Life Update!
I'm not sure how long this is going to be so I just stuck it under a read more to be safe.
On Thursday Lindsey and I went to Damen's house and spent the entirety of the day watching the first release of Evangelion. The first tear fell on episode six but I honestly didn't cry after that. There were moments that were really quite sad and I would just sit there and thing WILL SOMEONE FUCKING HUG THAT PERSON but I didn't cry again. I'm hoping that the movies and the reboot will allow me to glean a little more insight to the characters so I can perhaps form a deeper bond and better understand the feelings that are meant to be portrayed in this series.
Because seriously Damen cried like a bitch pretty much the entire time. I just wanted to pat his face the entire time.
After that we went and picked my brother up and brought him home to our place. We stayed up for a couple of hours and chatted and then we all went to bed.
Friday: Concert day and cake. My brother's birthday is on Monday so I wanted to do something with him before hand because I was pretty sure that we wouldn't get the opportunity otherwise so I bought us tickets to go and see Justin Furstenfeld, the lead singer of Blue October who is doing a solo tour right now to help promote his new book.
We spent the day chillin' had some lunch, made some cupcakes then went to go and stand in line for an hour and a half in the snow to get good seats. Which we did. No regrets there. When there Lindsey, Shane, and myself waited for my mom, Malt, and one of their friends so we could all sit together. Which we also did. The opening act was pretty good. Her name was Tori Vasquez and I really liked her voice. We were going to get her EP but by the time we went down there she was gone so we just grabbed the free download card that they also provided and I'll probably figure out a way to get the EP via the internet.
The concert itself was really emotional, which I expected because Justin is a very emotional performer. Enough so that pretty much our entire row was crying at one point or another. I really liked it because not only did he sing but he also gave the audience insight to the meaning behind the songs that he chose to perform. He did a little Q&A (there was a rude girl in the audience who decided to assume that one of his songs that he sang was literally how something happened to him and he got pretty pissed. But was still very polite about being pissed.).
It was a great concert and if he ever comes back to MN I am definitely going.
Anyway, after the concert we all went downstairs to get some stuff signed. I basically sat in the line the entire time nervous as fuck because I was about to go and talk to the man who made the music that kept me alive. By the time I got up there my heart was trying to beat its way out of my chest and I was pretty sure that if the music hadn't been so loud down there other people would have been able to hear it.
So I finally got to him and I gave him my little bookmark to sign and I tried talking and I stumbled over my words and out came tears. He sat there and patiently waited for me to get the words out, just smiling up at me. I actually did and he shook my hand before pulling me into a hug and I proceeded to cry on his shoulder and say thank you a million times. He told me that I was beautiful, which he said to a lot of other people that night too but sometimes it feels good to be reminded that despite my pain I am still a person.
He made a couple of jokes after that and I was just. Really happy that I got the opportunity to finally tell him how his music helped me after six or so years of listening.
I drove Malt home, brought my mom and Shane home, went to grab a bite to eat with Lindsey, then went home and crashed.
Today has not been nearly as great as the last two. I got a call from Lindsey at 10:30 this morning saying that the car was overheating again. That problem that we got fixed for the price tag of over $1,000? Yeah, not fixed. So I told her to call the auto place and tell them. They're a family owned business so I'm hoping they have some sort of guarantee policy or something because wow we really can't afford to keep playing Russian roulette with that car.
That being said I have no idea if we are actually going to be able to go to Skateville tonight because our car is currently not working and parked in a Mobile gas station parking lot.
I figured the past couple of days were really great so life had to go and throw us a curve ball.
