I'll keep you all posted once I'm on bedrest DX The main thing I'm worried about is saying something fantastically stupid while I'm on nitrous.

It was so much fun!!! The weather was a little iffy, but Em and I both managed to get WICKED SUNBURNED the one sunny day. On the upside, I now get to keep people from poking me in the stomach. This is all in addition to hunting for snapping turtles, basically eating my body weight in ice cream, and doing hardcore bike rides [18 miles? heck yes!]<br /><br />As such, being at home is weird. After a month of being gone it's taking me longer than I expected to reacclamate, but it's still nice to be back. Getting to see various people is fun. XD<br /><br />MARILYN MANSON CONCERT LAST NIGHT. The people there were so nice! It was incredible. Everyone was super polite and considerate, which is not something you typically associate with Mansonites lol. Bleeding Through was the opener: they were very okay but wonderfully grateful for the attention we gave them. Then FUCKING SLAYER! [It was funny, in the hallway between sets if you were walking around someone would yell "fucking SLAYER!" and a bajillion people would respond in kind.] Umm, so Kerry King is an amazing guitarist. "War Ensemble" and "Chemical Warfare" were great, but they did this hugely drawn-out version of "Reign in Blood" that just kicked my ass. It was amazing.<br /><br />Then Manson! He got on at about 10:00, and... something about seeing him in person right in front of you is so cool. He played an excellent show-- his voice sounded great-- but no one really likes the new album and there were a lot of old songs that everyone loves that he didn't play, which was disappointing. Despite that, though, I totally lost it during mOBSCENE, The Reflecting God, and Antichrist Superstar. A-mazing.<br /><br />So yes. Today I have to go on a mini-road trip to get a CAT scan of my wisdom teeth. Apparently my mouth either hates me or just has a really twisted sense of humor. My bottom two wisdom teeth MIGHT be wrapped around the main nerve in my chin, which they could damage, and the top two might leave a hole in my sinus cavity.

Wow, that sounded way less pretentious in my head. All apologies, but I'm having like the best couple of months EVAR.<br /><br />Brown was absolutely amazing.

Senior year's gonna be a little bit trickier now that I know what college is like and love it so much, but am still prepared to stick it out. <br /><br />I had two days at home, so I didn't get to see a lot of people [sorry, luvs!] but I did get a day at Lolla with my brother, which was very fun, and get to unpack/repack my life. ...And get a new boyfriend... We'll discuss later X3<br /><br />Now I'm in Nantucket with Emily and her family. It's been a great time so far! Our house is adorable and we're really close to town. Today we explored and hit the beach for a little bit, and let Em test her off-roading skillz. It was AWESOME! lolz =]<br /><br />Anyway, that's my update for now.

Which I hate because it makes me all insecure and I'm coming to terms with the fact that I really do love him [a hard admission for me to make, but there it is and I'm proud of it] and I really don't want that to fall apart. We had a long talk yesterday which probably could have gone better but at least we're still together and are going to work it out. I just need something from his end to make sure that I'm not wasting my time. &lt;3<br /><br />But THEN Mona calls and invites me to go to the Fall Out Boy show. [DEAR DAVID. YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO COMMENT ON THIS PART. SORRY. XD] Which was spec-fucking-tacular!!! She and Charlotte and I went along with Mona's brother and a bunch of his friends. On the way down there we were driving in the minivan and all of a sudden we were next to this unmarked white van with big windows. I looked in one of said windows, out of curiosity, and saw a guy who looked vaguely familiar with a lip ring and Corvette tattoos on his neck. Ladies and gentlemen, Travis Barker. I flipped out [pretty badly, too. I usually don't get starstruck, but I was shrieking at this point] we took photos of him and Mark [they were really sweet. They smiled at us and Mark waved his iced carmel macchiato at us XDDD] We blasted some +44 on our stereo, which they thought was hilarious.<br /><br />ANYWAY. We get down to the venue, which was really well done and we had some pretty killer seats. Got food and shirts while Paul Wall, one of the warmup bands was on [he kinda sucked. it was really too bad.] The Academy Is... were up next and I was really impressed by them! They played a great live show. THEN THE POWER WENT OUT. And Mark comes out onstage and he's like "Power?! WE DON'T NEED NO FUCKING POWER!" And then, of course, just to spite him, the power comes back on. The +44 set was GREAT. They played 155, which is my favorite song of theirs, perfectly and ended the set with When Your Heart Stops Beating. But my favorite song of the whole set [and everyone else's, by the sound of it] was a little old song called "What's My Age Again?" The whole place turned into one giant moshpit with all of us singing and dancing our asses off. I love that song.<br /><br />Anyway, power went out AGAIN after their set, and one of the guys came out onstage and was like "Hey, we're running about an hour late so if you guys need to call your parents..." and we're like DA FUCK?!?!<br /><br />But I digress. [Thinly veiled lyric? Mayhaps!] FALL OUT BOY FUCKING RULED. I had heard that they weren't that good live, but they totally were. They were amazing! [And, though I didn't want to believe it at first, Pete Wentz is really hot.] Their guitarist is so much more talented than he lets on! They went through most of my favorite songs and the whole crowd was singing and I was rocking out which, tragically, Charlotte got on video. [Some things should never be seen outside of the moment in which they occur. Me at concerts is one of them.]<br /><br />There's more there's more there's more, but I'm tired of typing. Yus. So the day actually turned out well, which is good because I needed it. We'll see how things go from here, but I have a feeling that everything is going to be fine. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ci_monster:16434 2007-06-07T18:48:32Z 2007-06-07T18:48:32Z Live Before You Die-- Social Distortion SENIORS '08!!!<br /><br />Wow we're old. So old, in fact, that we may be considered vintage.<br /><br />MAN I'm glad the year's over. It was fun, and looking back it felt like it took no time at all, but it's time for a break. Summer is nigh! <br /><br />And what a summer it's been so far. Kidnapped Charlotte this morning for her birfday and took her to Walker Brothers-- very fun, despite lots of guerilla attacks by cicadas. X3<br /><br />EMY, LUCY, AND RIOS: I'm gonna miss you guys!!!! Have a FANTASTIC time in Japan [although, knowing you, I feel like it'd be hard to *not* have fun]. Take lots of photos, enrich your minds, see lots of the usual variety [winkwinknudgenudgeknowwhatImeansaynomore], and just have fun! Lots of love, good luck with the fifteen hour flight.<br /><br />LOVE<br />Cici urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ci_monster:16166 2007-05-19T21:22:04Z 2007-05-19T21:22:04Z Icky Thump-- The White Stripes I GOT MY VOICE BACK!<br /><br />And not a moment too soon, either. A combination of praying really hard, shutting up for two straight days [much harder than it seems], and this weird licorice tea = re-voiced Cici. Thank GOD. The play was AMAZING! It was so much fun and it went off totally without a hitch. A bunch of people came which was amazing, and Emily and I got to hang out after the show, which was wicked fun. <br /><br />Psyched for Prom tonight. Got a manicure/had my wicked long nails filed down by about half an inch. Which kinda hurt. But I digress. I'll fill you all in on that tomorrow.<br /><br />I've been hooked on the new White Stripes single "Icky Thump". Its an amazing like Zeppelin/punk/blues/garage rock protest song kinda deal-- the music is great but the lyrics make it a thousand times better. Highly recommended.<br /><br />BYE JAMES!!! Love you all.
