Ok, this song is such a guilty pleasure, lol. I hate the lyrics, because they're completely materialistic and lack any depth, but the beat has got me hooked to this song! I'm also pretty sure she'd be an awful live singers, because the use of auto-tune is blatantly obvious. Even still, I can't stop listening! OMG.

1. Ok so the Owl City concert was a dream come true. For one thing, I saw ticket prices the week before were no less than $100, and my mom still ordered them. It's funny, because 2 weeks before the concert, she was like, "well we'll just have to catch him next year" and "we can't afford to spend $200 on tickets." :) I love my mommyyyyy.
So. Mom and I got to pass the line because we ate at the HoB restaurant. When we got in the concert hall, I made a bee-line for the stage and ended up standing front and center (I was probably the 7th person to enter the room). I met a couple of cool cats next to me, and we gabbled about how excited we were and how we wanted to touch the keyboards and touch Adam Young's hand, etc.
When the concert actually started, Brooke Waggoner came out and blew me away with her talent on the piano. That girl has got some nimble fingers! :) So she played a few songs, then started packing up her stuff. While she was packing, it was so cool because she would talk to us at the front (though it was kind of embarrassing because the girls next to me didn't know her name, and asked her).
Then the Scene Aesthetic came out, and while they were setting up, they talked to us and let people hold their guitars. They posed for pictures, let the girls take pictures with their guitars and them, and then started playing. I've listened to some of their stuff on iTunes, and I have to say I think they're even better live. :)
Halfway through their performance, they let a guy come up, and he proposed to his girlfriend on stage!! She accepted, and we saw that she was crying for a good majority of the concert, because she was so happy. It was so adorable. :)))))
Then, Adam Young made and explosive entrance with Cave In, and kept singing back to back to back. It turns out, though, that he was sick. :( I felt awful for him, having to get up and sing for an hour and a half straight, but it looked like he was having some fun with it, at least. :) He ended up taking off both of his shoes and going barefoot, which I thought was hilarious! He was really really really really great. I just wish I could have gotten an autograph!

So yeah. This concert totally made my life, and I'm counting down the minutes until he swings back here to Dallas!!

2. In other music news, my favorite band ever, Copeland, broke up on the same day as the concert. :((((( I was about to break down and cry, but then I read on their site that they may be planning one last record before they go their separate ways. That and that they want to do a farewell tour across the states. I'm praying to God that they stop by Dallas!!! :)

3. I can't stop listening to Owl City and Copeland. I think I have a problem, lol.

4. I want to upload pieces from my Concentration in AP Art, which is 12 pieces following one of Marcelline's adventures, but I don't know if I can.... not to sound conceited, but I think they're freaking amazing and I want to show the world! But try I'll restrain myself until I submit my portfolio. AHHHHH I WANT TO SHOW YOU GUYS!!!

5. Borderlands is a freaking sweet game, seriously. My sister and I are playing co-op (she's Roland, and I'm Lilith), and we're having a total blast with it! Our favorite thing is challenging each other to duels (Taylor demands satisfaction from mintgirl13!), just so my character can lose and so we can hear her scream. It's freaking hilarious. Sad thing is that we can only play when Chelsea is here, but she doesn't come back until Thanksgiving. :/

I'm so ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But first, homework! Bye!
