Well, I wasn't going to write a blog tonight cause I am so exhausted from one of the most eventful weekends in recent memory, but I am wide awake now after Death Note episode 36. Really, that episode makes it all worth watching. I was getting kind of sick of the series because its not what it used be compared to the earlier episodes, but after 36 its all worth it, I can not wait for the last episode to come out this week. While watching something like Death Note I ask questions like, "how come they can't just cut all the bullshit out and just have all the main ideas?" I ask questions like that, but I know the answer. They have to build it up, because otherwise times like episode 36 just aren't as sweet. So I am ready to pee my pants later this week. Anywho, while I have time I figure I should update what has been going on in my life lately, and for once, I have shit to write about.

While Brand New's "Handcuff" plays (Amazing C.D) I'll write about my Mall of America trip I had earlier this week (Thursday?). Basically I was kind of sick of sitting around and I needed a night out so I suggested M.O.A to Dawson one night and he was free so we made it happen. I started the day out with some basketball since I am trying to be active everyday but my exercise was cut short when it started to rain. When I got out of the shower I saw I had missed a call from Chrissy. I was kind of surprised that I got call but glad that she did call. I informed her about my M.O.A plans and she was with Gallus and Ashley and they decided to join us. Dawson, Dick and I made a quick stop at the Best Buy so I could get me some cheap as hell blank Dynex DVDs and then we went back to my house where we met up with the girls and all hopped into Dawson's Impala. Remeber, that makes it Dawson, Dick, Me, Gallus, Ashley, Chrissy and myself. Cramped, but it made for maximum fun. I introduced a little game I named very generically, "Power," and we had tons of fun with it. I don't care to explain the game so if you're interested you'll just have to join us for an extended car ride. Basically Chrissy sucked at the game, but I don't really see how one could actually suck at the game. Its not really even a game, but I've digressed to far. Anywho, M.O.A. We got there and we really didn't have any stores we had in mind. I knew I needed to visit, The Dollar Tree, Old Navy, Pac Sun, Hot Topic and Urban Outfitters. We walked around and went to a bunch of random stores but I got hungry rather quickly so we made a Taco Bell stop. It seems like thats all I've been eating lately, but that bothers me none. Then we stopped at Tropicana to see Ben quickly and promised him we would be back to claim some ice cream by nights end. I got to stop by the Dollar Store where I picked up a bunch of bathroom products which included a lot of hair spray, because lets be honest, my anime/emo inspired hair demands hair spray. We walked around and hit up some of the stores the girls wanted to visit and Dick finally pop his Vaase cherry and got the see the store he has heard so much of. I got around to Old Navy, Pac Sun and Hot Topic but picked nothing up due to lack of sales. The Ridgedale Hot Topic is by far the best Hot Topic I've been to. They always have the best people working there and they always seem to have shit I want. They did have this really sexy hoodie at Pac Sun but only in plus sizes. The last store I needed to get to was Urban Outfitters and I was blown away by the selection of beautiful clothes. I wanted a bunch of things from that store, but the price was not friendly. I have the thrift store, I don't need to get anything from UO, but I need to get lucky. I plan on going back and getting some things. I really liked the car freshener UO had, George Bush's Dumb-Ass Head on a String. If I had a car, I probably would have bought one. They had a bunch of sweet clothes there, but I think I wanted a couple of their books most. "Everybody Hurts" and a horror movie survival guide book, but I figured check the library first. We ended the trip at Tropicana where Ben hooked us all up with some creamy treats but that wasn't the best part. While we were sitting there enjoying our delights, this duo of black guys walked up to Ashley and tried to, "run game." "Ay, whaddup shawty, whats your name?" was his choice of a pick up line. Basically we all sat and stared at the rap-retard. Then he got angry and walked away while cursing because he got denied, get used to it pal. Anywho, we played Power on the way home and all went our seperate ways. A well spent night in my opinion.

Fast forward to Saturday with me while Reign of Kindo's version "O Holy Night" plays on my laptop. The big day. I think the last concert I went to was the The Early November send off. The day started out with church like usual and I tried to get home quick so I could shower, again, and get ready for the concert, but failed due to family delays. So I got home, showered, dressed, ate all in about 10 minutes. Which did not give me enough time to let my hair dry and do it over. I tried to do it in Jon's car while we were making out way to Maplewood Mall but no luck. My hair was still wet, there was to much wind, and I had no mirror. Not to sound like a little girl, which I pretty much am, but my hair was a mess. We got to Maplewood Mall without any trouble and on perfect time. We made our way to the outside stage and staked our area. There was a black dude talking about war and stuff but he soon cleared the stage for From Autumn to Ashes. I was super pumped to see these guys because their latest album is very good. At the sound of the first scream, I was off, Peter can vouch for me, I was READY to say the least. I think the guys I went with could feel that I was aching for this show. The circle pits opened up and from there it was just all emotion. For some reason I am just pulled toward the stage and I just kept on advancing without even thinking about it. Crazy song after crazy song, From Autumn to Ashes rocked it. They even put in some old joints in their set which is surprising since of their major band changes. Francis is an excellent front man, and I really appreciate his emotion and how he sings/screams his fucking heart out. He really means it when he is up there. When Deth Kult Social Club started I pretty much lost it since it was the song I wanted to hear by them the most. At one point I was screaming so hard and so long I got all light headed and almost fell over. They ended with a oldie, "Reflections," and cleared the stage for the black guy before Senses Fail. The black guy was handing out some prizes. They drew names out of a box and I had something planned for when he pulled the names out. After each name I yelled and pretended like I won something. the crowd was silent and when I exploded everyone was convinced I had won, but I let them know I didn't. Then Senses Fail. They busted out with "Shark Attack" and my neck almost tore into two peices I banged so hard during the intro. Probably why I still can't turn my neck. Just a sick set yet again. I think it might have been like the 9th time I've seen those dudes. I believe, if my memory serves me right, they introduced a new song. Our little crew made it up to the front which was nice since the breeze gets to hit you up there. There was this little bitch at the front next to me and I feel bad, but I had to elbow her face a couple of times, but really, she was asking for it. I know my concert etiquette and she was fucking it up and so it was the only play I had. She learned to stop with her little annoyances. The show ended and for some reason I was just drained hardcore. I thought to myself, if I can't even make it through 2 outdoor sets, how am I going to make it at this years Warped Tour? But I've always managed before, so I think I'll be okay. We mingled around the mall for a little and got some drinks before we left. When we got home we all went home and got cleaned up and decided to meet at Applebees. It was actually the first time I had been there in quite some time and I'm glad we chose to go that night, because for the first time in Applebees history, we got a hot waitress. I guess Shelly served us that one time, haha, but no. Basically, I know I have no chance with any girl unless they are semi-retarded to choose something like me so we just all gave her a semi-hard, semi-goofy time. She was a good sport so all good. The funniest part of the night was when Jon was paying her. She was dealing with everyones credit cards but Jon was paying in cash and Jon asked her, "Do you want my money now?" and she said, "You can give it to me right now." Now please understand, when it comes to girls, I still believe in germs and koodies, so when an attractive girl says, "You can give it to me now," it is fucking funny. This is probably why girls don't like me haha. Anywho, after Bee's we went back to Jons and popped in the DVD we rented earlier that day called, "Doomed," and you better believe it was shitty as hell. How could we resist, it had zombies on the cover. It held us til the end, but still, it was shitty and it made me want to kill some zombies. We got a good chuckle out of it and called it a night since Jon and I had a big Sunday planned. Due to fatigue setting in, I will write about Sunday and other things going on in my life tomorrow. Blogs are taxing haha, no, not really.

But before I close thos blog, I'd like to present a question. Say your favorite store closes and you say, "I liked that store," wouldn't that mean you used to like that store? Would you say, "I like that store," even though it didn't exist? Linguists, get to work.

Ni Ni!
