One Of Those Nights

Why hello old friend. It's been quite a while since my last entry. Over a month actually. Well it's 6am and I had the bright idea of drinking a Vitamin water energy drink a few hours ago, and now I can't sleep. So here I am.

A lot has happened in the last month. I worked like hell. Honestly almost everyday it seemed. Those few days that I wasn't working were spent either sleeping the day away or at a show. It's weird actually, during the school semester it seemed like I was at a show every week, but now that it's summer, I haven't really been to that many.

June 17th- The Spill Canvas, Steel Train, Ludo, Liam and Me @ The Masquerade
June 24th- City Riots @ Tasty World
July 5th- Danger Radio, Ace Enders, Powerspace, CIWWAF @ The Masquerade
July 9th- Warped Tour: Atlanta @ HiFi Buys Amphitheater
July 14th- Warped Tour: Charlotte, NC @ Verizon Wireless Amphitheater

All those shows were AMAZING! I fell in love with Steel Train the night I saw them, and they're now one of my favorite bands. I still can't believe City Riots came and played in Athens. I love those boys and still appreciate the fact that they came and played here. And they were wonderful house guests lol. We were supposed to attend 2 other Danger Radio shows before the ATL one, but we ended up in a car accident on the way. Quite scary being as it was my and Ashley's first accident. Thank the Lord no one was hurt though. Well except Petey, Ashley's PT Cruiser. But the ATL show was still amazing!

The two Warped Tours we went to were a lot of fun. In Atlanta we worked with Girlz Garage and had the privilege of working with a wonderful woman named Michelle who's been on Warped for years and gives girls a great place to hang out and do fun things. I want to be like her when I'm older. Saw a ton of great bands as usual, but no new ones unfortunately. There was no time to just walk around and check out some of the smaller bands. In Charlotte we worked with the AP Magazine tent, which was also a lot of fun. We did signings with two of my favorite bands, Mayday Parade and The Academy Is. I didn't get to actually talk to any of them though. :( I just got to look at them lol. I'll definitely love to work with Girlz Garage and AP again next year.

Let's see, I experienced my first sort of "heartbreak" type thing. Basically I really liked a guy, attempted to see if I could at least make something happen out of it, ended up making a fool of myself(I think at least), then decided that nothing was ever going to come from this and that I should get over it/him and start living in the real world. That last part was a lot harder than expected.

But eh, it's all good. The right person is out there somewhere. I don't know who he is, where he is, or what he's doing, but when the time is right, we'll meet. And he better be ready, because I'm going to love him like nobody's business. Hope he can handle it lol.

Well it's 7am now and I've got work today so I'd better try for some sleep. <3

God is Love
Without love I am nothing
