Just got back from NKOTB's concert about 2 hours ago! I'm still pumped up, not sleepy at all wooo! IT WAS FREAKIN' AWESOME! Better than Justin's concert I went to last year, yes I said it! I'm sad it's all over, I didn't want it to end!! Actually I'm watching all the videos from my camera now =D omg, best way to end 08'! Worth every freakin' penny. Man I could go on forever. So now I feel like rambling =p Ow, my right arm is really sore, and for like 15 minutes after the show it was really hard to lift it up once I let my arm down since I was practically holding it up for about 3 hours @_@ BUT IT WAS WORTH IT! They can still pull off the moves like they were young again =D There was plenty of synchronized dancing (several were suggestive and not for the kiddies), some booty shakin' (courtesy of Donnie *drool*) *cough*hesgotanicebuttmanhecanmoveit*cough*, Pleather AND open shirt moments (complete with wind machine) from Jordan (I'm surprised my eyes didn't fall out of my head xD) and much more that I just won't give away now.

I am soooo happy they're back together. Been waiting for them to reunite for about 10 years =D--so, less than the older fans but more than the newer ones. I was just a baby when they first came out in the late 1980's, so unfortunately I wasn't able to be into them from the beginning, though I think I can really remember hearing a song of theirs when I was about 3-4. And unlike a lot of kids today, neither my mom or dad was into them back then so I didn't have a collection to listen off of =( So yeah, got into them in the 90's after they split, but I'm glad I eventually did, though it's been a bit of a quiet thing...What's weird though is that I feel like I've been a fan for more than 10 years...like it's hard to explain. Hmm, I guess that's just how awesome they are! xD

Though my mom thinks it's all sudden = /

I didn't take too many pics [cuz usually everytime I did, the pic would come out blurry and I didn't have as much ZOOOOM as I would've liked -_____-]. So mostly I just video recorded every song performed while jammin' along.

A couple things did disturb me though. There was this thing where you could text any message you like to a certain number, and your message would appear on one of these 2 small LCD screens above the left and right hand of the stage. So I'm reading, two of them that stick in my mind are "I LOVE JORDAN! and I'm only 11!..." and "I'm 14 and I love Donnie!" Both by little girls =| I was like "oooook, do these tweenies know how old these MEN are?! yeah old enough to be their daddy!" as Gemma says... so yeah, I was a bit weirded out by that =| It's different when you're 18 and over....but just wrong when you're barely in your teens and saying OMFGZ you "love" someone who's almost 40! Kinda creepy, but yeaah...That aside, not surprisingly, I didn't see too many kids there ( I did see a baby). Mostly those who attented were adults and young adults, which makes more sense, and majority were female obviously. The men that were there seemed to be dragged there either by their wife or girlfriend.

Anyways, got myself 2 shirts which I will definitely wear proudly! (one with a vintage picture, and the other with their new album cover), a tour book, and a keychain =D

aaaaand I guess that ends my rant for tonight. I don't know if I can go to sleep, still wide awake and still watchin' the video clips xD....

I don't really know how to tell you this, but you're a pervert. I think I realized it when your dog ran amok in your camping car and I saw you sit on my Kid Rock collection. I'm sure you're open enough to understand that there is no solution to this. I'm returning your ring to you, but I'll keep your photo as a memory. You should also know that I will tell the authorities about the incarnation as an eskimo.

Good luck on your short term leave from jail

Ashley

Well the Late Late Show is on right now, and so I must go and focus my full attention on Craig now =p

I'm not going to be collecting candy or going to any Halloween party *sigh*, but for those of you who are, stay safe, and have fun!

Instead, I'll be here at home, trying to write 3 essay-like journals due tomorrow for my Psychology class *gag*, watching America's Next Top Model, munching on my favorite Halloween candy which happens to be candy corn xD, and then hopefully if there's time, watch 1 or 2 Halloween appropriate movies. Knowing me, I probably won't get to the movie(s) tonight ^^;;

But yesterday I saw the Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D and...it was AWESOME man! I love the movie, and it's so much cooler in 3-D. Makes you really do feel like you can just reach out and touch the characters. The best part in my opinion--because of it being in 3-D--was probably the Oogie Boogie lair parts, just because of the neon glowing and blacklight stuff =p But other than that, it's not my most favorite part in the movie of all...if that makes any sense o_O And I get to keep the glasses =D Although ticket pricing is a bit expensive :-/ about $4 or $5 more than what you would pay for a regular movie ticket...but then again I think it's because you do have to use special glasses, so it all works out.

My mom cut up a banana last week. Usually we just eat bananas like they are, but anyway, she cut one up, and look what I noticed:



Do you see it? xD "A"s! I never noticed that before...hmmm, dunno if that's in all banana's or if it was just a coincidence. I don't usually look at the middle of a banana as I'm eating it lol.



MMMM! ICE CREAM! =D I'd been craving some ice cream with sprinkles for awhile...but we didn't have any sprinkles =( So we went to Bed, Bath and Body Works the other day and I got some xD Yeah...even though sprinkles have like no flavor, they're pretty and make the ice cream look pretty =P

OH! and I finally got me my sushi fix too the other day (from this place called Little Miyako in Meyerland) =D After like 3 years since the last time I had some. Man was it good *mmmm*


Nigiri-Sushi, Salmon. Had 4 of these.


Maki sushi...and 2 of these. Can't remember what kind of fish were in this one...oh well, it was good.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Went shopping at West Oaks Mall the other day. When my mom and I got there, and she parked, I had to wait to get out from my side, because this man pulled up right beside us. And do you know what he did?!......He got out...BRITNEY SPEARS STYLE!...If anyone has seen that video of her where she ran into a parked car while trying to park herself, and then once parked slammed her door against that same car...Yeah. Well he didn't run into my mom's van, but he opened his door, like no care in the world, and BAM! slamming it against my side. I'm like "Wtf?! oh no he just didn't...." Dude was talking on the phone too, so I don't even know if he knew there was someone in the vehicle next to him. But after he closed his door and started to walk away, I got out fast and took a look. He actually waited though, to say "I'm sorry, did I make a dent?" Me: "No....no" Man: "Ok, I'm sorry about that" Psh! whatever. He's lucky there wasn't. But there was a small paint mark which came off when I rubbed it. Anyway, what is wrong with people. You don't just freakin' open your door like that, thinking there's no one there and you're not going to get caught doing it.

Ahh, feels good to vent.
