Lots of stuff to write about....
September 20th was the Mariah Concert! Wow. She was so incredible. It was definitely the best concert I've been to, even though I was pretty far away from the stage. I had goosebumps the whole show. It was amazing when she sang "Can't Take That Away"....my favorite song ever! :) I really hope to meet her someday. It sounds dorky, but I really think her music changed my life, and I wish I could thank her for that somehow.
This weekend was really fun. I needed a 3 day weekend desperately after the insane amount of work and studying I had this week. Friday, Justin came over...as always it was awesome. It really does suck only getting to see him about 4 hours a week, but hopefully that will change soon. Saturday, I had the house to myself all day so I basically just slept in, relaxed, played guitar, and wrote some stuff. Then I went to get ice cream with Stacey in her new car!! I'm so excited for her! After that, I went to see Underworld with Tino and Scotty...awesome movie. Lots of action and a good soundtrack. When I got home, me and Stacey decided to go to Wal Mart to get a hair straightener. Apparently Wal Mart closes at 11 now?? What the hell. That's crap. It's supposed to be open 24 hours!!! Anyway, we went to Wawa to get some food and we saw Andrew! I hadn't talked to him in awhile, he's sucha sweetie. I was glad to see him. Sunday was Bill Cain day of course. After Bill Cain's, me and Sara went to the Howie Day concert! We got second row baby!! I was really excited to see Charlotte Martin...she was definitely amazing. I love her lyrics, and anything with piano is so pretty. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet them after the show like we were supposed to. It was kind of disappointing, but at least we got to see the whole show and I got some awesome pictures. I slept over Sara's afterwards and we watched some home movies! Haha I love watching them...they're so amusing. Sara had a HUGE head as a baby! hahaha. Oh boy. I'm surprised she wasn't constantly falling over because it had to have weighed her down quite a bit. No wonder I would cry everytime she hugged me! I was probably afraid of being knocked across the room with that thing. ....Okay enough making fun of Sara. I LOVE YOU SARA!!! And you've grown into your head now. :) Monday, I went home and basically did homework and relaxed because I had a busy weekend.
Tuesday, I went to the Michelle Branch concert!!!!! It was my third time seeing her and it was definitely the best of the 3! Me & Laurie got there to wait in line at 3:30 and the show didn't start until 8. I love general admission shows! We got front row, center...I also got set lists from Dakona, Pat Mcgee Band, and Michelle. I met Pat Mcgee after the show and got a picture with him. And I also met Michelle again...this time was actually really cool. They let us take pictures with her and it wasn't as rushed. I gave her my letter and put my email address at the bottom, but I highly doubt I'll get a reply. But I don't care, the important thing is that I feel better knowing that I said what I wanted to say to her. Another awesome thing about this show was that we met a lot of other fans and talked to them. I got some screen names and we're all going to send eachother pictures. Go here to see my pictures...

School started last week. Although my schedule is pretty good and I have classes with my friends, I can't say I'm happy to be back. I miss summer...plus I hate about 99% of Lenape High School. Everyone is fake, ignorant, and obnoxious. Mostly the girls. Maybe if they would stop worrying about how stylish their clothes are or which guy they're going to give random head to this weekend, then they'd have time to think about how other people feel and they'd stop being so stuck up. And maybe if they were really so concerned about how "fat" they are, they wouldn't be drinking 20 beers every weekend. Way to cut down on the calories, you fucking alcoholic.
Okay, enough of my bitching. I went to the Dashboard\Mxpx\Brand New\Remedy Session concert last Tuesday night. It was definitely awesome. Dashboard is one of the best live acts I've seen. It was just amazing...I didn't see a single person in the audience that didn't have their full attention on the stage. And almost everyone was singing every word with him. It was just...wow. I felt like I knew everyone around me just because we were singing the same words.
I'm going to see Mariah in 11 days! I'm really excited about that since she's been my favorite singer since I was about 8. Just about every song of hers reminds me of something that has happened in my life. She's been a huuuge inspiration to me. I can't wait!!! MICHELLE BRANCH OCTOBER 7TH!!!! I'm going to see her for the 3rd time. I'm so psyched. Concerts rule.
This weekend was really fun. The first weekend of the school year is always great though...definitely relieving. Justin came over Friday and that was great. I'm always happy to see him. Saturday I went to the shore for the night and the Gaskills came with us. Sunday, most of my dad's side of the family came down and we went to Atlantic City to see 3 Dog Night play on the beach since it was free. We didn't really pay attention...we just played in the water. We took some funny pictures and had a good time. I love my family! :)
Homework time.

I really need to start getting more sleep. I'm constantly exhausted...I guess I never fully recovered from mono. But oh well. I'll worry about that when school starts. Wednesday night, me & Meghan slept over Bill Cain's. We had pancakes for breakfast and they were orgasmicly scrumptious. Then Justin came over yesterday and he was here for like 10 hours. It was great...it seems like everytime I spend time with him I feel even closer to him. We watched The Beach. It's a great movie...potheads, blood, sex, and the F bomb every 3 minutes. Lots of funny stuff happened, but I won't go into detail.
Today I woke up and started packing for the shore...I'm leaving tomorrow and staying there for a week. It should be fun. We're going to see CCR in Atlantic City on the 22nd...awesome 70s band. I'm bringing my Sega so me and Brad can play some hardcore Streetfighter. I'm also going to bring my camera, sketchbook, and guitar. I love taking pictures at the shore...the sunsets are so pretty. Hopefully I'll learn a lot of songs this week. Justin fixed my guitar!! YAY!
I hung out with Stacey for a little bit today. That was fun, we always have a good time no matter what we're doing or where we are. I haven't been hanging out with her that much lately, probably because she works so damn much. I'm gonna go find something to do because I don't want to end up just sitting around doing nothing tonight.

Boredom has led me to making this thing. I already keep a real journal, but this one can be my fun and less personal one. It's been a pretty fun week. I slept over Sara's 2 nights in a row, went to Warped tour, hung out with Justin, went to the movies, and I finally went to the mall...I haven't been there in a realllly long time. It's scary now...looks like Halloween every night haha. Oh well, whatever floats your boat, melts your butter, bumps your benz, etc. Anyway, I've been hanging out with Sara a lot lately which is awesome because we weren't as close for awhile. Now she's off to Jesus Camp. I miss her. But I'm gonna write her an awesome letter that not even Larry Ibbetson can top! By the way, Pirates of the Carribean is a dead sexy movie and I recommend that you all go see it, NOW. Johnny Depp is sexy...but I still love Justin! For some reason I appreciate him 1,624,798 times more than I did a couple weeks ago...it was random. Oh well. It's definitely a good thing.
Warped Tour was Friday!! That was definitely an awesome experience I will never forget. I'm still sore from being in the mosh pits. We almost died in The Ataris pit, but it's all good. I'm A-OK. Anyway, I'd say my favorite band was Coheed and Cambria, closely followed by Dropkick Murphys. All in all it was an awesome day. AFI should have been there...I would have peed myself. I already can't wait until Warped next year! Check out my pictures: click it, bitch.
Yesterday was family wiffle ball. Adults vs. kids. The adults cheated as always...but the game is to be continued in a couple weeks. Old folks are going down. Justin came over tonight. We laid on the couch and watched Spongebob and then sort of watched Princess Diaries. It was a verrry good night. :)
Babysitting tomorrow...nighty night.
