*sigh*

How is it possible to have such a great day yesterday and such crappy one today?

I'm so depressed... Dave Douglas is leaving Relient K and I cannot imagine them without him... This is so sad...

On top of that, I'm sick...

This sucks...

I would normally listen to RK in times like these, but now it just might make me even sadder... I guess I'll try it anyway...

Two Down, Three To Go... A minute by minute account of the Relient K/Switchfoot Concert [Sort of... lol]

AMAZING!

That's what it was... so amazing! lol, well, after rushing around the house trying to gather everything and finish they're gift, which I didn't get to finish by the way, lol, I left with my mom around 4:30 [a couple hours later than I had wanted, lol] we drove the 2 and a half hours to Columbus and got there at about 7:30 or so... I heard a band go on so I was thinking that it was Ruth, well, it turns out, that it wasn't Ruth, it was Relient K, going on only minutes after I had arrived, we weren't even in our seats yet!! It's like they waited for us, haha *woot*

Anywho, I was front row, but the stage was still really far away and I had these girls by me that were dancing constantly... it was getting a tad annoying to tell you the truth, lol.... but anyway, They were so awesome :D Matty T's sister was there and he brought her out on the stage and he talked to her and introduced her to the crowd and all the nifty stuff. He said that she didn't like his stache and then said that it didn't matter, haha... Then they played Sleigh Ride for her because she listens to Christmas music all year round *woots* cause I do too! haha *happy dances estatically* They also played a tears for fears song, in love with the 80's, Sadie Hawkins Dance, I Need You, Devastation and Reform, who I am Hates who I've been, the usual songs :D And I think I saw Matthew look at the twice! The first time I was looking at Schneck and only caught the end of it, and the second time he definately was looking at me :D! At least I think so... lol

Durning Sadie Hawkins Dance Matt let three people up on the stage to play with them, luckies, lol, one of them got to use his pretty shiny red guitar and the other two got to do bells :D I think that anybody who's learning how to play guitar right now *cough*Brittany*cough* should learn how to play that song... I must be coming down with a cold.... haha... no really I think I am my throat's been killing me since before the concert, lol

I was dissapointed with the Columbus crowd though. Barely ANY of them were singing along and it was sad to look behind me and barely see anybody jumping around spasically like me, lol, at the end of who I am hates who I've been, Matt did that one cute thing at the end of the song when he repeats, "Wish that I could take back", barely anybody was singing along, I could actually hear myself... Boo, Columbus crowd, Boo.

But it was still Amazing!!!!!

So when it was over I went out to the merch table and got a shirt, some buttons, a poster and a bumper sticker... haha, the guy that got my things for me seemed very amused by all the RK things that I was buying, lol, it was funny... he was also very cute, haha

Anyway, then Switchfoot came on, and they were so good!!! They're amazing live. Jon Foreman walked around through the aisles during the concert and on his way back up to the stage ran right infront of me! haha

My favorite song they did was Awakening, it was awesome, and one of the 3 or 4 songs I actually knew the words to that they played, lol, near the end of their set, Matt Thiessen came out again and so did Ruth and they played a song Jon said they had just finished the night before and it was their first time playing it. It was soo Amazing :D

Before they sand it Matt cracked a joke, which I thought was funny, but not many people really laughed, which also dissapointed me, lol, he said something along the lines of this... "Hey, so did anybody realize that if Ruth wasn't on stage, this would be ruthless..." I don't know, haha, I thought it was cute... Anyway, the whole thing was just so good.... I cannot wait for all of you guys to go to it... I wish I could go again!!

Anywho, afterwards, we walked around the venue to look for tour buses. Did I happen to mention that this venue wasn't even sold out?! There were a TON of seats left... Anywho, back to what I was saying... lol... we found them and stood by them for about 30-40 minutes before Jon Schneck came out to talk to all of us. I got a picture with him and talked to him for a little bit. Would you believe me if I said I forgot to ask him to sign my poster? lol, cause I did... I remembered when he was walking away, lol

Anywho, Jon and Chad [I think] from switchfoot came out and I got pictures with them and Jon signed my phone, it rubbed off though :/ I got a picture of it, but it's kinda faded :/ Anyway, later John Warne came out and I got a picture with him as well and this time I remembered to ask him to sign my poster, lol :D! We all waited longer and then more Switchfoot guys came out and we waited for Matty but he never came out... I think that he was probably hanging out with his sister or with Shannon because someone told me that they saw her earlier walking around. So after a little over 2 hours of waiting around we left at about midnight and got home around 3 or so...

But anyway, it was so awesome and I put a few pics up on my myspace, though, the pics I took during the show didn't turn out, if you want to see them, let me know, I don't know if I'm gonna put them up on myspace or not, haha, they're all janky and blurry, there was bad lighting...

So I've been typing this a long time, and I bet that I forgot things that I wanted to add... but oh well, I'll post another if necessary, haha

♥ Nina :D

Bored...

So I'm really bored... And I have nothing to do... well, okay, I have that I could be doing/should be doing, but I don't feel like working on them, lol, like my re-write of my mythology paper, haha
Anywho, I'm sitting here... Listening to RK, currently, When You're Around... And yeah... I would go on myspace and see if anybody's online but my school blocked it due to bandwidth issues or something... ooo now I'm listening to Everything Will Be Just Fine, hehe :D
Anyway... Are you Bored yet? Haha, sorry this is one sad blog, I think I'll go vote for Relient K some on mcdlive.com... yes... that's what I'll do, haha
If you're still reading this, then most likely you're bored too and that means you can be less bored and vote... For Relienk K... Not the other bands, which one of my friends actually did, haha, anyway, my batteries dying and I don't have a charger so I gotta go, haha
talk to you guys later :)

Well, Third Time's A Charm I Guess...

So I went to see Hotspur tonight.
Me and my mom figured that they'd go on probably 3rd or 2nd so we kind of took our time leaving... Turns out that we definately shouldn't have, haha.
So we get there and go inside and we ask the guy at the door if hotspur already did they're set. They did. They had just finished about 10 minutes prior to us showing up. Just my Luck, lol [that's a good movie by the way, haha]
So we go back to the car, and we think we see them packing up their gear and instruments and things so we walked over there to say hi.
I think they remembered us from the last time [we didn't get to see them play then either, haha]. It's so annoying that it's almost funny, haha
So I talked to them for a little bit and I got another picture with them. So at least it wasn't a complete waste of gas.
They're really nice guys. Last time since I couldn't stay for their set, they gave me their cd [because I only had their really really old ep from a couple years ago, haha] and a few other things.
This time they shared with me that they went to a garage sale and got a really sweet hat that said, "Welcome to Cleveland" for free and a cat poster... I think they said it was a poster, haha.
Anyway, if you've never listened to them, you should because I think that they're pretty awesome and they're uber nice guys. :]
I'll post my pictures eventually, but I don't have the software to upload pics from my camera on this computer yet.
I was writing this blog instead of reading mythology, haha, or doing my art. So I guess I should go since it's late.
If you've never heard of Hotspur, I bet this blog was really boring for you, haha.
*gives brownies to make it worthwhile*
haha.
I'm totally making them brownies next time they come somewhere near me.

I can't decide...

I'm having trouble deciding whether I've had a really good day, a bad day, or an okay day. I'm thinking under the circumstances of events that happend today, that I'll say that I had an okay day. One... well, two good things happend today. My mommy got me sour patch kids, haha, that's one good thing, the better of the two though was my message from matty t. *woot*
So those two things happening to me today kind of helped my day be a little bit better.
First, on the way home from school today, some guy completely cut me off. I had a turn signal, and right in the middle of my turn he jutted out infront of me, causing me to have to slam on my brakes. Then about 15 minutes ago, I found out that my computer had to get it's hardrive replaced... Again! It's probably somewhere between a year to two years old and I've already lost EVERYTHING on it two times. It's becoming very annoying to keep having to replace it.
If you count all the times I've lost everything on various computers, it comes to a grand total of... *counts*... about 6 or 7 times.
If it's ever happend to you, you know how absolutely horrible it is...
Anyway, So I'm trying to dwell on the good things that happend today. Sour Patch Kids and Matt Thiessen.
Listening to Relient K helps some too....
Homework here I come....
Talk to you guys... if anybody's reading... later.
♥Nina

It's Quite Warm Today...

I think that I might be talking to myself right now... but oh well, that's okay. Today I went to the fair... i saw the goats, and I pet them... I'd post a picture, but I can't upload them to this computer without the software, so maybe I'll post them later.
Anywho, So today was nice. I got my 'The Complete Infrastructure Known As The Female Mind" today :D. I started to read it as soon as I got it, haha, and I think that I might go read more now... :]
that was a boring post...
have a nice day!!
Nina
