Wow. I havent had that much fun in a long time. Let's see I can recap this whole thing:

Ok, we all got to the school at 11 or so because the buses were supposed to leave at 12:30. They did the whole searching our bags and then we chilled in the gym until we were ready to go to the buses. But because my school consists of people who don't plan things out correctly, we got stuck waiting because we had too many people and not enough buses. So, that made a lot of people grumpy. Some of the people on my bus were really annoying (we had a lot of IB people), and no one was happy when we didnt make a stop, so we drove the entire trip without food or going to the bathroom. That kinda sucked. I watched 13 ghosts and got the bejesus scared out of me....We finally got to Universal later than planned, but whatever.

The pre-party wasn't that great...Just crappy food and stuff. But I got mardi gras beads. When they let us into the park, we decided to go on the water rides first so we could dry off later. I walked with Andrew, Kerry, and Ricardo. We all went on Cat in the Hat, Jurassic Park, Dudley Do-Right (got soaked!), and Spider-man. We wanted to go on the hulk and dueling dragons, but the line was ridiculous. We walked by the foam party, which was really lame in my opinion, but me and ricardo went around in the soap for a couple minutes before coming to the conclusion that this was stupid. The night went on, and we decided to go to the stage to wait for taking back sunday to get on.

(This was the funnest part of the whole night) We get to the stage area and I'm in the middle of the crowd with Kerry. We were just having fun and doing stupid stuff to waste time. This band "Rufio" came on, so we watched them. I've never heard them before, but they were pretty good and me and Kerry had fun with the drummer. In the middle of one of the songs, they start a mosh pit. I get hit in the head, and I turn around to punch the jerk who got me, but I pushed him instead, and some guy grabbed me and pulled me out of the mosh pit. When he pulled me, I got to the second row, so that was cool. When they got off, I stayed in the same spot because I wanted to get a good place for when Taking Back Sunday came on. I met this really cool girl (I wish I could remember her name. I think it started with a "c". She was awesome and I feel bad that I can't remember it...) and this guy named Charlie (I think that was his name...) I felt really bad because it was so crammed that I was pretty much on top of this kid and his friend, but I really don't think they minded it.

So me and (i'm just gonna say her name is Clarissa) got pushed up to the barracade during the beginning. I'm happy because I'm now front row. Let me just say that they were AWESOME. It was so much fun. There was crowd surfing, I got slammed against the barracade because of the crowd, and now I have bruised on my chest and thighs, but it was completely worth it. I can't even begin to explain how much fun it was. I asked the police man who was in front of me if I could have the list of what songs they played (it was taped to the stage floor), but he said the girl next to me already asked. No big deal. But as it was over and everyone was walking away, charlie grabbed and told me the security guy was calling me. I go up there, and he handed me the guitar pick. That made my night. I'm supposed to find Charlie (i really hope that's his name...) on myspace so I can give him some of the pictures from the show. Hopefully, him and that other girl will stumble across my livejounal.

But here's pictures of that night. Some are good, when some aren't that great. Thank God for digital cameras, because I took a buttload of pictures... These explain my night a lot better that I can:
