I want to break free

For those of you who would rather read my blog instead of talk to me about my life, here you go...

Alright, so where to begin? Oh my gosh, what a day. First off, I woke up late Friday morning, so I was running late to go pick up our order of senior pictures in Millersburg. Which means I didn't have time to take a shower before, and was rushed getting ready for the concert later. But oh well, it was all good. We ended up getting rid of all the tickets, Laya and Brian jumped in on the last minute. But then, Friday a little before we were going to leave Brian had to go back home and work on his sociology report that he hadn't finished yet. Sorry, Brian, it would have been nice to have you there, but we've got all of summer to hang out, even though it won't involve the Killers, lol.

So, we all drove to Columbus: Luke, Laura, Rachel, Theresa, Matt, Brandon, Laya, Marissa, and I, and we met Ashley, Mike, Amy, and Laura there. Then we made our way to the concert place and these two big black guys (not being racist...it would have been just as freaky if they were two big white guys) came right up to Marissa saying, "you got the extra ticket?!" And so they were all like, "Let me see the ticket"...being really close to her and whatnot. They offered $20, but Marissa wanted to get at least the money she paid so she could give Tiff back her money for not going. So Matt, being all brave and cool as he is, was like, "$40" and the dudes wouldn't give that much, so Marissa was like, "$30" and they agreed. But they were like trying to take the ticket before and it was just freaky...oh well...

Then we waited in a line that we expected to be rather long, but was actually quite short, for about 3 hours. And it even rained for a while, that was fun, lol. Then they opened the gates and we went and stood in our spots for the conert, we were rather close to the stage, it was cool. So then we waited there, standing still, for 2 hours until finally the opening band, "Hot Hot Heat" came out and played for 45 minutes. They were okay, the lead guy had wicked curly hair, and the guitarist was really sweet. Then during the other 45 minutes we waited after the opening band, for the Killers, these girls tried to crowd and push their way to the front, which is bound to happen, but it was already really crowded. So everyone was getting thrown this way and that way and by the time the girls got there, we were like an extra 5 feet back from the stage and it was so crowded that if we were naked babies would have been made, lol. I was so crunched that I couldn't move an inch and I was so freaking hot, as was everyone else I'm sure, and it smelled, mostly like cigarettes (courtesy of this guy who Rachel was flirting with, we called "eyeliner guy") and joints (courtesy of these two lesbian girls...who were apparently making out as well...but I couldn't see a single thing)

Then finally the Killers came on and I was excited, but I couldn't see a single thing unless I stood on my tiptoes, in which case I could see a hint of Brandon Flowers...whom Amy and Laura W. had talked about kidnapping and raping....but anyway...after about 2 songs of the Killers this idiot guy tried to crowd surf, even though nobodies hands were even up, and he came down and landed straight on my head. It freaking hurt and left me with a horrible headache. So I decided that I had experienced enough up there and it would be best for me to make my way out of the craziness and back to the lawn to watch. So I made my way back and finally made it through all the drunk people, lol. Then Mike saw me, and I watched the rest of the concert with Mike, Ashley, Caitlin, and Josh from the lawn where I could breath, and move! I enjoyed the concert much better where I could see and had enough room to dance.

So they played all the good songs; "Indie rock and roll," "Mr. Brightside," "Somebody told me," "Smile like you mean it," and they even played two new songs. They were okay. So the whole time I had to go to the bathroom and I wanted to buy a shirt before the line got too long, but I didn't want to leave until I saw them play my favorite song, "All these things that I've done." But I waited and waited and they never played it, so I was like, "forget it, I'm going to pee my pants." So I went to the bathroom, and I hear Brandon Flowers say, "Alright, this is our last song" and go figure, it's my favorite song! So, I heard it, but I didn't get to see them rock out with it, that sucked.

So after the concert ended I found Marissa, Matt, and Brandon, in which Marissa told me someone spit gum in her hair, lol. But then we found everyone else and went back to the cars, then we went to Wendy's, the drivethrough, we went like 3 times, lol. It was fun. Then we all basically slept on the way home, except for Matt who was driving, thank God he didn't fall asleep, lol. So I got home and went to bed, I think.

Alright, so Saturday I slept in til 1:30! That was really sweet! Then I worked on graduation invitations and did senior pictures, and cleaned my room, then a bunch of us went to see "The Longest Yard" for Ashley Beagle's birthday. It was an awesome movie! Seriously, it was just awesome! You have to see it, all of you! Then I got home and talked on aol until about 2:15 in the morning, lol, completely spoiling all the sleep I had made up. Now I'm tired again, lol. But it's okay, I'd rather have a good conversation and be tired than have no conversation and have plenty of sleep.

So, today I went to church, came home and babysat until about 4. Then I got ready and went to Trevor's graduation party with Marissa and Amy, then we went to Scott's graduation party, and then I went to my cousin's house for a bonfire thing, but I didn't stay long. Then I came home and watched the pilot of "Desperate Housewives." I wish I'd gotten into it earlier, it was my kind of show, like a sort of Sex and the City meets a soap opera. It was cool considering I love Sex and the City and all those teenage soap operas like One Tree Hill and whatnot. So after getting a lot of graduation invitations done I got on aol and had some conversations with some people and some not-so conversations with others, lol.

And now I am so off to bed because I have a family get together tomorrow. Maybe I'll go to the parade, I don't know, it depends how tired I am I suppose. Alright, well, before I leave I'd like to point out these lyrics to the Queen song, "I want to break free." Awesome song, and it's perfect for what I'm thinking these days.

I Want to Break Free - Queen
I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You’re so self satisfied I don’t need you
I’ve got to break free
God knows God knows I want to break free

I’ve fallen in love
I’ve fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it’s for real
I’ve fallen in love yeah
God knows God knows I’ve fallen in love

It’s strange but it’s true
I can’t get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free baby
Oh how I want to be free
Oh how I want to break free

But life still goes on
I can’t get used to living without living without
Living without you by my side
I don’t want to live alone hey
God knows got to make it on my own
So baby can’t you see
I’ve got to break free

I’ve got to break free
I want to break free yeah
I want I want I want I want to break free....
