Warning - quite a long entry!
Friday evening I got a call from Jamie; Saturday night was going to be his going away party, since he leaves for university in two days. My God. Things aren't gonna be the same without him here. :(
Got off work early, came home, prettied myself up, and then headed over. Got there and the whole group had taken off for a walk in the rain, so I hung out with Jamie and Joey's dad 'till they all got back. Jamie, Nathan, Trojan, Katie, Becca, Joey... not really that close to any of 'em but Jamie, but it was still nice to see people. At one point in the evening I was laughing so hard I actually clinging to Katie for support. I think she was amused.
We ended up playing "Things" for a good long time, until we were all practically peeing our pants laughing. It was wicked. Theeen we migrated upstairs to hang out in the livingroom, before finding cake, and then signing Jamie's going away banner thing. Oh, I don't want him to leave. :(
Everyone else but Nathan and I went home eventually, so he, Joey, Jamie and I went for a long walk. Nice backroads, and the air was kinda chilly... it had just stopped raining. We'd actually discussed going swimming in the rain, but decided not to.
So we walked for a bit, and Nathan went home. I hung around the house 'till about 1:15 am; we lied around in the basement, talking and listening to music. It was quite lovely, actually. Made me happy. But then I had to leave, so I gave Jamie a hug and promised I'd come visit.
Oh, I miss him already. :(
Sunday I lied around the house doing nothing, really. And then Monday? Oh man. Monday was THE CONCERT.
Family Values tour. Dir en Grey, Deftones, Stonesour, Korn... a bunch of other smaller bands, some of which didn't have the greatest music, but had some quite hot members... it was wicked.
But gotta backtrack.
Got to Holly's about ten, and she found me a Jack Skeleton shirt, and did my makeup all nice. She had her hair all crazy, along with quite a funky outfit... we looked awesome, and made sure to take photos. Her dad drove us to Toronto, and we stopped at Holly's McDonalds on the way there. Yaaaaaay. Then I pretty much slept all the way to Toronto. Oops. ^_^
Wandered around Ontario Place for a bit, before entering the actual Ampatheatre. I waited while Holly bought pleeeenty of Dir en Grey merchandise. We went back to get me a t-shirt afterwards, but they were all sold out, alas.
First few bands, like I said, weren't the greatest. Still, hotness made up for it. There was one band - Bullets and Octane, I believe - in which the bass player lost his shirt completely - made Holly and I quite happy, cause he was stunning ^_^ - and the lead singer left his completely undone, and he had tattoos everywhere... guh. <3
Then right before Dir en Grey was scheduled to come on, a group called Ten Years did instead, and Holly and I were all, OMG NO WE WANT OUR JAPANESE BOYS! And then we realized that Ten Years was actually rather good - quite good, really - so we decided that we'd google them as soon as we got home.
Then Dir en Grey came on. Applause was thunderous, of course. But they were only a little bit into their first song when Kyo went to like, jump on this crate thing, or something, and it rocked, and he fell and hit his face right off it! He lied on the stage for a good twenty seconds, while everyone continued to play, until some guy came running out and knelt beside him.
Now get this. Kyo, lying there holding his head, gets onto his knees and picks up again, right in the middle of the song. It was icredible.
He spent the show with blood all over his face - he'd banged his nose pretty badly - and on his chest (he eventually took his shirt off. :D ). Yet he shrieked and growled and sang and yelled and screamed and flailed as if he were perfectly ok. I just kinda stood there going, "Wow. That's amazing."
Then they were finished, and I was sad.
After that was one other group, and then Stonesoure, Deftones and Korn. Now, the first two certainly aren't my type of music, but some of Stonesoure's stuff was good enough. Deftones I actually fell asleep in - I was that tired.
When they finished, I went in search of pizza for Holly and I - stood in line, in the rain, for twenty minutes, with two guys stoned out of their mind right behind me, yapping and cursing away at each other until I wanted to murder 'em both... and then paid almost $5 for a small piece of pizza. Also got to witness some guy losing his stomach all over the concrete, as I was buying the food. Yeah. That was pleasant.
Then it was Korn's turn, and of course, everyone loved them. Defintely not my thing - much too dark and anti-Christian for me - but they sure know how to work a crowd. I think I'll have a bit of a love/hate relationship with them - I'll be fond of a few of their songs, as long as I can't actually figured out the lyrics. *rolls eyes*
Then they came into the crowd for one song, and everyone went completely nuts. Affffter that they returned to the stage, and the lead singer got out his giant hose and started soaking the crowd. Holly and I got nailed. It was awesome. Ahahahahaha. ♥
Then we went home. Well, to Holly's, and lied awake talking about our pretty Japanese boys, and how much love we have for them. :)
Tuesday - aka today - was fucking brilliant. It was grade nine orientation, so I went to the school and helped hand out timetables. Walking into that caf was awesome. Slideshow was playing on repeat, and it was at the "Time Warp" song, so I immediately started singing... and I walked in there, and all I heard was, "LIZ!!!!!" practically shrieked across the room. Alex, Tori, Ashley, Trisha, Becca, Fraser, Sarah and Shauna were all there, and they all greeted me enthusiastically. We proceeded to dance and sing and spin and laugh and cheer and jump up and down and laugh at the grade nines. It was friggin' brilliant.
I love my friends so fucking much. ^_^
Speaking of which! Tomorrow 'Tine is working until 2, and then after that we shall go shopping. I have about $250 to blow on back to school stuff. Hell, yes.
My sister is also throwing a party tomorrow, so I have to wake up early and clean the house top to bottom. I was thinking 9:00 wakeup, actually... which is in a very small amount of time. Guess I should sleep.
But yes! Fuck, life is good. :)
Now if school would only start again, it'd be even better. I was ridiculously happy to be back in that place. Ya know when you feel high on life? Well, yeah. That was so me today. :D
And yes, I know I'm a geek. ^_^
Oh, well! Sleep time. New clothes tomorrow. :) |
