This is a collection of some stage divers at a GBH show I went to in Orange County. I use to go by Ravenzpunkpit before my Instagram account got hacked. Spent a lot of time in the punk pit.

Doctor: So, what's happened?

Me: I got kicked in the head by some crowd surfers

Doctor, writing it down: Well, I don't think I've ever had to write this before!

tbh I think the whole crowd surfing thing gets out of control sometimes. Idk what the fuck I'm supposed to do when I see three people headed in my direction. Or those people that are about to crowdsurf without realizing that there's already someone coming up RIGHT BEHIND THEM. Shit can turn into a fucking nightmare

Are there mosh pits and crowd surfers at gaga shows? Just wondering since I'm seeing her on Saturday.

Pretty sure under my makeup I have a black eye from getting kicked and fallen on by crowd surfers.

Of Mice & Men Concert

Booo! I went to Of Mice And Men yesterday! It was so insane! we got there at around 3 PM and there was hardly anyone there yet. even though it was a sold out show. (I kinda figured there'd be more people waiting already) But yeah. When we were there Aaron walked past which was really cool and I nearly fainted.. it sounds dramatic but damn that band means so incredibly much to me it's insane. After that we caught a glimpse of Austin, but he was gone really fast, and a while later Alan and Phil walked by and that was sooo cool, Like omg. They couldn't stop sadly, so they simply walked past everyone quickly. but it was damn cool. Me and my dear friend managed to get almost at front. like 2nd row and there were no barriers, which was really cool, also really stupid.. cause it's Of Mice And Men, together with Issues and Beartooth and there were bound to be moshpits and stuff so if something happened it was so hard to get people out of there. But we were insanely close. Beartooth was really good. They were really awesome and had a real nice show. It was everything a show is supposed to be: AWESOME, close, but no one is really pushing a lot. moshpits in the back, but just nice and cool at the front. When Issues started it was still pretty fine although people pushed a lot more and you were really closed in if you were at the front. You couldn't really move, but at least you could still breathe, They were reaaaallly good live~ It was awesome and they seemed to have fun on stage,. Michael fell over a box and then laughed and cursed it which was really cute. But sadly afterwards people started crowdsurfing, which I normally think is really cool. but well, since there were no barriers it was pretty annoying cause people literally jumped on you. People got kicked in the face and a friend of mine lost one of his teeth and broke another one. so Yeah it was pretty intense..Then Of Mice & Men came on and it was.. incredible.. they were so good live.. It was insane how good they were, I don't think I've ever seen/ heard such a good liveband. it was unbelievable.. I stood there frozen.. just watching.. cause Austin was right infront of me. I could touch him.. it was insane.. but ofcourse.. everyone wanted to get close.. and Started pushing and stuff. and it was so incredibly hot there. it wasn't even funny anymore. After the first 4 songs a friend of mine got pulled onstage by a guard cause she nearly fainted. and she was brought outside.. two songs later I really couldn't breathe anymore.. I hit some girls shoulder in front of me to show I wasn't going to be okay if I stayed here and she panicked.. cause we were unable to even move. so she hit another girl and she was able to get a security guard over. he pulled me on stage and when I was there I just.. collapsed. I passed out on stage. the last thing I saw was Alan turning around while playing guitar and looking at me worriedly, like.. "What the fuck is happening" then the guard lifted me up over his shoulder and carried me outside. So I was with my friend. and I could breathe again. our other friends came looking for us quickly and when we could breathe again we went over to the merch where I bought 3 really cool small Of Mice And Men bracelets, and my friends bought me a OM&M Tour Tshirt. that was so sweet. we went in again and Luckily only missed two songs. I only cried the last few songs. it was so beautiful. After the show we were able to meet everyone from Issues. Which was insane. and we waited for Austin. There weren't that many people left. and then Austin came out.. Like.. Omg I actually met him. I got to hug him and got an autograph and he wrote down I <3 you on my paper.. which I thought was really sweet. He;s truly an amazing person and he took his time for everyone. Even though his manager told him he had to go. he still took a picture with everyone and signed their papers. he's truly so sweet and amazing. After Austin left everyone else did too. which I thought was rather strange cause we were going to wait for the other bandmembers. After about an hour or something Austin came out again and was probably quite surprised we were still there, he walked over and we asked him if the other's were going to come out as well. He said that Alan already passed out and was sleeping cause he needs lots of sleep like a cat. ( HE ACTUALLY COMPARED ALAN TO A CAT O.O C:) and the others had already gone out. Then He hugged me once again and left to go out as well. I gave him my letters for the other bandmembers. (I already gave him his before) and we waited a little while longer, cause I couldn't walk cause I was shaking so much. just when we were about to leave I saw someone walking towards the bus from the city and it was Aaron! I was so happy! So we managed to meet and hug him as well and get his autograph and it was amazing. it was sooo insane. The concert was amazing and they were all so incredibly nice. such special people and so inspirational. Truly love that band more than anything. they mean the world to me. Was an amazing night and I'll cherish my pictures with them forever. I'm 19 days clean now thanks to them. and I'm going to see them again in August. I really don't know if I'll be able to do it. But I'm going to try to stay clean until then. If I succeed. I'll throw away all my blades.. I think I almost owe it to them after all they've done to me. I'm so grateful and happy now. They helped me keep myself alive. so much love for that band. they're truly amazing. every single one of them.
