didn't get a summer job, I suck muchly. didn't bother me so much since I had some friends not working either except I'm broke now, yay. had a fun and uneventful summer, went to a spa with mom, bummed around, read books, bummed around some more.

it was KICKASSSSSS. I'm so glad I went because I love her. even though I sat so far away I could have cried because I learned about the concert so late and there were so few tickets left, and even though I haven't loved her music since scarlet's walk, it was still awesooome. here, have the setlist:

I'm so happy she played baker baker, winter and silent all these years. I really want to hear precious things live, but I was afraid she wouldn't play it. winter has been my favorite song of hers for a while, so I was ecstatic she played it. but I think my favorite in the whole concert was tear in your hand because she was just on fire with it. dang. the new songs are fine, but I'm not a fan of classical music so, eh. during silent all these years I ran from my place to the floor where everyone had stood up and gotten closer to the stage so I saw her a bit better for a short while, but she was still faaar away. I also got a pretty tote bag. I want to see her again!
ALSO, bought plane tickets to NYC! got the trip for my 25th birthday and asked a friend to join, and we are going in january! I'm ridiculously excited, I've never been to the US. anyone want to come say hi? ;)
went to the city's amusement park light carnival this weekend with a friend and rode the rollercoaster for the first time since high school, and I was screaming my head off! so much fun. we ate waffles and licorice and saw pumpkins and a zombie and a headless man (the job I had last year actually! wish I could have gotten it this year, too).
I wanna get into pottermore already!
hmm. halloween is coming, and since autumn is my favorite time of the year, I'm loving it. school is a bit stressful, but if I was even slightly better organized and managed to do things before the last minute, I would be fine. I'll work on it next week I think.
