day 3.. oh my god.
soooo i had school, which sucked, and on fridays i have voice lessons, so i got home at around 4, and i put on my costume and got makeup and hair and everything and that took like an hour and a half. :[. so i left around 5, and got there at 5:45 ish. i got into line with Emily and Jacquline, that was cool. ha, as i said yesterday, i was dressed up as Norma Jean, or Marilyn Monreo, the early years, before she changed her name. we got let in at 6, exactly, and i got front row, again. ha, this is a habit that i really enjoy. (: kay, so phil bensen was up first. it was amazing, i was SOOOO glad he came to michigan, this was his first show here, ever, so that was really cool to be at it as well. he played only like four songs or so, so that kinda sucked. but yea. he was really amazing, and i really want to see him again. i've been a fan of him for about 2 years now. as he was playing whiv was setting up for going up second. like five minutes after phil finished what happened in vegas went on. they played 2 songs, and then they were told they had to be done to fit in everyone else, which really sucked. so they played their third song acousticly, and then got off. after that it was the love willows. i wasn't to fond of them, so alix and i left the area. (i left my purse on the stage, so that i could get my spot back later.) we went over and talked to the boys of vegas. first billy. just randomly., i dont really even remember what it was about, just like, the concert. haha. second aaron. he asked me when we were going to find a day to record, and i had no idea, so i gave him my number and my dad's number, (i'll tell you guys more about this later.) and then alix took a picture and i took one. then we talked to ron. and the steve. billy was changing, sooo we didn't bug him. but we talked to his brother dylan. he's pretty cool. after a while we went to the other side of the back area and met phil bensen. he was SOOOO cool. it was my first time meeting him, but he was really nice, and really cool. we chatted about a bunch of stuff, and took a bunch of pictures. :) my dad's possibly booking him sometime, so i got the information for that kinda stuff. i bought some push play merch, so i could get a wrist band for meet and greet. thennnnnnnnn, i started hearing screams of excitement and realized push play was on stage. sooo i headed back over to the area, and about 3/4th of the way through the first song i tapped on the girls shoulders who had taken my spot and asked for it back, which they let me, suprisingly. hahaha. the concert was really great. they did so incredible. cj literally grabbed my hand about 50 times. like, not even overreating. hahah. it was cool. and i was in front of nick (i swear, every single push play show i'm in front of him.), he kept looking at me and smiling and then he held my hand for a little bit. cj was shirtless. it was amazing. he's so fucking skinny. ha. steve took off his shirt about halfway into it. they played all my favorites. it was amazing. i think it was like the song after umbrella, or maybe umbrella, and steve through his hat across the stage (he was like, slash or something.) and it landed like right next to my purse so i grabbed it and put it on for the rest of the song. after he came over to the side i was on and asked for it back, and half willingly i gave it to him, and then into the mic he said "you can have it back after the show." (: and like a bunch of people gave me like evil stares and this little girl next to me was like, oh my gosh your sooooooo lucky. :p ew die. hah. and pretty much yea, it was just fabolous, they ended with Away Away, as usual, and then before steve got off the stage he gave me his hat. =] (which i have on my head currently.) after they got off, the security guards were like, you HAVE to leave. sooo everyone went outside. and see me, i didnt have a coat, so i pretty much started to freeze. ha, me, alix, and a few others hung around what happened in vegas while the line for meet and greet for push play started to die down. then we ventured into the line. it was an extremely short meet and greet. but it was cute, cause the second cj/steve saw me they said "NORMA JEAN." ;) hahaha. it was cute. we took a group photo of steve, me, cj, alix, nick and derek, and then i gave 'em all hugs and we had to 'go.' so we went behind them a few yards. they finished up their meet and greet, and we found mr. phil bensen, who had promised us a mini acoustic show. so about 15 or so of us sat around while he played some songs. it was really cute. he played paper airplanes (which i asked for), i think it's called like 'Not this time LA' or something, and this other one called like 'love song' or something. it was really cute, he's only played it once in concert, so it was cool. =] then these stupid security guards wanted us to leave, sooo we took a few more photos then headed out.
ah, very good show, very cool stuff. kinda sad i didnt get to talk to the boys a whole lot, buttttt it was really nice. this week was hella fun, i'm so glad i went to the shows. :)
& nowww, another concert tomorrow. The Arrival, Lets Get It, and So Let Go! :) ahhh, i'm going concert crazy. :p

day 2.
of push play.
haaaa wow.
soooo i got to the venue at like 3:30. it was like two minutes away from my house. alexa, stephanie, joslynn, katie, mary, (german foriegn exchange student whom's name i totally forgot.), and two other people were already there. sooo i got in line. like five minutes later emily (q) and jacquline show up. and then alix comes, and she was 'with' me, sooo she came to where i was, emily and jacquline didnt care, cause we're all friends and stuff. ;) haha. as more people came we just chilled. a LOT of people i knew came. hahaha. seriously i knew almost everyone at the show. it was cool. there wasn't a whole lot, once again. around like 4:45ish, the boys arrived to the venue, and seeing as the back entrance was the only entrance they came through it. hah, as they were going inside i got hugs from all of them. steve stopped to talk to me and the people around me for a few, i commented on him wearing the same hoodie that he wore last time, and we talked about how guys shouldn't wear vests, even though him and cj were both wearing them at that moment... then he had to go inside. it was reallyyyyyy cold. but we waited outside during their soundcheck, which was amazingly easy to hear through the door. and at 5:55 PM (i looked at my phone when we were inside.) we finally got in. everyone decided to sit down, cause it's just the michigan-style to do it that way. we didn't have a lot wait, probably like ten minutes then i look over my shoulder to see cj, derek, nick, and steve stepping over people to get onto the stage. hahaha, they came right past me, i think cj gave me a high five? weirdo. hahah. then they started. the first song was starlight addiction. amazing. then mary said to steve that she print screened her itunes counts because he didnt believe her when she said she had 10,000+ plays on that song. hahah, cj read the top played songs, and it was funny. they played a couple more, and they talked a lot to us. cj kept like shocking his lips on the mircophone. honestly, i think he enjoyed it, seeing as he was pretty much EATING the mic. hahaha. they played Dreamers, oh my favorite. after i said it was my favorite and i have the most play counts on that on my itunes. and cj was like, does it come anywhere near 10,000? and i'm like, noo, i listen to it on the cd. ;) and he's like, touché. hahah. they talked about how when they went to (kentucky? i dunno southern states.), that every single restraunt they went into someone played sweet home alabama, and some old drunk dude in the back would always go YEA! when that person would start the first few chords. then they attempted to play it. it was amusing. haha, i had alix's camera and recorded it. it should be on my youtube later. and nick and derek kept looking at me and whispering. i have paranoia, soooo i feel like they were talking about me, butttt what else would they be talking about if they're looking at me, smiling and laughing and stuff. :p whatever. hopefully it was good stuff, then i dont really care. :) uhm, they played Heart Attack, which is gonig to be on their new cd, and it's pretty much my favorite. i love it. and they talked about how they're playing new songs tomorrow! exciting. i convinced them to play umbrella, and it was funny, cause again i had alix's camera and was recording cause it's like my favorite cover they do, and during the song cj stood up and he sang into the camera, then high fived it.... lameeeooooo. ;) hahaha. they played a few more, and they did that cool thingy from the commerical where it's trying to be sexy and it's like "bah da da da dahhhhh." ahaha, it was funny. then they ended with Away Away, and for that we all stood up. the concert was amazing. and then when they finished cj was like, welllll this is awkward, we stop playing and you all stop screaming. hahaha. :) it was cute. then steve and cj went downstairs for meet and greet stuff. and me and alix went to go buy some merch. i bought their cd, again. cause i'm lame. :p ha. and nick got the wrapper off for me, cause im phyiscally unable to do stuff like that. then we went to the end of the meet and greet line. after a while of playing around (sitting on their chairs on stage, and bribing little girls for guitar picks.), it was our turn. emily and jacquline were in front of us so they went, then alix went. i was paprazzi for her, then we switched roles. the moment i went down there steve put his arms out for a hug. it was cute. and then nick was like "LAURA JEAN!" and i was like, heyyyy ! haha. and cj was like, "it's NORMA Jean. duhhh." and im like, uhhh sure. haha. i got hugs from 'em all. nick was sitting down and i was like, are you gunna stand up for a real hug? and he's like, no. then he stood up and gave me one. haha. and then i got one from cj and he's like, i think i just drew on your hood. and i'm like, ahhh did you? and he's like yea, i did and im like, ahh no, and he's like, haha no i didn't. and i was like, so what should i be for hallowen, and cj's like, i think you should be norma jean, and i'm like ohkay, i'll be her, and steve was like, do you even know who she is, and i'm like, yea she's marilyn, and he's like marilyn monroe. and i was like, yep. haha. sooooo i know who i'm being for halloween now. :) and then i got a hug from derek. then we went to go take a picture, and it was really awkward cause i couldnt put my arm around steve, but he had his around me.... so that like kinda was weird. and then cj was like, i just drew in your hood. and i'm like stoooppp :[ hahah. and then i was like, this is the second copy of your cd i have. and they're like, wow haha that's cool. yea. then i left the meet and greet. and we were told to go outside, so we did. and about 10 minutes or so later the boys came out, and i took a photo with nick and got a even more of a real hug, and then i saw cj like shivering and i went over to him and i was like you look so cold and he's like i am, and pulled me into a hug. and then a bunch of people came over and were like cj can we take a photo and he's like, can you take group photos we gotta leave soon, so alix, me, sam and cj took a photo, then shanya and becca took one with him, and he gave everyone a hug again then gave me another one, haha then he went over to their cars. and instantly the people started like talking/freaking and i'm like wow, your cool. ahah. and they deff heard everything they said cause they were like 20 feet away by the cars. and then as they/we were leaving they honked their horn and waved goodbye through the car windows. hahaha, freaks.
it was a gooddddd day. better than yesterday even. :)
oh boy. i cant wait for tomorrow.

I am running out of words to say...
get ready for a LONG one.
1st (oct 17-19)- rally. it was way way to short. we headed out on friday around 9 am. the bus ride, sucked. way tooooo long. we got to the YMCA camp around six pm. i seriously freaked out. I hugged all my friends are screamed at the sight of them. my minnesota babies! :D it was amazing to be 'home.' i swear Y.O.U. Rallies are the most incredible place in the entire world. I put my stuff in Ducan Cabin. i swear i always get that at fall. then i just hung out with everyone till opening cerimony. then it was families. the family this time around didnt seem as close as usual. i dunno, it's probably cause im just so used to the longer time from june (five days instead of the like 1 and a half). anyways, families was cool. yeaaaaaaa blahh... saturday i had an emo-mazing day. pms-like-a-bitch-day. ;) yea. it wasn't so much fun. but i got a lot of love so that was good. i was also just so like stressed. but i talked to my yst, twitch, and it helped. :) he's good at that stuff. yeaaaaa that was during free time. uhm, i hardly ate anything while there. cause i hate the food. oh, and i forgot to bring sleeping stuff, so i got like 10 minutes of sleep that weekend. uhm, skipping around cause im tired.... the dance. it was halloween themed. me being the awesome person i am, and couldnt really think of anything did the 'over-kill costume' ;) yea. oooh and my friend Ian wore my purple jeans. ;) haha! it was funny. Matt asked me to dance for the 2nd slow song, so we did. it was nice. :) and then for the... fourth? or third, i dont remember, i danced with Twitch. that was nice too. :) uhm, i really hated stairways. :p eh. wasn't so amazing this time, sadly. ah well. it was really just to short. and i plan and WILL go to minnesota before june rally. because, i have to. i miss everyone from there so badly.
monday, oct 20. - challenge day - amazingly like rally, only at the school setting. we did a lot of "challenges." it was cool. there was a lot of hugging. there were 'familes' there too. in mine was Mr. Lafferty (my bio teacher), Lisa, Austin, and this freshmen and this junior. it was full of tears of sadness and happiness. that day was just depressing and tiring. i was honestly a wreck after rally and then all of that, it was major overkill. i cried about 20 times that day, literally. emo-tastical.
saturday, oct 25. - concert - so i was originally going to go to a different show, but i changed plans like literally last second because my friends Jordan and Nancy needed a ride. I went to see Cash Cash, The White Tie Affair, Tyga, and Metro Station. cash cash and the white tie affair did really good. we missed part of cash cash, cause we got there late, but whatevs. we joined the mosh pit during the white tie affair, and after they finished their lead singer threw his towel into the audience, causing an imdiate cat-fight. oh, terrible. there was punching, and dragging of peoples, and pushing, and shoving, and pulling and everything. and groping up on each other and fdksfjsld;k! ew. it wasn't the best. these like 10 year olds were screaming "save room for jesus." it was hella 'nooying. i wanted to smack them and say GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, YOUR TOO YOUNG. i didn't though. after a while it just got rediculus, and nancy, jordan and me went upstairs (it was at clutch cargo's.) tyga really wasn't that good. i'm not to big on rap, sooo, it just didn't really interest me. i sat in a couch on the upper place for a while. the Metro station entered the stage. they did fantastic. i realllyyyy enjoyed their performance. they're really good musicians. they sang some real good songs, dear hannah, 17 forever, shake it, california, and a few others, im not to familiar with (i dont own their cd, sadly. :[.) afterwards, jordan, nancy, and i met the bands. all of them. they were all real nice. (: i got pictures with just about everyone but mason and trace, cause we just barely met them. :p ha. good show.
nowwwwww, this week is going to be crazy.
today i'm going to see high school musical 3. i've been told it's really good and there's a lot of tears, soo yea.
tomorrow i have push play at somerset.
thursday it's push play in rochester.
friday it's phil bensen, what happened in vegas, and push play at the eagle theatre.
saturday it's lets get it, the arrival, and so let go.
hah, i'll fill you in on those, later.
fingers crossed i don't die of sleep exhustion.

1st (oct 17-19)- rally. it was way way to short. we headed out on friday around 9 am. the bus ride, sucked. way tooooo long. we got to the YMCA camp around six pm. i seriously freaked out. I hugged all my friends are screamed at the sight of them. my minnesota babies! :D it was amazing to be 'home.' i swear Y.O.U. Rallies are the most incredible place in the entire world. I put my stuff in Ducan Cabin. i swear i always get that at fall. then i just hung out with everyone till opening cerimony. then it was families. the family this time around didnt seem as close as usual. i dunno, it's probably cause im just so used to the longer time from june (five days instead of the like 1 and a half). anyways, families was cool. yeaaaaaaa blahh... saturday i had an emo-mazing day. pms-like-a-bitch-day. ;) yea. it wasn't so much fun. but i got a lot of love so that was good. i was also just so like stressed. but i talked to my yst, twitch, and it helped. :) he's good at that stuff. yeaaaaa that was during free time. uhm, i hardly ate anything while there. cause i hate the food. oh, and i forgot to bring sleeping stuff, so i got like 10 minutes of sleep that weekend. uhm, skipping around cause im tired.... the dance. it was halloween themed. me being the awesome person i am, and couldnt really think of anything did the 'over-kill costume' ;) yea. oooh and my friend Ian wore my purple jeans. ;) haha! it was funny. Matt asked me to dance for the 2nd slow song, so we did. it was nice. :) and then for the... fourth? or third, i dont remember, i danced with Twitch. that was nice too. :) uhm, i really hated stairways. :p eh. wasn't so amazing this time, sadly. ah well. it was really just to short. and i plan and WILL go to minnesota before june rally. because, i have to. i miss everyone from there so badly.
monday, oct 20. - challenge day - amazingly like rally, only at the school setting. we did a lot of "challenges." it was cool. there was a lot of hugging. there were 'familes' there too. in mine was Mr. Lafferty (my bio teacher), Lisa, Austin, and this freshmen and this junior. it was full of tears of sadness and happiness. that day was just depressing and tiring. i was honestly a wreck after rally and then all of that, it was major overkill. i cried about 20 times that day, literally. emo-tastical.
saturday, oct 25. - concert - so i was originally going to go to a different show, but i changed plans like literally last second because my friends Jordan and Nancy needed a ride. I went to see Cash Cash, The White Tie Affair, Tyga, and Metro Station. cash cash and the white tie affair did really good. we missed part of cash cash, cause we got there late, but whatevs. we joined the mosh pit during the white tie affair, and after they finished their lead singer threw his towel into the audience, causing an imdiate cat-fight. oh, terrible. there was punching, and dragging of peoples, and pushing, and shoving, and pulling and everything. and groping up on each other and fdksfjsld;k! ew. it wasn't the best. these like 10 year olds were screaming "save room for jesus." it was hella 'nooying. i wanted to smack them and say GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, YOUR TOO YOUNG. i didn't though. after a while it just got rediculus, and nancy, jordan and me went upstairs (it was at clutch cargo's.) tyga really wasn't that good. i'm not to big on rap, sooo, it just didn't really interest me. i sat in a couch on the upper place for a while. the Metro station entered the stage. they did fantastic. i realllyyyy enjoyed their performance. they're really good musicians. they sang some real good songs, dear hannah, 17 forever, shake it, california, and a few others, im not to familiar with (i dont own their cd, sadly. :[.) afterwards, jordan, nancy, and i met the bands. all of them. they were all real nice. (: i got pictures with just about everyone but mason and trace, cause we just barely met them. :p ha. good show.
nowwwwww, this week is going to be crazy.
today i'm going to see high school musical 3. i've been told it's really good and there's a lot of tears, soo yea.
tomorrow i have push play at somerset.
thursday it's push play in rochester.
friday it's phil bensen, what happened in vegas, and push play at the eagle theatre.
saturday it's lets get it, the arrival, and so let go.
hah, i'll fill you in on those, later.
fingers crossed i don't die of sleep exhustion.
on top of all of those shows, i have an oral history project in english due on halloween. joyyy.

Whoa Oh Whoa Oh, why do I put myself in these situations?
Yesterday was great. (:
Started off reallyyyyyyy slow, and I had way to much homework, but Around 5:30 Alix, me and her mom left for the Concert. the car ride was nothing special, but when we got to the venue it was crazy how many people were in line. There had to be at least 850+ people outside by the time we got there. We didn't really have to wait in line, they started letting people go in before we got there, so we just hopped into line. once we got inside I bought two shirts (one for me, one for Emily Q). The concert was going to start soon so we got as somewhere near-ish. probably like 10-13 rows of people were in front of us. First off was Sing It Loud. That's the band Alix and I really came for. They did really good! It was amazing, and they're awesome live. Second Up was Hit The Lights. I've never really listened to their music prior, but they did pretty good. During their set, Alix's mom texted her and said that one of the members from Sing It Loud was signing autographs and stuff, so we left our place, which by that point was about 6-8 row, to go see who it was. It turned out to be nate, their bassist. he was really sweet! we took a bunch of pictures and got a couple autographs. it was cool, he was really sweet. then we went back to the concert part. A little bit later, Forever the Sickest Kids was up. They did reallyyyyyyy good! their second song they played was Whoa Oh, which is like one of my FAVORITE songs so it was good to hear it, at the same time, another member of Sing It Loud came out so we went to see who it was. This tim e it was Ben, their keyboardist. He was pretty awesome, we took photos and he signed our stuff then we went back to the crowd. By this time we were probably like in 'row' twenty. :p hahhaa. We watched the rest of Forever the Sickest Kids set then went back over to Alix's mom to just calm down for a bit, Cobra wasn't going to be on for about half an hour. So I'm just standing there and I'm watching some people leaving and stuff, and I see a "To Write Love On Her Arms" shirt. and I was about to shout to the person wearing it, "hey I like your shirt." and then I look up and I see Nick. So I kinda like freak and stand like directly infront of him and he looks up and goes "HEY!" hah. it was funny. Nick, Steve, and Billy (3/5th of What Happened In Vegas [they weren't performing tonight]) were there. I gave 'em all hugs and said hey, and Alix went totally silent, cause she loves them. And I introduced her to them and took a photo of them and stuff and it was cool. Nick asked me if I was going to the Halloween Party and I said yea, and Steve asked me if I had been crowd surfing, haha I said no, sadly. (he had been.) ;) Then they went outside or something. And me and Alix had to go to the bathroom so we did. hahah. So we came out and this time we went into the middle area of the venue. It was like a cooler angle for viewing. And then we saw Billy again and he was standing near us. and we saw Nate (from Sing it Loud) again. Finally Cobra Starship went on. They did really good. They swore a lot, hahaha, Alix wasn't a fan of that, neither was her mom. It was kinda funny. We jumped and stuff, and they played a bunch of good songs and stuff. And then we had to go, cause it was getting pretty late. (Cobra was still playing, but it was like 10:30 and I was sooo tired.) we told billy goodbye and headed out. As we were walking back to our car, we saw some of the guys from Forever The Sickest Kids by their bus. (there was a gate between us and them) and I asked one of them for a hug through the gate, which I did get. :) hahah. It was cool.
So now I'm really sore, and can barely talk without hurting my throat, butttttt whatever.
it was really fun. :] And I can't wait till the next concert I go to <33 =]

Did you take this for me or the home team?
Have you ever over heard people talking about you and they're like RIGHT next to you?
And they aren't talking about nice things either.
I can't stand that. Just fucking say it to my face if you have a problem with me. :/
To add to the reasons why I hate school.
To add to the reasons why I want to show everyone what I'm made of.
To add to the reasons why I don't make friends well.
oh goodness. I can NOT wait till this week is OVER.
four. more. days. till. RALLY.
I am honestly going crazy for it. <33333333333.

Lately..
I've been listening to a LOT of new-bands. or like less famous bands, or just music that I normally don't. for example, here's a small list.
-What Happened In Vegas.
- Never Scream Never.
- The Beatles.
- Owl City.
- So Let Go!
- Hellogoodbye.
- Metro Station.
etc, etc, etc. :)
and I've reallyyyyy been liking them. :] hahaha.
on a TOTALLY different note...
today was extremely scary. like legit. I was so scared.
I seriously was about 2 seconds away from a car crash. this stupid idiot car drove directly at my mom, with me, alix, and lee lee in the car too. Like they sped up too. And almost hit us. thank god my mom like ran the red light or I would probably either be dead cause it would have hit me head on or in the hospital. I was so terrified. I legit cried in the car for like 12 minutes. It really made me like think. Who will be the ones that care when I die? Who will cry? Who will miss me? It was so scary. And now I'm pretty like terrifed of cars. :p
-still livin,
Laura. <3

because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help...
Sooo, I've been working on getting more friends on my music myspace.
then I'll start putting music up there. I'm either going to the studio or
going to figure garageband out and record at home (I just don't know
how to convert the files to MP3 format :p).
today, I went on a requesting spree. like requesting legit as many people
as I could. Well, I got to the maximum limit myspace would let me.
hah. That was pretty "cool." I sent out about 1000 friend request though,
so it makes sense. :p
I'm feeling better since my last blog post, just so you know.
oh, and I'm not going to homecoming. I think I'm going to a what happened
in vegas concert the night of homecoming game, it's next week friday. I'm
still sorting that out.
if you aren't friends yet, do it now, and save me my 1000 for tomorrow. ;)
