Ruth-ness

Monday night my parents, my sister, our best friend, and I all went on a crazy drive down to Vancouver to see Ruth at thier CD release party. The drive was almost 3 hours... each way... on a school night! But it was WAY worth the lack of sleep. we got down there really early and had some pizza in vancouver, then we went back and chilled at the church for a while. the Ruth guys were just walking around, it was pretty sweet. Later we bought CD's and t-shits and met them and had them sign stuff... they were really cool to talk to, they could believe that we drove that far just to see them. We also met Danny, the new drummer. He is super nice. He seemed really suprised that we wanted his autograph. I have more stories, but I don't want this to be super long post.

The concert started. (oh by the way did I mention it is in this really small church that only fit like 200 people max?) We were front row, and by front row I mean we could have reached out and touched them. The concert was great!

the setlist(which i got afterwards):

Secondhand Dreaming

One Foot In One foot out

hibernation pieces

Back to the five

you are

who I was and who I am

Here to New York

Pure concept

Hearts on sleeves

forgetting to remember

Mr. Turner...

then they did an encore with Dead Giveaway, Standing still, and then a cover of weezer's 'smile'.

Pictures!

And I have a video of Dead Giveaway...

I also have a video of pure concept, but the sound quality is REALLY bad, but I can post it if people want. :]

Overall it was an amazing night.

my best day in a long time

see title. which is kinda strange considering I had work today, and usually I don't like days I have work because it takes out a huge chunk of my day. but it wasn't so bad today. and the other things I did totally made up for it. lets rewind a little....

well first of all... NO SCHOOL today which automatically makes today rad.

-I got up early but not too early(9:30). I felt well rested for once, yet I hadn't slept the day away.
-I had breakfast & some tea. (tea makes everything better)
-Me and my sister watched The Phantom Of The Opera while curled up in our blankets. perfect. one of my favorite movies with the best sister/friend in the world. it was great.
-Our other 'sista' (if you have read the RK book) came over & we had lunch.
-we practiced Hacky Sack. we still kinda stink. but w/e... we are going to pwn by the time switchfoot ever does decide to come back over here.
- then our band ECHO got some good practice in. We shared lyrics & combined some to write an okay song. then we just played around w/ drum beats on the keyboards
-then i had to work :/
-got home. ate. watched tv for a few mins.
-My sister and I went out to do a 'creepy night photoshoot' for photo club... & we got rad pics. I may post some later...
-then now. about to go to bed. still a weekend ahead of me.

yayayayayayay!!!!

listening to: Back to the Five- Ruth (new single! check it out! it owns my face. for reals)

fall=cold

the title of this post says it all. fall is cold. eep. it was like in the 70's a few weeks ago and now it is like in the 40's and rainy! I do not like waking up and being cold. urrrrrrrg....

but i do love when the leaves start to change color (like right now) and the smells of fall. the air smells so clean and crisp. and this is the first fall that i get to listen to fall by jon foreman during... (i waited for the winter/fall boxset last year) so yay.

thats it. oh my GP's (grandparents) left this morning. they get to drive all the way back home. I hope they have a safe journey.

ps. i decided that the first thing i am going to buy myself with my money from work is going to be a pair of black leather gloves. i lost my old ones. and now that it is getting colder....

Reviewing + extras

So it has been like 4 days since I went to seattle to see POTO. I needed a few days to calm down before i posted here about it. for example... this is what i wrote on the fact thread of LOBH when I got home that night...
fact: I am sooo happy right now!
fact: it is like the level of happiness at a switchfoot concert (well almost)
fact: it is because i just got back from seeing THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA! (musical broadway version)
fact: It blew my socks off.
fact: ahahbaksjhfbakjhfrvbjahdvfbjhsbv!!!! amazingggggggg!!!!!
fact: i feel like a phantom fangirl... lol
fact: *is dead and will remain dead for quite a while*


haha i was like high on the Phantom lol... but really IT WAS AMAZING.

heh. I thought it was just going to be like the movie but with different voices and look kinda fake... but it was crazy. It was pretty much like the movie... but like in front of my face! and the sets and effects were amazing! they had some new/different secnes too. lets just say it is tied for the highlight of my year so far (tied with my france trip). you say thats sad? psh. w/e. *goes to watch the phantom*

*comes back for a little*

ohhh and for all of nobody that is reading this who doesn't like POTO.... normal blog stuff!

soooo i have to work tommorow. :\ i really don't want to. it is during the biggest football game of the whole year! my senior year! and i have to miss it!!! AEJGYSFNSIIED!!!!

my dad got me a micro SD card for my phone... so now i have like tons of switchfoot songs with me wherever i go. :D

listening to: *cough*thephantomoftheopera*cough*

watching: my goldfish swim in his tank.

pondering: why i have to be in a workers union when i am at an entry level posistion and a MINOR. *shakes fist at fred meyer*
