November 29, 2009Hawkbot?Those of you who have Forever the Sickest Kids' new album Friday have heard the bonus track, "Hawkbot", featuring Chae Hawk.
Personally, I am not a fan. Not at all, actually. It's completely different than what they usually do, and (in my opinion) not in a good way. I feel like they're trying to be something they're not. Anyway, the part at about 2:10 when Jonathan starts trying to rap was always immensely funny sounding to me, and I couldn't put a finger on it. Then, all of a sudden it hit me. Aaron Carter much?
Except I thoroughly enjoy Aaron Carter (yes, still). And I don't really enjoy "Hawkbot". But anyway, the similarity, do you hear it? What do you guys think of this song?

October 19, 2009I am CONVINCED.That these two men are related. There has to be an explanation for this. Lucas Grabeel:
And Will Pugh of Cartel:
Yes, I'm very aware that these pictures of Will Pugh are very poor quality, but I was having trouble finding good pictures of him anywhere. When he smiles, he looks a LOT like Lucas, but that's the tough part - finding a picture of him smiling. And so, I present videos as proof that THEY LOOK THE SAME. Maybe not in photos, but THEY REALLY DO.
Erm. Ignore the awkward text about his hotness in the beginning. Because my point is not that, but that THEY LOOK THE SAME. They have to be related. I just don't see another explanation. This is ridiculous. What are your guys' thoughts?

October 16, 2009What would I do without FTSK...?So, at the moment I am SUPER tired/busy/grumpy/sick/sleepy/cranky/unhappy. Last night was the AP Fall Ball. You know, The Academy Is..., Mayday Parade, You Me At Six. This was planned since the middle of summer. All of a sudden, the night before the concert, our ride (friend's sister) fails because it's "too far away" and the friend's parents wouldn't let her sister drive us. VMAKLSHCJLAKGDJASHVACJSFF. Her parents can't take us, nor mine, nor her nanny nor mine. And even more frustrating is the fact that this is the same venue as the Owl City concert waaaay back when, and yeah, it was also a school night. Yeah, it was a whole hour away (:O SO FAR), but my daddy took us out there dammit! I don't know, I'm kind of upset that her family just flaked on us. NEEDLESS to say, I am VERYYY bummed about this. This is the second time in a row I've missed seeing TAI... That's not okay! So my night sucked. Meanwhile, TENNIS HAS CONSUMED MY LIFE. I have time for nothing else. School is barely even there. I have little to no homework all the time. It's just tennis tennis tennis tennis. If it's not a match, it's a practice. Or a tournament and it is seriously draining me. I don't get enough sleep every night (no time) to be playing hard every day. Then, this week i was/am sick. Also, I'm having a tough time having a social life when every possible time people can hang out I HAVE TENNIS. I swear, half the time I miss lunch! I can't even hang out with friends then! Then I leave school early and I can't hang out with people after school which is usually a good time. Then of course i have tennis after school nearly always so that's never an option. Then this weekend I have tennis all day tomorrow and a BBQ on Sunday so I can't do ANYTHING. I'm seeing Spamalot tomorrow night so I can't do anything then. Garrrrr. I'm VERY stressed out and VERY tired and VERY unhappy. I come home and FTSK have posted a new song -She Likes -, the release of which I have been anticipating for AGES. I'd listen to the little sample of it over and over. Needless to say it brightened my mood and I'm at least much happier now. For some reason Forever the Sickest Kids can always make me happy and take some weight off my shoulders. It's strange, but I wouldn't change it for anything. I can't wait to see these boys December 5. Oh, and also, Runner Runner FI-NAH-LEE posted "Unstoppable", which they play at every show and have never released. So thank god for that!
ANYWAYS. Purpose of this was: let Liana rant for a bit to get it off her chest, then you can listen to two FANTASTIC songs and ignore all of what she said. YAY. FOR FTSK. Which rhymed.

September 17, 2009It's never enough to have me wrapped around your finger.Okay. So this Blink-182, FOB, and AAR concert tomorrow is exactly everything i need right now. For some fricked up reason, everything at school and during school is fantastic, and everything after just seems to pretty much suck. Tennis... ugh. I can only barely write about that. I'm playing great and have never played better, but my team can't win one freaking match, and our #1 girl is supposedly amazing, and shes come to ONE PRACTICE only, and for some reason she's treated like a superstar and the whole thing just REALLLLLY pisses me off so I'm stopping here. I have 3 blisters on my toes. Pretty sure I'm getting sick. There's homework. The family's yelling. Everyone's mad. But high school is fantastic. I'm just in love with my high school and everyone there and I'm just so excited and happy and YAY. If it weren't for music/concerts I don't know what I'd do. I need this show tomorrow so badly it's ridiculous. I need to escape. Just, from everything. I know everyone's super excited to see Blink, but personally I just can't wait to see Fall Out Boy play again. Call me whatever you like, but it's so true. Ever since the end of Bamboozle Left when I had my epiphany about FOB and how they're the whole reason I'm even into music, I just cannot wait to see them play again. I do hope they don't mostly play their new songs though, i really want to hear more of their older, obscure songs :]. Aight. Liana, out. AH and I just remembered. I haven't had time for ANY photography. Ugh. Life. Slow down.

August 25, 2009Warped Tour [8.23.09] LAHOW DO I BEGIN. So much happened! Let's start with the highlights and lowlight. (And this journal is gunna be a BEAST, so if you don't have the time to read it, SORRY.) +We hung out with Runner Runner the ENTIRE day. Some of them remembered us, and the rest SHOULD now. (We've been to four of their shows). +Jon ate part of my slushie :] +FOREVER THE SICKEST KIDS ARE AWESOME. Seriously, one of the funnest bands I've ever seen live. +They played "She Likes" which makes me ridiculously happy, because I get the chorus stuck in my head a LOT, because that's the only part I know. And I was probably the only person who knew the words LOL. +We got to meet FTSK! HELL YEAH! -KYLE FREAKING BURNS WAS FREAKING SICK. YEAH, MY KYLE BURNS. SO HE WASN'T THERE. I DIDN'T GET TO MEET HIM. And, the stupid tent wouldn't let us take pictures. AGAIN. +Caleb fed Becky a gummy bear and she bit him :D. Then he just gave me one. +Austin told Becky he liked her eyes, then told me I had pretty eyes, too. +I told Jonathan I had to tell him something, then leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Germs are disgusting!" (Anyone remember that? :]) +WE FREAKING MET SMOSH. THIS SMOSH. +We got to see 9 bands that are awesome! That's awesome in itself! Okay, so, details now? We woke up at 7 and got ready. We ate some breakfast and hit the road. We got to the Home Depot Center around 9:15 and got in line. We weren't sure if there was a seperate line yet for presale tickets, so we just waited in line. I did get out once to go check, and these three kids came up to me and were like, "We're from the UK, and we have those tickets too. Do you know where we go?" And I was just like, "You're form the UK?!" I still think that's awesome. Anyways, we concluded that they would probably seperate the lines later, and we laughed about how early we would probably get in (as in like, 5 minutes. They were funny). Some guy came up to us and handed us some books in another language and wanted us to donate, and we were like, UMMM no sorry, it's our parents money... And he WOULDN'T leave us alone, and got mad for not donating. Then, naturally, a bunch of people came by promoting their music, and we ended up buying like 2 CD's. Haha, and one started off by handing us those books and said, "Do you want to change your lives?" and we were like, ummm no thanks, and he was like, JUST KIDDING, wanna listen to our music? And then, more people came over, and they were Uh Oh! Explosion, and Becky and i just busted up. Because we had bought one of their CD's at Bamboozle Left, and it's really not that good. Really. So we were laughing suuuuuper hard and they just skipped over us. It was still soooo funny. Then at 10 the box office opened up and the line got really short, and we turned the corner and managed to find the presale line. But while we were moving up in the line, I saw another guy walking with headphones and CD's, and I tried to walk to the side of the sidewalk and stare out that way like I didn't see him, but he totally comes up and goes, "Hello over there!" He was actually really funny and nice, but we DID get suckered into buying another CD. And while we were listening to his stuff, we passed Pat from the Maine taking pictures, so I'm like, Becky, do you want a picture with Pat from The Maine? And she's like, what? So i repeat myself and she says nawww. And i asked her again later and she was like WHAT?! OF COURSE I DID! And apparently she never ever heard me. So, later in the presale line that same guy found us again and talked for a bit. He was nice. :] OKAY. SO ENOUGH OF WAITING IN LINE. Though it actually was kind of fun, lol. So we finally get to go inside after forever. It took forever to buy a schedule, and Becky and I were freaking out trying to find where Runner Runner were playing, because we were told they were playing right away. But turns out they weren't playing first, so we calmed down and just kind of walked around for 10 minutes, trying not to spazz because we didn't know where anything was. Eventually we found the Hurley.com and Smartpunk stages, which was where most of the bands we were seeing were playing, and turns out RR's tent was RIGHT there and they were all hanging out there. So we went up to them, and I'm still highlighting bands i want to see, because i was so frazzled. And they were like OHAIII and loved Becky's shirt (it was a RR shirt that she had cut) and Peter was all, I like what you've done witht he place! And various people hugged us, I forget who hugged me and who hugged Becky, lol. But half of them were shirtless, and Becky said whoever hugged her was SUPER sweaty. So we kind of chilled there for a bit and calmed down, and Jon asked to look at the schedule, too. And I was all, I thought you guys were playing like, NOW. And he told us that it got changed. And he was happy because, apparently that means people like them! Lmfao. We were walking away and some guy asked us to sign his table, so we signed it and Becky listened to his music at the same time. While this was happening, the guy asks me, "Are you two together?" and I'm like, "Together? As friends..." and he goes, "Oh, cause what I do for lovers is draw a heart and make them write their name in it." I was just thinking, you thought we were lesbian? WTF. But the guy who asked us to sign his table was really nice. Later he asked us again and we told him he already had, and he did AGAIN and we're like, that's the third time today. So then every time he saw us he'd literally RUN up to us and be like DO YOU WANT TO SIGN MY TABLE?! and we'd be like YEAHHHH LETS GO! It was hilarious. Then I think we ran around trying to find the RIGHT vans tent to get passes to meet FTSK later. As we were walking around ANOTHER person stopped us and asked us to listen to their band. They only had skullcandy Icon headphones, so we were trying to listen at the same time, so our faces got like, an inch apart and we were moving around trying to make it work, and the guy's like, so are you going to make out after? It was really funny. We finally found the right one and got our passes. Which was good, cause they were already up to 131/150. Then a lady at the next Vans tent stopped us and asked if she could take a picture of us wearing our Vans for some "Women of Warped Tour" thing. So I'm interested on where that picture is going :D. So after that we were really confused how the Maine was going to play there since Cash Cash still was playing, and then we realized that they were playing the HURLEY stage, not the Hurley.com stage. That got us again later with Sing It Loud. So annoying! But anyways, they were super fun to watch! And they played Into Your Arms, which is my favorite, so yay. During the last song, Girls Do What They Want, they pulled two girls up onstage. Johnnnn O was like, oh do you know the words? And they were like, kind of. And all they had to sing was "Girls do what they want, woah oh, woah oh, boys do what they can," and he tried to teach it to them and they were likes, girls do what they want boys do what they can, almost rapping it. And everyone around us were like, WTF, they suck. It was really sad/funny that they didn't know any of the words. Then we walked around and figured out where all the tents were that we wanted to check out, since we had a bit of time before We The Kings played. I also wanted to know for Where's Kyle?. Then we saw WTK play, which is super fun. It was better than at Bamboozle Left, because there Travis's mic was super quiet, and it was a lot better mix here. They're so much fun live, it's so fun. They also played their new song, Heaven Can Wait. So, that was super enjoyable, and then we had like and hour break before FTSK played. We walked around and I bought all my merch then, which was an FTSK shirt and bracelet, a Credentials shirt, and a ATL shirt. And once again, when I pulled out my wallet, Ziggy was like, "Hey that's Kyle!" and pointed. And I'm like, yeah you said that last time :] and he was like, oh probably. Lol the tag on the ? shirt says "I'm a small ...are you mad?" The bracelet I got says "HEY BRITTANY".
So then, after that, we were REALLY freaking hot, so we decided to get slushies. Which was like, a giant snowcone, basically. A heck load of crushed ice in a big cup, that we put flavoring onto. It was absolutely amazing though, just the fact that it was ice was great. Then, we decided to go to RR's tent again, because it was basically our home base if nothing else was happening. We'd just go there. So we did, and Jon was there still, so we were like, yo whats up. And I was like, oh so have you just been chilling here the whole time? And he was like yeah. And he was like, is that good? And I'm like oh yeah, its mainly just ice, but that's why it's so good. It's so hot. And he was like, can I just bite some off of the top? And I was like, yeah got for it. So I held it out to him and he bit some off the top :] which made me very very happy. After, we went to the FTSK crowd, which was HUUUUUUUGE. Like, we were early and were already at the back of the lot. It was absolutely jam-packed. Anyways, they are definately one of my very favorite bands to see live. I don't think anyone doesn't have fun in that crowd. FTSK really know how to work a crowd, it's insane. I've never had quite so much fun!!! And, they played "She Likes", which I've heard the little teaser clip of and know the chorus (which gets stuck in my head), so i thoroughly enjoyed singing along when everyone around me was like, how do you know the words, they just said it was a new song? Haha, anyways, there were two girls in front of us who were really nice. And Kyle has gorgeous hair and cute dance moves. But man, do I love hearing them play. So much energy, such a big crowd, so much fun. I really don't understand why they weren't on mainstage, because there was such a massive crowd. i can't wait to see them play again. I always love every song of their set. After FTSK played, we were SUPER sweaty from all the jumping and dancing, and Runner Runner hit it up on the stage right next to us, so we moved over there and managed to get to the 3rd or 2nd row, so that was super fun. Runner Runner are fantastic live. I feel like I say that all the time. But we finally got to see an entire set of theirs, since they've had difficulties the past 2 times. They did their silly freeze thing again :]. And at the end, James was throwing his drumsticks out, and for his second one I yelled really loud, and he looked at me, made eye contact, and threw it to me. BUT IT FREAKING BOUNCED OFF MY FINGERS AND WENT 3 FT TO THE LEFT. Lame. And it chipped my nail pretty painfully lol. So, we had a little bit of a break before Sing It Loud played, so we were walking around and This Providence was playing the Kevin Says Stage, so Becky made me stop so she could watch them lol. They played her 2 favorite songs, two of their songs that I actually liked so that was nice. Then they played one of MY favorite songs, so that was also nice. They were pretty good. Then we got some lemonade and sprite and went to go watch Sing It Loud, but once AGAIN we went to the Hurley.com stage instead of the HURLEY stage (SO ANNOYING). I love watching them play, Nate has SOOO much energy and half the time he's not even playing, he's shaking his ass for us or swinging his hips, hahaha no joke! We saw Jack Barakat watching on the side of the stage and were hoping Alex Gaskarth would come sing on No One Can Touch Us, but he didn't come out. So after we watched them for a while, we went back to Runner Runner's tent because they said they'd be there at 3:30. So we went and hung out and asked Ryan and James about Unstoppable and got pictures with James. Then we wanted ones with Jon but people kept interrupting me when I asked, so finally he was like, sorry, did you want just me or a group photo? And we were like, :O GROUP PHOTO. So we managed to round everyone up, though I did have to go find Nick and drag him back over. Then some girls took a picture for us, and yes, Peter makes silly poses. :]
So then we went to go find the line for the FTSK meet and greet. We sat down (which felt great) and I organized Kyle's birhtday present. We waited for 20 minutes, then 20 more, and finally at 4:20 the line started moving. All Time Low had of course started their set by now (last time they were playing when we met FTSK too, but this time they were mainstage so we could watch and hear them the entire time, which was nice). So we got to the point where we could see the table, and KYLE FREAKING WASNT THERE. HE JUST WASNT. So I kind of freaked out, because that upset me a lot. Marc was first, and i said hi and he signed my poster and I thanked him, and then Kent did the same. Then I asked them where kyle was, and they told me he was sick. So i was like, oh youre kidding me, okay then can you guys please give him his birthday present for me? And the sweethearts, they were like, yes of course. Bless their hearts I love them :]. So then I was looking at Kent's rings and one look a LOT like the one i had given kyle, so I pointed that out to becky and she was like yeah kind of and Kent just sat there really confused about what we were talking about :D. Then it was Austin, and he was super nice. He looked up at becky and just says, "I like your eyes," and she was kind of surprised but thanked him, and then he turns to me and goes, "Let me see your eyes? Yes, yours are pretty too," which made me really happy, even though i think he might have said that just so i wouldnt be hurt LOL, but hey, he still complimented me! Next was Jonathan, and I'd been dancing singing along to ATL the entire time, so I was singing Lost In Stereo and Jonathan tried to sing along with me, but he didnt really know the words, but it was still hilarious and fun. So, after he signed my poster I go, "Hey I have something to tell you," and leaned down to whisper in his ear and he leaned forward, and I whisper, "Germs are disgusting!" and he's like, "Aaaaaaaaah!" and points at me like he remembers something. Then says, "That they are, very true, very true." So he either remembered or was just going along with it, but I hope he actually remembered :D. That would be awesome. So then Becky asked him for a picture so I took one of them, and the Vans guys turns and goes, "NO PICTURES. NO." So, we didn't get any pictures AGAIN. So annoying. Then it was Caleb, and he had gummy bears which I pointed out to Becky because she thought of getting him some. He signed my poster, and I think it says Caleb, thens something like a B, then loveya, but it definately says Caleb and Loveya, just not sure what the middle part is lol. But anyways, I look back over and Caleb is holding a gummy bear up to Becky's face, and so she tries not to slobber him and ends up biting his fingers LMFAO. It was great, but yeah, Caleb just fed Becky! So then I made a pouty face and held out my hand and he gave me one too :]. Then there was a random other guy who signed my poster "KYLE is sick :(", so I was like ummm thanks. So I've managed to meet FTSK twice and NOT get Kyle's autograph. FML. And then the Vans guy told us we had to go so we thanked them again and said goodbye.
So, I was trying not to be depressed because I didn't want to dampen Becky's happiness, but it was really hard. She gave me a much needed hug. I tried to enjoy ATL to the best of my ability, and I did, I really did. They're fantastic live, and Alex sounds amazing. But, they're lyrics aren't exactly, CHEERFUL, which is what I really needed. Like the line, "I'm gunna break your littler heart" wasn't exactly what I was looking for. But I did love getting to see them live, finally. After that, we got some water and pizza, because we hadn't eaten like, at ALL. We stopped for one VersaEmerge song, then went over to the SmartPunk Stage for the White Tie Affair. We sat and ate for their first 2 songs, but then we stood up and watched. And WOW. I was blown away. They are amaaaaazing live, and super fun and dancey. Plus, two people went up and tapped me and asked me who they were (because I knew all the words), so good for them, that just shows that they ARE good. They were exactly what I needed to cheer me up, so that was good, very good. Thank you White Tie Affiar. So after that, we thought we had half an hour until Hit the Lights played, but turns out we had one and a half hours. I think we played a Mad Lib or two. Then we went to the bathroom (AND MY PORTAPOTTY DIDNT HAVE TOILET PAPER. IT SUCKED). I sugested we see if anyone was skating still, and the ramp was not active still, but we found a giant open circle where 2 guys were doing some tricks. So, I got to sit down for a while and just watch them and their AMAZING tricks, so that was really funy and REALLY nice to sit down for a bit. After that we went back toward the RR tent area and were walking past the large picnic table area. We saw a few people taking some pictures, so we were like, oh I wonder what band that is. We got closer and I soon realized it was Smosh! Smosh, the two guys (Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox) from YouTube. Now, let me inform you that not only are these two absolutely HILARIOUS, but, you know the Pokemon video? Yeah, I saw that when they only had about 6 or 7 other videos. I've watched their videos ever since (about 3 years) and I've loved watching them and their talent and humor grow. So, back to the story, Becky and I were freaking out and pulled out the camera. When the 2 people taking pictures were done, we went up to them. I was expecting to take a picture right away so I kind of went right up between Ian and Anthony, but we started talking, so i was awkwardly in the middle of them LOL. Becky hugged Anthony then Ian, and I think I hugged Anthony, too, but I can't really remember. But we were like, ohmygosh, you guys are awesome! I can't believe you're here, this is so cool. And then I was like, yeah, we saw people taking pictures and were like, oh, what band is that? And then we were like, WOAH ITS SMOSH! And they laughed and were suuuuuper nice and funny and cute. Seriously, they're really cute. So then Becky asked if we could take pictures, so she took one of us, and I tried to make a silly face but I kind of ended up looking stupid. But that's okay. So then I took one of them with Becky, and MAN my hands were SHAKING something awful. It turned out a really nice picture anyways, and Anthony gave Becky bunny ears and I laughed. I handed Becky the camera and was like, "Nice one," to him. Then we thanked them and said bye and told them to enjoy their day. So yeah, that was freaking awesome. I looked at my photo super happily.
Then we had a bit of time to kill still, so we were just kind of walking around and some guy comes running up to us and is like, "Okay, this is my last day and my last CD I need to sell. If you buy it for $3 I'll give you all of these iTunes cards" and holds up 18 iTunes cards. Now, we thought they were worth 25 free songs OF YOUR CHOICE, but they were actually for this Warped Tour playlist thing. So, if anyone wants a bunch of free songs, I'll send you a code LOL. Because I have 9 cards left. So yeah, now I feel really stupid. So then finallyyyy Hit the Lights started to play. They were really fun and pretty intense, just like I remembered them being. I kept randomly smiling because i was thinking about how I had just met Smosh. Becky and I weren't that focused on watching HTL, but it was still really fun. We started looking through the pictures on her camera, and there was one of the drummer of This Providence, and he was stretching reallyyyy funny, and we both started laughing SUPER hard and hit heads and then we just laughed harder and then we bumped butts and it was just a really funny moment. And there was this guy in front of us, who was either drunk or really, really strange, but probably drunk, and he was dancing. And it was the funniest thing ever. There were people next to us who were video taping him and a bunch of people making fun of him. It was really amusing to watch. So yeah, Hit The Lights were really fun. Then we had half an hour until Every Avenue. Meg and Dia started on the Hurley.com stage, and I wanted to go check out Escape the Fate, but Becky was like, nooo let's watch Meg and Dia I've heard they're pretty good. So I stood there cringing a bit, because, no offense, whoever was singing was kind of really annoying. So after one song, or maybe not even, Becky was like, okay, yeah, they're annoying, we can go. So I was like, thank God. Becky was afraid ETF would be scary, but I'm like, nawww. We listened to a few of their songs and they were pretty good, wasn't paying that much attention though. Then we went BACK to the SmartPunk stage for Every Avenue. We were up really front, but on the very edge. I know basically the choruses to all their songs, and some other words, but they were really fun anyways. There was one point, where he was like, "I don't care if you're all, awww I'm tired i've been standing all day... I WANNA SEE YOU GO CRAZY" and becky and I look at each other and at the SAME TIME say, "my feet hurt". Like, EXACTLY the same time. It was amazing. But yeah, so after EA finished, we went to go watch 3OH!3 for a little bit. That same drunk guy was there dancing again, it was great. After a few songs Becky's dad called and said he was there to pick us up, so we exited the venue and were walking down the street to find him, and a guy litereally starts walking backwards in front of us and is like, hey will you guys listen to our band? And I'm like, oh sorry we really have to go, but he made me listen anyways. So then his bandmate comes over (who was like the funniest guy I've ever seen) and is looking at Becky's presale ticket, and literally bends over to look up at it and is like, what is this dealymabobbadoo, and we're like PFFFFT what? It's our presale tickets. Then I see him texting and I'm like oh I have the same phone as you, or a newer version, and he's like oh cool can we switch batteries? And I'm like, um no. And hes like why not? So I say, because if you asked it's probably not very good. And he's like no, I just want a different color. And I'm like ummmm mine has a sticker on it so I can't get it out sorry. And then he like bends over again and looks up and my bracelets and is like ooooooooooooh what are these can I have one? And I'm like ummmmmmmm and the first guy is like what about me and another bandmate had come over and is like what about me and I'm like AHHHHHHH. But I ended up giving the really funny guy a I Love Boobies bracelet I had picked up during 3OH!3. And I was like sorry that's all I got to give away. So then they really wanted us to buy their CD and I was like oh we just got these itunes cards we'll buy it when we're home and they were like noooo please. And after Becky and I argued I finally made it seem like she had more money than me and they were like BUY IT PLEAAAAAAAASE, we have a 40 hour drive back to Michigan help pay for our gas (and the funny one was like, or you could take us to dinner!). I finally gave them 5 bucks from her money and she was all mad and they were like awww come on. And then the funny guy walks around and taps my shoulder and is like, hey, if she says you owe her anything, you just call me and let me know. I'll set her straight. So, that was a really funny, interesting, spastic encounter. But then we finally found her dad and got in the car. And I couldnt. Feel. My. Feet. THEY HURT SO BADLY. But anyways, it was overall a fantastic day and a wonderful experience for my first Warped Tour. I hope and can't wait to go to next year! :]

July 9, 2009|||[Secretly I always want to see you cry]||| +++Kyle Burns Fanfic+++ [18]YAY! New chapter, as promised!!!! :D For once.
Yeah, I had bought lots of beer, but it was never for me. I had vowed not to drink at the beginning of this crazy-ass party. But I think my downfall was when I asked Kyle to get me a drink. He definitely gave me some kind of alcohol, but that was not what I had asked him for. "Kyle, whaddid you gimme," I slurred as I stumbled while dancing and fell into him. He steadied me and laughed, drunk himself. "Dun get me wrong, Frankeeee, yer fun, but I wanted t' see you drunk," he answered happily. I took another swig of my drink. "Fugyou," I said back at him. The music was real loud. I'm shocked the neighbors haven't complained yet. I decided to go dance around the apartment to see what everyone else was up to. Everyone was dancing, so it wasn't that great of an idea. But I'm drunk. What do you expect of me? I danced with Kent and Zack for a bit before finding Karyn and dancing with her. She was drunk too. Hell, we were all drunk. Jack noticed Karyn and I dancing and came over to admire. "Shitttt women are hot," he slurred out as Karyn stuck her butt out purposely in front of him. I laughed as Jack took over dancing with Karyn. I continued dancing over to Anne and taking her hand to lead her away from Jonathan and Rian to dance with her. "This is really fun!" I said to her. "WHAT?!" she screamed back. "I can't hear you! The music is real loud!" "Huh? Oh, THIS IS REALLY FUN!" I screamed into her ear. Just then Alex came running between us screaming, wearing just his boxers and shoes, and holding a bottle of beer. Jonathan soon followed, thankfully wearing clothes. He had one of my dishtowels tied around his neck like a cape and had a bottle of beer in one hand and a tambourine in the other. Anne and I exchanged confused glances, but then continued dancing. "I thingk you should go talk t' Austin," I screamed in Anne's ear. "You thingk?" she slurred back. "Yeah! Go 'head," I pushed her over to him. They started dancing together and I smiled at myself before taking another sip of my drink. This stuff is good. Just then someone grabbed my butt and I spilled a bit of my very good drink. I turned to see Kyle and Caleb behind me laughing. "Come dance Frankeeee," Caleb beckoned me over to them. I smiled and slid over to them, placing myself between them as we danced some more. Needless to say, we got pretty sweaty. I was thoroughly enjoying myself. I hadn't had a sandwich this good since that Tuscan Chicken Melt at Subway last week! Kyle and Caleb are really tall. Especially compared to me. Wait, I'm not that short, am I? I wonder how stupid I look. Am I clumsy dancer? I think so. Plus I'm drunk. Why am I thinking all of these things? I've been drunk before, right? Kyle's a fantastic dancer. In my opinion at least. Maybe that's biased. Probably. Kyle's chest is smushing my boobs. I think that's his intent. Probably, knowing men and their ways. That makes me feel exposed. But I love Kyle, so that shouldn't matter. On the other hand, Caleb seems to be having fun with my butt. I would be bothered by some man other than Kyle doing that, but Caleb's gorgeous, so I don't mind. Besides, we're dancing. It's a party! But I do feel sweaty. It's hot between these two hotties. Hahaha, hot between the hotties. I made a funny! O.K. I think Franky needs some air. "I think I need some air," I said to Kyle and Caleb. I squeezed myself out from between them. Kyle caught my waist and pulled me in again. I laughed and leaned up to kiss him, but then broke free again and stopped them from taking me. "I NEED AIR! I'M REALLY HOT!" I screamed defensively. "You sure are hot, Franky. That is very true," Caleb said to me as he stumbled. "Thanks," I said, steadying him, "but I mean like, temperature wise, I'm HOT!" I tried to clarify. "Ohhh, I get it. Like, fire-hot, not sexually-attractive-hot," Kyle said, more to Caleb to me. "Ohhh," Caleb understood it as well. As I went to the door I passed Marc and Jonathan arguing over what to put on next. I opened the door and went to lean out over the railing and breathe. As refreshing as the night air was, I don't think and clean air could clear my head at the moment. Too much alcohol. I'm regretting this in the morning, just you wait and see. I took another swig of my... drink, and looked at the cars zooming by on the street. I tried to listen to them, too, but the loud music behind me was... loud. Plus, Marc and Jonathan kept switching the music. It was giving me a worse headache than I already had. I wish they would just agree on something and deal with it. I heard the door open and Kyle came out and stood beside me. I leant my head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around me. "Hiii baby," I said softly to him. "Hey, gorgeous," he replied, kissing my forehead lovingly. We stood there, together, for a minute or so. "I'm really going to miss you," I said, quietly again. "I'm going to miss you, too, Franky. But let's not think about this now. Let's have fun on our last night together, okay?" Kyle said to me. "Okay," I agreed, smiling. Yes, let's have fun. Not weep and mope. And right on cue Karyn and Jack burst open the door. "Come onnnnnnnn guys, get yer asses back in hurr!" Jack yelled at us. "We're coming, we're coming," I said as Kyle and I turned and slowly walked toward the door. "We're gunna play spin the bottle!" Karyn said with much excitement. I laughed softly to myself. "Dun worry, it's just going to be pucker-and-contact, nothing more," she assured us. "I'm not sure if Kyle's going to like me kissing some other guy..." I hesitated (jokingly, of course). "I'm not sure if Franky's going to like me kissing some other guy..." Kyle contradicted. Drunkenly. And I nearly burst some internal organ giggling at his drunken mistake. "Actually, Kyle. I wouldn't mind that so much," I took advantage of his blunder. "Aww, did I really say some other guy? Damn," Kyle chuckled. We sat down in the circle that had already formed. Jonathan found one of the many empty beer bottles and put it in the center. "I feel like I'm in middle school again," I said to Anne. "Haha, do you remember when you liked Johnny? And we went to that party and the whole spin-the-bottle thing happened?" Anne laughed at the memory. "Oh yeah!" I remembered what she was talking about. "And when I spun it totally landed on Greg but Johnny moved it so it pointed at him? Ah, that was perfect!" I laughed. "Shhh!" a drunk, still pantless Alex hissed at us. "Sorry!" I mouthed as I turned to focus on Jonathan, who was spinning the bottle at the moment. We watched it go around until it landed awkwardly on Zack. "I feel like the fact that we only have 3 women is seriously dampening the accuracy of this game. He should go again," said Zack hastily. "WHIMP!" "PUSSY!" "CHICKEN!" "DOUCHE!" Various insults were thrown at him to guilt him into standing up and leaning down over Jonathan so they could peck real quickly. They had barely even touched, but Zack wiped his mouth off fast and took a swig of his beer. The game continued on like so. Karyn happily landed on Jack. Well, the bottle did, but she soon did so, too. Quite literally. I enjoyed watching Caleb spin. It landed on Kyle. I tried not to fantasize too much watching their lips touch momentarily. Anne spun and the bottle pointed at Alex. Alex, drunk as all hell, shut his eyes and puckered for her. Anne kind of scooted in his general direction, but didn't look too thrilled to make contact with Alex's beer breath. Alex opened his eyes to see what was happening. Anne was taking forever and finally Austin took matters into his own hands and kissed her. Everyone cheered and Anne relaxed into it. Alex made a frowny face since his kiss got stolen and turned to Jack, whom he attempted to kiss. I laughed. As my turn came around, Kent and Jonathan were teasing Kyle that the bottle would totally land on one of them, and they would finally get a sweet kiss from me. I smiled at Kyle, bit my lip, and spun the bottle. It went around, and Kent and Jonathan couldn't sit still and watch it. It slowed and eventually came to a stop. It pointed at Kyle. I felt a huge grin come across my face, and I crawled across the circle to Kyle. He was sitting criss-cross apple sauce, waiting expectantly for me to arrive in front of him. I did, then leaned forward to peck his lips. As I pulled away from the kiss, Kyle grabbed me and pulled me in again, forcing his tongue between my lips. I heard various woops and cheers and "That's against the rules!" as Kyle and I enjoyed ourselves. Finally Marc hit Kyle on the back of the head, and his forehead bonked mine and I finally sat back. "Mmmm," I said, licking my lips. "Ow," Kyle said, rubbing his forehead. "Can we please get on with the game?" whined Rian. "Alright, alright, keep your pants on," I said as I crawled back to my spot. I saw Alex look down and a bewildered expression crossed his face as he saw that he had not kept his pants on. I was very amused. Though I slightly hoped everyone else really would keep their pants on. I didn't want anything strange or awkward to wake up to in the morning. Really.
I feel really awkward when I use people who actually have girlfriends in real life. It makes me feel really creepy. :|

June 29, 2009For The Higher Tour [6.23.09]Yay! Okay, so the line up was Three Date Theory, Takota, The Photo Atlas, Runner Runner, and The Audition. Oh, on a side note, there were a lot of pictures and I don't feel like posting all of them, so there's going to be a bunch in here. Just so you know. We were running a little late and got there like, AT 6:30. Unbeknownst to Becky and I, my dad went to go get us burgers before the show. Hahaha. Anyways, it was a LOT less crowded than Saturday, so that was nice. I had fun taking pictures of Becky.
We got in and found spots on the far RIGHT this time, against the stage. Right in front of the OTHER monitor, whom we named Jeffery. Just saying. Becky and I brought ear plugs this time because she was freaking out about the last concert and her ears and yeah. So, Three Date Theory was first, and they were clearly very new to playing shows. You could barely hear the vocals, so it was kind of hard to listen to, but they were clearly having the time of their lives so good for them. Plus, the guy's parents were there and they were seriously stoked. His mom was sooooo cute! She danced and screamed and had a blast. :] Then Takota came on. They were okay. You could still barely hear the vocals. Either way, they weren't my favorite. After they played The Photo Atlas came on. They were okay, but the singer is hard to stand. I started laughing because, with the combination of the vocals being quiet and the earplugs, i could barely hear the vocals of the last two bands, but with THIS band the vocals were ALL i could hear. It wasn't that fun to listen to, in all honesty. My dad sends me a text saying the first three bands were terrible and that we should have come at 9. Well, oops. Then Runner Runner starts setting up and sound checking. Jon was being stationed right in front of us and was very nice. We really were going for Runner Runner, so Becky and I were super excited! Apparently there were some issues with one of the guitars, so it took them a while to get going. Jon's like, "See, the thing about Runner Runner shows, we never really play. We just stand here and look really cool." I say, "Well, see, we've already seen you play so that doesn't really work..." Jon says, "DAMMIT!" and laughs. Anyways, they finally started playing and started off with "So Obvious," and Becky and I started singing along and dancing. Jon noticed us singing along and bent down to sing with us. Aww, he's SO sweet! Then they went into "She's My Kind of Girl," and Becky and I were a little disappointed because we didn't know that one well since we had only heard it once or twice on their MySpace. But we had fun anyways and i took that oppurtunity to take photos. Jon sweats a lot. He sweat on my face first, then later he sweat on my camera and my hand! Kind of gross, won't lie. After that song, Ryan asked if they should play "Hey Ally" or "Dedicate" and Becky and I screamed for Dedicate, because we knew that one, but they went with "Hey Ally," another song we didn't know well! Then they played "Unstoppable," which we didn't know. But they ended with "The Breakup Song," which was IMMENSE fun and Jon sang with us again :]. It was sad they only played 5 songs, but the technical difficulties got in the way. They were amazing though, and TONS of fun! Oh, ahahaha, there was this group of 4 guys on the other side of the crowd who were INSANE! They danced and jumped and SCREAMED the words the ENTIRE time, it was hilarious! Then Jon was packing up some stuff, and Becky and I were talking and he asks, "So did you guys have fun?" We're like YEAH IT WAS SO MUCH FUN YOU WERE AMAZING! And then the song that was playing on the speakers was really fun, so Becky and I started dancing a little and Jon joined us. It was fun :]. He's so sweet! My dad just loved them. He went with us to the Owl City concert where they played, and he just thinks theyre amazing. He comes up next to us REALLY WIDE-EYED and does some weird motions and i figure out he's asking if they're signed. I shockingly inform him that no, they are not signed, and he is astounded. He thinks they're going to be HUGE someday. They will be, for sure. They really have some talent and their music is tons of fun, even the songs we didn't know. Please, go check them out! http://www.myspace.com/runnerrunnermusic
Okay, so then people started sound checking for The Audition. I only knew a few songs, but I was still really excited. They came on with "My Temperature's Rising" and played a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE set, about 16 songs i think they said?!?! Anyways, Danny is a great front man. Really. He played by himself acousticly for part of one song. Haha, and once he leaned over us so a girl could get a REALLY close up picture of his FACE. And he loved those four guys who were having a blast dancing like maniacs. He said everyone should act like that, hahaha. Once, someone was telling him what to do, and he was like, hey, what if i came to your job and was like, "GIMME THAT FUCKING STAPLER PLUNGER THINGY"?!?!. It was curious xD. At the end he had us all scream "FUCK YEAH" as loud as we could before they would leave the stage, hahaha. Anyways, the songs I knew were: -My Temperature's Rising -Warm Me Up -The Way You Move -Love With a Motive -Make It Rain -Don't Be So Hard
Claire, you better love me for this. It was possibly THE most awkward thing I've ever done. Okay, so first, I'm about to walk up to him and I start saying something and someone from another band cuts in front of me and talks with him. It was strange. Then when he went away, Danny was just kind of standing there and I awkwardly approached/hugged him. Then I was like, umm hi, okay, so this is kind of awkward to ask, but could I just get a little video of you saying hi to my friend Claire and saying that she rocks? You're her favorite band so that would just be awesome... And he was like, yeah, sure of course. So I turn it on, and I'm like, okay it's going, and he STARTS TAPPING MY CAMERA AND I WAS LIKE WTF?!?! Anyways, so we got the video done, I was just kind of like, okay thanks that's perfect you'll make her day BYE! And just kind of walked away. Becky said nothing the entire time and just left with me LOL. SOOOOOOOOOOOO AWKWARD. I'M NOT USED TO MAKING A COMPLETE FOOL OF MYSELF SO CLAIRE I HOPE THAT MADE YOUR WEEK AT LEAST! Then we FINALLY got to say hi to Nick. We hugged him and said basically all the same stuff as we did to Peter. Just the same babbling. AND HE NOTICED MY NECKLACE TOO and i was like, THANKS, i got it from you at the last show! Then at the end of our fun chat he was like, aww thanks guys and hugged us again. So YAY, they were all so sweet! Too bad we didn't get to see Jon though, he was SO nice onstage! So, bottom line, it was a fun night. The first bands I could have lived without, but it was definately a better night than had we just stayed home or something. My dad still couldn't believe RR were unsigned. They will be massive someday. ONCE AGAIN, CHECK THEM OUT IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THEM, THEY ARE FABULOUS! http://www.myspace.com/runnerrunnermusic

June 28, 2009|||[Secretly I always want to see you cry]||| +++Kyle Burns Fanfic+++ [17]SHIT GUYS. I'M SO SORRY. I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE I'VE UPDATED!
"Fuck," I hissed as the bar of soap slipped out of my fingers. I bent down to pick it up and the water beat directly upon my head. I don't usually shower at this time during the day, but we're having a giant party tonight before FTSK goes off on tour. So I need to be clean before we start partying. I turned the water off and grabbed a towel. I dried my face and stepped out of the shower. Naturally, everyone decided to throw the party at my apartment. How could I have possibly expected otherwise. I wrapped the towel around me and made for my room. I threw on some clothes, because I wouldn't need to get ready until later. I still had to go out and buy stuff for the party. Marc and Kent were coming with me. Thank god for the help. Then Karyn and Anne were meeting me back here to help set up.
Now that I had all the drinks and snacks and stereos set up for later, I could finally start getting ready. I heard a knock at the door, however, before I could safely go into my room to start. I opened the door and was met with brilliant kiss. "Hello, Kyle," I smiled up at him. "Hi, Franky! I thought I'd come a little early and help pwn," Kyle said. "Um, thanks?" I said, closing the door after him. "Like, help pwn by helping set up," he explained. Ah, we speak normal human being now. "Well, everything is pretty much done. I'm just going to go finish getting ready, but feel free to eat something." "Aight," Kyle said, dropping the... lots of stuff he had brought, I noticed. I shrugged it off and went into my room. I dug out my flat iron and plugged it in before finding my make up bag. I had no idea what to wear yet, so I figure I'll start with this first. I'll probably just end up wearing jeans and a nice top or something anyways. Since I still didn't know what I was wearing, I figured I'd go with some pretty simple make up. I applied black eyeliner to keep it safe and easy, then didn't feel like putting make up on, so I picked up my flat iron and began with my hair. My hair's relatively straight to begin with, so I didn't need to do much. I nearly burned my ear and decided my hair had been scorched enough, so I yanked the cord out of the wall and set it down to cool off. Then I sighed and realized it really was time to finish my damned make up, so I picked up my mascara. I began applying it, fighting the urge to open my mouth as wide as possible and failing. I switched to the other eye and noticed in the mirror when the door opened a crack and someone's arm slipped something onto the hook on the inside of my door. I frowned and closed my mascara, then set it carefully down in front of my mirror. I walked over to my door and looked at what was now hanging there. It was a navy blue protective clothes bag. I lifted the hanger off the hook and laid it down on my bed curiously. Very suspiciously, I unzipped the clothes bag all the way to the top and slipped the clothing inside out of it. And was stunned. Inside was a gorgeous dress. It was short, just above knee-length, and was, in all honesty, quite simple. But it was lovely. It had skinny black straps at the top, and its black material looked very tight-fitting. I hoped it would be flattering on me. The dress was perfect for tonight. A short, black, dance party dress. I wondered how much it cost. And who the hell bought it! I stripped off my clothes and slipped into the dress. I zipped up the side zipper and smoothed the dress down. I turned to look at myself in the mirror. Not to toot my own horn, but beep beep! I looked damn good! I turned and admired the tight fitting black dress. It really just made me look absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. I finally tore my vain self away from my reflection and finished getting ready. I thought about heels, but then also figured I'd be dancing a lot and would want sturdier shoes. Plus, the dress was pushing it a little bit, and heels would make it far too fancy. So I went for slip-on Vans. Just because. I took one last look at myself before taking a deep breath and opening my bedroom door. Kyle was sitting on the couch with Jonathan, talking. They looked up when they heard my door open and both stopped everything and gaped. I smiled. "You like?" I asked, spinning for them to admire the whole of me. "Do I like? Shit, I -" Jonathan started, but Kyle slapped his hand over his mouth and glared. "Don't go any farther, bro," he warned. I snapped my fingers to regain their attention. "So what do you think, Kyle?" I asked, wanting a genuine answer from him so badly it hurt. "What do I think?" he asked thoughtfully, settling back in the couch. "I think you're the most damn attractive thing I've ever seen. I'm not even sure how you're possible. No syke." "Really?" I asked, very quietly. "You think that?" Kyle stood up and walked over to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and butt. "Of course," he whispered before kissing me passionately. "Mmm," I moaned into his mouth. "Now, now, kids. Can't you wait a little bit before you see how good that dress looks off of Franky?" Jonathan complained. I giggled into Kyle's mouth and extracted myself from him. "Hey now, don't be putting any ideas into this boy's head," I warned Jonathan, patting Kyle's butt playfully. "Aww, come on! I went to all this trouble to buy her the dress! The least you could let me do was enjoy her in it!" Kyle whined. "You bought this for me? All by yourself?" I asked him, bewildered. "Yeaaah," he said, looking down at his shoes and twisting innocently. "Well, I had to ask Anne and Karyn for help because, well, I've never exactly gone shopping for dresses before..." "Kyle! You shouldn't have done that! Really!" I exclaimed. "I would have been fine wearing something I already had!" "Yes, but I wanted to do something nice for you. And it just seemed like a logical thing for me to do at the time." "Aww, baby..." I said before we kissed again. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he held my face. I couldn't resist my longing and began running my hand through his hair. "Wow, really...? They better not suck face all night..." I heard Jonathan mutter to himself. I smirked but continued exploring Kyle's mouth with my tongue. But we were rudely interrupted when there was a knock at the door. I pulled away from Kyle and sighed. He leaned in and kissed me again hungrily, but I laughed and tried to get away from him. He slammed into my lips again, and again I pulled away. "Kyle! Stop!" I laughed, running away from him. "People are here!" I giggled as he chased me around. I let him catch me and our lips collided again. I pulled away after a second. "Okay, now I really must get the door," I told him. I took his hands off my waist and placed them by his side. Then I carefully made my way to the door and opened it. I guess everyone arrived at relatively the same time, because a lot of people piled in to my apartment. Caleb, Rian, and Kent came in excitedly and made for the snacks. Anne came in on Austin's back and kicked playfully at me. Zack and Jack came in play fighting with Karyn closely behind. Lastly, Alex came in carrying a... few six packs. I shut the door behind him after he struggled through. He stopped to readjust his load before pecking my cheek and finding a place to put his beer. I shook my head as I thought about how trashed we were all going to be after tonight. Apparently Alex didn't trust my shopping, but I had definitely bought tons of beer.
NO PROMISES BUT I'LL TRY. Pahahahaha.

June 25, 2009What Happens In Vegas... Tour [6.20.09]Yay! Naturally it was tons of fun! Becky and I got ready and got to the venue early because (a) we had will call tickets and (b) we had early entry. So we waited outside for a while, luckily in what was the line for the box office for will call tickets. We had no idea, so that was convenient. Johnson and Cash kept going in and out of the venue, but we never went over to say hi. We could always see them after the show, plus, in all honestly, I wasn't dying to go over and meet them. They're amazing, don't get me wrong, it just didn't seem 100% necessary. Aaaanyways, we finally got to go in early and we friggin' ran to get good spots and ended up on the far left, against the stage and the wall. It was a beautiful spot. Except it was right in front of the monitor, which we later named Bubba. Bubba was our buddy that night :]. It was sold out, and I kept getting Twitters to my phone from Alex saying that we oversold and the FIRE DEPARTMENT had to come! HOLY SHISTA! After forever more of waiting, Anarbor finally came on. I've been listening to them for a little while, and they were really fun live! They played practically all of my favorite songs, so that was nice. Plus Mike was right above us and he was really funny and cute to look at. I absolutely loved their set. And Cash came in on the last song and played bass for a while. Here's a set list: -You And I Okay, so then after that, Eye Alaska sound checked and came on. In all seriousness, the lead singer of Eye Alaska scared me. He came on eating an apple and singing, then after he ate a few bites threw it on the stage and it went everywhere. Plus just like, on the stage he was creepy. Whenever he came to our side of the stage Becky and I shrunk away from him. *shudder* Anyways, the vocals were really quiet and I wasn't the biggest fan of this set. When he finally said it was their last song, Becky and I both said, "Thank God!" at the same time. Weird. After they left the stage, The Summer Set started to come on and set up. John, the guitarist, is really cute. Some girl asked him where the beach was and he was like, "It's right here!" and pointed down at the stage. I was like, ummm okay I don't really get that. And Becky was like, what? And John heard us and shrugged and said, I don't really get it either, but I just went along with it. How cute :]. Anyways, the apple was really bothering Becky and me, and we wanted someone to get it off the stage, and apparently we were talking loud again because John was like, what? So we started pointed at the apple and yelling "Get the apple!" So he like, looked around, saw it, and picked it up gingerly. Then he kind of, offered it to us and we were like "EWW NO!" So he kind of threw it at the drum set. I don't know :D. They played, and they were really fun, but the vocals were SO quiet! You could barely hear them. But I enjoyed their set anyways. Becky and I kind of struggled over John's guitar pick but she guilted me into giving it to her. Next, The Secret Handshake played. They were good, but there was a little to much synth on his voice for my taste. At one point he even jumped into the pit to dance with us though :]. At the end of that set I was starting to get a little bit of a headache, probably from lack of food and water. It kind of went away in between TSH and The Cab though. Hmmm, let's see, so after a while of sound checking (and a little bit of Bryan :]), the lights dimmed and The Cab came on! Yay! I've seen them twice before, and they are just fantastic live. Really, really fabulous, and I'm never disappointed! Becky and I were keeping an eye out on Bryan. New guy. We decided he was very, very cute and quite good and officially approved of him as the new guitarist :]. He kept coming up RIGHT in front of us, and the girl behind me was reaching as far as she could and said something to me, so I had her repeat it in my ear and she shouted, "TOUCH HIS BUTT!" So I kind of looked at her like, ummm what?, and she was like, DO IT! I was in perfect reach, so I kind of reached up and tapped his butt, so then we laughed. Alex DeLeon came over multiple times and totally grabbed and held my hand at least twice. I like being right in front of the stage :3. At the end he leaned over us, hair and all, so I for sure tousled his hair :]. Throughout the entire thing I tapped multiple butts (mainly Bryan and Alex, but they have nice butts, WHAT CAN I SAY!). I thouroughly enjoyed seeing The Cab play again, really and truly. Alex DeLeon is one of THE most talented men I've ever seen. He truly is just fabulous. He can really, really, really sing. They did a couple of songs with just Bryan and Alex, and came back later for an encore. OH HAHAHAHA i just remembered this! It was SUCH a small stage, so in EVERY set, the band members kept running into each other xD. At the beginning of The Cab's, Singer backed into an unsuspecting Bryan and nearly knocked him down, but someone offstage caught him. We laughed xD. Set List! (not exact order because BECKY HAS THE SET LIST >:|) -Risky Business
When Cash was leaving the stage, he ripped off the set list and handed it to Becky/me. I wanted it so bad, but Becky got it :|. AND SHE GOT THE GUITAR PICK TOO. NOT FAIR IMHO.
Afterwards, we waited around for merch to clear up a little bit. Once the owner started shouting, "EVERYONE GET OUT, THE CLUB'S CLOSED! UNLESS YOU'RE GETTING MERCH!" we decided to go over by merch. On our way into the crowd, we saw John from the Summer Set and went up and said hi. We explained that we were trying to get him to get the apple off the stage. He was like, why was it there? So we explained and he was all, ew, how strange, while he was singing? Anyways, he was a sweetie. He asked us both our names and hugged us each individually, then took a -sweaty- picture with us (but he didn't mind, cause he was sweaty too).
I went to Anarbor first because there was a larger crowd around The Cab. Greg was behind the table, and he was really sweet and he and their actual merch guy explained like, all the t-shirts to me xD. But I finally picked one and labored over if the medium was a good size or whether to go for a small. But they told me it looked like it would fit, so I handed him a twenty. Then I saw they had, *gasp*, BRACELETS! There were black, white, and green, and i just stuck out my wrists and was like, WHAT COLOR?! And Greg was like, um, wow. I decided on green, obviously, because I don't have a green one. Strangely, this bracelet is REALLY thick, and I'm not sure why, but its bigger than any of my other ones! Anyways, I almost handed Greg ANOTHER 20, because I forgot I already had.
So then after all that I went over to The Cab's merch, and Cash was there ^___^. Cool! I hung back for a while cause I had NO idea what I wanted, but then it was my turn, so I stoof there like umm until Cash was like, what would you like? And i was like, in a fake crying voice, I don't know! Uhmm, okay, what would YOU suggest? And he looks at the wall behind him and points at a t-shirt, so I'm like, okay, that one? Umm, I'LL TAKE IT! So the merch guy got me a t-shirt and Cash gave me my change and told me to take some CD and a flyer, and I thanked him and left :]. Of course I really, really wanted to see Alex D again, so we debated on where he would be and finally went outside. We found Bryan first and got pictures with him and told him he was great. He was really sweet and cute, too. :]
So then we waited around for a while and then we saw Greg from Anarbor again. We wanted to get a picture but he was talking to these girls forEVER. Then we found Alex DeLeon, but he naturally had a large crowd. So we were caught between the two for a while until some girls moved away from Alex. So we took their spots and watched as he squated down for a really short girl for her picture, then proceeded to give her a piggy back for another one. We were about to ask for a picture when some girl handed Alex her phone and told him to talk to her friend. He handled it well, haha. Anyways, we said hi and I took a picture of Becky with him. She was happy because he smiled in this one xD. Then I was like, MY TURN! And totally hugged him. Becky was having troubles so he kept changing his expression until she took the picture. It's so cute. He made a kissy face :P. For two seconds (cause I could see him out of the corner of my eye), I actually thought he was going to like, kiss my forehead! Haha, but it's such a cute picture. I thanked him whole-heartedly for everything before we let some other people have at him.
Awwww we're so cayooot :]. I'm obsessed with this photo! Okay, so then we went to try and find Greg, because, of course, he had moved by then. We saw him walking away, so we caught up with him and tapped him and asked if we could have a picture with him. He like, thought about it LOL. He said something like, ummm okay yeah. And I laughed and said, kind of? Maybe? And he's like, yeah! You can kind of take a picture with me. So Becky somehow managed to take it herself and get ALL of us in it! So we thanked him and let him go on his way.
So then we waited until Becky's dad came, and then we ran happily to the car and drove to Carl's Jr. for food :]. YAY! Overall it was a happy, happy night :D. Oh, wait, I nearly forgot... THE MERCH SHOT!

June 17, 2009BUZZVERSARY!!!!ONSNAP. It's 9:30 PM and I totally just realized it's my Buzzversary!!!! And I'm so tired, the only thing I can do to celebrate is put on a feather boa, throw Kylefetti everywhere, roll around in it, and take a picture as proof.
Kylefetti is not easy to get out of your hair, mind you. I was pulling Kyle out of my hair for the next 3 minutes! That's a sentence I never thought I'd say. Aaaaanyways, onto the gushy stuff. Honestly, I can't imagine what I'd be doing if I didn't have Buzznet. Neopets? Marapets? GaiaOnline? IMVU? Heaven forbid, Facebook? Heavens, I have no idea. But thank god I found this site. Not only have I found a passion for music and photography, but I've really gotten into both. I'm way more open and involved with both. I could go on and on and on about how much music means to me now, and every reason why it's so important, but I'm sure you already know and don't feel like reading it, and besides, I'm way not up to typing my heart out at the moment xD. Anyways, I've certainly turned into quite the crazy kid, haven't I? I'm into the music scene and I'm not giving it up! :D Buzznet has only been good to me. I love sifting through everyone's wonderful photos. The talent on this site is flooding over the sides of the cup! Jeebus, are ya'll talented! I get all the updates on what's happening in the music world. Buzznet is just amazing. Props to buzz. Then, here I go, the people. I have met so many fantastic people on this site. Some of you are my best friends. Fact. I don't know if it's sad or not that some of my best friends aren't the ones I know in real life, but the ones that live across the country, and, heaven-forbid, the ocean? Anyways, I'll rattle off some things about some of you guys. Autumn Lynn - Babe, you are my star. You shine with talent and fill every day with brightness. I love your passionate ways and views on everything. You're downright inspiring and proved to the world that, god damn it, people do exist in Kansas! :] I love you so much. Gracie - WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT YOU?!?!?! I know, still waiting around to get engaged, dammit! :] Not only did you get me hitched to Kyle Burns, but I swear, there isn't one conversation with you I haven't loved to pieces. Then again, aren't we always talking about sex, delicious men, strange dreams, gorgeous guys, sex, amazing dreams, sex, Kyle, music, sex... *clears throat* ANYWAYS, I love you to absolute death! You never fail to amuse me and have seriously brightened my year! Jessica, Boyana, Debbie, Kira, Gaby, Ana Clara, Claire, Alana, and eveeeeeeeeryone else I've ever contacted ever, I love you ALL! I love love love talking to all of you guys, and i love seeing all of your posts. And those of you who don't talk to me, WHAT THE HELL. WHY AREN'T YOU LEAVING ME NOTES?!?!?!? :] Drop me one! I'd love to get to know everyone! YAAAAAAAAY! I LOVE BUZZNET. WOOOOOOOO!

June 8, 2009|||[Secretly I always want to see you cry]||| +++Kyle Burns Fanfic+++ [16]WOAH. LIANA POSTED A NEW CHAPTER. I know it seems like a mircale, but bear with me here, people. I'm a mid-teenage crisis in the making. Anyhoo, enjoy!
Marc and I exchanged curious glances. "Um, what?" I asked. "Marc, you remember that tour in Europe we wanted to go on? Bro, we got it! We're going!" Kyle screeched. "WOOOOOOO!" screamed Marc, and I screamed too and high-fived him. I jumped up and ran to Kyle's open arms. He picked me up and spun me around. "OHMYGOSH THAT'S SO COOL KYLE!" I screamed as he finally put me down. "I KNOW RIGHT?!" "Ahhhhhh! How exciting! I'm so happy for you guys!" I beamed. "When are we leaving? When does it start?" asked Marc. "Well, it starts in a month. So, we leave in like, two days under a month," said Kyle. "Oh my goodness, YAY!" I screeched again. This was huge news for them. An international tour! "Jeez, so that's not a ton of time for people to buy tickets?" I tried to figure how this would all work out. "Well, they announced it today on the internet and everything," said Kyle. "Fans are pretty good at buying tickets right away," said Marc. "We wanted this tour, but we didn't know if we'd really get it, so short notice will just have to work I guess." "Ah, but yay! That's so amazing, babe!" I exclaimed again, hugging Kyle again. He was grinning huge from ear to ear. I loved to see him so happy. But then I suddenly realized that I certainly couldn't travel with them. So where does that leave me? I'm not really doing anything with my life at the moment, so what do I do for the month or so they're gone? My sudden distress must have shown on my face, because Kyle's smile faded for a second, then returned, but more reassuringly. "It'll only be for a month and a half or so, Franky. I promise it won't be so bad," he said. "Aw, no don't worry about me, I didn't mean to ruin your moment. I was just wondering what to do with myself while you're gone. I mean, everything recently has revolved around you and the guys, so I have no idea what to do when you're not here. I feel like you're my new life now. I hope I won't be lost without you." Well, that started out a lot more reassuringly than it ended. I didn't want to bring pity upon myself. Oops. Fail. "Franky! Baby!" Kyle said, lifting my chin up and stroking my cheek with his thumb. "It really won't be that long! I promise! You can kick it with Anne and Karyn! And we can video chat all the time. It won't be so bad, I promise." "I know, I know, I didn't mean to sound so helpless. It'll just take me a couple of days after you leave to get over it. I'll be fine, I promise," I tried to make him stop comforting me, it made me feel like one of those helpless girls who rely on their guys for every little thing and act dumb for attention. He smiled and kissed me lightly on the lips. I was content with a nice little peck, so I made to move my head away when he grabbed the back of my head and started using tongue. I eagerly replied until we had to break away and breathe. "Damn, I'm gunna miss that," Kyle said softly and quite out of breath as he looked into my eyes. "Good to know I won't be the only one suffering from the long-distance," I answered, smiling. "Mmmm," Kyle said as he moved back in for another kiss. "Guys! I'm still here! I've been here!" exclaimed Marc, waving slightly to emphasize his point. Kyle and I swung our heads around to look at him. "Oh," I said. "Our bad," said Kyle. I swung my head back around to look at him. "Our bad? You're the one who started getting into it!" "But you were clearly enjoying it!" he fired back. "Yeah, but it still wasn't my idea!" I flung whiny tones at him. "But you didn't stop me!" he kept denying the truth. "BECAUSE YOU TASTE REALLY GOOD, DAMMIT!" I yelled back. Following my outburst was a strange silence where we all kind of looked at each other. Then we just broke out laughing. "But...it's so...so...it's so true!" I gasped for air. Kyle recovered and wiped at his eyes. "Well, it's not my fault I'm so irresistible!" he said. "LIES!" I laughed back. "It's really not!" he denied it. "Kyle, come on, how long do you spend on your hair in the morning?" Marc laughed. "Hamurghh," Kyle mumbled something quiet and incoherent. He looked down and twiddled his thumbs. "What was that?" Marc asked, cupping a hand around his ear. "Half an hour," he said, not looking up. I slapped his shoulder. He recoiled and said, "Forty-five minutes." Marc threw an empty cup at his head. "OW! Okay! Fine! Forty-five minutes to an hour!" "And you say it's not your fault you're so irresistible! Humph!" I grumbled, crossing my arms and sitting down in my chair again. "I just wanna impress the ladies!" he shrugged. "The ladies? What ladies?!" I asked. "Well..." Kyle began. "KYLE!" I exclaimed. "Okay, okay, the lady! Jeez!" he fixed his sentence. "That's what I thought," I said smugly, picking my cards back up. "It's your turn, lady-killer," Marc said to Kyle as he picked his cards up, too. "Oh, sweet," Kyle said, sitting down, picking up his cards, and drawing two more. He made a face as he contemplated what to do. He started putting a few cards out. "So... does it work?" he asked as he worked his way up to his pile's card, a seven. "Does what work?" I asked back as he used a king for a six. "My hair. Does it impress you?" he asked, glancing quickly up at me before going back to his seven to put it out. "Are you kidding me, Kyle?" Marc asked. "Everyone knows she's been obsessed with your hair forever!" I kicked Marc under the table. He made a face at me as he absorbed the pain. "It's true," he glared at me, leaning down to rub his shin. "Well, his hair is rather fluffy and gorgeous..." I said, looking at the lovely peroxide locks. "Well, I'm blushing!" Kyle said, covering his heart in mock-pride. I slowly reached up to touch his hair, pretending it was something rare to be handled with care. I was an inch away when Kyle jerked his head away and slapped my hand down lightly. "Nuh-uh! No touchy!" he said. I jumped back and brought my denied hand to my mouth, biting nervously on my nail. "I just wanted to touch it!" I giggled innocently. We all started laughing again. "Well, we all know you've done more than touched it, Franky!" Marc laughed. "What's that supposed to mean?" I glared. "Oh, you know..." Marc trailed off as he picked up his cards nonchalantly. "Oh, come on, you couldn't possibly relate this to sex, Marc," I said, rolling my eyes. "You know, he could," Kyle said thoughtfully. "Whaaat?" I asked. "Well, don't be ridiculous, Franky. We've all seen your hands in his hair when you're making out. It's no big guess as to whether you do it during sex or not," Marc stated. I felt myself blush furiously. Why must my weaknesses always be so obvious? It's not my fault his hair is so irresistible! Really? I feel like we've just gone over this. I shut my brain up and returned to the conversation. "Okay. We're officially done with this conversation," I stated. I was so over trying to explain and figure out why Kyle's hair was so damn gorgeous. Can't we just let it be gorgeous? "Aw, don't be embarrassed Franky!" Kyle said cheerily. "Am not embarrassed!" I huffed, crossing my arms. Kyle leaned over and pecked my cheek. I smiled depite my "anger" and leaned back over to peck his lips. Kyle leaned in again for another kiss, but Marc slipped a card between us. "No more! Please!" he cried. I giggled as Kyle wiped off the card and handed it back to Marc. "Eww," he said, gripping it by the corner. "Kyle-Franky love-spit." I chuckled softly and we let the rest of the day go on.
I HOPE YOU LIKE MY STORY. IT'S FUN! :] Check out my June songs of the day journal! I update it every day. Please take a gander!

May 31, 2009Runner Runner, Owl City, & Relient K [5.26.09]FINALLY. IM FINALLY WRITING ABOUT IT LOL. Took me long enough, no? :] (If you click on the pictures they will be a LOT clearer lol) So anyways, Tuesday after school I took almost everyone home, minus Sarah, who came to my house later. But basically I took Becky, Robin, Caitlyn, Kari, and Sarah. And my dad :P. Once we finished getting ready and such, I opened Becky and Sarah's presents ^___^. Becky got me a REALLY funny card, a Kyle bracelet, and a The Cab shirt. Sarah got me a funny card and a couple of giftcards. Yaaaaaaaaay! So once we finally hit the road, we put on some Owl City and Relient K. I sang a lot :D. It actually didn't take to long to get there, considering it was kind of far away.
But it did take us forever to find a Mickey D's for dinner. A very long time, indeed. Anyways, we ate food (naturally) and got back in the car to find the venue. Pomona is really sketchy. Seriously. But we found the Glass House, which already had a MASSIVE line outside, and we were about an hour early. But no big deal. We parked and got it line. Actually, I had a lot of fun standing in line, seriously!!! My friends are so completely random, it's hilarious. And then if you bring my dad into the mix and gets even more hilarious. The girls behind us were laughing at us the entire time ^___^. I taught my dad how to play slide, which was... interesting. We all also played shoelookie. Haha, when the guy came around to give us warnings about what to take inside and such, he was going through his list like, "no professional cameras, drinks, pens, markers..." and my dad and I looked at each other like, markers?!?! Watch out, they're lethal! When we got around the corner, we were next to a van with a trailer. It had lots of "I LOVE ADAM YOUNG"'s in its dirt, so I decided to write "HOOT!" to add. I really hope it was Owl City's van, otherwise that would be embarressing lol.
Anyways, I saw a set list posted to a wall, and I realized that Runner Runner was also playing, lol. I had not been told this, and I've been all over the internet, and NOWHERE had said another band was playing! Runner Runner was a band I'd heard of, but never actually listened to. (Turns out I've been friends with them on Buzznet for ages LMAO). Anyways, we finally got inside. Becky and I rushed to the pit, then decided to go to the [sketchy] bathroom. We then ran back into the pit to keep decent spots. We quickly lost the rest of my friends, hahaha. But we devised a plan to buy merch, where Becky would stay while I ran out and bought some, then I'd hold our spots and she'd go out. I found my dad and did buy a Owl City shirt and a Relient K one. I shoved them in his hands, thanked him, and ran back to find Becky. We traded places and such, and she came back. The people in front of us were quite rude. Becky and I were excited, so we were quite loud. At one point, on of the girls whirled around and shouted in our faces, "THINK YOU COULD BE ANY LOUDER?!?!" and turned back around. I was like, jeeeeeeez chick, its a C-O-N-C-E-R-T! Yeesh! Becky told me (via txt) that earlier she heard the girl say to her friends "Gosh, those people are so annoying!". Whatever. She had issues. One of her friends gave us dirty looks the entire night, she creeped me out. Then her guy friend was txting THE ENTIRE TIME. IT WAS SO OBNOXIOUS. He was txting basically EVERYTHING that happened. Like, "sound check guy came on", or "they're putting up a screen" or "there's a small drumset and some keyboards" its like, WHO FCKING CARES BRO?!?!
Anyways, Runner Runner came on, and it was THE calmest crowd I've EVER been in! Jeebus! NO ONE was moving, at all. I swear, it was a strange little town. My dad and I discussed later and decided that, had the same exact concert been in LA, EVERYONE would have danced whether they knew the band or not. People in LA just appreciate music. I swear, the people there were just thinking, "we came for Relient K and that's all we're going to be excited for". Anyways, I at least swayed and rocked to their entire set. They were really quite good and fun! I learned the choruses to 2 of their songs DURING the songs, and sang along, lol. It was very fun, I enjoyed them a lot. Then there was a short break while Owl City set up. I was txted to wave my phone around so my friends could find me, so I did, and felt quite stupid. Anyways, they found me and stayed for about 5 minutes lol. Then they went back upstairs with my dad. Becky and I stayed in the crowd though. I saw crowd, because it really wasn't a mosh pit. I had ROOM to MOVE. That's not a mosh pit xD. Anyways, after seemingly AGES, Owl City came on! YAY! It seriously was amazing to finally get to see Adam Young in person. He is lovely. They started off with a dancey techno version of Hello Seattle to get everyone pumped. Well, you know, the people in the crowd who actually HAD emotions... Adam introduced everyone, himself, Austin (who was also doing keyboards and did a little guitar), and Mark (or Matt I dont remember lol) who was playing the drums. I really really really enjoyed listening to Owl City. I realize the majority is done via computer, but still, I loved every second of it. I was one of maybe THREE people who knew all the words to his songs, lol. The girl next to me was like, STARING at me as I sang along, it was creepy. But I enjoyed myself and stayed completely oblivious to everyone around me, minus Becky. He basically played all of my favorite songs, if he had played "Hot Air Balloon". Instead of playing that new song, he played one called, "Strawberry Avalanche," which I'd never heard before! I'm guessing it's going to be the June monthly single. I don't know, but it was UBER cute! Many references to fruit. It was adorable. ADAM YOUNG IS THEEEE CUTEST DANCER I'VE EVER SEEN. When he whipped out some majorly cute dance moves, everyone laughed and he smiled. It was adorable. He is so cute, in the way that makes me want to hug him and ruffle his messy owl feathers :].
Pahaha, it was funny, the beginning of Rainbow Veins, he let it play while his friends took a break, and was like "this is kind of a sing along, so if you know it, sing along!" I was practically THE only one singing, lmfao. I mean, someone else probably was, but no one remotely close to me xD. My dad texted me mid-set and told me that he and my friends could see me singing AHAHAHA. I guess I was really easy to pick out, being the only one singing/dancing. Pahahaha. All in all, i was REALLY quite happy to finally get to see Adam. Set List//I think: [may not seem like that many songs but keep in mind how long his songs are] Hello Seattle remix intro After they left, I sent my dad out by the merch area to see if Adam was going to come out. He never did, but my dad said he went back in once and saw Adam back in the VIP room. How sad, lol. But my dad was hanging out with Runner Runner for a long time. He was talking with the band and such. They were his favorite of the bands we saw that night. Anyways, Relient K came on after foreverrrrrrr. But it was nearing 10 (which was when we had to leave, it being a school night and the fact that most of the girls i brought didnt go to concerts much and their parents wanted them home). We got to see a total of 2 songs by Relient K. DEPRESSINGGGGGGG. But the second one was "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been", which was one of the few songs we knew all the words to by them, so that was happy ^____^. On our way out, we stopped to say hi to Runner Runner who was by the merch. Ryan, the singer, nearly got tackled by my friends. I felt so bad, they were so hyper lol. But he was really nice and took a nice picture with us. Once we figured out the camera xD. I also high-fived Jon, who was sitting on the table. They were cool guys. Once we were walking to the car, my dad goes, "Liana, look what I have for you," and pulls out A GUITAR PICK! From Runner Runner! I freaked out and would hardly give it back to him to put in his pocket. He said when he was talking with the band, he was asking them their name again and eventually one of the guys pulled out a guitar pick and handed it to him. Sarah told me today that, before Becky and I were out, he showed them the pick and said how happy he hoped it would make me. AWWWWWW, i love my daddy ^___^.
On our trek to the car, we passed Nick, whom I recognized from Runner Runner, so I high-fived him as well. Kari yelled at him "AMAZING JOB!" and we all laughed, because it was a really silly thing to say LOL. My dad was like, that was the guy i got the guitar pick from. So I have Nick's guitar pick :D. It's super cool, you can even see/feel where he used it!
So yep, we got back in the car and headed home. It was such a fun night, I really enjoyed it. Too bad it was a stinkin' school night though. But yes yes, tons of fun!!! Yaaaaaaaaay! :]

May 30, 2009They say it's your birthday.....It's my birthday too, yeah!!! :]
Well, anyways, as the majority of ya'll know, today is my birthday! Or...was, since it's almost over xD.
But, I mainly celebrated my birthday on Tuesday, at the Runner Runner, Owl City, and Relient K concert (WHICH I WILL POST A JOURNAL ABOUT TOMORROW, I PROMISE!!!!). Yesterday, Becky brought me a chocolate cake, AND IT SAID KYLE IN GIANT PURPLE LETTERS. HOW RAD. Becky and I later rummaged through ALL of my old VHS tapes. We pulled out at least 25 tapes, and ended up actually watching Aaron Carter, Pokemon, Veggie Tales, and Hercules. :] HOW KICKASS. IT BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES!!!! YOU DONT EVEN KNOW, SO MUCH FUN.
Today, when Becky and I woke up, she surprised me with KYLE-FETTI! Confetti, with KYLE'S FACE ON IT! :] How lovely. I opened all of my presents (I'll show pictures tomorrow, naturally), but I basically got 8 CD's, 2 DVDs, 2 seasons of CSI, 3 shirts, 2 bracelets, a giftcard to local malls, and a "certificate" to get a second ear piercing ^____^. I'LL SHOW PICTURES TOMORROW. I GOT SO MUCH COOL STUFF! I got many things from friends, too :3
AND GRACIE WROTE ME A ONESHOT WITH KYLE SO IF YOU HAVENT READ IT DO IT NOW ITS THE MOST FANTABULOUS THING YOU'LL EVER READ.
We went to Ruby's for dinner, and the waitress asked me if I raved a lot because of my bracelets.
Anyways, this year was a lovely birthday. Very, very happy. Couldn't have asked for much more, maybe except Kyle Burns wrapped in pretty pink paper....
*clears throat* Pushing all daydreams better kept in my head aside, thank you EVERYONE who wished me happy birthday! Thank you all so much! I love you all, I love Buzznet! :]
OH YEAH! TODAY IS ALSO LIDO BEACH DAY! HOW COOL! :] Lido Beach was formed 2 years ago ON MY BIRTHDAY! <3

May 23, 2009I feel like I'm losing my mind, with no concept of time //AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I JUST SAW THE NEW TERMINATOR. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. I've been a HUGE Terminator fan since I was tiny, and I've seen all the movies a jillion times, and the new one did NOT let me down. GO SEE IT NOW.
But the main reason for this journal is just for me. I'm really just stressed out right now. It's nothing in particular, just kind of LIFE. Life is really stressful for me right now. I don't know if anyone will actually read all of this, but it just feels really nice to let everything out and write it somewhere, and maybe someone will read it all. If you do, I'll really appreciate it. Okay, so school is winding down and it's just all really stressful. We just turned in a bunch of massive projects, and while that's relieving, I know we have finals coming up and that means lots of studying. Plus, with everyone graduating and finally leaving this damned school, tensions are just really high. Drama is on the attack no matter who I talk to. It's just ridiculous, I can't deal with girl drama. Honestly, I just can't. Most of my close friends know not to even bother me with their drama, 'cause I won't take it. Well, I'll be off to high school next year, and hopefully just being around new people will lessen the drama and such. I don't know, I'm just totally ready to move on. But, I mean, high school is a change I'm totally and completely ready for right now. Besides that, I feel like every corner I turn has a new change in store for me. It's driving me insane. I mean, here's something you need to understand: my brain doesn't shut up. Ever. No matter where I am, class, the car, laying in bed, my brain is always thinking. It thinks about everything. It goes over the past over and over and over again. Then it moves on to the future. I think about what I actually have planned for the future over and over again. Then it comes back around to decisions I'll finally have to face eventually. Damn, I hate transitions. I mean, over the past few months my tennis has been moving really fast. But I hated this place I was going to, to the point where I actually cried a little bit trying to make my mom understand how it felt. She made me try all these new places, and I've finally found i place i really like. I've only been twice, but it's so much better. But still, I hate new places. Even though everyone's friendly, still, the awkwardness of new places and things is piercing. I hope it will go away soon, this new place has a lot of potential. I want it to work out and I don't want to feel so intimidated anymroe. And then, as some of you might know, my horse was injured back in November. The months following have been really rough. I haven't really had anyone to ride, and then we found this horse Galliman who I've been riding for the past couple of months. He just got sent away again though, so I again have no horse. Even though Galli wasn't my perfect horse, I really got to know him, and knowing who you're going to ride before you get to the barn just takes away so much stress. I hate not knowing if I'm going to get a crappy horse to ride. Even though I knew I was going to ride Galli, recently I just felt like I've had no direction in my riding. As in no goals to move towards. I just felt like they had me come down and ride every week, just for practice. I didn't feel like they were teaching me anything, I was just a good rider and they'd have me ride to keep me being good. But that's it. I never knew if I was doing something new or if I was going to try and get towards something, because they never told me. Anyways, yesterday I tried out a new barn. I think I'm going to be switching to it, at least for a while. But once again, remember that brain that doesn't shut up? All it can think about is how awkward and strange it's going to be. I've been at the same barn for years. Forever. New place, new horses, new trainers, new people, new everything. I don't handle new everything very well. I hate not know where everything is, what is expected of me, what the rules are, where everything goes, what happens when. It stresses me out and I feel out of the loop. The people I met seem really welcoming, but this whole thing is going to take some getting used to. This is a huge change in my life. Life's been really emotional for me lately. It's come with all the rapid changing in my life that I haven't been able to handle. People tell me I'm strong because blankity blank didn't affect what I was doing. But they never know that whatever the blank was at the time really did affect me. I just try so hard to stay strong and determined and do my best at whatever I'm doing. I try not to let things get to me. It doesn't always turn out that way. Like, sometimes I wonder if people knew what went on in my head if their opinion on me would change. For example, everyone at school; they only know about what they see of me at school. They don't know what happens on my way home, at home, where I go, what I think, when I decide to call it a night. They hardly know anything about me. I wish everyone could just understand everything about me. Then I wouldn't need to explain why I like something, why I feel this way, why I love this thing. I don't know, it would just make my life easier if people weren't so eager to butt into my life and pry around to find some fault or imperfection. I feel as though with every action and every decision I make, I need to prepare an explanation because I know someone will question it. Then I need to explain myself and all my reasons. People just can't let things be. I think I've become really cynical. I've started to really doubt the human race in general. If we don't have a nuclear war and splode ourselves, and if the sun doesn't blow up or something like that, I think we will just hate ourselves to death. The need to judge others just astounds me. Everyone seems to put down and judge everyone else. It seems like no one will make a move to save something. Everyone knows the world is in danger. Everyone every day talks about saving the world and going green and doing little things to save the planet. But how many people actually go home and do those things? Very, very little. I don't know, I just really have lost faith in the human race in general. The Holocaust. How was that even possible? People can really be that sick? That inhumane? I swear, history repeats itself, and if anything like that repeats, I might just sit and cry for the human race. Bringing this thing back around to my own life. Sorry, I let my train of thought go offrail for a second -- couldn't stop it. But jeez, I've had the urge to go sit in my room and cry a lot lately. I just feel so overwhelmed. I wish I could just spend one day laying in the grass or maybe going to the beach and laying in the sand. Just listen to music and not have to think about anything. But that's ridiculous -- my brain won't shut up. If i do this before I finish everything I need to, all I'd think about is about how I'll have to do everything eventually. My brain needs to plan everything out in advance a hundred times to make sure everything is all organized. Like, and some things I need to wait to do, so I don't even know how to shut myself up. Jumping around now, I've had so much new music in the past three months it's ridiculous. I feel like half of my playlist is stuff I don't even know yet. But I love it. So much new music I get to listen to and enjoy. I think, come June 1, and only for the month of June, I'll have a Song of the Day. Maybe I'll just post a journal and update it every day with a song. It might just be a song that's was in my head all day, or maybe it'll have a deeper meaning. I don't know, you'll just have to wait and see. This brings me to talking about music in general. You know, it amazes me that someone can have an experience, write a song, and suddenly thousands of people are interpreting the song in a thousand different ways. The other day I was reading through one of my Atreyu booklets. Alex, in this booklet, explained his experience and why he wrote each song. But first there was an intro, and he talked about how he was going to explain what each song is about, but really, a song should be about whatever you want it to be. Sure, a person could tell you why he wrote a song, but you could listen it and it could speak to you differently. It could speak for your experiences, even though it's the same words. Isn't that just facinating? I don't even have to know a person or where he's coming from, and he could take the words right out of my thoughts and put them into song. Wow. Right now I'm going to an Owl City and Relient K concert on Tuesday. On June 20, I'm seeing The Cab, and Anarbor. August 23, I'm going to Warped. There's also Switchfoot, Green Day, and Blink-182 concerts coming up. I want to go to all of them, but I don't know if that's too much to ask for. Switchfoot tickets are honkin' $70! That's a lot, but I'm dying to see them. Then I'm wondering if I really need to go to Green Day and Blink. But I don't know if that matters -- I really want to go to both, but I don't know if that's going to be possible. So then I need to decide which of these three I'll actually go to. Bahhh. This brain... My birthday is next Saturday! I'm very excited! I'd talk more about it, but it doesn't seem to fit with this journal, so that will just be that for now. Just something else happening in my life. What else? Oh yes, photography. I really, really want to continue with my photography. My new high school doesn't have a photography class. How strange. I love photography. It's one of my passions in life. But I'm worred about that in the future, because photography can't be that great of a living. That makes me think of what I want to do in my future. I want to be a photographer, but I don't think that's stable. I love music. God, I can't play anything! I need to learn how to. Maybe I want to be part of a music magazine? But is that a stable job? Maybe I want to go into music business. Will I understand everything? Can I handle all the business junk? I just don't know, and that worries me. I wish I had my life all planned out. Like, I wish I knew where I was going in life. That would be nice. Maybe I would worry less then. You know something else I think about a lot? Love. I want love so badly. I want someone to love and to love me back. But I know I'm still young and I need to wait. But I always read about and hear about love. It seems so beautiful. I want it, too. It's hard to wait, even though I know it might take a lifetime. I'm a believer. I believe there is someone out there for everyone, absolutely everyone. I know I need to wait for that someone for me, but I think about him all the time. When will I know? Where? Will I ever actually meet him? Or will we just wander seperately our entire lives and never know? I'm full of questions, clearly. I wish I understood everything. The world. I wish I could wrap my head around the concept of how anything even happened. So, what, there was a giant boom and suddenly planets formed? I don't get it, when did existance just suddenly decide to happen? I don't get it. And then, the concept of space and the universe baffles me. It's so huge, and I'm so small. I feel like everyone needs to understand how important they are, but how is that possible when we have billions of people on this earth? We all pass hundreds of strangers a day, and they mean nothing to us. But they mean something to someone. It's hard to think about that. I mean, it's hard to tell someone they mean the world to someone when you don't even know for sure. Because most people don't know jack about them. How strange. My brain thinks in circles. Well, there's so much more I could write about, but I think I'll stop now. I probably won't even go back and read over this. If you've actually made it this far, I'm impressed. If you read all of this, thank you. I just needed to let everything out and have the hope that maybe someone will actually read it.

May 11, 2009|||[Secretly I always want to see you cry]||| +++Kyle Burns Fanfic+++ [15]WOOOOOOOOO NEW CHAPTER YAY. :DDDD Enjoy, me pretties! I only stayed in the hospital for a few more days since it was a fairly minor accident. Everyone came to visit daily at some point in the day. The boys in All Time Low actually dropped by once. Kyle practically lived in my hospital room. Until the nurses finally kicked him out, at least. I swear they all absolutely showered me in flowers and balloons. Marc and Austin even made a joint effort to buy me a giant, purple teddy bear. I'm not even kidding, they were so proud of it. "You can only have it if you name it something really cool," said Austin, pulling the teddy bear back against him. "Umm, cool as in, like, James Bond kind of cool? Or like, Esteban cool?" I asked, very confused. "The Esteban kind," clarified Marc. "Ohhhkay. How about..." I drifted off into thought. Austin was squeezing the teddy bear and rocking back and forth while Marc fixed the bow around its neck. "I got it!" I exclaimed. Marc jumped back to attention and Austin stopped rocking. "How about Herman-Seymour Kenickie?" "Nahhh, too long," stated Austin. "Okay, how about just Seymour?" "Hmm... OKAY!" decided Marc. He tried to take Seymour from Austin to give him to me, but Austin wouldn't let go. I sat there laughing as Marc tried to talk Austin into letting go of the fluffy purple bear. He was like a little kid, no joke! Marc finally convinced him to let go, telling him the whole reason they got the bear was to give it to me. He reluctantly let go and Marc gave me Seymour. "Thank you," I giggled, taking the bear and wrapping my arms around him. "We almost got you a pink one," said Austin. "Purple's my favorite color!" I exclaimed. "He's perfect!" "See! Aren't you glad we didn't get the pink one?" said Marc, nudging Austin. Austin grumbled and made a so-I-thought-pink-would-be-good-sue-me face. I chuckled and rubbed Seymour's ears. I looked at him thoughtfully as Marc and Austin stood there. "Awww, come 'ere you two!" I exclaimed. They smiled and leaned down for hugs. I kissed them each on the cheek and snuggled closer to Seymour. "He's just lovely, thank you guys so much! He cheers me up!"
I finally got to go home soon after. My arm was in a huge-ass cast, and I still had a giant scratch on my forehead. Whatever. It could have been worse. The guys had a fun time decorating my cast, I might add. They all signed it and drew doodles and such. It looked ridiculous, but they were so eager to write on it I just had to let them. You can't say no when they make cute faces; it's just impossible. Yet now I have a cast that looks like a third grade classroom scribbled all over it. Today was just another lazy day, chilling in my apartment. Some of the guys were out and about in Los Angeles, but in my "fragile condition," dare I quote Jonathan Cook, I was told to stay at the apartment. Naturally, Kyle stayed with me. Marc wasn't feeling up to walking around, so he stayed behind as well, but Anne went ahead with the boys. Karyn went to go hang out with Jack and the boys in All Time Low. As usual, Marc, Kyle, and I were all lounging around the living room, being lazy slobs. We had pulled out a few decks of cards and were now playing Spite and Malice, once I taught them how to play. I watched Kyle's choice of play skeptically, immediately catching his mistake as he made it. But naturally, I made no comment. Instead, as he discarded, I drew my card and started laughing. As I took advantage of his mistake and pointed it out to him, he cursed and rolled his eyes. "There's too much thinking involved in this game," he complained. "That's why we're good at it, and you're not," said Marc. I giggled as I cleared my hand and drew 5 more cards. I couldn't do anything, so I discarded and nodded to Marc. He was cleverly able to put out the next card on his pile. "See? Marc isn't struggling at all. He might actually beat me! It's all about planning ahead," I explained out to Kyle. "Oh yeah, thanks for telling me that halfway through the third game of the day!" he mumbled. His turn came and he drew another card. The ciiiiiiircle of liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife! It's the wheel of fortu- I raised a questioning eyebrow as Kyle dug around in his pocket for his phone. "The circle of life - ?" "Shh," he cut me off, embarressed. "I like it!" he explained before answering the phone. "Yo, Jonathan! Sup?...What?...No way!...Wait, so..." he discarded and pushed back his chair to go out onto the landing so he could talk in private. "Whaa?" I looked at Marc. He shrugged. "I have no idea. But I do know that it's your turn again!" he said. I smiled and rolled my eyes before drawing another card. I contemplated my next move and finally made one. Marc finished his turn, and then all we could do was wait for Kyle to come back. We got bored within a minute, so I taught him how to play slide. We were on 7 when Kyle burst back through the door. "...5....6...7..." I counted, but Marc got distracted and forgot to do the seventh. "Aww, Kyle you messed me up!" Marc whined. "What? Oh, sorry, but guys! You'll never guess what!" Kyle exclaimed.
This was kind of a transition chapter...so it wasn't all too exciting :] In other news, this'll be winding down soon. I'm starting to creep myself out again. And I like this story and want it to end well LOL. Otherwise I'll have to create a bunch of new dramatic events ^______^ Squeeee my birthday's in....*counts* NINETEEN DAYS! :O You should see my birthday list. What. A. Beast.

May 5, 2009|||[Secretly I always want to see you cry]||| +++Kyle Burns Fanfic+++ [14]OHMEHHHHGAHHHHH! ANOTHER CHAPTER. LIANA'S ON A ROLL, GUYS! WOOOOOOOO! Things were fuzzy. I tried to blink away all the blurry. My arm was absolutely throbbing. And something warm was running down my face from some scorching pain on my forehead. I could feel myself being lifted and strapped onto something. Then whatever I was strapped to began moving. Things began to spin back into focus. The first things I saw were sad, beautiful blue eyes. They were crying. I focused more and saw bright blond hair surrounding the face that the sad blue eyes belonged to. "Franky? Franky, baby, can you hear me?" "...Kyle?" I mumbled. "Yes! Honey, it's me! You're okay, you're going to be just fine. You were driving and you didn't see the --" "Kyle..." I stopped him. "I'm here, baby, I'm here," he cried. "Kyle, listen to me..." I tried. "I'm listening, Franky. Just stay with me, stay with me," he pleaded, gently smoothing my hair back and away my face. "I love you so much," I managed before I began to lose grip on those beautiful, blue eyes. My eyes closed and I heard him shouting: No! Franky! I love you, too! Please, come back to me! I'm coming, baby, I'm coming... I thought before I completely slipped out of reality and into the welcoming darkness.
I woke up to the steady sound of my own heart rate. I blinked until I could distinguish between objects. They were all one big blurry mess at first. My right arm was throbbing something awful still. And my head hurt like a mother. I couldn't move my left hand. I looked at it to figure out why, and actually smiled. Wrapped around my hand was Kyle's. And Kyle was fast asleep. He was sitting in a chair next to my hospital bed, leaning forward. Basically he ended up with his arms on the bed and his head resting on his arms. He looked absolutely ridiculous. But he also looked completely worn out. "Kyle," I jumbled out of my mouth. His breathing got caught up in something like a hiccup as he jerked awake. "Franky!" he exclaimed as he sat up and wiped the drool from his face. He pulled his chair up real close and caressed my face with his hand. "Ouch. Be careful, I'm fragile," I warned him as he accidentally trailed his fingers over what I could feel was a large cut on my forehead. "Oops, sorry baby," he apologized with a small smile. "Ugh," I moaned. "I feel like I've been hit by a truck." Kyle laughed a little bit. "That's because you have, silly girl." "Oh, shit! That's what the bright light was? Aw, hell," I whined. Kyle smiled as he stroked my hair. Then his face suddenly contorted a little bit and he began silently crying again. "You scared me so badly," he said very, very softly through his tears. "I'm so sorry," I tried, pained to see him so torn. "You just, run out the door and, run to the car. You drive off into the street and, and, oh God, I thought you were gone! Gone forever! The boys made me go back inside after a while, but I couldn't just sit there, so I took the car and tried to find you, and when I did there were police cars and an ambulance and," he choked. Tears were of course streaming down my face by now. He managed to continue, "And there you were, being pulled out of a wreck of a car and strapped onto a stretcher. And God, when you drove off before, my heart was torn in two, but at least I knew you were alive and going to stay that way! But you were, just, just lying there so helpless and bloody! Oh, my God, Franky. Don't you ever leave me again! Never!" he begged. "I'm so sorry, baby," I choked. "Come here..." I said, moving over to one side of my bed. Kyle climbed onto the empty space, and we leaned our heads together and just finished our tearful reunion. When we finally stopped, Kyle sat up and wiped his eyes. He turned to wipe my eyes and cheeks, too. "I love you so much," I whispered as he did so. "I love you so much," he whispered back with a faint smile. He kissed me ever-so-softly on my lips, then moved back into his chair. "Now, the guys were in the waiting room, but maybe the nurse went and told them to-" Kyle began. I stopped him, laughing. "I think they found their way to my room," I said, gesturing to the glass window. The rest of FTSK either had his face pressed to the glass, or was making a stupid face anyways. I giggled as they chuckled and moved away from the glass to come inside. Theirs was nervous laughter; they were clearly worried sick. "Franky! What the hell were you doing, girl?" asked Marc as they all filed around the bed. "Do you know the trouble you caused us all?" Caleb asked. "Yeah, we had to kick that Christian guy's ass out the door and away for good," said Kent. "Aww, you guys are the best!" I thanked them. "I'm so sorry, guys. It's just, Christian and I have such a complicated history, and I thought my life was finally going amazing, and poof! He shows up again. Bloody hell, I just got overwhelmed. I'm sorry." "It's okay. Just don't you ever, ever do anything like that again, little lady," ordered Jonathan. "Ugh, deal," I said. My head felt absolutely awful. I guess my groaning brought us back around to my situation. "I think they just said you broke your arm. That was the only main injury. I mean, of course you're scratched and bruised and beat up and such. But in terms of like, serious things, that's it," offered Austin. "Thank God," I said, relieved. "Hopefully I'll be the hell out of here soon." And with that we just chit chatted for a while. They found some more chairs and just lounged around for a while. Why did I go and do this? I asked myself as I realized what awesome friends I now had. These were my boys. They'd do anything for me. Even kick the ex-boyfriend's ass the hell out of town.
Boom boom boom boom! Iwantyouinmyroom. Okay, so, I'm going to Owl City and Relient K on May 26th. Probably going to Lido Beach May 22nd. Probably basically meaning yes. Going to The Cab June 20th. Probably; same thing applies. Can't go to Hey Monday though, it's on graduation day. But that's alright. It would have been funny if I could go to Hey Monday, though, cause then Lido Beach, The Cab, and Hey Monday would all be performing at the same venue. I lub you, my little lovebugs! And no, I'm not insane. Why?
