I couldn't sleep wednesday, even though i thought i was as tired as i could ever be. i felt like my excitement wouldn't hit me until the couple of hours before i had actually left to see chris but i was wrong. I didn't fall asleep until about 4:30, perfectly knowing that i would have to wake up at 5:30 and get ready to head to jesse's house for the rest of the day until jackie came to pick us up for the show.
I woke up and got ready and left my make up alone. I find that sometimes one's face needs to breathe for a couple of hours. I had finally arrived to jesse's house and immediately as we got there, we found ourselves asleep till about 12. Both of us had gone to sleep late and the only way to keep us from feeling like chris was boring us, which would never happen in a million years, would be to take a nap and feel perfectly well rested. After reading and watching him yell, "FUCK!" and, "STUPID OLD HAG WON'T MOVE FROM THE RAIL!" for about 20 minutes, we started to get ready.
"we're angry people who are happy together."
We left a little later than proposed but all was well and the car was filled with happiness until we realized that none of us knew where we were going...
We all scrambled to get our GPS systems on our phones to start working on getting us there, THANK YOU TECHNOLOGY, but we still failed to arrive even close to the time it was supposed to start.
Once we got there and saw that there was no possible way of finding parking, we resorted to the small man who was controlling the valet in back of the troubador. He ended up parking us in someone else's driveway for 15 dollars. what a jip...DAMN YOU FAKE VALET! But we made our way inside anyway.
We were surprised by the lack of young kids in the venue. It was filled with adults who looked like they once listened to dashboard when they were in their freshman in college days. It was great. I felt their maturity linger in me and we all felt very comfortable. Everyone had the greatest of times and were laughing. We headed up the stairs to watch the next opening band perform and we immediately found discomfort. It just wasn't our style and my cousin met me with a look of dissatisfaction, "i know why you brought me here. you wanted to torture me. didnt you?" I laughed and promised that i would never do such a thing.
Next thing I knew, the other act started to set up and we found ourselves cringing at the sounds of the guy's voice. It was highly irritating which makes me not want to talk about it anymore.
After much more waiting and have to deal with musicians who didn't really suit our likings we found ourselves on the side of the stage waiting for chris carraba himself, and to our surprise, yet lack of surprise, we found him right there waiting for us...
and you should know that i was very much as apart of the crowd singing along than anyone else...
the drive home was much more comforting as our ears still rang and our heels were resting from holding our singing, happy bodies up. as soon as we got to jesse's house i changed into my pajamas and pulled out my book. I wasn't up for watching movies or doing as many fun things that we said we would do once i slept over. As soon as we were home, we both fell asleep. We woke up around 12 to find ourselves in a rush to get ready because of the fact that jesse had to leave to work at 2:30. which also meant that I had to stay at his house, ALONE for an hour with no one to keep me company. None of it made a difference though, the happiness from the night before still hadn't worn off.
