Snow Job?! I meant Blow Job!

I was watching MTV looking at Travis McCoy and Tila Tequila hugging. I just didn't care that a new year was coming. My 2007 had been pretty shitty and dramatic. So, needless to say, the beginning of my 2008 wasn't the best. Up until February. Feburary, I started to realize how easily I could get swept off my feet by a girl. She is a wonderful person, still. But that died down and a little deeper into the year some strange stuff started happening. Unmentionable things.

On June 7th, 2008 I starting going out with someone. We are currently still together, and considering my past with that person well, I'm pretty proud. That's when things started looking up. It wasn't that she made it better, it was that I started saying "Fuck It." I cared about things and thought about things too much. That's currently still my problem. But let's get more positive.

In the summer of 2008, I was pretty fucked up. I stopped caring too much. But I called her almost everyday. I remember a lot of boring days that I let happen. I remember going to a friends party and having pretty attractive guys hit on me, still with her in mind. If you guys are "close" enough to me and know who she is, you'd understand why that was mentioned. I remember going to another friend's house to watch movies on her birthday. I remember her calling me and me hanging up after a few seconds with an "I love you." I significantly remember everyone going Awwww. I completely remember Warped Tour as well. Terrible mistakes and wondrous moments.

Okay, let's get started? First we arrived around 11:40 and Mayday Parade was already playing. Which was odd because the ticket said that the thing started at 12:00. Fucking liars. My friend, Ije wanted to see them! But it was too late. Then while we were walking forward to get the schedule, I saw this guy holding up a sign that said Just Surrender 2:45. So I'm all "Yeah, Just Surrender 2:45 okay, okay." So he comes over and smiles with us and fans us. So I'm thinking "Who is this dude, he has nice eyes and he's too familiar." We chat a little and then I tell him that I'll be there OF COURSE. Then when we go to the schedule thing it hits me... "He's the drummer!!" So yeah, Steve Miller, the drummer from Just Surrender came up to me and wasted his precious time fanning my friend and I and I didn't even know who he was. Smart aren't I? Well you can't blame me because I'm not all Teenie over them, I love their music way more.

So anyway after we got the schedule thing, my sister and her friends split up with Ije and I and we ran to go see The Academy Is. I'll be completely honest right now. I always though William Beckett was cute. When he cut his hair he was a bit cuter. But in person... HE'S GORGEOUS! Like, whoa. I wasn't in the front for them but I was in a pretty good spot and got some great pics. Travis from We The Kings sang with them for a little while too. So they're awesome live and their crowd was pretty fine.

Then Ije and I started walking to get to From First To Last, where my sister was. Then I saw Gabe Saporta from Cobra Starship, I asked him for a picture but he said "You gotta walk." I thought that was impossible so I just left. *shrugs* Plus, dude, he was in a complete rush. I got a picture of his back though. Psh, I'm so hardcore. But anyway then I realized that if I saw From First To Last I'd have to miss Just Surrender. So I just said fuck that and went to Just Surrender's stage where The Human Abstract was playing. But we got bored and sat by the gates instead. On the other side of the gate Oli Sykes, of Bring Me The Horizon, past by and I was all "oh, soft gasp." I don't like his band, but he's kinda cute. We met up with another friend of mine, Ashleigh. It was her first concert at all. So it was cool. Then the drummer of Just Surrender came out again and it kind of slipped my mind that I should have asked for a picture. -_-

When The Human Abstract was ending Ije and I raced to the stage and got great spots, at the front, with the gate. I was super excited to see them. If you haven't heard of Just Surrender I seriously insist on you fucking checking them out. They're totally awesome. Anyway, there are negatives and positives about being in the very front at Warped Tour. Positives are great pictures and great view. Negatives are loss of hearing and crowd surfers landing on you. I felt so bad for Ije. It was her first Warped Tour and she never got kicked in the head before. She got hurt way more than me too. Sorry, Ije! Ily for pulling through! Oh, and sorry about your nose! Anyway, there were times that the guys would sound like Alvin and the chipmunks but hey, I enjoyed myself. So when they ended I got a picture with Jason, the lead singer, and his sweaty self. He's much cuter in person too. And when I said thank you he said "No, thank you." I squealed in my head.

After them Ije and I were tired and we couldn't hear correctly. (My ears are still ringing and it's the day after.) We waited a bit to see if we saw my sister in the Alesana crowd but we didn't want to wait around so we went to buy some shades. We both got awesome green ones. I lover mine for the remind me of Ryan Ross... yeah, uh, anyway... we waited around some more but then we decided to go look at t-shirts. Ije bought a Mayday Parade shirt to make up for not seeing them. I bought nothing. Then we went to go wait at the stage that Cobra Starship was going to play at. All That Remains was playing and we sat around for a bit until Ije was pulling me to get into the crowd.We got okay spots until the band came out... then we were being pushed all around. I mean seriously it was ridiculous. I only got one picture and two videos. I was scared for my life in that one. There were more than like five times that about ten people fell all together in the crowd. Gabe actually told the crowd to calm the fuck down, well he didn't curse. He told us to take a deep breath. Then he sang another song and it seemed like no one calmed down at all. Then one of the guys, I couldn't fucking see who, said "Long Island, now I know why they call you Strong Island." They call Long Island, Strong Island sometimes. Travis from Gym Class Heroes came out when they sang Snakes On A Plane. He was a bit drunk. Oh, and remember when last year in my Warped Tour '07 blog, I told you guys that Paramore was the worst crowd ever? Yeah well Cobra's crowd was twenty times worse. Way more sweat was exchanged, I stole a Cute Is What We Aim For sticker, hair was pulled, everyone was kicking, my pants were being pulled, and I threw paperclips at the chick in front of me... yeah, I'm so hxc. Lmfao, when she saw what got thrown at her, her face was priceless.

Everything hurt after Cobra Starship. Ije and I walked to the stage that Ludo was gonna play at. I was super excited for them too! So, awesomely, the crowd was small. So Ije and I got good spots, although we weren't in the front. When Ludo came out and sang the first song, which was Go Getter Greg, it was me and a couple girls behind me that were going crazy. There were probably others but not around us at least. It was a boring crowd, but that's good. Because there's more room to be in. Ludo's lead singer, Andrew Volpe, is fucking weird. Like, there's something in his head, the poor guy. But you know something? I don't give a fuck! Because he's amazingly awesome! I mean I act the way he does on stage sometimes. It's all just random excitement. Anyway after they played he said he was leading an Idiot's and Asshole's Parade. I was like fuck yeah! So Ije and I ran to follow him. I was like beside him almost the entire time. I kept pulling Ije with me to run to the front with him. I took a video of him for a while too and got pictures. He lead us to his tent. Andrew's so cool. I got a picture with him too. I look really tired in the picture. But I love it anyway. It's cute.

So then Ije and I bought $5 water. Goshh. Then we slowly walked around waiting until it was time to go see Anberlin. But we ran into this tent where this cute guy was. She actually mistook the tent for something else but he told us to come over and listen to his band so of course we did. When we were listening he held up signs that said stuff, it was funny. It had a great sound so when it was over I told him that I would but I didn't have enough money. But he told us that since I had five dollars and that she had five dollars we could buy one and share it. So we chatted about his shirt and Blink 182 and free water. And I asked his name. Hiona, pronounced Yauna. He had the cutest accent. Oh, he and his band are from New Zealand, btw. Well anyway he signed the cd and we took pictures with him and Ken. It's another cute pic. By the way, the band's called All Left Out. After that we walked around for a bit.

We reached the stage that Anberlin was going to play at and Reel Big Fish was preforming. Apparently, they are the masters of music styles. Haha. Ije started dancing to them really randomly because they covered a song that she loves. So she was dancing beside the crowd and I started cracking up. Then when they were over Ije pulled me in and we got to the front where the gates were. She went insane for Anberlin. I even got a video of her going insane. Teehee. I only knew one and a half songs that they sang there. She had a moment with the lead singer too. He pointed at her while she pointed at him, she squealed. Hahaha. Their crowd was boring too. But remember, it's not a bad thing. It just means you get to be a little more crazier.

After Anberlin we went to search around for my sister. I met up, or more like kinda bumped into, another friend of mine, Yaritza, and pointed her in the direction of Bring Me The Horizon. Then we found Say Anything and sat behind their crowd. We looked at all our pictures and squealed a bit. Then we went inside the crowd for a little bit for Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too. I got an okay video of the ending. But I was pretty far so it's probably not the best.

Then we met up with my sister. Well I kinda shoved her and she got really mad because she thought I was some stranger. Anyway, I finally met up with my sister and her friends and we waited and sat behind Katy Perry's crowd. And while we waited I saw that skank Matthew Lush. I didn't bother going up to him. But then I regretted it because if I asked for a picture I would've totally moved my hand the same way he moved it in that video of his...*coughcough*. I just would've liked to put an effort into trying to embarrassing him. So anyway, my sister, Ije and I went into Katy Perry's crowd for a few pictures but some asshole's hair kept getting in the way so it didn't work out so well. Plus Katy sucks live. So we went out of the crowd to find my sister's friends. We waited by a Ludo van and I took a picture of it. Teehee.

Then eventually we left early. About an hour earlier than it ended. And while we were walking to where my sister's friend's Dad was some guy yelled for me to show him my bewbs. I didn't turn to look at him, I just said "Ew." But hey, I didn't trip once this year! Woo!
