2 days of uh-mazing

ive just had two days of a kicken ass time. let me tell you about it..

DAY ONE!
i woke up around 12ish. not cool because i went to bed around 3, possibly 4.
called Courtney, text Andjew and Sparkles. waited for them to get to the house. Courtney got to the house first. we hung out for a little bit. i ate soup. haha. then Andjew got there. we talked for a half hourish and then Courtney went to go make my moms shirt while i started on Andjews hair.
wow. that kid has the thickest and curliest hair everr. it took me 2 and a half hours to straighten his hair. the whole time Court and i were lusting over his hair because its better then ours. we were totally jealous. once i was done with his hair he left to go change while i went to take a quick shower.
it was so hectic after that. we found out Courts mom couldnt take Andjew, Franco, and Sparkles. we were bummed. so i frantically called Sarah asking her if she could give them a ride. she needed gas money so i had to give her my 10 bucks that was supposed to buy Honor Brights new cd.. i was sad. we were running so late.
oh.em.gee. so we finally got in the cars and we were on our way to the show.
we got to the show and stood in a line/outside foreverr! we had to wait for Brandon aka Waffles to get there.
once everyone was there we payed and got in.

let me tell you, The Lost Horizen is now one of my top favorite venues. its just a really cool atmosphere. theres a mosh pit and couchs, and a pool table. very cool.

i met Kristen from PA and Christina from Utica. pretty chill people.
the first band that played was Take Aim. wicked good band. wicked cute lead singer. his name is Noah. hes pretty awesome. i wound up sitting down throughout the whole of the night because i was seriously ill. my stomach was doing flips whenever i stood up.
the second band was Museums. i had to stand up for them because before anybody played we were their groupies. literally. i seen they had buttons so i turned into a button freak.. so did everyone else. so we all bought buttons and we all had our posters signed. they are uhmazing. im kind of in love with all of them. during their set the bassits bandana randomly hit me in the arm. it was funny. i was also had a crotch in my face for the whole show. it was pretty sweet.
the third band to play was Awesomer. i was pumped to hear their music because of their name. i mean come on.. AWESOMEr! haha. but i was extremely disappointed. they sucked. they need a new name, quick.
the forth band was HONOR BRIGHT! i was sort of pissed because it's their cd release show so they should have played last. but i guess it was origanally Grey Tides show but they jumped on. whatev. before they played i went up and gave Geoff a hug and talked for a minute with him because i havent seen him in forEVER! finally Honor Brights set started. Walter was sort of stoked because he'd never been to a show before and i mean, its Honor Bright. come on now. their set didnt disappoint. as usual. Walter got wicked into it and txt me in the middle of the show saying he cant wait until their next show! haha. i got him addicted.
they played..
Roads? Where Im Going I Dont Need Roads
Take My Hand
Home Is A Heartache
Only You
Let Your Fist Do The Talking
Kansas City Shuffle
Side Effects May Include Heartbrake and Self Loathing
Bull In A China Shop
i think that was it.. there might have been another that im forgetting. needless to say it was amazing.
after them was Grey Tide. their arrogent assholes and their music sucks so we all bailed and went and talked to Honor Bright. everyone that got there cd had them sign it. i was sad because i didnt get one. oh well. Liam and i talked for a half hour about random things. he asked me if i would take his two bunnies Boston and Chicago. i told him id let him know the next day. we then hung out on some couches.
Christina was in love with Walter and basically wanted to rape him. ohemgee. so funny.
after Grey Tides set we all went up and talked to the guys for a few more minutes before we had to leave..
heres a few stories..

-Timmy walked up to Ryan and whispered in his hear loudly "Where are the fucking cookies you asshole!?" it was histarical.

-Waffles wouldnt shut up about how hot Noah the lead singer of Take Aim was. he wants him.

-Liam almost hit his head on the beam when he jumped up on the platform. before they played he asked if we would catch him and the answer was no. we werent lying!

-Ryan told me that Curt lives in a basement now while he lives in a palace with Ricky. poor Curt =[

-while Take Aim was playing they called Ryan up to sing with them. they did a song from I Am The Avalanche. Ry did amazing!! i was so shocked!

-while we were outside waiting for my mom to get there, Christina offered us mini cupcakes with purple frosting and mine fell on the ground. i ate it anyways.

-we wanted to bring Walter to Paradise Found Gentlemens Club for this birthday, but he wouldnt have been able to get in. we decided to bring a stripper out. we never did though..

i think thats it. i most likely forgot some stuff but its been a few days..
my mom finally showed up so we all piled in and dropped everyone off. Christina and Kristen followed us because they offered to bring us to the Aurburn show the next day. which is what ill talk about now..


DAY TWO!
we got to Utica around 3am. we stopped at a McDonalds so Christina, Court, and i could get some food in us. that was one thing ill never forget. we almost died. we were in the line waiting when two cars pulled up at opposite sides. we heard them arguing over who needed to pull around. then a white guy from one of the cars got out and ran to pee somewhere. when he was running back, Christina rolled down her window and said "look at him run!" he turned, smiled, and waved. we could NOT stop laughing. they started blasting rap so we blasted some Honor Bright. Christina got out and did this little booty/shimmy/harlme shakey thing and then jumped in the car. we turned around laughing to see the white guy wave! i kept telling Christina do bring him a cupcake because he apparently wanted hers! haha.
then the black girls in the other car started yelling "why the fuck are you laughing? shut the fuck up! aint nothing funny!" Court and i got scared. they were getting annoying though. we couldnt help if McDonalds was being slow. whatever. then they said something like "the dalmation looks like a troll!"
WHAT THE FUCK!?
talk about confusing.
we finally got our food and drove to Christinas dorm at Utica College. i cant wait for college now. it seems soo fun! because it was summer she was staying in Tower Hall. the dorms are pretty nifty. i cant wait to stay in one. at around 4 we finally went to bed. i slept on a mattress on the floor and Court spooned with Christina in her bed.
can someone say awkward!!??

the next morning we all woke up at around ten. Christina went to Dunkin Donuts with her friend Amanda to get bagels for us and Walmart to get cereal for Kristen. we were supposed to be on the road around twelve but we were running wicked late so we didnt leave until one. we made it to Auburn around 2:30.
once we got there we went in and said hi to all the guys. i walked up to Hussain because we've never really met and said "hey im irene!" and he gave me the biggest hug. it was amazing. after hugging everyone, i was walking over towards Hussain when he gave me this really offended look and pointed to my shirt which said 'peace love % HB' i told him i didnt have another shirt and he looked at the back of it and said "nothing there either, how rude!" so i told him to get a marker. he went and got a black and blue one. Kristen gave him a red one. he started drawing when Ricky walked up and gave me a hug. he got curious as to what Hussain was doing so he walked around and Hussain asked him to join because hes an artist. while they were drawing i was getting worried they were drawing naughty stuff so i had Court check. they werent. but then i heard Ricky say "i cant color in the lines!!" witch is funy because hes a tattoo artist! anyways this was the result..



Kristen took a video of it i guess. it was pure heaven!!
i found Zak and his mom. i love his mom, i guess shes my mom now too! haha. she gave me a hug and we talked. Zaks cousin Sarah was also there. shes a cool little chick.
Grey Tide played first, ew!
Take Aim was second, awesome!
Heroes in Headphones was third, steller!
E for Explosion was forth, ew!
The Doppler Effect was fifth, ohemgee!
Honor Bright was last, amazing!

we just hung out for awhile waiting for The Doppler Effect and Honor Bright to play. during most of the sets we were hanging out at the bar drinking water. well all of a sudden some guy that was drinking a beer started talking to me i. i cant remember what he was saying at first but i found out he was in Heroes in Headphones. i felt bad for missing their set. but when we first started talking i was kind of being an asshole because he was downing my straightedge and honor bright tattoo and downing the face taht i was wearing an Honor Bright shirt. but he turned out to be a pretty cool guy. his name is Mike and he plays guitar for HIH. Christina walked up and we were talking about abortion, god, straightedge, tattoos, music in general, being bi, and his ability to shoot his load 13ft. gross i know! at one point he got me and Christina to kiss. and yes it was my first kiss ever. so i have a pretty interesting story when it comes to that. haha.
he made me buy their cd. i was kind of worried because i hadnt heard their music and i was afraid of wasting 10 bucks but turns out their really really good.
The Doppler Effect finally came on. and boy did they bring it. they were amazing as usual. i knew all the words to all the songs and i danced and sang my little heart out. seeing Ricky play with them for the first time was amazing. he looked so much more comfortable with TDE then he ever did with HS. i am still going to miss HS though. Hussain and Mike were big on sweating. and if you didnt sweat during their set, you suck big time. im pretty sure we were all drowning in out sweat. it was gross. but amazing.
heres a Hussain pit stain for ya..



sexy right? =D
after TDE played it was Honor Brights turn. again they did not disappoint. they played the same songs as the night before. it was pretty sweet. i was getting pissed off though because someone had the bright idea to buy inflatable balls so we could bounce them to each other while HB was playing. but people didnt have the right idea, they wanted to chuck it at people. it hit me in the face a million times. i wanted to pop each and everyone of them. but i got over it so i could enjoy HB. the last song they played Liam told us to rush him so we did =P
we were all literally in the back corner with Curt. it was a good time. all the guys were still playing their instruments which i thought was amazing because i couldnt move. Sean [Shawn?] the merch guy for HB did like 20459725823405 pile ons. Tom from TDE did some as well. and at the end Ryan just put down his guitar and did the same! it was amazing!
after they played i found out Christina got hurt. her belly button ring ripped her belly button open a little. ew.
after we left we went out into the parking lot to wait for the guys so we could all chill.
here are some stories..

-when we were walking out we saw Mike from TDE and i was like "ew its Mike!" he got uber offended [just playing around though!] it was hilarious.

-when we were sitting outside i realized my leg was bleeding. i had Ry sign it!

-we went around and got pictures with everyone! im trying to upload them on my myspace right now!

-Tom and Ryan did family portrait pictures with different faces.. confused, sad, happy!

-Ryan tried raping Tom but when we went to catch it on camera he stopped. this was before the family portrait pictures.

-i told Hussain he looked like Pinocchio [from Superbad] and Tom kept saying that he wasnt a real boy.

-i got one of Justins drum sticks!

-we forced 3 cameras in Rickys face to do the "dylan do you have the lawn chairs?" bit.. he pranked Amanda. he also wore pink shutter shades. hawtness.

-i saw Ryan change his shirt and boy is he WHITE!

-Hussain put on an orange bandana and cop shades, he looked like a hippie! he looked hawt!



i think i got it all. oh well if i didnt. after hanging out for about an hour we all left because the bands were hungry and we needed to get home.
it was literally two of the best days ever! i now have about 11 new brothers and 5 new sisters. and i love them with all my heart!










okay well thanks to Court for letting me use her computer to post this REALLY long blog!
