Lying in bed this morning, I realised I need a new one of these. Last year I read 56 books, 5 more than 2007... nice.

Last night was amazing. I was second row for most of the concert, front row for the last two songs, I touched Damian and swore i'd never wash my fingers again but then I forgot what hand I used to grab his arm so I decided to wash them both. Damian kept jumping into the crowd and running around, and at one point he, tim and andy ended up in the middle of the crowd complete with guitars and mics and the people around them all sat down and they sang 'A million ways' and another song that I have momentarily forgotten.
I'm in the process of uploading videos, but because massive memory stick = more space for videos + extremely slow uploads from this computer = I'm only up to my third one. I for some retarded reason decided to start uploading from halfway through the encore... so so far I have a short video of Damian talking:
and 'you're so damn hot', which i have had stuck in my head all day:
more when they get uploaded.

Proof that RyRo didn't lose his Rosevest in New Zealand...
The New Zealand Government gave him
a wad of $100 notes to leave it here so he would
mention New Zealand in interviews.
For those who don't know the story -
apparently RyRo lost his beloved rosevest somewhere in Auckland, New Zealand.
I am hunting for it as we speak.

My charts are starting to look the same, well the top three artists anyway. New additions this week include The Scene Aesthetic and Sugarcult.
My mission for next week is to not have TBS, MCR or FOB in the top three. I'm going to play a lot of lostprophets and AFI, and other artists instead.
Uni is killing me. I have a meeting this afternoon with supervisor, i'm sure what I have written is not going to be enough and I feel really nervous. But I can't wait til it is over with so I can go back to doing experiments tomorrow.

Okay, so i had an idea.
Some of you may remember on my old journal i had a 'Hot Guy of the Week' that i did every week for about a month before I got bored and dropped it.
Because now so much of my life revolves around music, I thought i'd do maybe a 'Kirstie's music video of the week' thing, mainly because it gives me an excuse to spend hours on youtube finding good videos hahaha. And I promise they won't all be Taking Back Sunday either. And they won't all be the newest videos, because well i'm always a bit behind with music videos. But they will be GOOD.
See how i already kinda started with The Killers video I posted not that long ago?
Anywho, This Week we have The All-American Rejects with It Ends Tonight.
I Love the song, and they get bonus points for having fireworks.
They also get points because they said they'd go naked on TRL if this video got to number one. If you want to see the little teaser vid Tyson did for this, click here

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH It was amazing.
So I left uni at like 4.30, went downtown to buy a camera and lip balm, then walked up Queen Street to the venue. I got there maybe just after 5, and the queue was already halfway up the block, so i joined it. Ended up standing between a group of girls down from Warkworth and some up from Cambridge. They were maybe the average age of 14. There were SO MANY teenagers there. All emo'ed up with some of them wearing more eyeliner than i have in my entire life, all at once. They all dress to look 'different', but end up looking the same. But all the same it was a pretty friendly line, not much pushing etc, at least until they opened the doors at 7.30. Got a bit squished then, security guard pinched my water bottle, so i had to shell out $4 for a new one (extortion i tell you). Bought a shirt for $40 and put it on straightaway and found a nice little spot near the back of the room leaning on a half-wall thingy.
48 May started playing at 8, I knew two of their songs, but only knew the full lyrics to one of them so i sang along to that. The rest of their songs were from their new album, which i might get because i did like the songs.Highlights of that include the singer (i forget his name), putting on a g-string that someone had thrown at him. They finished at 8.30, and then they set up for Panic til 9. During that time i was getting a bit tired, and i saw one of my friends from primary school, but i don't think he saw me haha. He was there with his girlfriend. It was nice to see that i wasn't the only person over the age of 20 who was there not as a chaperone for their kids.
When Panic! started i thought i'd stay where i was, because i could see the whole stage, but that lasted like 30 seconds. I had to get closer. I didn't end up getting that close, but i did get good views of Brendon and Jon. Don't ask me what the set-list was, i know they started with The only difference and ended with build god, then we'll talk, and they played tonight tonight and karma police. It was awesome. I sang my heart out, tried to record some on my phone (which didn't turn out too good) and took lots of photos with my disposable camera, but we'll have to see if they turn out.
At one point an inflated condom that was floating around the crowd ended up on stage and Ryan picked it up and threw it to the back of the stage. hehehehehehe. Brendon was wearing a dark jacket and cream shirt, Ryan had the Rose vest on, Spencer had a brown shirt on and Jon had a black jacket and shirt with a purple tie on i think.
Near the end Brendon said New Zealand was his new favourite place, but then i suppose he say's that to every crowd. The scream when he said he loved us was deafening, and then when he introduced the rest of the band. It was totally awesome, and I think quite a good first concert really, lots of parents and kids and it felt quite safe, you know? So I didn't freak out at all, didn't get too claustrophobic, it was really good.
When they were halfway through the last song just after 10pm i started moving towards the exit, and i waited for them to leave the stage before i ducked outside to get into the first taxi. I managed to get one that's from a West Auckland company, so he knew where i wanted to go, and only charged me $28, which is good because Dad said it would cost like $45. I got home at like 20 past 10, my oh-so-helpful parents (who i had texted twice during the night with no reply either time) had left the front door light off (they turn it on when my brother comes home late of course), so it took me a little while to get my key and get inside. Then i talked to my parents for a little while (they were in their bedroom, in their bed, but still in their day clothes... odd), had a shower and got into bed at like 10.40. I didn't end up getting to sleep til like 12, my ears were still ringing.
In conclusion, best night ever.
And now i'm amped for sunday. ToC, here I come!

I'm coming to terms with him leaving.
I will cope. I will cry, but only for a little while.
And i'll make sure i send him a Christmas card.
And Daniel has been less weird lately. So we can talk to him still when Chris is gone.
This is what i wrote on his card:
Chris,
I will miss you. Good luck for the future. I will keep up the Thingee tormenting when you are gone.
Kirsty.
I'm going to miss him. And our inside jokes, mostly made at Thingee's expense.
I'm looking forward to the Pub tomorrow.
and this is the only thing i'm updating about because to me at the moment this is it. Next week i'll start looking at the bigger picture.
grrrrrrr at dad. if you want the computer, ASK for it. don't act like an 8 year old girl.
