Welcome to Fabulous~!

I was set. I had my 'hired bodyguard', the tickets pre-paid for, and a belly full of burger ready to face the night. We arrived an hour early, and lucky we did. We were able to get within 10 feet of the front row. I bought a t-shirt while my guard held our spots at bay from the growing crowd.

THE FIRST BAND WAS AN HOUR LATE.

But my patience was rewarded. After an amusing scottish singer wooed the crowd with his repretoire of obscure songs famous mainly in England, the stage went quite in anticipation. I refused to remove my eyes from the stage. I caught trepid glances of the singer and band because we were angled from the stage so that we could see past the curtains. I could recognize the back-up singers because of the copious youtube videos I'd watched in preperation.

THE ROOM WENT DARK.

AND THEN BRANDON FLOWERS CAME ON STAGE AND SANG HIS OPENING SONG "On the Floor"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man. It was amazing. He was amazing! The lights were amazing! Everything was amazing! Neither of us had a camera so I caught what I could on my phone, never to be taken off because of my lack of internet access. I was infatuated with it all! Of course, I was among an older crowd and they weren't as giddy as I was :( So I had to lower my excitment and decible level. All the same it was amazing. He also sang two killers songs, including a mix on "Loosing Touch" that makes it hard for me to listent to the original because I liked it so much! (Side Note: I couldn't listen to his new album for a week after that because I'd seen them all live...it was amazing!). And then, the créme de la créme of the night came on. The encore of the WHOLE show, RONNIE VANUCCI CAME ON STAGE AND SANG A KILLERS SONG!!!! I nearly died from happiness!

Needless to say, going to the Brandon Flowers concert was picture perfect. I will cherish that memory all my life. The only remorse I feel from that night is that I couldn't buy more tickets. It was awfully lonely because I'm a big proponent of having huge parties for my birthday party. That taint is most saddening.

As such I'm going to throw myself a half-birthday in the future. I refuse to leave college without a big hullabaloo all about me. For my friends of course...It's vital to my existance!

Don't use epic

As I would normally say after returning to something on the computer after leaving it for a long time, time to dust off the keyboard.

So what's new since my last post!? Well I did get home for Thanksgiving and I did find a ride home for Christmas! I hitched a ride from the rideboard on campus and it made me thankful that I worked for Catering. The driver, instead of being a stranger, was a random obscure wait staff who I knew (by her face. I am horrible with names).

I have fulfilled some life goals! I went to Death Valley for vacation and fulfilled my desire to fulfill Psalms 23:4 in real life (i.e. walking through death valley, bwahaha!), I finally got more clothes for Christmas than other types of gifts for the first time in my life (willingly), and I passed all my classes whoot!

Some epic fails are that my plans for graduate school are post-poned. Also, I used the word fail AND epic, which according to a news report in an elevator I was riding in today is a big 2011 no-no. But yeah, I won't be applying for grad school for at least another year. So I'll just have to occupy my time til then.

Like I could read great American classics :D. I'm reading "Gone With the Wind" right now and it's given me a new requirement about my future husband. He must have a gleam in his eyes that defies analysis! What that means, I'm sure is not attainable in real life. But I like it just the same.

There's oodles more, because obviously I don't have a boring life, but I don't recall it at the moment. There were also a ton of blog posts I was going to do over the course of the past 3 months but now I've whittled them down to only one. Yay! Oh, and happy New Years!
