with words I thought I'd never speak

OMG. So... I saw My Chemical Romance for the first time. It was my first rock show, and it was my first time seeing MCR, and it was my first time SKIPPING CLASS (lol, I'm such a good girl) and it was amazing. My pictures are kinda crap but that's okay, I know other people took better ones. I think I sent everything I took to twitter, so I'll just link to them there. PREPARE FOR LOTS AND LOTS OF RAMBLING. no, srsly, this is like 5,800 words of rambling (oh my god, self, r u srs?). I tried to kinda divide it into sections so it's not just a giant wall of text, lol. SO, HERE WE GO.


( the day before, preparing the day of, and the line )

( before the show, The Architects, Thursday, drunk lady )

( the show, random observations, THE BOYS ARE GORGEOUS, lots and lots of Frank, this is the section with tweets and pictures and the stuff you actually care about )

( merch/the pit )

( after the concert )

( the next day )


I'm still pretty sore, I have a blue bruise on my arm, and I'm still tired. My ears aren't fully back to normal yet. I lost 2.5 pounds (lol yay). I wrote a TON of notes to myself last night and I think I covered pretty much everything I meant to. I just rambled SO MUCH, this is ridiculous.

I'm SO GLAD MCR was my first rock show experience. It was an amazing, amazing show, with SO MANY of my absolute favorite songs, and I got really close to the barrier in front of my favorite person (somewhere close to this person because while I didn't get the water, I was right there next to where he threw it), and it was just... amazing. Awesome, in the true sense of the word. The crowd was, for the most part, really excellent to each other, and I pushed myself way past my comfort zone of not touching people and enjoyed the hell out of it, and being in the pit at a rock show was one of my ~life experiences I needed to do before, y'know, I die, and I did it at my VERY FIRST SHOW, with my VERY FAVORITE BAND. I just can't even. I'm so grateful for the whole experience. I WOULD do it again, but maybe not for MCR if I see them again soon, because the next time I see them (BECAUSE I WILL SEE THEM AGAIN, I MUST), I think I want to be in the balcony or something, where there's a little more breathing room and I can actually focus on the stage and not just surviving, you know? But now that I know I CAN survive the pit, it's definitely something I would do again. SO MUCH LOVE. Thank you guys so much for your concert tips, I really really appreciated it so much (lol I'm such a crazy person about being unprepared) and I'm sorry I didn't get to hang out with ppl more before or after (erraticonstilts, I wish we'd been able to meet! dancinbutterfly, we shall have to hang out sometime later!), but it was just really fantastic overall. Amazing experience.



PS:
THE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL MEME

NOT-REALLY SPOILERS:

( MOSTLY JUST CAPSLOCKE )

SORRY, IT'S 3:15 IN THE MORNING AND AS MIKEYWAY WOULD PUT IT: MY MIND WAS BLOWN.

OH MY GOD.

(I have a photo of this too, but I dun wanna bother with downloading and uploading and all that)

Drexel U: HI JENNIFER, WE WANT YOU VERY MUCH. COME HERE NOW PLS, KTHX.

"In acknowledgement of your academic success, I am pleased to name you as an A.J. Drexel Scholar. A.J. Drexel Scholars are a select group of highly qualified students. As an A.J. Drexel Scholar, you will receive an academic scholarship in the amount of $14,500.00." (renewable annually provided I maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0.)

"Along with my colleagues in the Pennoni Honors College, I would like to also extend to you admission to the University Honors Program."

Well, now I'm 2 for 2. I almost wish I'd applied to more places just to see if I'd get in. LOL!

This makes things a bit interesting, though. I really want to go to SCAD, like, REALLY, but this Drexel acceptance with honors is pretty good... SCAD's still my first choice, though. The impression I got while visiting both was that SCAD had a... more high-tech, if not better all around, film program. Not to mention all the other stuff. Drexel was cool, but SCAD was cooler, I think.

Drexel sent me more stuff, LOL. SCAD's letter was just the letter and nothing else, but Drexel sent all these pamphlets and a cool folder and stuff. :P

OMFG BEST MOVIE YET.



better, more coherent review to come. and until then, see ack_attack's majorly spoilery post, because i agree with her on ALMOST everything she mentioned.
