we actually slept a long time. from like midnight until like 8 am. When we all got up the numbers were up to like 30 but i really didn't give a fuck. it was so cold and we were so nasty and tired. about an hour later kellie and i went to get breakfast at the rhythm cafe and it was absolutley YUMMY! i fucking loved it.
then we went back and sat down, with my hair in those rasty nots, all gross and in the same clothes as the day before. showerless. but. blah! we were waiting for david who did finally arrive, and then christa and we got to see her meet danica forthe first time which was absolutley wonderful :] i was so happy for them. then david remembered that i wanted to show hims omething.
the night before after i had slept in kinkosi noticed there was a really gorgeous river next to it. with a bridge right over the water all light up. i stood right there and just looked at it for like ten minutes. it was so beautiful. this is a day time view of it. so i wanted to show it for david. and he seemed to love it to. so we walked onto the bridge and had a real fun little photo shoot. haha. i know you want to see these so badly,
don't you dig my knots/beginning dread locks? haha. david told me to imitate the cloud on my tongue picture from the utp music book. hahahahaha
this is my favorite. man i'm using techniques i learned in school. haha. i rock.
i asked these two weird old ladies to take a pic for us. hah.
then we walked around the city and looked at everything, searching for an atm. its a cute little town. i think i saw grand rapids more than any other city. We also got to see dor see her indy picsture for the first time. that was kind of an honor. they were really good. then i became a geek and took arena pictures. this is a picture of the arena from the parking structure about ten in the morning
can we say big? and nasty?
for some reason this arena fascinated me. it made me miss my work so much. i was totally analyzing it. i went into the team store and saw how shitty it was compared to ours and talked to the manager about the pond and stupid stuff like that. hahaa. the day was fun, but fairly uneventful. Mel showed up sometime in the 3 o'clock hour, and i felt like i bonded with her for the first time. only breifly, but i felt like i grew closer with her. The numbers lined up at 3 o'clock and i really wasn't down with lining up that early. so we just sat around. about 5 we noticed they were at the wrong door, so i just sat down at the right door and all i called all my friends over. no one really seemed to notice. but im glad i did because i was the first person in the door :] and i was happy that mel got up on the rail as well. it was a squishy crowd. david went from behing 2 ppl behind me to like 4. we squished jessen behind me since he's practically my height. having him behind me was REALLY amusing. he kept telling me not to move certain ways and stuff. it was funny. haha. the rail made me get covered in mullet grease from the aerosmith show and my shirt got nasty and sticky and that is how my hair became dreaklocked. ew. anyhow, the rainn people came in late which made me totally squished with jessen which became interesting. hahahaha. so i had him on me the whole show. it was kinda nice tho. he was totally watching it with the same eye line as me.
lots of eye contact tonight. most over towards dor and the girls, but i got my share.

she was taping pieces of the show so she was in camera mode. she was wearing the nice silver and navy apron she wore at the birthday show. i like that one. During mary she made a motion which looks like our wacking motion, and the whole group of like 15 of us around each other turned around and like freaked out and laughed and stuff. i doubt thats what she meant, but it looked like it, and especially since it was during mary, it cracked us the fuck up. During one song i heard danica snort and it made me laugh as well. haha. I was really happy to hear china. i felt like it was needed at the last shows. the girl next to me threw a spaz fit however and i wanted to bunch her in the nose. she was being so dramatic. i was very eh about take to the sky and icicle - esp. since i had JUST heard TTTS. its just. blah!
i just about lost it during graveyard. Its one of my favorite songs ever and it was fucking beautiful. it was all changed around and i was so excited to hear it. it was one of the rare moments i cried on this tour. She totally fucked up in spark and glanced back at dor with a huge grin on her face.
the waitress - BEST waitress of the tour! i tell ya! since the whole group of us was right next to each other, there was some major hang ten-ing going on. she had joel tell the camera guy to record us and even asked the secuirty gaurd to move. He totally taped us hang tenning. and the best part. was she totally fucking hang ten-ed back. like BIG time. like the entire hang ten part of the song. it was SO awesome. she was totally grinning at dor the whole time. it was so fucking awesome! One of my favorite moments of the tour.
it was a totally rocking swirl, she was up on her piano bench, totally into it. but the camera man was in my way. unfortunatley the crowd got real dancey and real bad. a dear friend got shoved onto thefloor and almost passed out :\ so joel brought us over some water. i think tori noticed none of us watching her and she got a really concerned look on her face. i actually saw a few people drug out ofthe crowd. it was pretty bad. then she came out for crucify. Ok so im used to having tori see me make fun of her but this was bad. first of all i hate crucify live. its just nasty. during the 'ive been rasing up my hands' part, i mockingly raised up my hands like a lot of stupid people do in a totally mocking way and turned around and laughed, and she shot me the DIRTIEST look EVER. i thought i imagined it but danica totally saw it too. she just GLARED at me. a few times after that. i felt KINDA bad. hahaha
pretty good year was so bad. she was staring at the girls n all, and the last half she was totally sobbing. when she got up to say goodbye she just looked at them and covered her face while she sobbed and ran off stage. made me cry too. i'd never seen her cry that close up :[
afterwards we had our big 30 person party at fridays. hell yeah baby. awesome shit. haha. it was fun. we filled up the whole back room. After that we went to a motel 6 for a few hours. we heard tori might be doing a radio interview in the morning, and we were gonna try to catch her...
