I just got my TBS/TSL pics back. I'll post a link to them when they're all uploaded and stuff. Let's start with Friday's show. I got there at like 5:30 and I saw Stephanie so I cut in line with her. We met two nice girls there and then Steph's friend, Jake showed up. He's really nice too. Then I went and found Angie and brought her and her friend Terissa to the front of the line with us. It was around 7pm when it started to rain and we were getting soaking wet. All these people started cutting in front of us, and I'm just not down with that. I even told this one guy, "dude you're not getting in front of me" and he grabbed my shoulder and was like "hey, I'm not, don't worry about it" and then what does he go and do? Cut in front of me. RAWR! Then I was standing there talking to Steph and everyone and these guys next to me were complaining about the rain so I was like "if you're gonna be pussies and complain about the rain then leave." I don't think they really heard me tho. Then, out of NOWHERE, this asshole turns around and starts bitching me out. He's like "you motherfucking bitch! I'm sick and tired of you running your fucking mouth and talking fucking shit" and I was like "Excuse me?!?" and he was like "you heard everything I said, it was in ENGLISH!" So I was like "don't disrespect me!" and he was like "I'll fucking disrespect you if I want to!" and this kid next to us was like "dude, just chill out" and he was like "I don't care if you are fucking with her! She needs to learn to keep her mouth shut" and then Angie yelled at him and he got in her face and she was like "get the FUCK out of my face!" He was telling me that if I wanted to complain I should get the fuck out of the line. Then he turned around and I was like "DICK!" and then we were talking about him and then 5 mins later he turns around and he's like "I have to piss. I'm gonna piss ALL OVER YOU!" and I was like "if you piss on me I'll cut your fucking dick off" then he was like "I can hear you talking shit about me! There's street lights on, go home!" and I was trying to calm him down, I was like "dude, if you don't disrespect me, I won't disrespect you" and then he's all like "shut the fuck up!" over and over again and I was like "You're making a scene" and then he kept yelling at me and all these people were laughing at him. It was great :) Then at like 7:45 they decided to FINALLY open the doors. Since me and Angie and Terissa had tickets we all got to go in first. So we ran inside and got our spots and I immediately ran for the merch booth. I got the "Making Reading Fun" TSL shirt and I got this TBS shirt that says "I had the time of my life." Then I got up front with Angie and the place started to fill up. I lost Steph and Jake and I have noooo idea where they were. Northstar was the first band to play and they were pretty awesome. Then The Reunion Show came on and I happened to get stuck by a bunch of TRS fans and was getting shoved around. That's always enjoyable. Then Taking Back Sunday came on and everyone went fucking nuts! All these crowd surfers came at me and I had to duck my head to keep from getting hit. I grabbed this one guy's nuts as he was stage diving. BWAAHAHAHA! At the end of their set all these stage divers were diving on my head and I think the microphone might have hit me in the head too. Ouch! LOL After TBS, Angie and Terissa left and I was on my own. I turned around and realized that I was surrounded by penis. I thought that was odd, but whatever :) I saw Brandon standing by the amp and said hi. He waved at me. He's gone totally emo now. He cut his beautiful hair and now it's all floppy. Poop :( There was this boy standing next to me and he gave me props for staying up here this long. w00t! Then there was this cute boy behind me with gorgeous eyelashes and a lip ring. Yum yum! I told him that it'd probably be better if he put his arms around me and not like blocking his chest. So he did. Yummmmm! I found out his name was Josh and he's 18 and goes to Apache Junction, but he lives super close to me. I kinda lost him once TSL started but it's all good. During TSL's like third song, a stage diver/crowd surfer came over my head and his foot bashed my face into the barricade and I started gushing blood. These people around me were like "OMG!" and Mike from TSL threw me a towel and a bottle of water. I thought that was really nice of him. Everyone around me was asking me if I was okay and I was like "I'm fine!" LOL. After TSL finished I saw Josh and he was like "whoa" and I told him that I thought he was a cutie and he was like "I think you're one too" so he wrote his number on my towel and told me to call him sometime the next day. Then I went over and met Mike and Matt and Tom from TSL and they signed my shirt and I got pics with them. I thanked Mike for the towel and then I met Mark from TBS. He's a cutie :) Then I left and came home and realized that my teeth must have gone through my top lip because there's a hole there. LOL. So I freaked my mom out and she was calling all these Urgent Care places and then we realized that it'll heal pretty fast so it's no big deal. So I iced my lip and went to bed.

*Josh Update* - He's going to start dating the girl he's "seeing" so he doesn't wanna hang out with me. I totally suck at boys do I not?

Saturday - I woke up and realized just how big my bruises are. My bruises have bruises. LOL. I have like 6 inch bruises on both of my arms. I have a bruise on my tummy and a fat lip and a hole in my lip. w00t! w00t! I'm still completely sore. If you wanna see my brusies click aqui and go to the "other stuff" album. Not for the weak hearted! LOL Then I got dressed and called Josh and asked him if he wanted to hang tomorrow. Blah blah. Then my mom drove me to Kim's and Kim drove me and Mary (her friend) to Tucson. We left kinda late and doors opened at 6:30 so we didn't get there till like 6:45-7. I called Dan on our way there and he has a super sexxy phone voice. *drools* yum! When we got there I walked in and saw this kid in Hurley and I was like "I know you" and he was like "Ashley?" and I was like "yea" so he hugged me really tight. AWWW! He was so0o0o warm. We were talking for a little bit and then we went inside and I met the rest of his band. He kept looking over at me and smiling. Ahh! I think he's cute. He's got floppy yellow-blonde hair and big big BIG eyes and long eyelashes and he wears bracelets and rocks the whole chipped black nail polish look. He's 16 and ahhhh! I want him :( Why do all the cute boys have to live so far away? But he's only 2 hours away so it could work if it had to. So yea, I was in the crowd during the Reunion Show and Northstar and then when TBS came on I decided to leave because I didn't wanna get hurt anymore. I knew the one speaker was going to fall down because it was wobbling and so I left fast. When I was standing on the side of the stage with Jen the speaker fell on the ground and like all these people had to come fix it. That could have been me under the speaker. Scary. I could see all these girls that were hurting in the front. They were crying and needed to be pulled out so security pulled them out and stuff. Then this guy came and asked me if I wanted to go up on the balcony so I went and watched TBS from there. It was a totally cool perspective. You're on top of the stage and you can see EVERYONE. :) Then during their last song, this girl came and yelled at us and told is that we couldn't be up there. So we left and stuff. I was kinda mad and she yelled at the guy who let us up there. So we went downstairs and I saw Dan again and we talked and then I went and stood in the crowd for TSL and decided to go stand on the side of the stage instead because I'd have a better view there. They had to put up a barricade, so it took longer for TSL's set to start. It was totally awesome because Matt kept on coming over to our side and playing for us. :) He's soo0o0o0o gorgeous! I think Kenny's a fruit. During "Best of Me", Mark, the drummer of TBS, came on stage and sang with them and Kenny was like "you guys, Mark's one of my good friends so on the count of three everyone say "thank you Mark for being Ken's friend"" and so we said it. Hmm, a little interesting you think? So after their awesome set I was going to grab a set list but the bitch got it before me. RAWR! I got another guitar pick tho. w00t! w00t! I finally got to meet Kenny. He signed my ticket and then I saw Matt and he totally remembered me from the night before. He was like "heyyy! How's it going?!" and I showed him my boo boos and he was like "OMG!" and he showed me his chin where he had wacked himself with his guitar. Poor Matt :( I should have asked him if he would kiss my boo boo if I kissed his :) hehehe Then we went around back and saw another one of the guitarists from TBS. He signed my shirt and was careful of my bruises and some of the green Sharpie went through to my tummy. Hehehe. So then Kim drove me home and I got home at like 2am. Fun stuff :) I uploaded my pics last night so you can see them here just click on the TBS/TSL album.
