I'm so sadface.
I was busy with the kids this morning, but something told me to go to allkpop.com. That's where I found that the presale tickets for Wonder Girls feat 2PM concert (In Washington DC) would go on sale todaaay. So I got all excited and had to figure out who was coming with me. First Allen, then Kie agreed (after making me wait forever.) Then I remembered my card had no money on it because I haven't yet been paid, so I called mom and she said she'd let me borrow her card when she got home but she didn't want to bother giving me the number over the phone. I was like "Yeah cool okay."
After I got off the phone with her I was like "but wait. 2PM is there. They really might sell out." Then I remembered this was just the presale tickets, there was no waaay that they'd sell out before the tickets were even open to the public.
I let it escape my mind as I finished The Reckoning. How did I like it? TERRIBLE disappointment. It did the Twilight thing and decided to ignore the characters that weren't what only just became the main couple. Only it was worse than Twilight because like.. Literally, when something interesting happened, the main characters would just tell the others to leave. I'm not kidding.
The book failed to answer a major question repeatedly raised in the story, and had several plot points that went essentially unresolved. A very, VERY disappointing final book. D:/
By the time I was done reading, my stomach was cramping... bad. Like, really bad. And I thought it was just period, so I took a midol and tried to shake it off. About 30 minutes afterwards, I left Jadyn to hold a bottle for Benjamin while I went to throw up. After that, I came and laid in my bed while Jadyn watched Fruits Basket and Benjamin napped. And cringed and nearly groaned and rolled around while my stomach was like eating me alive. It was giving me a bad feeling, like, something was seriously wrong. So I called mom and asked her if Barry would be around to watch the kids. She couldn't get in touch with him, so she took it upon herself to call Jenny. Thankfully, it didn't stress Jenny out to bad. She came home and got the kids, and I rested (and occasionally threw up more). Eventually I was feeling a bit better.
Mom got home. I was still kind of in pain, so it took me a few minutes to remember the concert. When I did, I hurried to grab her card. She told me I could wait and use Barry's high speed. I told her that the tickets were going to sell out.
Buuuut.
The tickets had already sold out.
I was on the phone with Allen as I discovered this, and lamely said "I gotta go.. talk to mom" so I could hurry to hang up. Then I cried like a big loser baby. I called Kie hoping that she'd cheer me up, still sobbing uncontrollably. She was like "Here, I'll let Shinyoung talk to you." ... So I hung up as fast as possible, because no. I do not want to be crying about something stupid the first time I talk to Kie's adorable Korean friend.
I felt like such a loser. Like. "Kristi. It's not a big deal. It's a tard concert." Then I justified myself by realizing that since William died, I've clung onto J-Pop and K-Pop like a life support because it's one of the only things I had that didn't constantly remind me of him, so of course I was way overly emotionally attached to this obsession. But then I was like STILL no reason to cry over a concert. It's not like I'm not used to not seeing the bands I like live. And then I realized that was the problem. It's one of those super rare opportunities that I have to actually go out and do something I *REALLY* enjoy. I mean, I like getting out of the house just to go shopping. I work at home and never see my friends. I cry when Kie says that she can't come home afterall when I was expecting it. My life is that pathetic now, that I look so forward and put all my hopes into such little things.
And this further proves my point that it's best to be pessimistic. Because once again, I got my hopes all up and they were shattered. Kie can't come home this weekend, The Reckoning was completely unsatisfying, I'm not going to see Wonder Girls and 2PM, The first disc of my FTIsland boxset was so boring I haven't bothered to try the second, Kie doesn't rly want to go to Florida this summer, the family isn't going to the beach, I'm sick which is my least favorite thing to be, and the only thing I'm excited about for the next two months is buying presents for mom for Mother's Day and her birthday.
The more I try to make lemonade out of the lemons life keeps handing me, the more I get... cut up fingers and.. lemon juice in my eye... damnit.. :'(
When everything else sucks, good music is still good music.

Song from the awesome J-drama "1 Litre of Tears", which makes it very sad, and appropriate for this very sad post.
