MSI cont'd

I epically fail at remembering or going back to finish my story,

Fail.

Most of the things that came out of Jimmy Urine's mouth that night were pretty Epic:

"If it weren't for me, you bitches would be at the Nickelback concert!"

"Your mom called (points to slut up on the balcony), she needs her outfit back so she can go to the Nickelback concert!"

"(somehow it ended up at) Hannah Montana's Bar Mitzvah." Crowd: "Boooo!!" Jimmy: "What are you all booing at? Hannah Montana or bar mitzvah? All of you are fucking racist!"

"You stole 20$ from your mom's purse to be here tonight!"
"All of you are a bunch of losers"

those were the memorable quotes.

Ok, now there's one more guy to mention: Gray shirt guy. He is different from red shirt guy. Grey shirt guy was fucking trashed, i smelled it in his breath (actually, most of the people there were trashed, and I heard there was a joint going around. I was sober, it made everything much better and memorable :]) Gray shirt guy was also sweaty as all hell, he was not as violent or a douche as red shirt guy, but he was leaning over some girl next to me who kept giving me the: "oh god, get this sweaty drunk guy off my back!" It was entertaining. 

So that was the concert. We met Dearestazazel after the concert and they gave us free pins. Sweet! I'm also in love with their album: Be Mine.

I hope another MSI concert is not too far into the future. I want to see those fuckers again.

So, about that MSI concert...

IT WAS AMAZING! EPIC! AHH!
So let's start at the very beginning...
Five of us left at 2pm to go to Rochester, NY. There were some fun moments in the car which included my roommate, who was the driver, trying to kill us more than once, she also hit the 95 mph barrier a few times, my friend who was the co-pilot made it so that she looked like a Frankenstein girl. That was epic since she spent most of the car ride looking over trying to distract the drivers. The driver's reactions varied from "omg, wtf?" to "HELLS YEAH! You're awesome!"
We arrived in Rochester around 4:30 pm or so (how my roomie made cut off 30 minutes off the usual 3 hour drive up there was a surprise to us all...) and we made it to the venue on time. We met a couple of people in line, and the line wasn't at all long when we got there! So I was super excited about it.
Now, let me get into the people we met in line. First there was a guy who was sitting on a window ledge who was wearing a System of a Down shirt (Awesomeness!) who was pretty cool and took our group picture:
We look amazing, I know. Anyway, see that little trailer in the back? that was hooked up to a van who belonged to http://www.myspace.com/dearestazazel"> Dearestazazel. We first talked to them and asked them if they were a band. They said no and told us that they were a traveling magic show. When we asked them to show us a trick, they epically failed. But regardless, they were super cool and super chill. We didn't know they were a band until they played up on the stage. It was awesome.

Enyways, there was also this one guy, lets call him pants guy:

He was high fiving everyone, getting people to sign his pants, and I thought he was on drugs, honestly. I saw him again inside the venue, front and center in front of the stage. Now, let me explain how he got there. We were fucked over yet again by ticketmaster. Why? When the doors at the venue open, they tell everyone that had will call tickets to line up on the left. All of the sudden, all the people who had their paper tickets go inside the venue. By this time, all five of us are pissed off as hell that we'd been fucked over yet again. So eventually we go in, about 10 minutes after the line on the right started moving. It turned out that Ticketmaster didn't even print out the tickets to give to the venue and we didn't even need tickets to go in. So what's the lesson? Never go with Ticketmaster, and if you do, curse at them. Over the phone.

We finally go in and we have to deal with the opening bands.http://www.myspace.com/iamthedreammusic">I am the Dream pretty much blew and apparantely got booed off stage in Allentown, PA the night before. Next was Dearestazazel who was pretty awesome. Check them out! My favorite song by them was "My Friends are In Love with Satan". Hail Satin! :P Next up was innerpartysystem. 

Here are some pics: 

I am the Dream:

and then MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE!!!

There are some many stories...

So there was this one guy with a red shirt who was generally being obnoxious, he was trying to shove his way up to the front near the barricade. He was kicking, shoving, etc. After a while, everyone up at the front had had enough of him and told the bouncers to fucking get rid of him. By this time, he was pretending to puke in order to get up to the front. The bouncer by then was looking for him and everyone pointed at him and yelled: "get him out! get him out!" So the bouncer got a hold of his legs, but the guy in the red shirt had an accomplice who was helping him out. So when the boucer had red shirt guy's legs, the accomplice had him arm locked. So what does the crowd do? beat the crap out of red guy's accomplice until he lets go of course! He eventually does and he got escorted out of the club. freaking sweet!

There were a bunch of crowd surfers who got sent over the barricade and sent to the back. Happens when you're a dumbass and crowd surf in a small venue :D 

So we had a girl with us who we invited, she passed out during one of the opening bands and she didn't get to see MSI which was sad, but there's an epic story to with it. My friend went with her to cool her off since she had a condition where she can't sweat properly and she needs to not be so close like we were at the concert (I was about 10 ft away from Jimmy Urine most of the time!). So my friend took her to the back of the venue, and somehow she managed to get all the way to the front where the rest of us where! It was amazing and I was dumb founded. She fought and bit and shoved. Alrighty, i've been writing about the concert for some time. I'll finish it up tomorrow. But let's put it this way: I can die happy because i'm still soooo stocked about that concert. Amazingness.

Peace out, light hos.

TOMORROW! YEY!

So the concert is tomorrow, yesterday was a good night, our roommate and I had our gays come over (our new freshman BFFs, en serio). It was talk like a pirate day yesterday so our floor basically went all out in dressing up and what not. My roommate and I, however, are a different story. We didn't do anything. Hahaha.

I still have to tell the Lyco crew the reason why I have to leave here. I don't think i'm ready to tell them why.

I think i'll be ready soon though. By then I think i'll be crying my eyes out.

i found this on facebook and didn't want to post it since I think I have one there

If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...
7. When you're finished tag some other people to do it!

2 days!!

3 days!

So there IS a happy ending to this story:
I ended up calling the venue where the concert was going to be at, and they told me to 1. Call up ticketmaster and tell them to cancel my other tickets that had been shipped to my house and 2. put another set of them on will call. One of my friends who's a regular concert goer told me if will call was an option, meaning i'd buy the tickets and they'd be waiting for us at the venue where the concert is. So kudos goes out to Water Street Music Hall in Rochester, NY. w00t!
Now, even MORE reasons why Ticketmaster is evil!
So ticketmaster actually handled the transaction smoothly and told me the will call thing was going to work out. Right before hanging up with the guy from customer service I gladly told him that Ticketmaster had given me the run around and that they were evil. Since they, in fact, did not inform me of the will call option which would've saved me not only money, but worries and an almost waterworks session.
Well now, that's the end of that.

3 more days! it's parent's weekend starting on friday. I'm glad my mom isn't coming up. I'd go insane and she'd stay until tuesday. How lame.

4 days.

I am freaking out like no other right now. My tickets for the MSI concert were shipped to my house....actually, let's start at the very beginning.
So a few weeks ago a couple of friends decided it would be KICK ASS to go to the MSI concert. so YAY! But to which show? The one in Rochester, NY of course!
[Friday September 5th]So i'm the only one with a debit card, so i volunteer to use mine to pay for the tickets. Little did I know that's how hell would start to unravel.
[Saturday September 6th] The next day after I bought the tickets, I received an automated phone call from ticketmaster telling me that my billing address wasn't confirmed from the bank. So lo and behold, I had to call them again.
Scene 2:
I call ticketmaster that night and talk to my local retailer in Houston since they don't have one in williamsport for some odd reason. So I call and I give them the right billing address, but here's the catch: they won't be able to send it to me in Williamsport where I AM LOCATED because they are stupid. So I tell them to e-mail me the tickets, and they promise they'll be in my inbox in 5-20 minutes. I wait, wait, wait and wait...nothing. So I call again, go through the whole process and they tell me the same thing. Again, same waiting time, and there's nothing in my inbox.

-Scene change-
I call again on monday, since the website told me to wait at least 48 hours for the tickets to be sent to me. I cal again and they finally tell me that the tickets cannot indeed be sent to my email because the venue doesn't allow it. So my only option now is to ship them via UPS (14.50$ to do so) to my house. Standard mail could ship up to 24-48hrs before the performance, time we don't have to be waiting around for them.

Scene 3:
so the tickets were supposed to get to my house September 12, but thanks to Hurricane Ike (gee, thanks! just what I needed...), delivery was delayed until September effing 15th. Now, here's the crescendo I need for this situation:
I last spoke to my mother on Friday right before the Hurricane was supposed to hit. She said she wasn't going anywhere and said where we lived wasn't in grave danger. I tried calling again on Sunday to figure out if she was still there, and guess what? No answer. I figured, the power is still out, there were some strong winds and I'd read some articles about how 1.2 million people didn't have power. I called again yesterday, but my friend who lives near me in Houston said there was no power anywhere. So I try again today, and no answer. This time I text my friend and she informs me that although there's still no power, the phone lines ARE working. Now, later on in the day, late afternoon-ish, she texts me again and tells me that power is up an running. So I call my mom again since I think YES! There should be no problem to connect my call to the house. Guess what? NO ONE ANSWERED. I am worried about where she is and why she hasn't called ME at all. On Monday when the package was delivered by UPS to my house, the signature was signed "VESINA" although not spelled correctly, it means "neighbor" in spanish. Which makes me think that it was signed by the bitchyass neighbor of ours and my mom hasn't been home since at least Monday or maybe even before. WTF mom, WTF.

So now I don't know what to do. I've called a couple of cousins, one of them says she hasn't talked to her, and the other one's phone gives me the busy signal. Probably because she didn't pay her bill. So now i'm going to ask my friend to see if my mom is even in the fucking house.

wow. I didn't realize how much i've gone through until i wrote this. This has been one holy hell i've been through. The show, however, will be amazing.

That's something Ticketmaster, UPS, or Ike can not fuck up for me.

Lies.

So I fail at keeping my promises of updating everyday. I get caught up in other stuff which leaves me no time for stuff that doesn't fit into the following:
a) affect my grades
b) stuff that isn't facebook
c) or wikipedia
d) Mindless Self Indulgence
e) my roommate who thinks it's funny to make fun of me :(
f) Irish Step Dance and Belly dancing.

but it's 5 DAYS! until the concert :) i'm so happy! YAY! omgwtfbbq! i'll take pictures if i can manage to sneak in my camera.
alright, i'm getting ADD...so until next time.

a continuation

It's still 9 days before the concert, but i'm going to write in anyway.
Well, it's been a good couple of weeks at Lyco. I've been keeping myself busy by joining a couple of clubs, and i've decided to make myself feel important by buying a nice planner from the school store.
It's raining outside, but it doesn't feel like a bad day. I got my OPI nail polish, so it's all good. I can't wait to transfer, I've been in and out of Texas for so long, I need a small break from it. Well, at least i'm trained to be away from home, or a base, for long periods of time. I think I can handle it as an International Studies major now. :)

9 days...!

ah! I totally fail at keeping up with the promise to write in here everyday before the MSI concert...oops! anyway, the countdown is in the single digits!
ugh. i'm gross and need to shower. 9 days! Song of the day is "On it"!

Middle of Week Three!

It's the middle of week three, I have a german exam I need to study for, so this will be a quick post.

So my views of Lycoming have changed slightly, it's not as bad as it seems, but i've also noticed the city where i'm in...shitty as hell. I'd rather be in a big city and do whatever the heck I want...where the crime is almost proportional to the population of people. Here, the crime is blown out proportion according to the population, meaning that there's a lot of crime and not too many people. Honestly? Really. I have a good roommate this year, she doesn't like the idea that i'm leaving at semester. But it's official now. The school knows i'm not coming back next semester. I don't mind, i still look forward to transferring to UNT. hopefully when I go back to Houston I can establish a wider homebase for chillin and what not.
Alright, back to the books. 11 Days until the Mindless Self Indulgence concert in Rochester, NY! We could've done closer, but some things got in the way.
