nine: richmond/reading/fairfax!

this is supposed to be a comment to jessica ruby faye ethel.
but it's WAYYY too long for a myspace comment.
so it's going on here.[=

here's how it went down:
basically...

monday night: mom drove me to richmond and we met up with steph, ashleigh, and bekah at a hotel.
tuesday: we got to the venue around 1-1:30ish.
ate, saw the buses, and saw nick and kevin on the bus while it was backing up into the garage thing. they waved.[=
so did BigRob.
then we poned the verizon bus with KJO.com flyers.
doors opened, we went to the m&g,
i didn't get to hug or even talk to them that time.
it was like *PUSHED INTO JOE, PICTURE, PULLED OUT OF THE ROOM!*
seriously. that fast.
so then we found sara and sat with her in fifth row during the opening acts.
VALORA IS AMAZING.
rooney was great as usual.(:
then i had to leave my seat...
but it's okay.
i had front row on the side. nick's side.[;
me and steph's friend from work angie rocked out!
it was so fun.
then after the show, we went out to the verizon bus to bug everyone out there.
the guys from valora were walking around,
so we got pictures with them and the vzw boys too.
we hung out until about midnight-ish?
then we drove back to steph's house.
next day: sleep. sleep. computer. sleep. my reading ticket which i forgot at home came in the mail. sleep. olive garden. sleep.
thursday: woke up, got ready, and drove to reading. loooong drive. we got there around 5:30-6ish.
so we thought we'd missed the m&g,
but thankfully...we hadn't. xD
the line was really long, but i met maya!
so it was cool.[=
so we walk into this long room, and as soon as we get in there... nick starts staring at me. awkward.
so we get up there and kevin shakes me hand.
and i'm like "WTF?!" and he's like "oh, you want a hug!" so he hugs me.
then nick and joe were talking and i'm standing there like "...hello?" and nick looks over and shakes me hand...
again, i'm like "WTF IS GOING ON!? hand shakes are a no-no."
so i'm just like....HUG!
and he's like...okay.
then joe is watching me hug nick and is just like "i already know you want a hug."
so then we take the picture and leave.[=
oh our way back out to the place where the line was,
steph and i passed a few girls who were BAWLING their eyes out because they couldn't meet them...
and i was thinking "okay...get out of this crowd!"
and one of the girls looked at me and said "SHE'S NOT EVEN SMILING!"
uhhh, yeah HELLO.... that was like my 9th time meeting them,
and i go from them...to YOU!
but anways...
seats for this show:
steph- second row, last seat on the end, kevin's side.
me- third row up, right next to the stage(eye level!), kevin's side.
there were these three girls next to me,
they were so cool! teenies....
who didn't know what HelloBeautiful was.
BUT KNEW UNDERDOG!
yeah, i loved them.
so i told them where to point the camera during which parts.[=
Valora= totally saw me and steph rocking out! we knew every ALMOST every word.[=
i love ryan.<3

yeah, and the boys kept looking at me and steph.
and one time joe just dead on stared.
and the teenie next to me was like "are you two dating...?"
hahahhahahahahaha----yeah right.[;
then after the show, we went out to see who was at the verizon bus,
only a few of the guys.
so we went around back where the actual buses where.
and the whole valora band was there.
so we're like "PICTURES!"
syd is so cute! i love her!!
they are all so freaking cool!
so then we hung out there for a few minutes.
and then we went back to the verizon bus.
saw seth, and warren, and jim, owen disappeared, and britton was somewhere....else?
so we just hung out.
and steph, warren, and i drove up to this chinese building on top of the hill.
it overlooked the whole city, it was so cool!
then we drove back to the venue around 1am.
and then drove down to fairfax to stay with our friend michelle for the night.[=
we thought she had a ticket for the show,
but it turned out she was just wanting to help us out since we needed a place to stay.
but she ended up buying sara's extra ticket from her!
so karma was good to us.[=
friday: so we went to the venue, got there around 5ish.
found sara, got the tickets, found janice and kat.<3
then we went in and went to the m&g.
the line was hecka long again,
so we just kind of chilled in the long hallway,
which lead to another hallway...
which lead to a room that we had to go through to get to the m&g room.
mrs. jonas and maya and the "VIP" people were all chilling the the random room.
i didn't get to talk to Mrs. Jonas at all.=[

but we went into the m&g room,
and once again....nick stared at me.
so i stared back.
and michelle started laughing.
then nick looked away.
it was funny.
so then we get up to the guys.
kevin goes to shake my hand as i say "great to see you again."
then he looked at me and pulled me into a hug.[=
nick avoided eye contact... but hugged me anyway.<3
joe's so awkward...
picture, yay!
papa j was right by them,
but BigRob pushed me out of the room before i could say anything to him.
but he saw steph and was like "HEY!" and gave her a big hug!
and steph, being the smart little cookie that she is...
thought on her feet and asked about interviewing kevin for the website.
mr. jonas was much obliged to help.[[=
seating for this show:
steph- FRONT FRONT FRONT on nick's side.
with rynchelle and sara.
michelle- a little bit up on nick's side.
me- TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, almost behind the stage, on nick's side.
but i didn't mind, it was my sixth LMITE show,
so i knew what was going to happen.
i sat with sara's mommy.
it was fun!
and some of the things that go on behind and under the stage...
wow, words can't describe. hhahha
after the show, it was raining.
so all the performers left.=[
so steph, michelle, and i went to applebee's.
"soundeffectsmakeitbetter!"
"....crackmakesitfunner..."
we were a little out of it.[=
"O!"
hahahahha pricelessss.
chuckEcheese!
we stayed at michelle's again that night,
then drove down to newport news the next afternoon.
i got on my bus,
and drove home.


oh what a week.<3

eight: michigan shows.

i'm just copy&pasting what i said to Gaby on myspace.
so it might not make sense at one point or another..[=

so here it goes:

hahah would you like a page long paragraph on how my life is doing?
even if you don't, you're getting one anyway!
and girls smart enough to get it would have already figured it out by now!=P

so. i'm in canada right now.
me and steph drove up to grand rapids yesterday morning from my house in pa.
it took about seven hours to get there.
thank God for gps!

so we got to the concert,
saw some cool people,
and by some miracle got back to the m&g.
so we were in line with koon, amy, and jess.<3
and then for the m&g line we were in front of them, and behind ashlee brown.
so we hung with them for a good while.
the m&g was no autographs, pictures only.
so steph and i got a pic with the boys.[=
i need to put that up on here...
i'll get to it when i'm done commenting you.
so i gave all three huge hugs.
and said we'd see them at detroit.
ohh man i didn't realize how much i actually missed them until then.

the concert was amaazzzingggg.
we met some girls in the 3rd row in front of kevin.
and they let us stand with them.
but half way through security yelled at us.
so i went up to the far back section were my seat was.
not a bad view, just a little far away...
but it was all good.<3

we didn't leave until like 11:30ish.
and we still had a 3 hour drive to detriot/canada.
we were DEAD tired, and it was quite snowy.
but we managed to get there alive.
we only got into a little accident.
which we were LUCKY AS HELL to survive....
i'm still shaken up from it.
basically, some ass cut us off,
we slid on the ice, slammed into the concrete barrier,
spun around like 5 times barely avoiding three or four cars and landed the right direction about a foot away from the wall...
God was definitely watching over us.

today we caught up on some sleep and went to the mall.
i got the shirt i'm wearing to the shows tomorrow.
and we got starbucks.<3
and some food that we don't have in the US.:)
now we're sitting here playing guitar hero.
i'm horrible...but it's okay. supposedly nick is too.♥
