[ this entry is such a local band advertisement, i swear... i intentionally put links to their band sites a million plus times because i want you to check them out... gotta support my boys!]
warped tour was perfect minus all the personal bullshit that had nothing to do with the bands and such- just me, my friends, and our tampons. har har.
so, we get there and we immediately see ben & josh from
nine cent dime. i am madly in love with both of them, so as soon as we saw them i knew it was going to be an amazing day. they were on our balls because we got them to the very front of the line and they didn`t have to wait in the 2 thousand mile line! woo. then we went and found dustin & shane and their number one roadie CJ from
one too many as well as ed from
june decision. before the show started we were just walking around the tents and merchandise tables and this guy comes up and gives us this piece of paper saying "come see count the stars @ 1:15" i was like, *COUNT THE STARS?! FUCK YEA I LOVE THEM!* realizing he just might be in the band i stupidly ask... "you`re not in that band, are you?!" ...... "i`m the drummer..." *faint* i got totally retarded all a sudden because there i was touching the CTS drummer and talking to him like we were homies... GOD IS SO GOOD TO ME! first i see my favorite drummer ben, then my favorite drummer ed, and now my favorite drummer Dave? i told him i liked his pants on him and we got a picture with him. weee.... the day just keeps getting better.
we watched mest first. that is the ONLY band that me and all the girls were together for. from that point on, we all went our seperate ways. i mean, we`d be in the same crowd, just on totally opposite sides. mest was kickass. i had to leave for like 10 minutes of it because jen was going to die if she didn`t get water :( they said "fucking in my cadillac" and oh lord, i almost orgasmed. i have this crazy obsession with the word "fucking" in songs - for example... the used, "four o`clock in the fucking morning"... *dies* oh yes.. and they played "Fuct Up Kid", i screamed so loud. it wasn`t even 1 o`clock and i was already loosing my voice. super.
After Mest we headed over to see Count the Stars. They aren`t big yet, so the crowd was small and perfect. i could see everything, including favorite drummer dave. the bassist puts on an amazing show all by himself, just his facial expressions and his moves - i want to make love to him. they sang "taking it all back", my favorite song by them... but they left out -the bridge- part which is insanely sexy... boo! somewhere in that time, my girls started a moshpit! hahahaaha. unforetunately, i was busy pretending i was the singers microphone cause hot damn, that kid can sing!
after count the stars chels, shane, ed, and i went and saw The Starting Line together. Ed put me up on his shoulders for like EVERY SINGLE SONG, and chels` was on aesops? shoulders. let me tell you, i love being in the pit jumping around and screaming, but being on someone`s shoulders able to see EVERYTHING on stage and EVERYONE in the crowd is amazing. it`s something i`ll always remember... seeing 800 million heads nodding to the same beat and sychronized hand motions... next best thing to actually being on stage. that must be the HUGEST rush. i want to be in a band so bad.
after that, Ed asked me to go watch Poison the Well with him. He grabbed my hand and was like COME ON! soo.. there i was on my way to see a hardcore screaming yelling band... eeeeh! (btw, after he let go of my hand i felt cool- i was like I JUST HELD ED SANTANA`S HAND FOR A WHOLE MINUTE... i`m such a fag!) buuut anyway, it`s definitley not my type of music, but i enjoyed it anyway! they had some crucial guitar solos that made me shake. I got to go up on his shoulders again... and i looked over to my right where everyone was waiting for Simple Plan and i saw all my preppy ex-friends. phillip waved to me, and i was just like.. eh, fuck you. The singer of PTW has a nice voice when he`s not yelling, i swear. it`s not annoyingly high, like um... pierres? Ed took one of my bracelets, and i have one of his band pins... so now we just rock eachother like woah. hahah
then we ventured back over to the simple plan side but chels & shane were not in the same spot anymore. so, i was stuck with mr. Ed for yet another band. i probably chilled with him more than anyone.... and that`s not a bad thing at all... i liked hanging out with him. it`s just kind of weird that our whole group wasn`t together, me and the girls... but, pardon me for saying this- i probably had a better time without them, than i would`ve had with them! :x NO DRAMA, NO BITCHIN, NO TRIPPIN OUT OVER STUPID SHIT! Simple Plan was good, they have crucial potty mouths though. I was really pissed off that they didn`t sing *PERFECT* b/c i wanted to rock the shit out of that song... it`s everything i feel right now... everything i`ve felt since i was a little girl. "i`ll never gonna be good enough for you..." :*( yeeks, i relate to it now more than ever- now that i`m going to college.
Then we all met up @ the lawn. I got a some condoms from the Trojan people so we played with those. woo. They gave me a huge one, let me tell you! you could like stick your FOOT in it! i told dustin from
OTM that and he thought it was funny- that`s one of the only things i said to him the whole night. it makes me mad because i remember when it was like my dream to be one of his good friends, and now i want nothing to do with him. :*( he irritates the hell out of me, when i`m around him i feel sick in the stomach.
Sitting down was really boring though, so boring that i got a headache. I guess when you`re up and running, you can`t think about your head hurting so when Ed from
JD came back i went to watch Coheed & Cambria with him. *fun times* I haven`t heard but one of their songs, but they are awesome. I really liked them and now i have to go dL* all their shit. (= I finally saw my TAY again and we rocked out together even though i knew none of the words and she was singing them like it was her job. she looked so happy to be there and that made me happy. ahhh, i love these feelings!
After Coheed I watched the beginning of Brand New then left and went back to the lawn because i lost Tay & Ed somehow and i didn`t want to be by myself. plus, i didn`t know any of the words to their songs either- and that`s just no fun. So, Chels, Shane, and I walked around and bought stuff. I got my count the stars shirt and got all of them to sign it for me. (= We were trying to find Simple Plan because they were supposed to be at their Merch tent, but all i found was Melissa! <3 my chee-bun-ski ho! i haven`t seen her since my days @ Urban Planet, so that was great! aweee...
I watched AAR with Margo, and they kind of sucked. awe, that`s like the only time i was with her the whole day. :*( okay, so they were actually really good, sound wise... but i couldn`t see squat because they were on a stage the size of my room and 7093485345 people, no joke, came to see them. they really belonged on the mainstage, shoot.
We ate DOMINOS after that. 1o bucks for a personal pan pizza. (4 reg. sized peices). oh lord, that`s the best pizza i ever had. (i was just really hungry.. if you know what i mean) That`s when i finally got a hold of Kim(
remmik). She said "come to the Ataris tent" so to the atari`s tent i went. She`s a cool chick! I think i told her friend i want his balls? haha! i didn`t get to talk to her that much because my friends were being gay and leaving me. I wanted to see the Used with her because i know she appreciates them just as much as i do, but i somehow ended up loosing her... boohoo!
well, i mean i could`ve found her again, BUT i found Josh of
NCD & my friends chillin` in the back and since he was there i couldn`t leave! haha.. i hadn`t seen him in a good 6 hours and he`s funny as crap. so funny that he HONKED at a girl. (history: i told him about how garison went in to kiss me one time and i honked at him) so he tried it.. except it was kind of opposite because he went in and honked at HER!!! retard! he gave me a really good hug, the kind where you`re not facing eachother but the dude just has his arms around you. he was like, "this would be a good time to perfect the ball swing". so, i was standing there, with his arms around me, swinging the balls i don`t have with him. we seriously looked like we were humping! i was like "you know.. i really feel like we`re having sex right now.. you are sooo humping me.... this is sooo fun" yea okay, i admit, i liked it. that`s the most action i`ve gotten in a long time. hahahaha ;) chelsea told me she was proud of me, and that made me proud of myself! ah, but rocking out to the ataris with my girls & boys was the BEST. we were as far back from the stage as possible having the best time in the world. we were all "happy moshing"... you know, when they dance rather than punch you in the face? oh god, i was completely on cloud nine. this is what i live for, i swear.
ps - someone needs to write a song called "this is what i live for" and dedicate it to me. it needs to be about screwing up, breaking down, but completely loosing yourself at shows. actually, don`t... when the girls & i start a band, that`ll be my first single! (=
back on topic... so the ataris ended and it was finally time for the used! the fucking used!! i had been waiting 8 hours for them and the time had finally come. oh man, i was shaking soo bad! everyone got split up then. GO FIGURE!! i believe tay was with the sam & evan of
let it fall, margo was with shane and dustin of
one too many, and chels, jen & OTM road dawg cj ran off together. yea, thanks for leaving me guys, i love you too! oh wait.. that`s right... i was with who? JOSH of NINE CENT DIME!? i really mean.. THANKS FOR LEAVING ME GUYS, I LOVE YOU TOO!!!! hahaha... i`m just joking around... i do not sweat josh like that. but, i had a fun time hanging out with him before they started. we`d go in really close for a kiss, i mean, our foreheads hit we were that close, and HONK. good fucking times. everyone knows i secretly wanted to kiss him. haha.. or maybe not, i dont know.. i`m so horny its not even funny.
they started and ahhhh... A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. best show by far!! bert was like "we need to pause, and remember this moment, forever... let this be something you never forget... and well, i`m going to show you my ass" umm... BERTS ASS?? hello... boyyyy! right at that minute Josh lifted me up, and i got to see it ALL CLOSE AND PERSONAL! (= he was wearing a black thong! hahahahaha. i will never forget that moment, EVER. i screamed SO DAMN LOUD and was moving SO DAMN MUCH during blue & yellow and taste of ink that the ppl around me were giving me weird looks. i was so happy you don`t even understand. the used is such an amazing band... do you understand that? the... used.. is... such... a... FUCKING... amazing... band!!! to be able to breathe the same air as them, see them nearly 1o feet away from me, hear them LIVE... god, i`m shaking again! its all a big wet dream! ;)
the last song i heard @ warped was "say days ago". i was hoping they`d end with "on my own" but no such luck. josh put me on his shoulders for the last song, and it was just a perfect way to end the night. up there, where i like it! hahaa.. i`m not a "down on my knees bitch" (lmao.. forget it!) afterwards we rushed to the fence to see them and chels & Cj managed to get BACKSTAGE? wtf? i was so jealous. but, i`m really glad Cj got to.. cause he is a big hardcore BABY... he started CRYING during one of the songs. <3 sweeeeet.
i said bye-bye to josh at the fence. he was like "you`re coming on sunday right?" (they`re playing with an amazing SIGNED band, THE EARLY NOVEMEBER!) i was like... "no, i`ll be in north carolina!" and he was like... "well then, i better get my lovin` now"... sweet jesus, i wanted to fuck him against the fence when he said that. (woah, did i just say that out loud?) but yea, i got a good hug, and that was it. it was time to go home. :(
except the night wasn`t even over. i still had to find everyone else. *eek* i found jen... and we eventually found chelsea & taylor... margo was lost. no, she was just kissing dustin`s balls. ah, she wants him so bad... i know it! oookay.... so we finally all meet up. everyone says there goodbyes. i didn`t get to say goodbye to ben or ed cause i couldn`t find them... shane & dustin were right beside me and didn`t even say bye - JACKASSES! but um... that`s okay because right after their asses left, guess who we saw? the lead singer for a
monument to nothing! we saw them @ Nations the night we first saw
NCD &
OTM and chels & i struck up some conversation with him! he`s a really cool guy- all friendly and such. atleast *HE* said goodbye to me... *cough cough*. hopefully we`ll see them again, they weren`t so bad from what i can remember. except, he almost killed my little chelsa when he jumped off stage and nicks shoes could`ve knocked my eyes out when he kicked them off!
okay... after that, we were really on our way home. i stayed the night at chelseas and we made ramen. *mmmmm* we talked and talked and talked, and it felt good to vent. i got some things cleared up with her, and apparently she didn`t say what i was told she said! that made me mad... but we are so on the same level when it comes to things. we see things the same way, and i`m glad cause i need someone like that. i`m not the only one that feels this way about certain people, about myself, and yea... now i don`t feel half as bad.
the experience was TIMELESS. i want to do it all over again. but, when i`m not so sore and busted up. the end (=
