Its testing the strong ones, scarring the beautiful ones.

So these past few weeks have been crazy. Turns out I'm staying in town for another week. Which is nice.
I went to see Fall Out Boy/50 Cent/All Time Low/Cobra Starship/Hey Monday on April 24th and that was amazing. I can't believe I actually got the opportunity to see 50 Cent. Most of my 8th grade year was spent listening to him. So to actually see him live was amazing.
Then the next day was Copeland/This Providence/Paper Route/Brooke Waggoner in Raleigh. The venue wasn't that great. It was tiny, crowded, and hot. I probably won't go back there again unless I absolutely have to. My friend and me ended up breaking down after the show and got stuck at the venue until about 5am before we could get to a hotel. I had twittered all the guys on the tour asking for help, hoping they would see it that night. But only the guys in Copeland read it the next morning, when it was too late. I had a chance to talk to Aaron Marsh at that show and I definitely fangirled out in front of him. And stuttered, and I was just very awkward. We got stuck in Raleigh the next day too because it was a Sunday and my friends car couldn't be fixed. On Monday we finally were able to get home.
Then on Tuesday was Copeland/This Providence/Paper Route/Brooke Waggoner in Greensboro. I ended up getting barricade again. All the bands had amazing sets. And I ended up being directly next to Aaron's piano this time. I was maybe only 5 feet away from him. And their set was just amazing, the way he looks at you while he's singing <3. After the set he surprised me by reaching down and shaking my hand, he said something but I couldn't hear him. We hung out after the show with the guys and told Andy and David(This Providence) that I was moving in a few days and they might not see me anytime soon. David said not to say that and he knows he'll be seeing me soon. Then I was talking to Chad Howat(Paper Route) and having him sign their new cd, I couldn't get the packaging off, and Andy walked by and helped us get it off. And he talked with us some more for a little bit, and I nearly died because of that. Then Chad took my cd to have the drummer sign, and left me there with Andy. At that point Aaron Marsh had walked to the back of the room near where I was. I saw him and just smiled and he actually walked up to me and started talking to me. I told him I was the girl who got stuck in Raleigh. We talked for a while, and he somehow knew my name, which I don't remember telling him, even in Raleigh. So I was really surprised. I managed not to fangirl until after I walked away, but he walked behind me right when I did freak out, so I think he still heard me, haha. Overall, I'm really happy with how things turned out.

I should've known it from the start..

I've been neglecting you dear blog, and for that I am sorry. I've been paying waaaay too much attention to my tumblr.
My trip went fantastic, way better than I could have expected.
And I have fallen head over heels for a band, more-so than I could ever have imagined. I can finally answer that dreaded question of what my favorite band is. And the answer to that question, my friend, is Copeland. They completely wooed me when I saw them live. I loved the intimate feel of the crowd. And I probably got the best spot in the entire club. Directly in front of Mr. Marsh when he would play on his piano. I can't wait to see him again in ten days. Just ten days away. A lot more happened at the shows, but that's what stands out to me the most. And what I feel is most important to tell you.
Spring is finally here. And summer is just around the corner. I can't wait to wear my summer dresses.
Oh, and I'm moving in 14 days. So soon, I know. Wow, thats actually exactly 2 weeks away. I'm moving out to Tennessee. Just between Memphis and Nashville.
Starting a new chapter of my life. Just waiting to be written.

I'm pacing, impatient.

Four days. Four days until I can get out. I haven't left my house since March 3rd. It's March 27th now. I think I'm going crazy.
To make matters worst, our apartment management found out about our cats. I assume my new neighbors ratted us out. I really don't like them. So now we have to get rid of them. I have friends watching my two cats and I'm giving my rabbit away to another friend. It's going to be so lonely here without them. And my mother told me she's going to put my grandma in a nursing home and head to Missouri at the end of April. And leave me here alone for a few months. So I can get a job and work and save up money to hopefully move out and leave when they do move to Missouri. But it's going to be so weird to be here alone.
But in four days I'm heading to Tennessee to see some bands. And I couldn't be more excited. I'll be gone for about four days with two best friends, what more could I ask for?
Also, I'm a little worried. My leg has gotten worst within the last week. It keeps cramping up in the calf muscle. But the thing is I haven't been doing a lot of walking. So it makes absolutely no sense as to why it's doing that. I ordered a pair of new shoes to wear while I'm gone. See if that helps at all.
I have a feeling I won't update again until after I get back. But check my tumblr. I should be posting tons of pictures. And expect videos. We're planning on making fun videos of our trip.

You can't trust everyone you meet.

I don't know why, but I really haven't felt like keeping this thing up to date. And it's not like I don't have time, because I do. I guess it's because I just haven't felt inspired. And I've been feeling kind of down lately. Not really for any specific reason. They're just multiple little reasons that get me down that day.
I'm really missing Florida as of late. Mainly just the weather. I miss the heat and the humidity and the thunderstorms. Nothing like a Florida thunderstorm. And I miss the spanish moss hanging from the trees and the sounds of cicadas chirping. I miss the music scene in Florida, so much better than the one here. There's barely even a local scene.
On the bright side, April is going to be a VERY busy month for me. I'm going to a total of six concerts. Traveling to Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina. It's worth it though.
And I'm getting my license this month. What a scary thought.

One day, come over to my place.

So I think my friend and me are going a bit crazy. We're planning on going to five shows on the next This Providence tour with Copeland. Granted I am absolutely in love with Copeland and have yet to see them live, so that makes it okay. I think the guys will be pleasantly surprised to see us. I just hope I don't have to deal with the crew because after Atlanta they have lost all respect from me. I just hope they keep Jake on this next tour because I was starting to get used to him and like him. He was fun to talk to.
Also, I'm seriously considering going vegetarian like someone suggested to me. My little lean mean meat fat reducing machine thing isn't working anymore. It's kind of sad.
And I can't go to my senior year prom because the local high school won't allow people to bring the same sex. And the only guy I know that still goes there won't take me. But whatever. It happens. I've already been twice, freshman and sophomore year. On the same night of the local prom is when TProv is playing with Copeland up in the Carolinas so my friend and me are going to drive up there. And I'll wear a sundress in commemoration. And make someone dance with me during one of the sets. And just that in general will be better than any dance I've ever been to.
And people are finding out about my friends and mine excursions these past two weeks and adding us on myspace? Give me a minute to laugh because I find this hilarious. I might have to find a way to protect my blog and only allow certain people to read it. And there's one person who will definitely be on that list because she's cool and reads and comments all my blogs.

I don't have the strength to stay away.

So I'm really glad I had the chance to drive down to Atlanta just to see them again. It was completely worth it. Plus I got to get away from the miserable snow that had fallen up here. And I fixed things with the person I needed to the most. Except there wasn't really much to fix. I'm going to just guess it was a bad misunderstanding.
And I have my regular after concert blues. These are the most miserable thing ever. I just want to curl up under my blanket and sleep away March. I'm going to miss the driving around the most.
Oh well, I just have to wait until April. Then I'll take over the southeast again.

I can't get you out of my head.

So I'm going to Atlanta to see my boys one last time on this tour. It kind of saddens me to be honest. But I'm glad I've gotten the opportunity to go again. Going to four dates is more than enough. But I'm still going to miss them after. But I just found out I'm seeing all of them (except Ludo) in one week in April. Since The Morning Light and Sing It Loud are touring together and This Providence is touring with Copeland. And both tours are hitting up the Carolinas on the same week. So that works out perfectly.
And I kind of feel guilty about calling someone a disappointment. So I take all that back. Why do I have to be so nice about things? Haha.
But after this I really do want to tour manage bands. I know I have to start out with merch but I think I can do it. I don't mind the traveling in the least. I actually love it. The only thing is I have to make sure I eat/drink enough. Because I definitely got dehydrated today since I haven't been drinking a lot. And I haven't been eating enough to the point of where I'm about to pass out.
Oh well though. Three more days til I see my boys again!
