was the movement of the train that had him moving back and forth like that, but no. He was rubbing his nasty self against me and of course I panicked. I always find myself in situations like this and I always panic. WTF is wrong with me?
Then...wow, it gets better. This man in a business suit, dressed to the nines with a newspaper actually put his paper DOWN in his lap and was watching and didn't do a thing. Just watched as if we were putting on a show. Molestor man got off at 42 street and walked off as if nothing happened. Voyeur man put his face back into his newspaper. This woman kept staring at me with disdain, and I knew exactly what she was thinking about me. I'm mentally stabbing myself inwardly because I should have said something. I lost my voice.
Got off the train, got lost...finally found my way to the studo after begging for directions from a man who wanted to pick me up more than help me out. *sigh* Got nasty stares from various women. Heard some older ladies talking about me as if they KNEW me. "Young girls be thinking they grown nowadays. Looka them heels. High. REAL high." I went over to them and stated my age and my right to be wearing my heels, no matter how tall they were. *sigh*
Walked into NBC studios and asked where Conan was. These two female security guards acted as if they didn't want to help me, but one snapped "Up the elevator" What was with the animosity today? What did I do wrong? When it rains it pours...
Got on a looooooooooooooooooong line. The people next to me were so annoying. SO, SO annoying. A woman who worked there announced 30stm was performing and aked "Do you know who the lead singer is?" and someone answered "JARED LETO!" Cue the SQUEALING from girls around. So I had to sit through comments like "Omg, he's in a baaand?" "*F* his band, I just wanna see Jared!" "Omg, wouldn't it be cool if Cameron Diaz was a guest?" *PULLS HAIR OUT*
Conan was fun. The studio is a lot smaller than you would think. I sat next to these friendly girls and I swear, there was this male usher with glasses that would park his backside next to my FACE and dance. He even tried to do this freaky crotch waving move and the other usher had to do a "no no stop!" arm waving movement. *sigh* Let me get to the point.
Yadda yadda, Christina Applegate, who was funny as she spoke about her role as a hooker of sorts. Some fat man who worked with Howard Stern that I could care less about. And then came 30stm.
I squealed when Shannon came out. <3 SQUEALED. They warmed up for a bit, Jared tuning his guitar. Tomo working his. Jared walked around in a circle singing to himself. Aha. Cute. Then they started and I stared at Shannon. But then I got distracted. The oddest thing about it was I couldn't keep my eyes off Tomo. What was up with that? I had Shannon in a nice view, but noo. Janelle kept staring at Tomo. He was like...all over the stage. Seriously, there's something about the way he plays that I never noticed. Shannon was awesome on the drums. Matt was so cute with his wee skinny legs. SKINNY!! I love it. They sounded nicely even though Jared seemed nervous...just to me I guess? Jared stopped in between the performance and told us that he and Shannon had relatives in Lousiana and asked us to give a moment of silence. It was so sad and sweet. Song finished, got a nice cheer from the audience...Then they left. Aww!!!
Conan did his funny antics. Left the studio and walked around like a zombie in heat looking for the guys. Around and around at every entrance. People were giving me funny looks the third time around and after a while I gave up and headed to the subway...a voice inside told me to go back so I did.
As I walked back to the main entrance, I noticed a pretty woman with curly hair that looked all too familiar with me. She asked me if I would take a picture of her in front of the studios and I did. "You look familiar to me..." She answered "Would it be from a message board?" Yup. It was Gem. Lol. I swear, we know our own. She's such a sweetie and not at all like I imagined. No, don't take it the wrong way. You're awesome. We went on hunt for the guys and my mum kept calling me. *SIIIIGH* Out of respect, I called her back. I get hounded a lot from the family, you see. Bigger damper. Questions from my sister. "Where are you going today?" Brother in law picks up his son. "So where are you heading out to?" Mum calls. "Where are you and why aren't you at home?" Did I mention I'm not 16?
Gem has a nose for Jared, I swear, because as I was on the phone, she starts walking toward this black van. I followed her and who should I see getting in it but Tomo, Shannon and Matt? Jared was already in by the time I reached there. I stopped in my tracks because I'm a shy idiot, and then followed her. She stood ourside the tinted window pointing to them and then pointing to me. I stood there on the phone trying to get my mum of my case. Alas, the guys were in a rush. Jared put his palm up against the window and Gem put hers against it and that was that. They were gone. By this time, I was in full blown upset mood with everything seeming to go wrong. But you know what? You'd think not meeting the guys was a bad thing, but for so many reasons I was glad I didn't.
Gem and I parted ways. She offered to walk me in the subway and offered for us all to hang out next time around. I'm sorry if I seemed a bit odd. I'm usually so happy and bubbly and out going...but just not today. This old man starts a conversation with me as we waited for the train and I really, really wasn't in the mood to talk. He was nice so I just nodded and smiled.
Walking down my block, some chick called me a bitch for no reason. I screamed back at her*sigh* A group of guys acting like freaking dogs who'd never seen someone's ass before...almost twisted my ankle walking up the stairs. Now I'm home sitting here wondering what happened. Geeze. I must be destined to have bad luck when it comes to these guys. Maybe something terrible will happen when I meet them.
But yeah. The show was great.
