a post of things.
1] This year has been AWESOME in terms of concerts. I never go to many concerts, okay. But this year, ALL of my favourites happened/are about to happen, and it just makes me really happy. Headstones (!!!!!!!!!!!!) and Glee already happened, and on the 30th is Girlyman, and then in August: BLINK182! So not only do I get to see all four of my faves in one year, but two of them were like, reunion shit I never thought would actually happen.
MCR is opening for Blink, and I know a ton of my flist love them.. so feel free to share songs so that I know more than like, five. ;D
The only thing that would make this Year in Music spot in PERFECT is if I had been at that mini-event Stephen put on when singing his new Charlene song. heh. But I'm gonna half-count Company as this, because even though it was in the theatres, I still got to see/hear him sing. <3
2] My cousin Heaven had a baby. Her name is Harleigh Reece, and I can't wait to meet her, but I'm still just.. stunned that she even got pregnant to begin with. Yes, even though it's been nine months and all. She also got engaged, as did Destini. What the hell is with these aging children? :'(
3] I was supposed to be house/kid/pet sitting all this past week until the 18th or something. Kara and Ben went to Alaska for their anniversary, and asked me to watch. Then like a week before the time came, I got an email saying that my aunt (the kids' grandma) asked if she could stay there the whole time. So.. there went that. Whatever, it's cool. I mean, I was kinda worried about doing it anyway, because I fail at adult, but it's still a little disappointing.
However! I will be seeing Harry Potter with the two oldest kids and my aunt on Saturday! We went against the Friday showing because a) my aunt is old ;P and b) Kailin will be at her other grandparent's until that day, and who knows what time she'll get home. So instead we're doing a matinee, and I will feel like a moron because I will probably sob throughout the entire fucking movie oh god. I just. They've read the books and all, but they're.. they're YOUNG. They weren't around as it was happening, they weren't in fandom, they don't have the same connections I do, so I doubt they'll get why I am SOBBING FOR FOREVER.
4] So my mom's BFF is getting married in late August. My mom got the invite, and mentioned that she'll fly out to California for it. Cue my annoyance, because hey, her being in California means she gets to see my brother and his family. My dad doesn't CARE about being left behind, because he's good with phone calls and skype, but me?
Look. It's been two years since we moved out here, and I still miss them all like a limb. My brother was my best friend growing up. We've never been this far apart for this long. So yeah, the idea of not seeing my nieces and nephews is also killing me, because jesus christ I miss them so fucking much, but I also miss my BROTHER. and I know it's selfish of me to be pissy and silent to my mom for this because.. you know. It's her son and her grandchildren. But.. it's my brother.
Anyway. The other day she came in with papers and was talking about finally buying her ticket. I was about to throw something at her because hi, way to rub it in my face, when she said I didn't have to be sad anymore, because I was going, too.
I AM GOING TO CALIFORNIA. I GET TO SEE MY BROTHER AND MY SISTER IN LAW AND MY NIECES AND MY NEPHEWS. I GET TO EAT PICK-UP STIX AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE. JDHSJKLFJLSKJDKLSDJFL:SL:l;'
I'm not sorry I was a brat before, okay. Because the amount of times I've cried over missing those kids? That makes up for my bitchiness. And now I get to SEE them again. Finally.
It's only for a week, at the very end of August. But I don't CARE. I haven't seen them since last March, and this is just.. I want to pack NOW. :D :D :D :D :D
Elijah and Luke!!
Noelle and Angelina!!
and lolz, this dude. (I apparently have zero recent pictures of me and my brother. XD I love this oldtastic one, though, so.)
