Sunday, November 23 - Jags Game, BTBAM

So after I got home from Rob's this morning I showered and napped then went to the Jaguar game. It was a horrible game and we left pretty early. They ended up winning and Liam pretty much hated us for leaving early. When it was his idea...

Evan and I went to Between the Buried and Me tonight. And oh my god saw the best band ever. We saw Wings of Victory, Veil of Maya, Animals as Leaders, and BTBAM. Wing of Victory sucked, as I expected. Veil of Maya was amazing. BTBAM was good, but not as amazing as I had expected. I most likely would have been blown away if I not just seen Animals as Leaders. Combined, Evan and I have a pretty thorough knowledge of metal bands, but neither of us had heard of them. After they played, we just turned to each other and both of us had the biggest smile plastered on our faces. They were amazing. No vocalist, and it was all technical and melodic. We bought the CD immediately. Even people that don;t like metal will like them, which I know covers the majority of the people that read this.



After the show we came back to my house and I put the CD on my computer. It was the first time Evan has ever been inside my house, and it was funny when he got in my room and just stood there looking at stuff. I guess it's been a while since I had someone new in my room and it was funny to watch him just look around. It also made me look at my room with new eyes, and also made me realize that I really have to paint my room a new color. This green or horrid.

Off to bed, just posted a video on KateListensToDavid. So. Yeah.

Day 86 - Fox, Art Market, JMOCA, Cummer, Shai Hulud, SATURDAY

Today was far more eventdul than yesterday, thank god. We woke up and went to get breakfast at the Fox. On the way there we stopped and saw Jenn at Casablanca. I have never been there. She gave us the tour. Then we went to Breakfast, and saw Amber slaving away back in the kitchen. Didn’t get to say hello. From there we went to the Art Market. It keeps getting worse and worse. There is less art and more children’s clothing. It is really disappointing. We did meet this one really nice artist, Jay Negron, who had some amazing charcoals. After we walked around the art market for a bit we went to walk around Five Points. Took Ashley to Edge City, Clothing Warehouse, Anomaly, and Wolfgang. I bought an amazing dress at Wolfgang. We left 5 pts and went to JMOCA. I haven’t been there in a while. There had a huge Rosenquist that was amazing.

This afternoon we also went to the Cummer, and we sat in the garden and painted for over an hour. It was a nice day. We came home, showered, and went to dinner with my mom and Jenn at Timiquana. Then Ashley, Jenn and I went to the Pit to see the Shai Hulud show. Colton was there, of course, completely wasted, of course. Therefore more Colton Words of Wisdom came out of his mouth. He is one of the funniest people I know. At one point during the show we were outside ad we were dancing, ballroom style. I said, “Colton why didn’t you dance with me at my prom?” And he put his hands on his hips and stood in the gayest way possible, then said, “Kate, a lot has changed since your prom. I’m a man now.” It was the funniest thing ever.

Saw Kevin also. And Stamps. And a lot of people I did not care to see, including Justin Jarrell. Ew. During one of the bands I was sitting outside with Colton and Stamps and Ashley, and this girl runs by, and just starts hitting this other girl and pulling her hair. It was like the third fight that night. But, since it was a girl fight, no one broke it up. Kevin ran after then taking pictures. It was hilarious. The whole time they were fighting Colton was jumping around yelling, “It’s Saturday! It’s Saturday!!” Overall it was a hilarious night.

Day 82 - Timiquana, THRASH AND BURN

This morning Jenn and I began the day by going to Timiquana to lay out and swim for a while. Of course it started to rain right when we got there, though. We swam and used the rest of her roll of underwater film. Other wise it was pretty uneventful.

Tonight was Thrash and Burn, and I had been looking forward to it for months, seriously. It was amazing. It started at 3, but Evan and I didn't get there until around 8. MyChildren MyBride had JUST played when we got there, but that was alright. Right when I got there I saw Colton, Kevin, Chris, and Stamps. Eddy and Brandon were supposed to come up there as well but they didn't. Oh well. Evan and I watched all these crazy bands. Emmure played, and Emmure just reminds me of Wyatt so I never really listen to them. But I stayed to watch. The second the started to play a pit broke out, and immediately this really big guy fell to the ground, and his head was gushing blood. Evan and I were stumped. I have no clue what happened. But the guy was draged over right next to where I was standing, and he was unconscious. They had to carry him out, leaving behind an immense amount of blood. I still don't know what happened to him. I will hopefully find out from Colton. Emmure was pretty good, though. After the guy was carried out someone kept messing with my hair. I was standing in the pit, and right behind me there was a nother level so I was eye level with people's feet. I kept giving this girl a dirty look, thinking that she was messing with my hair. But then I saw a Ked's Classic running away. Kevin. I untied his shoe. Being as scrawny as he is, he squeezed through the bars and stood with Evan and I for a bit, warning me of the pool of blood I was standing in. Yech.

We went to the other stage and watched some crazy metal band that had all these 40 year old guys with hair to their waists. And their drummer was 13 years old. So that was impressive. There were no other horribly eventful things that happened though. It was an amazing show. I have never seen or listened to DevilDriver before, and I saw them today. Epic. Seriously. I have already downloaded all of their CDs. It was so good.

After the show Evan dropped me off at Murray hill where I met up with Jenn and we went to Kickbacks to ring in her birthday. Usually, you get to Kickback's and it takes about 10 minutes for anyone to realize that you are waiting for service. But about 2 minutes after we sat down, the waiter from last night brought Jenn a little thing of Chocolate syrup with a straw. It was hilarious, but she was embarrassed. We rang in her birthday with chocolate milk and our favorite waiter. It was good times.

Matthew Hastings of MCMB replied to one of my tweets I sent him on Twitter. I about peed myself.

Tomorrow is her birthday. I am excited.

Day 74 - Emma, Liam, Corbett, Bayside, Mikey

Today was a busy day, although it didn't feel like it. I woke this morning and worked on cleaning my room for a while, then Emma came and took Liam and I to lunch at Al's. Although when we were walking into Al's, Liam said, "I wonder if Mommy is here yet?" Then I had to tell him that Mommy wasn't meeting us up there, which I never said in the first place, and he lost it. Of course. 9 years old and cried like crazy because Mommy wasnt going to come have lunch with us. It was embarrassing. But Emma made it better because she said she would go across the street to Smoothie King and make him a free smoothie after lunch. That worked.

After lunch I came home, took a shower, and waited for my mom to come back from work. When she got back I drove out to the beach to see the acoustic Bayside show outside at Aqua East. I have never really listened to Bayside, but Corbett was pestering me to go, so I did. It was beautiful weather, and just a bit rainy. There were a lot of people there, and it was a good show. I saw Kevin and a bunch of other people. I was glad I went, even though I wasn't thrilled originally.

I went from Aqua East to Fugi Sushi, and pretty much just sat there for almost two hours with my mom, Liam, Mrs. Haramis and a bunch of other people I really didn't know, all the while starving to death. Then finally it was time for my dinner. I went and picked up Mikey and we went to Dennys. Seriously, I have had Dennys 2 days in a row. I am going to drop dead. Never eating there again. We sat across from the largest woman I have ever seen, and not only did she look like a while, but she was making whale sound effects. It was hilarious.

And now I am home and in bed. Tomorrow I am babysitting Liam again, going to the pool and lunch with Ian. Hoorah.

Day 10 - Ponte Vedra, Pit, Dollhouse

Today was just hilarious. This morning Jenn, my mom and Liam and I went out to Ponte Vedra and just layed out by the pool. I actually got some sun, unfortunately my arms are burned and my nose is a little red. Nothing too exciting happened while we were there, and pretty much all day Jenn and I were trying to figure out what we were going to do tonight. Hardcore Prom was at the Pit and I did not want to go at all. If I was right about the bands that were going to be playing, I would have seen a lot of people who I never want to see again.

I finally decided to go, and we get there and there were so many people there. It was crazy. And of course since Jenn and I haven’t been going to shows for a while, and it was out at the beach, we knew about two people there at first. We eventually went inside and we saw a bunch of our friends there. Jason lives nearby so he came to hang out, and eventually it got to be more fun. I saw a bunch of people who I never care to see again, and although my stomach flipped a few times, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I had expected. The two that I thought would put me in tears were always in my line of vision, and that sucked. One noticed me and tried to get my attention but I just ignored him. I am done dealing with that.

There was some girl who I don’t know that was really nice who had a birthday today. So in celebration of being 18, a bunch of people were taking her to the strip club and Jenn and I ended up going too. It was hilarious. We went to Dollhouse, where Rob and I have always wanted to go. We met a stripper named Renee who was very nice, and very talented. Thanks to Axell for paying for Jenn and I to go.

Tonight I got a call from a friend from school saying that a girl in our year was in a bad accident and she’s not doing too well. So many people have been getting hurt lately I hate it. Keri was in an accident, and it left her with massive internal bleeding and apparently part of her leg had to be amputated. If anyone actually reads this, please pray for her and her family.
