Me jealous of a six year old and Tyrone smacking a bitch


We talked
Together sharpening the knife
Like killing partners for a life
Hey, we can hide the bodies on the ride home

Now here we are
We're licking skin to wipe us clean
Strike a match, pour gasoline
Ditch the scene and watch this city burn
Asleep, my life will be a pillow steering wheel turn

I'll be reaching for the stars with you (honey)
Who cares, no one else believes
(Yes) so I, set fire to everyone around
But you--I told you
I told you we'd do it

So ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha
Yeah we won

We Drive
To leave the past and clear the mind
to watch the sunset set its time
I swear you'll find
I'm your ride home

Now close your eyes
its' getting dark and the highways clear
No sign of life from front to rear
Its just you my dear
On the ride home
We're going home

I'll be reaching for the stars with you (honey)
Who cares, no one else believes
(Yes) so I, set fire to everyone around
But you--I told you
I told you we'd do it

So ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha
Yeah we won

We talked
Together sharpening a knife
Like killing partners for a life
Hey, we can hide the bodies on the ride home
'Cause we're going home

I'll be reaching for the stars with you (honey)
Who cares, no one else believes
(Yes) so I, set fire to everyone around
But you--I told you
I told you we'd do it

So ha ha ha ha (we won)
ha ha ha ha (oh yeah we won)
ha ha ha ha (we won)
ha ha ha ha
Yeah we won
Yeah we won

-she's my ride home

captured a ghost


After we stood in line for the Blue October concert for almost an hour and after I had bitched the whole time we finally got inside to the crowded whole that is In The Venue. This place has been around in SLC forever and has had a million different names. I think they over the limit of people they let in too. Jenni kept mentioning how badly we would die if there were a fire and I kept thinking what a lovely thought to have when you're crammed into a small space surrounded by idiots that wouldn't think twice to stomp on my face trying to exit the burning building. We finally decided on staying upstairs in the 21 and older section even though I longed to be up close and personal to Justin's sweat but it was clear I was not getting with 5 feet or even 20 feet for that matter. I'm getting way too old to push through the crowds any more. And being that I haven't grown since 8th grade but everyone else did around me I get sick of staring at some dickhead's back the whole time. We found a decent spot on the balcony right behind two chicks.


The first spot we landed on had Tyrone in a brawl with a drunk woman and her boyfriend telling her what an idiot she was. Tyrone was trying to sneak into an open spot next to her by the rail and she pushed herself into him (like with her whole body as if she were in the WWF) trying to push him out of the way yelling obscenities at him while he stood there unmoved but later to return to us and all I heard was "I'll kick your ass you stupid bitch!" I was thinking at first what-the-fuh is he saying that for (I was not paying good attention) but then noticed her yelling at him and grabbing at him and her boyfriend pulling her back and telling her to shut the fuck up. I was laughing because it's usually me that gets into it with someone so I could laugh this one off more easily. BUT then the stupid woman comes over and I'm all thinking good she is coming over to apologize and she says "You can totally come over when the band starts and stand by us but just don't try to take our spot again, okay?" I quickly jumped in and said while I shewed her away with my hand, "We don't need your permission where to stand okay honey? So just go back to your spot and shut the hell up." I'm so mature. My mom is probably really proud reading this. I love calling dumb girls honey because I know how badly it pisses me off when someone does it to me. He wasn't even trying to take her spot. Someone next to her LEFT that had opened up a spot. That's just how the game is played at a concert you don't get to save every spot around you especially when it's elbow room only in the entire place. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've been pushed out of spots at many general admission shows. I won't even get into how old she looked or the fact that I probably should have just walked away from her since she was already waisted before the show even started. Classy!! There is a certain sense of class that just goes right out of the window at concerts. Me included.

Highlight of the night: Hearing X Amount of Words and having Justin look directly at me. Even though I was standing directly behind someone much larger than me on top of a balcony he totally looked at me. If anyone who follows me on twitter or is keeping track I didn't end of bawling my eyes out but it was still really, really good.


I did end up leaving jealous of the six year old girl who sat on her dads shoulders the entire time up front and was handed the set list directly by Justin himself. Sigh. How fun would that be to be able to be up front at a show sitting on someone's shoulders the entire time? You know how many awesome pictures I could have taken? I didn't see that little girl with a camera. I don't care how cute she was.

There she is. She'll remember that forever.


Why I like these guys so much? Their tour is called the Pick Up the Phone Tour which advocates suicide prevention. I love how open the lead singer is about his bipolar disorder and speaks out about it often. I love their lyrics and the honesty.

Thanks Erin! I am 31 too although that's going to change this week. I always feel so old at shows but I don't care I have so much fun.

Sweetheart is definitely just as degrading as Honey...that's so funny! I love it!

Knowing that you are my age and still so young at heart and fun-loving makes me adore you even more! I honestly thought you were mid-20s, tops. <3

Erin - I think we are a like in a lot of ways. I am also 5'4". Thanks for your nice words...I am super jealous of the way you write. I just love reading your blog so much!

Thundercat - you always make me shit myself every time you comment and especially when I read your blog.

Jennikunz - How could I forget to mention the moment of silence you took alone during the middle of the show. I can't forget that girl motioning with her hands that she thought you were praying...I almost said something to them but didn't. I was trying to listen to the show dammit!
