Hawkbot?

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?

HOLY PURPLE TURTLES.

THERE IS ONE BAND AND ONE BAND ONLY THAT I FREAK OUT THIS HARD FOR.

FOREVER THE SICKEST KIDS.

AND WHY AM I SPAMMING CAPS LOCK, YOU ASK?!?!?!

BECAUSE I JUST GOT AN EMAIL TELLING ME THAT I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST 30 TICKET BUYERS FOR MY SHOW ON DECEMBER 5TH AND HAVE MEET AND GREET SPOTS BEFORE THe SHOW.

I HOPE YOU ARE ALL FULLY AND COMPLETELY CONSCIOUSLY AWARE OF WHAT THIS MEANS.

I. GET. TO. MEET. KYLE. BURNS.

AGAIN!

AND GET MY STUPID PICTURE THIS TIME. DAMMIT.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now we're ending the inner-fangirl take-over.

I 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.

And Lucas:

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?

What 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.

It'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.

Warped Tour [8.23.09] LA

HOW 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.

Yeah. That's me trying to make a silly face. Don't judge :]

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! :]

Random picture of random stuff. Yeah...

Off I go...

To camp!

For THREE WEEKS.

:O OMGIZZLE.

Do know that I love you all and will miss you dearly...

BUT LEAVE ME LOTS OF GOODIES TO COME HOME TO :]

Spread the love.

See you July 31!

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. :|

A quick one while he's away.
