I saw David Melillo on Thursday. It was amazing.
End of story.


Sam - come back from FL now.

Today I realized that I've changed and the people I thought I'd be friends with for the rest of my life have changed too. Some have changed with me, and others have changed in a way that separates me from them. I don't know what it is. I don't know if I've become more mature, more immature, more depressed, more distant? I truly don't know. What I do know is that I can't go on like this anymore. I want to remain friends with people from Quincy but sometimes it's hard. Sometimes you just reach a point in your life where you need something different, you need to break ties. maybe not permanently, but definately temporarily.
I'm sick of doing the same things all the time. I'm sick of waiting around for people to decide if something better will come around before they call me. And I can't say that's completely one sided. I do that too sometimes. Sometimes I make excuses not to hang out with people because I'm sick of being around them, I'm sick of listening to everyone of their petty problems without them giving me the chance to speak about things that bother me. I'm sick of doing stupid things or being rushed while doing something because they have "other plans" to get to.
If you can't go a fucking day without reaching for your cellphone to text or call another person then don't fucking hangout with me. If you can't enjoy just being with me, and just spending time with me without wishing you were somewhere else or wishing someone else is there, then don't waste your time or mine. I'M SICK OF IT!!!!

I need to do things on my own. I don't need to surround myself with drama or overdramatic people. (even tho i'm being slightly over dramatic myself. but this has been building for a long time)

I just closed out of Boys Like Girls myspace page, and yet their song is still playing. Its not stopping. I've tried everything. I think my computer is possessed.

So I'm back in Quincy and back to work, this means that I will probably never update LiveJournal because nothing exciting will be happening in my life. Last night Diana and I drove around Quincy/Weymouth/Braintree/Randolph for about 3 hours trying to find something to do, and ended up at builiding 19. That's when you know your life is lame. I bought five bandanas so I can be hardcore everyday at work. I also bought ridiculously stupid cards for like .25 cents.

I'm determined to see: Counting Crows, Dashboard Confessional, The Honorary Title, Boys Like Girls, David Melillo, and Panic! at the Disco this summer. If you would like to help me achieve this task, let me know.

So yah, that's it. nothing else exciting is happening.

Oh, one last thing, I have a ridiculous amount of clothing. 2 bureaus, 1 closet, and 1 hamper full. (That's not counting the two 30 gallon trash bags full of clothes I donated to Goodwill)
That's when you know you have a problem.

Goodbye.

It's 11:54 right now, by the time I post this, it will probably be tomorrow.

I should be studying for my spanish final and sociology final right now, but I can't. i'm just too lazy. I've been making study guides for them for the past like 3 hours, and I think I deserve a break.

I leave Stonehill tomorrow, and I can't wait. My room is completely bare. I have no food, no posters, no TV, no books, no rooomate :(. I'm ready to leave, and strangely enough, I'm excited to start working. I miss having money and I miss the people that I work with. They're a good crew to associate with.

Speaking of money, I think I just gave $3 to two drunk guys pretending to be going on the Hope trip. I'm not really sure. But I'm pretty sure the Hope trip was over spring break. Oh well. I'm an idiot and loose money for pointless reasons.

Well I could drag this out for another two minutes, so I could make my prediction correct that I would post this "tomorrow" but I'm not going to subject anyone to my incoherent sentences or idiotic remarks. So Goodnight. and by goodnight... I mean I'm going to study.

I hate Samantha. She has me addicted to the Honorary Title.

I love Taking Back Sunday.

This entry is long overdue, but like I always say - Better late than Never.

So yah, the concert was amazing. Although it was not the best concert I've ever been to, Taking Back Sunday is probably the best band I have ever seen live.

Sam and I left Stonehill at 12:30, got to Boston about 1:15 and then sat outside on hot concrete for 4 and half hours. But the wait, the sunburn, and dehydration were all well worth it. Emanuel played first and to my surprise the crowd really wasn't to bad. Then Honorary Title came on, and Sam pretty much died from happiness. Last but not least, it was time for the amazingness that was Taking Back Sunday. Adam and Jeff were so amazing on vocals and Eddie was sick on guitar. The crowd was insane and I was kicked in the head about 20 times and I had someones crotch in my face twice.

I almost made it through the whole show, but I had to be taken out of the crowd during the encore. The whole not eating, sitting in the sun, and then being attacked by crazy men didn't exactly go together well, so I sort of blacked out. Sam fingered me while I was getting lifted out of the crowd and some guy groped me. haha. oh well. such is life. I managed to walk over to the bar before I completely blacked out. I was pretty much laying on the bar unable to see or hear anything. then the bitch behind the bar wouldn't give me a water till I gave her four dollars. So grabbed the water from her hands, drank it, came back to a normal state of conciousness and then gave her the four bucks. Bitch.

So things I've learned from this concert.
1. Don't go to a concert after not eating all day
2. Don't sit in the sun for 4 hours, get a horrendous sunburn and then go to a concert.
3. Don't try and be responsbiel and bring your ID or Medical cards to concerts because you will lose them. FUCK.

I am going to die tomorrow. Say goodbye now.

Rocket Summer was interesting. It's the first concert I've gone to that I wasn't up front pressed against the barrier, and it's a pretty good thing too. This morning I woke up with a pounding headache and I was unable to move my eyes. Taking Back Sunday should be intense considering the fact that I plan on rocking out up front the whole time no matter the pain.

Pretty much, I'm killing myself slowly. Time to take more pain killers.

After being in the hospital for countless hours this weekend, and being treated for pretty much every disease under the sun (strep throat, mono, meningitis, migraines, sinus infections...just to name a few) I finally returned to Stonehill College on Sunday.

It is now Tuesday, and I'm not feeling much better. During the day I feel pretty good, but when I first wake up in the morning I can't move my eyes, and have sharp pains running into my head. I'm not a happy camper. Light bothers me, so I am forced to wear my sunglasses all the time. not cool.

So in other news, The Rocket Summer concert is tomorrow at the Axis, they are playing with Daphne Loves Derby, Paramount and Brandston. Should be a good show.

THEN!!! Friday May 5th, 2006... I will be attending the Honorary Title, Taking Back Sunday and Emanuel concert. After having Ebay kick our ass for so long, Sam and I fought back hardcore, and got three tickets to the sold out show at the Avalon. I'M VERY VERY EXCITED.

It'll be interesting to see whether my head and eyes will be able to tolerate the lights and sounds... ho hum.

PS. Samantha Dakoulas made me the coolest get well soon card ever. It has Chris Carrabba as a doctor at the top saying "As a result of your recent illness, Chris Carrabba is very concerned about your health. He wants to show you how to do a self breast exam." Then a speach bubble is coming out of his mouth that says "Do you have a fever? because, baby, you're on fire!"
AMAZING.

I think I sprained my ankle, and I'm starving.

I want to go to the Taking Back Sunday, Honorary Title, and Emanuel concert on May 5th, but e-bay is kicking my ass. I refuse to pay more than $25.00 for a concert ticket, and the fact the show is sold out, is making this difficult.


There are only 2 weeks of school left, then I go home and work my little tail off starting May 15th. Three cheers for MPIUA.

My friends like to dress me up like a Jersey whore sometimes...



So instead of studying for my spanish test, I took part in a Jersey style make over. Jess - who was putting off studying for her chem and philosophy test - and Same - who was putting off writing a physics paper - were the hair and make up artists. I'd have to say, I'm pretty hot.

I figured I could best articulate this weekend through pictures. So here we go...


I love these girls

Spring Weekend Concert - featuring Gone Baby Gone and New Found Glory


Gone Baby Gone


Jordan


Ian


Chad


Steve

I did have a picture of Cyrus, but it's extremely dark and hard to see...but i think you get the jist of how awesome the night was. I got to talk to Ian for like 10 minutes, got a picture with Steve, watch Diana accuse Cyrus of being constipated, and rock out to one of my favorite bands since 9th grade. I'd say... I had a good weekend.

Last night was interesting to say the least. Went to I love the 90s and had to sing and dance to Spice Girls to win the game Guess Who. I'd say it's a fair trade off, my dignity for a couple pieces of plastic?

Then after I love the 90s I went to the drag show where Jess volunteered me to compete in a dance off. Jess and Sam said that I came in second. lol. I'm so awesome.

Tonight is the New Found Glory concert of spring weekend. I'm so fucking excited. It's beyond ridiculous. Diana is coming up, so hopefully we'll be able to meet them :)

Well I'm off to class then to set up for the concert.

Bye
<3 Katie

Happy Easter everyone.

Break's been great. I've done absolutely no homework which means that when I return to Stonehill I am offically screwed. Oh well, such is life. I hope everyone had/is having a great break. My life has been so hectic lately, it has been nice to sleep in late and spend time at home.


Sam - Moose is doing well. I think he'll be changing shells soon, I don't know why, but I just get that vibe.


Back to school tomorrow, hopefully not before I see Andy Henck! WOOT WOOT.

Guess What!?!

I passed my MTELs :D 

That means two out of five tests I need to pass to become a teacher are out of the way. 
Watch out folks, I'm gonna be educating the youth of our society someday! 

In other news, things have been okay with me lately. Last night was hillapalooza at Stonehill. To my surprise it didn't suck. West Indian Girl was really good, and One Eyed Stanley was pretty entertaining. I enjoyed it a great deal, and I'd like to thank Sam, Ellen and Dave for sticking around after the late start. It really meant a lot to me :) 

I'm been listening to exceptionally emo music lately. and ridiculously gay techno, too. I think I have a problem. 
Queer as Folk soothes me a great deal. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I can just pop in an episode, and I feel so much better. That's another thing that I need to go to counseling for.... my love of gay fictional characters.  My love life is fucked. 

Lately everything people do or say is getting on my nerves, and I don't know why, and I feel bad for getting angry so easily. But sometimes I get fed up, so I beat bitches up. Don't hate.

i love today. period.

While having a conversation with someone, do you ever have you ever get the impression that they would rather be doing something else, or they are not fully involved in the discussion, thus making the whole situation awkward?

I know this is going to sound weird, but that's how I feel sometimes with my brothers. With Dan I can talk to him about stuff, but I always feel that I'm bothering him. Or if I IM him, I'm being the pesky and annoying little sister. With Chris, I can't even talk to him because he always makes me feel like I have nothing important to say, or he's always too busy playing on his stupid computer.

It sucks. I think both my brother have a lot of things to teach me about life, or have valuable insight into some of the things I'm going through, but I feel it's wasted. Like even though they have it, I don't have access to any of it.

It's weird. Since I've left for college things have changed. In high school, I could care less about talking to my brothers or having conversations with him. But now that I'm here, away from home, it's different. I guess I never realized how much I took for granted their always being around.

I wonder if they ever feel the same way...
