Family Force 5 Christmas

A Christmas Day
see relatedChristmas already?
Went to a show with E and my sister last Sunday, a Christmas show, nonetheless. Weird!
But definitely fun! Love this band, crazy as they may be. What wasn't fun, though, was the drive back to corn town at 11:00 at night.... Now I gotta figure out who'll go see Smoking Popes with me on New Year's Eve!! Takers?

Another concert?!
As if seeing AFI didn't just make my YEAR, my friend texted me today saying that she's buying me a ticket to see Motion City Soundtrack with her on December 1st!!
Have I mentioned before how much I LOOOOOVE my friends?!

No amount of words or pictures can adequately sum up the awesome-ness of this weekend. NOTHING will ever compare to this, or even come close. This was THE best weekend of my life. I finally got to see the band I've been dying to see for 8 years, AFI. We've had tickets for months, and we waited outside for 4 1/2 hours, and it.was.amazing.
Waiting outside for 4 1/2 hours!
The Gallows....
Pull the top down, use your knees to drive.
I'll make it worth your while just let me taste the sky.
You pressed your mouth on mine and fed me a star.
Then said we can never truly know who we are.
I needed this night, so badly. Between all this shit my so-called friends have put me through, the shit of my classes, my grandpa passing away.... Finally there was a release for me. My roommate needed it, too. We had a chance to let everything go. Jump. Sing. Scream. Mosh pits are pretty painful places, if you've been in one, you'll know what I mean. They get pretty violent. But, we needed it. It was kind of a meditation for us. Now life seems to be a little more in place again. Stupid, I know, to get perspective from a concert, but hey, that's just me. These guys are absolutely amazing, and one of my biggest inspirations in life; they keep me going, and I finally got to see them.

Never Take Friendship Personal
By Anberlin
Paperthin Hymn
see relatedSelfishness
I don't even know where to begin. Suicide is so selfish, and it hurts the people who care about you so much. Last night, my grandpa committed suicide. I don't know how, and I do not want to know. All I do know, though, is how angry I am at him. There are no words to express the level of anger I've been feeling today.
It was all planned out. The Tuesday before Thanksgiving, my mom, sister, and I were going to drive to Arkansas to visit him for the holiday. His birthday was on October 20th, so I called him to wish him a happy birthday, and we talked about how we were going to come visit him. He asked if I had gotten any more tattoos, I said no. He said if I came down there with any more tattoos, he was gonna throw me in the lake. That was my grandpa, quite the jokester. But, he had more than his fair share of health problems. That comes with a lifetime of smoking and drinking, I suppose. So I knew that this trip to visit him would, more likely than not, be my last.
And he took that away from me, from my sister, from my mom.
And it hurts so bad that he would do something like that to us. So now what? How do I move on past this? How do I forgive him? How do I come to terms with this?
All these evenings bring solemn warnings
To remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight.
You never know what temporal days may bring,
So laugh, love, live free and sing when life is in discord.

All Hallow's EP
By A.F.I.
Halloween
see relatedThe Cost of Halloween
2 handles of Gordon's Vodka: $30
1 bottle of Jose Cuervo Gold: $20
Margarita Mix: $10
Other Mixers: $10
40 Red Plastic Cups: $4
Cat Ears/Tail/Make-up: $15
Whip: $10
Walking through the sliding screen door: $150 fine
Finding out that Ernie from Sesame Street can fix the screen door: Priceless Talk about an eventful 2 days. And somehow, both of them ended with TONS of random people partying at our place! But I guess that's for the better, that way we don't have to try to find our way home at the end of the night. Friday was pretty funny, we were the "Morning After Whores". My roommate had just walked in from the balcony, and decided to go back out, so she turned around and walked straight into the screen door! Her foot went right through it before the entire door just fell completely forward. Now, not only does out screen door have a huge hole in it, but it's stuck on the track and refuses to budge. So how funny that, on Saturday [when we were "Sex Kittens"], this guy dressed as Ernie starts talking to my roomie and telling her how he works for the management that owns these apartments. She told him about the door, and he said he'd fix it for us!
