Outdated Update

I seldom write about events but last Tuesday, I went for the Fall Out Boy concert at the indoor stadium.

I totally got ravaged by the crowd when the boys first came out. The crowd had ants in their pants for half an hour, listening to the opening band, that when FOB finally appeared, it was a tidal wave to the stage. The tidal wave carried on until midway through the Thnks Fr Th Mmrs. I was totally pancaked between people in front and behind, and elbowed everywhere. It was all I could do to breathe and hang on to my slippers by stepping on them, because they were completely off my feet. I was so angry I elbowed people back as hard as I could.

It finally ended when I was pushed backwards. I felt thoroughly used. My sleeves were all off my shoulders and my skirt hiked up. Someone asked me, 'Are you alright?'

ANYWAYS. FOB sound great live! Pete's a total poser, who tried to bodysurf at the end but the lousy audience dropped him on the ground (from my view). I wish I'd put in a little more effort to learn their new songs. Because you can get really high when you actually know what they're singing. Otherwise it's like watching TV in an uncomfortable position.

I did feel like a wannabe, amongst the teeny boppers. I'm not even that old! But it was fun overall.

If we can rock, so can you.

Patrick is out of this world.

I don't know if I just don't need friends as much all the time, or I don't feel a need to connect to people very deeply. It makes me feel despondent, like something's wrong with me. And envious. It's hard to remember that what you see is not always what you get.

I hate miscommunications. I hate being misunderstood and wrongly accused. I'm terrified it's not meant to be.
