always been crazy

1. DISCOS! Yall do realize that when we get an actual album and a tour, you're going to have to listen to me tell you practically every day that I love Brendon Urie, right? I'm sure yall have missed that. :)

2. wendy is awesomesauce, and she has compiled an updated list of different Big Bangs!!

3. Speaking of Big Bangs... what's going on with BBB this year? Not that I was gonna sign up, but I do have 12k words of hs au still, lol. Why do I never finish anything??

4. So everyone else is doing that "ask me about the first time I did something meme", but I honestly have such a hard time remembering things that I'm gonna pass. But I love reading everyone else's answers!

5. It's snowing outside. YUCK. It's gonna suck to be Harley tomorrow if the close schools, because I'm gonna leave the boys with her if that happens...

6. I'm kinda amused that our current email chain is still the one that was started on Jan 3.

7. I wrote comment fic in this post, if anyone was interested.

8. I never posted any Christmas pics on here. Actually, I don't even think I put them on facebook. *fail* Someone remind me on Thursday or Friday to share pics. I know everyone wants to see Illy's first Christmas!

9. Of the six women I know that are currently pregnant, five are having boys. Amy isn't far enough along yet to find out, but she'd better have a girl. We have SO MUCH baby girl stuff to share! :P

10. I have nothing else to say but I had to make this an even number. *smooches*

I think I may have hit my head on my shoe?

No, srsly, I was in the backseat & had my bag in the floorboard & my feet on top of it & I wasn't wearing my seatbelt b/c I had just gotten in the car & was putting on my shoes, and I think that's what caused this gigantic bruise on my head.

I missed my flight at the airport & they put me on a later one, but the original flight ended up going to Charlotte and then turning around b/c of thunderstorms. Then they ended up rushing to reboard them about 20 minutes after they deboarded and put the 5 of us who were supposed to be on the second flight to Charlotte on the same plane. And of course we had to run from one end of the terminal to the other to make our connecting flight.

But I am safely at wendy's house now, and I got hugs from her and phaballa and got to love on Max and Val a bit, and turned my phone on when I landed to find I already have a wealth of birthday wishes via txt/email/facebook. Now I have water and tylenol and am going to bed.

I was thinking earlier that I really need to learn how to Apparate, but I was also thinking that I kinda wished we could communicate with our minds, and idk if I was thinking of a mix of "psychically" and "telepathically", but I was thinking of texting eckerlilas that sometimes I wished we could all communicate psychopathically. Idek, I think maybe I was partly dreaming, even though I was trying my hardest to stay awake on the plane b/c of the head injury.

For those of you who didn't email, here was my day:

So, today has been a day from hell. Work was shit, and I'm hoping some time away will make me either realize that I do like my job and want to keep it, or that I need to find something else. Took the boys to drop them off at Pam's and while we were bringing their stuff in from the car, Pam accidentally locked us out of the apartment. Then my car wouldn't start. So Harley was going to drive me to the airport and we were in an accident. I'm not even sure what happened, but one minute I was putting my shoes on in the backseat and the next our car was under the ass end of a Suburban. Everyone is okay, Harley & Johnathan are a little cut up from the glass & bruised from the seatbelts and airbags. Illy's carseat & base didn't even move, and three different EMTs checked her out b/c me & Harley & Johnathan were freaking out about her. I have a huge bump on my head & knocked a tooth out & am so not okay emotionally right now, but I'll be alright. I did miss my flight - just barely b/c they were rain delayed and I got here as they were closing the door and leaving. So I was on a later flight & that story continues at the top of this post.

Oh, but on the flight from Charlotte to DFW, there was this little boy that sat beside me. He was adorable and like 7 or 8 and played pokemon cards and tic tac toe with me for part of the flight.

So, I just typed up an lj post & went to post it & got an "oops" msg. Wtfh? Let's see if I can remember it.

DAN WHITESIDES IS TOTALLY TINY! HE WOULD TOTALLY FIT IN THE TRUNK! I was actually gonna tweet yesterday about how we were cleaning out the trunk so we could kidnap a drummer, but I figured it could possibly misconstrued. Or properly construed, whatever. (Also, I have no idea how to spell "construed" lol)

I'm not quite sure why snarkyrainbow and I don't have a Dan sandwich (b/c he would totally fit!), but I guess it's for the best. I wouldn't wanna deprive those of you who haven't seen them yet of Dan. Even if Dan the Man Who Can cannot toss a drumstick in the air and catch it 2/3 of the time. Although, at the Dallas show we watched him break a drumstick, toss it over his shoulder, and grab another one to keep going without ever missing a beat. HOT. Fucking drummers, idek.

I'm not gonna go into actual concert recaps, but I'll hit the highlights?

Got to hang out with wendy on Thursday. And her puppies. I really wish she lived closer to me or vice versa because hanging out with her is always fabulous and she is the awesomest of the awesome. Also, she got a call with a job offer like right as she was coming to pick me up, so YAY WENDY! And I find myself saying "interesting" as an acknowledgement statement, which is totally a wendy-thing. :)

We went to lunch with snarkyrainbow and her sister shamrocks15, and then later I met up with them to go get lost in Dallas before we found the HoB.

I still think Drive A is adorable. Even more adorable was the fact that their grandparents were at the Dallas show. Seriously, cutest thing EVER.

I have nothing amusing or positive to say about The Almost other than the fact that they soundtracked the tambourine.

THE USED. Yeah, I love them. <3333 Um. Quinn's hair was all sticking up everywhere and there was some red lighting on the stage that made him look like he had little devil horns. He is precious, btw. Um. There was Bert creeping shamrocks15 out with his crazy Michael Jackson hat. And Jepha being hot sticky sex. Or, you know, being Jepha. And Quinn quinncerting himself into the Dan\Jepha OTP, which made snarkyrainbow all "Back the fuck off, Allman!" and highly amused me.

We were gonna stalk the buses afterward but there was this random older man there who had skipped bail to bring his daughter to the concert & get her barrier. And he was talking to his girlfriend on the phone, trying to get other people to tell her to fuck her husband and come see him instead.

Oh, and before the show we saw Dan and some of the other guys playing kickball behind the venue. :)

shamrocks15 is pretty damn awesome, I'm glad to have met her. Praise Jesus! Also, there were four twelve of them motherfuckers, I shit you not!

Friday, me and snarkyrainbow drove from Dallas to Houston (without getting lost!) and plotted (hahaha) ridiculous fic (SHUT UP AND TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS!) and talked about fic that needs to be finished and talked about other random shit. And we got passed by Drive A in their little van. In my head that totally means they had to hang out in Dallas to have lunch with their grandparents and then haul tail to make it to Houston on time.

Met up with irisgirl12000 & vic_ramsey & Cody-whose-lj-idkmercurybard (thanks arielchan!). And shutyourface joined us later. We found seats in the balconey with an awesome view. Drive A is still adorable, fyi. They aren't a band that would have ever caught my interest if I hadn't seen them live, but I really adore them right now.

Bert McCracken is CRAZYCAKES and TINY and ADORABLE. Seriously, he reminds me of one of those little yappy dogs that things they're big deal. He told us about his itchy balls, and did a little Michael Jackson dance, and told everyone that if they didn't have the album to go out and steal that shit from Walmart & say he said it was all cool, and was generally adorable and entertaining. And he let Quinn talk which... ahaha, no. Oh Quinn. <3 Oh, and he had Dan drumming out random shit. That was pretty amusing. Dan and Jepha are still hot. Color me surprised.
After the show, we waited for M&G. Heather bought one of the tour album download card things & I still had mine from the Baltimore show. Only one person was allowed per card, so snarkyrainbow had to wait outside for us & I told her I'd get my card signed for her. We were told they had black and silver sharpies so Heather was going to get them to sign her hoodie. So we go in and Quinn had a black sharpie & was signing my card with it & we asked him and he was like "no, we're out of silver ones" even though there were like six on the table and Heather asked if they could make their autographs stand out and Bert just jumped into their conversation and was like "sure we can make them stand out!" (and Dan tossed Quinn a silver sharpie & Quinn was like "it's probably out, it's only good for like 30 signings." Oh my god. Quinn, I'm fondly amused of you being a grumpy difficult bitch with an adorable grin, and also proud of you for making complete coherent sentences.) and so I moved on to Jepha, who was sitting on the other end of the table and we were making small talk while he signed my card & he was like "you're missing a couple people on here" b/c I only had Quinn & his autographs. So I told him Heather was a line jumper & he was like "Damn you, Heather!" And Heather had no idea what we were talking about, she just heard us say her name, so that was even more amusing.

We also caught up with Dan outside by the buses for pictures. HE IS REALLY SO SO TINY! OMG! snarkyrainbow told him not to drink in her picture, and Dan had to tell me how to work the camera because I'm retarded. And then irisgirl12000 & I got pictures too.

And we went for food & went home to irisgirl12000's house and snarkyrainbow & I were acting like giggly 13yo girls and also tweeting each other from the same bed.

Okay, now we're having fangirl hang times and I'm gonna go steal eckerlilas's baby from vic_ramsey and hold him. :)

Over in this post, the ever-fabulous wendy issued a Monday challenge to her flist to post a song. It can be anything at all, for any reason. It only takes a minute, so spread some happy!

How about two songs?

Empty With You, b/c I saw The Used last night and will see them twice next week and I LOVE THEM!

and

Hot Mess b/c it's ridiculously catchy and Cobra is always happy making.

wendy posted an awesome picture of Jared on her LJ. Yes, yes, I know I'm supposed to be writing. I've spent all morning not doing so even though I only need like 3000 more words on my bandombigbang.

How about a couple pics of the Js instead?

( I guess I'd better cut this )

I spent the weekend with four of my favoritest girls (anasuede, wendy, notthequiettype, and phaballa) and I miss them already. But I had the most awesome time. There are pics on wendy's and de's ljs. We're utterly adorable.

Apparently I've missed something on LJ that I'm not sure I want to know about.

I'm gonna try to get a little caught up on my flist. Wish me luck!

Today is Drop Everything And Read Day! So, in honor of that, everyone's favorite fangirl (aka, wendy) has a post asking for fanfic recs. Go by and leave a rec (or more than one, if you're feeling frisky) of any sort (any fandom, pairing, rating, whatever). ANYTHING. And later I'm gonna go cruise through her comments section to find myself something to read, not that I don't already have enough bookmarked.

Me and Mom and Harley and the boys are going to get something to eat. Be back later!

Also? Tomorrow I get to see puterpatty!! *is very excited*

OHHH!!! Guess what?? wendy and anael totally rock my socks and I love them both more than words can say! They bought me a LUMOS shirt!! Yay!! *loves*
