I'm sooooooooo HxC!
Went to Warped Tour today. Was looking for Brandt while we waited in line to get Jen's ticket. He ends up finding us almost as soon as we get in there. He was my Warped Tour date for the day. First we went to see who was playing, and then walked around at the booths. Saw Hey Chris at the Fall Out Boy merch booth. (For those of you that don't know, there's a song dedicated to Chris. So he's partially famous because of that.) They had a pair of cute shorts that I wanted but I decided to go back later because I didn't want to carry them around all day. Saw some of Billy Talent. They were pretty good. We lost Erinna and Jen, so Brandt and I looked for them. Couldn't find them so we worked our way towards the front to see Taking Back Sunday. Those people were crazy! People were leaving, and crying. One girl had a bloody nose. Wussies. It was crammed, but it wasn't that bad. I had so much fun and felt like the biggest loser when I didn't know the words to the songs from the new CD. Whatever. I knew some of them. It was awesome none the less. Then we walked around trying to find them again. We did. Said we were going to see New Found Glory. Found out I had the wrong time and they were playing an hour later. They didn't stay where we told them to so we could find them! Gr. So we walked around AGAIN looking for them. Went and saw some of The Casualties and then at 3 went and saw some of Coheed & Cambria. They aren't really that good live. Claudio sounded like he was really out of breath, and his voice was wierd. I'm glad they played Favor House Atlantic before we left to go see New Found Glory (at the right time). They were awesome. People were moshing. Double U-Tee-Eff. You cannot mosh to NFG. As much as I like them, no, it's not meant to be done. I sang to every single song. They even played Truth of My Youth! That made me so happy. It's my favorite off Catalyst. I just wish they didn't play Bruised and Broken. I don't really like their slow songs, and definitely not at a concert when I'm like weiouajcdioiruckdajeam over one of my favorite bands. Oh well. They're so good live. Jordan didn't flip out and dance though. :( Oh well. Then we found Erinna and Jen again. We all wanted to go different places. Jen wanted to see Yellowcard at 4 so Erinna went with her, and Brandt wanted to see River City Rebels at 4 so he went to that. I on the other hand wanted to see Fall Out Boy. Bad. So I went there. Oh Emm Gee. There were so many people it was not funny. I worked my way up towards the front. Didn't get to the front. Close enough though.
And then I almost died.
They came on and played "Tell That Mick He Just Made My List of Things to Do Today". It was so crammed. I couldn't move unless everyone else moved. Brandt wasn't behind me to keep people off me. My arms were bent so that my hands were upwards and my elbows pointed down, and they were pressed so hard against my chest. After that song I had to get out. I could barely breath and I couldn't move. Then they were going to play "Dead On Arrival", but guess what! The speakers were falling over so until they found a way to fix it they couldn't play. Don't even ask how upset I was. The guy next to me was really mad. At least he had gotten to see them 2 times before. I only got to hear one song and that wasn't very enjoyable! You can't really sing along when you can't breathe. Singing along is a must. So I was like WHATEVER. And went to the merch booth and bought those cute shorts and a belt. Pete was there signing stuff. Not my stuff. I met him earlier. He was really nice. He asked, "What are your guys' names?" I was like ".......Stephanie."
Bah. I was nervous. I shook his hand. It was awesome. I saw Joe and Andrew before they were going to play, but not Pat. WTF? Does he not like to meet fans? I was mad. He still looked hot in his tight jeans though. :D Today was awesome. I got the worst sunburn in the world. :\
I started to miss you a little bit when I saw you today. I wondered what things would be like if I hadn't done what I did. I'm still thinking about it. Maybe things would be better than they are right now, maybe this was inevitable, and everything else. I'm just glad I can answer some of those questions myself.
Seeing your true feelings for the first time was overwhelming. I really don't know what to say except that I am amazed you felt those things. At times I wasn't sure, and I kind of wished you would have told me those things while we were together.
I gained a new perspective on someone today. They did some things that totally changed my opinion on how they felt about me, and that they really do mean those three words, in whatever way they mean them to be. Friends, or more than that. And I know I mean them (those words) too, just not more than that. :)
[edit] Your cheesy lines make my day.
[edit again] I think I'll be able to see The Natalie Fight, 88, and Atonement next weekend. :D
