Woah...it's...summer?

INDEED IT IS. It's summer time and the livin is fine. Literally, I never thought I would be so happy for it to be summer. Those last few days of school seemed to creep on like little inchworms. It made me hate life and living. But let me just tell you, it was all worth it for these three months of freedom, and warm weather, and tanning and endless nights with people you love.
Recently I've had these really weird obsessions with things.

Like big sunglasses

or having my hair up super high in a bun

or tanning (i haven't done it EVER before...like just laid out in the sun and chilled? its so relaxing!)

or listening to terrible music, like Mac Miller.

But man, let me tell you these first few days of summer have literally been HEAVENLY. Summer kicked off amazingly, with me spending some time with my lovely friends at my boyfriends pool. GOT MAH TAN ON :D
These next few days I just hung out with Carlyn and enjoyed my summer.
But last night. Oh golly last night. Hot diggety, I can't even explain to you how great it was.
BUT I SHALL TRY :D

Last night was the panic! at the disco/Fun. concert. It was at First Ave. Let me tell you, i've never been to such a cool venue! Granted, i've only ever been to two other concerts before. Green Day, at the Target Center (oh my god best first concert ever.) and Fun. at The Varsity. So, Carlyn and I get to First Ave at the ripe time of 5:10. Doors open at 5:30, and as I expected there was a line almost all the way down the block. It was okay, though. We got in line after this girl who was with (what APPEARED TO BE) her father, and behind this bickering couple. It was quite wretched, but we kept in mind that in a few short hours we would get to BE IN A CONCERT.
As we sat and wait (the doors were FIFTEEN MINUTES LATE to open. How dare you keep a bunch of fifteen year old white girls waiting. THEY WANT THEIR MAN MEAT, GOSH DARN IT) we people watched. It was quite invigorating. A few people ahead of us in line were these rather obnoxious girls that seemed to be my age. I saw a man with purple hair, and many different people that walked by looking SKETCHERIFIC. I feel bad for Carlyn, though. She had to put up with my ridiculousness. Every time I would do something too unbearable, she'd give me this hand sign. You know the "awkward sea turtle" business? The two hands and the awkward thumbs moving? Well, she put her hands upside down and would say "ABORTLE THE TORTLE" telling me to abort what i was doing. quite funny, no? I thought so.
Well, when we FINALLY got INTO the venue it was already pretty crowded. We stood in the middle, about 9 rows of people back? Something like that. Get this; a guy FAINTED before the show even started. he was right next to me, too. it was probably one of the freakiest things ever. Cause he almost fell ON ME. Anyways, the first band that came on was called  Funeral Party. They sort of reminded me of a more screamo-y Fall Out Boy. If you like screamy whiney boys, BE MY GUEST. But it was definitely not something I thoroughly enjoyed. The two people next to Carlyn and I didn't much like them either. We spent most of our time making fun of them, and just jumping around to piss people off. It was quite fantastic :)
After Funeral Party came off we started to wait for Fun. I can not tell you how excited I was to see them again! Seeing them in October had been FANTASTIC. And I knew they wouldn't dissapoint. They didn't. They were beyond words. Nate Ruess was so exciting! They all sounded fantastic, and I loved the girl who was on tour with them! (though i did hate her a little, since she was ON TOUR WITH FUN.) They started with a brand new song which made me want to CRY with excitement. They ended with Take Your Time (Coming Home) Which Carlyn and I both think will become their  "good riddance" song. Since Green Day always ends concerts in Good Riddance, we feel like Fun. Will always end their concerts in Take Your Time. The only thing that bummed me out was that they didn't play The Gambler. God I love that song, it's the best song that Nate has ever written. But it was okay, cause it was still amazing :)
After Fun. we were waiting for Panic! At the Disco. Carlyn and I were both super excited (though I must admit I am a bit more FANGIRL towards them than she is) and we were waiting in the middle of the crazy terrifying mass. I started to feel like I was about to faint so I BOOKED it outta there. We stood off a little ways to the side where it was still a great view and hung out there until THAT started getting unbearable. We moved a ways away from the crowd but still ended up with an amazing view of the guys :) When they came on we all sort of had a freak out. I was really surprised by how amazing they are live, and how fantastic Brendon Urie's stage presence is. I mean, I'm a fan of Panic! At the Disco. No shame. But I wasn't expecting them to be outstanding in concert, I'd heard they weren't all that great. But they really blew me away.It also surprised me how SEXUAL they were. It was just tons of fun. Brenon interacted with the crowd a ton, and the new guitarists were both VERY cute. Probably my favorite part, though was when Spencer stood up from his drums where he had been all night and said something along the lines of "I have been sitting here, all night...thinking about what to say to you guys. And finally, i came up with this. You're hott, you're tasty, you're spicy...and I love chili" It was adorable getting to hear him, because usually he's hidden by his drums! Spencer also decided, that since we were so amazing he wanted to take a picture to document us. I felt so close to the band at that point. (how cheesy, right?!) I also loved how Brendon kept saying we were the BEST group they'd played for all tour. And I could tell he was saying the truth, since he literally did not stop smiling the whole entire show. It was heartwarming.

There's just something about concerts where you feel totally connected to everyone you're with. And you feel connected to those in the band. You've all come together in this tiny area for one reason: to listen to, and admire some fantastic music that you love. And the thing is, being in a concert, ESPECIALLY on the floor, is such a personal thing. You're literally pressed up to this person next to you that you've never met like you are sardines. And it's just such a close feeling. It's hard to describe.

and I sound like a cheeseball.

So long, friends.
