Make it Rain

It's less than 5 minutes left in my 20th birthday and by the time this is actually posted it'll be technically over.

This was a pretty rad b-day. It's still weird to think I'm two Decades old and no longer a teenager. I kinda don't feel like it. I went to North Carolina to visit the grandparents for the weekend. It's always nice going up there. When I'm old I want a home like theirs. Everything just seems so perfect. And I never have a care in the world when I'm up there. Maybe it's something in the mountain air. But everything just feels right when I'm there. I didn't realize how much I missed Nana and Grandpa. I should call them more often.

My family/friends know me so well. For my b-day my Nana got me 3 scarf & gloves sets in burgundy, green, and grey, a pair of black and grey socks from LONDON!, a huge laptop carrying bag which can also double as a purse, and a bunch of lotions/body wash items. Candace got me the Mark Ronson cd...I loveee him. And Ashley got me the new Robert Plant(!!!) & Allison Krauss cd & the new Substream with Mayday Parade on the cover(ATL is on the other side).

Now, on to more important things...The Audition! The cd comes out tomorrow(technically today) and although I burned a copy from Ashley only so I could listen to it on the way to NC and back, I cannot wait to get the actual cd!!! It seems like it's taken forever, but finally it's here. We're getting it after Union. Then we're going to The Grit for more b-day celebrating.

The show on Thursday was fucking incredible!!! I hyped it up so much in my mind that I was kinda worried that I might end up being disappointed. But then I realized that this was The Audition I was talking about and there was no way I could be. They sounded so good and put on an amazing show. Any doubt I could have ever had about this band(I had none) would have been shattered by their set. And as Veronica and I declared the whole night, it was SEX! lol. The only thing I wish was changed was the length of the set. I wish it could've been longer. But then again I could watch them play all night.

As usual we stayed around afterward and talked to the bands(contrary to how it may seem from this post, there were other bands that played...Another Day Late, Danger Radio, and Envy on the Coast...they we're all fucking amazing! Especially EOTC and Danger Radio!) I always feel the need to express my extreme gratitude to the bands and just let them know that I enjoyed the show. I'm sure they hear it every night, so I always try to have actual conversations with them. They usually seem to enjoy them. Or they're really good at putting up a front lol.

Anyway, so I was mainly focused on talking to The Audition boys...well mostly Seth because I heard he was super nice and I had met the other guys the last time we saw them, but not him. We talked for about 5 minutes, and like they said, he was really nice. I really enjoyed our conversation. Joe and Tim were funny as hell. But especially Joe because he was drunk. Ryan was really nice too and you can tell that he really cares about the fans and their opinions. And I love that about him. Surprisingly I didn't really talk to Danny. While the rest of the girls were talking to him I was talking to Seth. I did get him to sign my set list and I got a picture...which was wonderful of course lol.

I wish these guys and all bands that I ever talk to knew how grateful I am that they would take the time out to talk to me or sign something or take a picture. When it comes to most bands I'm pretty comfortable talking to them, but there are a few that I still get extremely nervous around. I would put The Audition in the "pretty comfortable" category. They're such wonderful dudes.

Ugh...I need to go to bed. I have a French test tomorrow that I need to finish studying for. My class isn't until 2pm but I've got to go to the bank and deal with this tuition crap in the morning. After that, my British Lit class, and our Union meeting, it's CHAMPION time!!!!!

I can’t believe this is happening to me,
Hey, make it rain,
Flood the streets, if only for today.
Hey, make it rain,
I need you, I want you all,
I just can’t help it, baby this is all we got tonight,
Hey, make it rain, yeah...
