We ain't got no place to go...let's go to the punk rock show!

Hola!
I have had a great week! Every day I have gotten to eat with Tom and Ben and some with Will and Henry and even once Mr. Tommy and Mrs. Patti came! Plus, every night we have watched movies, several times played volleyball, and the other night Beth and I made milkshakes for everyone at Will's grandma's house with stuff Tom and I bought! Yummmm....Then Thursday, I think it was, Russell asked me if I would like to go to Fun in the Son for free as his babysitter for Mack, which I jumped on, because A) I love the beach, B) Lots of Volleyball there, C) I love Mack, D) I have never gotten to go before due to permission or work (YMCA) or family vacation (HH) or summer school (voluntarily took Stat in the summer last year- summer school was no fun though). So, YAY for July 17-21!

So my week continued to be awesome last night when I went with Tom, Ben, and Will to the Lakewood Amp. with tickets to be in the pit to see Relient K, Simple Plan, and Good Charlotte!!!! =) Ok....really, we went to see RK and GC. SP gets on my NERVES. I like 2 songs of theirs- Addicted (a lot) and I'm Just a Kid (some). Every other song they have is just too darn whiney to put up with. They really didn't do a bad job, they just annoyed me so much in their songs that I couldn't get into it. It was really funny though, when they played Welcome to My Life because Conan used it for a skit on his show for about a week or so. We all just grinned through that song because Conan is hilarious, and everyone around us was singing the song which is basically "my life sucks more than yours." Yeah. Even though you are now rich, famous, on tour, and have a show on MTV. Your life is rough man.

Ok so Relient K was AWESOME and I am going to buy their cd bc their set was great. They also played an older song- Sadie Hawkins Dance- which I was really excited about because I think that song is SO funny and I was so excited to hear them play it in person! I had heard some of their other songs before, like Be My Escape, but I had not learned the lyrics so I couldn't really sing along as much. I hated that they had to go first because they were better than Simple Plan, but they didn't get the big lights and backdrop and the fans weren't jumping yet- though they probably would have if they told us to.

Ok, the main attraction was most definately GC!!! I love them so much! Tom and I...and Ben, I am pretty sure, knew all their songs before they were able to tour, and since they have toured, Tom, Will, and I have only missed one concert they have had in Atl. So last night was our 3rd concert with them! They are super talented and pretty funny too, so it was fun to watch. We all definately got a work out jumping around and pumping our arms and singing along. *smile* =) They had a creepy cemetery background because their album is Chronicles of Life and Death. They didn't play as long as they did at their 2nd concert here, but it was still pretty awesome. It was interesting because Joel is dating Hilary Duff, and he has this white guitar, and in black on that guitar, Hilary was on it. It just seems...odd. I mean, she is younger than me by over a year...she is probably just turning 18. And he is about 23 or 24. Plus, she is this girly-girl icon, and he is tatoos and piercings punk. Whatever though, I like her and respect her so far-she hasn't made the leap to trashy like every other teen girl idol, and it's not a huge deal anyway.

Ok, so I crashed when I got home- I was so tired! Then this morning I woke up to the sounds of my nephew and niece, so I got up and played with Tyler (Maddie was already taking a nap), and told Jonathan Happy Birthday....actually I think I just asked if he had a good one. But his 27th bday was yesterday, and Tyler's 2nd bday was yesterday. And Seth Park's Bday was yesterday too! He turned 22. And today, Seth is getting married! Which means I have to get offline so I can get ready. I still need to shower, and we are supposed to leave in less than an hour to see Seth and Rachel tie the knot! I am so happy for him. Rachel is a sweet and pretty girl and a perfect match to his personality! =) Congrats Seth!!

Aiight my hoes, I am out!
Lots of Love,
