So its time for my irregular update on my whereabouts =p.
Tonight was pretty amazing. But I’ll start back further…
I cancelled moving out to the east/west coast after I found out it would be impossible for me to go thru college outside of minnesota. Sad face, but here = I get to go to the U of M for free. Cause of living here forever, money situations, and for being a “first gen” college student. My siblings, my parents, my grandparents, pretty sure my great great great grandparents too have never gone to college. Crazy.
After I figured out that im staying here for the next 4 years, I bought a car the same day lol. Cause I am Not going to be stuck here and be contained within these four walls anymore. Im usually for Dodges but this one was too nice to pass up on.. a 2003 Cavalier LS *Sport*. yes you have to include the sport because it sounds niftier =]
I drove to Mpls yesterday (that’s Minneapolis to outsiders) and got away from all the downers my home has. I got lost in the big city and i was about to start crying.. somehow i found my way.
My friend Exi was awesome enough to have a sleepover with me. So… we were watching scary movies and ended up falling asleep together in her bed, under the same blanket, which sounds like trouble- but it was totally innocent. We didn’t wrestle under the covers or anything like that. Lol. Sexual thoughts didn’t go through my mind either so I was relieved… I finally have a friend that doesn’t have to be more than that! Apparently I am a blanket hogger though >.<
The next day(today) we went to Station 4 and I went to MY FIRST SHOW EVER omgahs.She got the tickets so these were new bands for me. That place is like the perfect grungy setting for a show. The headliner was Funeral For A Friend(2nd best). And then Emarosa(BEST there), The Sleeping(3rd), and This Is Hell(4th but still good.. for Screamo). I am fuckin addicted now and ive got a show buddy to go with. Were doing another one in a few weeks. Ok so, the generic emo kids here need to start evolving into their own styles plz. Waiting outside in line I was saying how cute they were for all looking the same lol. Its like theyre Hot Topic babies.. aww :D
It took a while for the crowds to warm up but then it was Pretty cool, definitely my kind- everyone was into it including the bands. The kids started a crazy running circle. I f’ed up my knee jumping so much by the time Funeral For A Friend came on. Some times the chicks in front of me kept looking back at me for no reason, I swear, and that makes me uncomfortable.. Especially when theyre with their boyfriends, wth is that lol. Im sure it came off that I was “with” Exi though so I didn’t worry about it. Maybe next show I’ll get some people’s myspaces/facebooks. Oh yeah FFAF is English, and that’s the first time ive seen a real live english person haha.
Pretty sure this is funeral for a friend, it was impossible to hold a cell phone still. We were like oh well deafness, and moved up to like the first row later.
Emarosa. Awesome
Afterwards we went to an authentic Irish Pub. With the irish music and all. Im part irish... it made me feel kinda proud for some reason.. and Exi… well Exi is a mix lol. We played Scrabble on the table, w00t.
Last thing we did was go to the park and they had ice sculptures.. and let me try to set up the moment… we were in a downtown park, with skyscrapers all around, but it was 1 am and perfectly silent… except there was this hobo looking guy playing the accordian for pocket change, it was wonderful… and the only people you saw were the occasional couples holding hands walking thru the park. Just happy. And all around were ice sculptures and trees lit up with christmas décor. :]] Just one of those moments that happens unexpectedly.
I dropped her off, and we gave each other a big super hug, and then I drove on home.
I need to crash now, but I will be back sooner than later to get some commenting in =]
<3 you guys.
