oKAY so yesterday i saw 5sos and 1d at MetLife with my friend Jess and it was AMAZINGGG
first of all i got the tickets (nosebleed seats lmao like ten rows down from the tippy top) back in october and then i got into nursing school which started this summer and then found out i had a final exam scheduled for the same night!!! but two weeks ago i was able to get it moved to the morning so i could go!!! truly a miracle
so yeah i'm boppin around getting ready putting on a full face of makeup complete with urban decay de-slick setting spray god knows why i did that but my makeup stayed for like twelve hours bc that's how bad the traffic was getting home after ANYWAY as i'm getting ready Jess texts me that she's watching a 5sos video for the first time and that they're very cute and i'm like yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss so then i bring the CD i burned with like 22 of their songs along for the drive with us (and also tmh and mm of course)
anyway yeah then mapquest said it would be an hour and 15 min drive so we left at 4 thinking that would give us extra time and like time to chill before the show NO we are like in standstill traffic on the highway at 6:50 and i am freakin out (internally not out loud) thinking that i'm gonna miss 5sos WELL we made it to our section literally as they were starting it was super beautiful
AND THEN 5SOS WAS SUPER CUTE ugh i love them a lot and they introduced themselves as different celebrities i don't remember who said which bc it's all a blur but someone was will smith and yeah you could tell they were having the time of their lives up there :) i love them i may see them next year at jones beach even though i hate jones beach
sadly i jammed along to heartbreak girl because i am trash i am Sorry
OH AND THEN IN BETWEEN 5SOS AND 1D THEY PLAYED THE AMNESIA VIDEO?????? AND I HAD NOT SEEN IT YET BC I HAD BEEN STUDYING FOR THE TWO EXAMS I HAD ON MONDAY ADN THEN I WAS LIKE. EN ROUTE TO THE CONCERT. so i hadn't seen it and i was pissed at first bc i like to watch things Alone so i can pause and freak out about it when i need to ya know BUT it was pretty cool being surrounded by thousands of people singing along so that was Cool
and then they played a bunch of other videos and commercials in between and they kept playing a commercial for the wwa movie thing AND THE STADIUM WOULD GO WILD?? FOR AN AD FOR A MOVIE DEPICTING A CONCERT THEY WERE ABOUT TO SEE?? LIVE?? like ok and everyone was getting really annoying and i wanted a beer just so i could feel Old and like i had control of my life again but it was $10-12 depending on what you got (like they sold cans of LimeARita that's like $1.75 or $2 at 7-11 for $11..................k) but then i got an email that my exam grade was up and i got 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on the exam that i'd taken early so i could be at the concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so i got a beer right before 1d came on in celebration (which they gave to me in a cup with a straw?) and i hadn't eaten since before noon so it went pretty far
and then 1d came on and it was. An Experience. i had crappy seats so i didn't really see much, just what was on the big screens basically, but it was so fun and i danced and stuff and Liam did his Mrs. Horan stuff some more that was cute and then about five songs in Niall started waxing poetic about everything to introduce Don't Forget Where You Belong and i got super emo and i just thought about like how their lives have changed and how far they've come and how they've brought bazillions of people together and like. the friends i've made through 1d fandom and how much fun i have had in it. like even though i hate the fandom most of the time i'm still really defensive of it to outside people because young women and girls are A Force and like that text post the other day said they're the biggest band on earth and their management like actively sabotages them and does Nothing other than make ten perfumes and shitty music videos lately but we love them so we have this power to make them so huge. and that's cool like we are United in this dumb thing idk where i was going with that but i was like. getting emotional ha ha
but yeah i usually Hate shows that aren't general admission bc my usual concert is like. 00s alt rock like fueled by ramen and local Long Island bands and pushing and shoving and getting to the front and just being surrounded by the crowd. and the only two concerts i've been to that weren't that i've felt like. cheated of that experience. but i guess since 1d is such a different type of music than that it worked out because sitting (shout out to the mom in front of us who sat which meant we could sit if we wanted) and looking out at all the cell phone lights people had going during that made me feel like really connected to all those people even though minutes earlier i had hated them so much that i spent $10 on a beer
and it was incredible to be surrounded by people screaming their hearts out along to these songs that i've just LOVED a scary amount for so long. like One Thing?? and More Than This (ZAYN ugh he was kind of hard to hear for most of the show but he killed it on that one)
so yeah it was very great!! which i had been expecting to be disappointed bc i had bad seats and i'm not used to seats but it was still amazing!!!
oh and then it took us like 3 hours to get home bc there was traffic Everywhere there was traffic in Jersey there was traffic in Manhattan when the GPS tried to reroute us through there to avoid other traffic and then there was traffic on the frickin LIE at 1:30AM like o k
hmm what else also when they were introducing the band the piano guy played "These Hoes Ain't Loyal" and louis sang along like "these girls ARE loyal...my girlfriend's loyal" and i was just like w hy
also a lot of people had very intricate light up signs
