The further away I am from my phone the more likely it is that it will ring.

People are 90% more likely to need to talk to me if I am heading toward my phone to answer it.

Stuffing a cracker in my mouth ups the chances of my phone ringing greatly.

Poll #1218836 Warped
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

I am going to Warped in Uniondale, NY on July 26th

Chocolate Skittles come in the following flavors: s'mores, vanilla, chocolate caramel, chocolate pudding, and brownie batter. Vanilla does not count as a chocolate flavor. It's the opposite of chocolate. It's the anti-chocolate!


( This is why I'm usually not allowed to have more than one day off a week ... )

I got dressed today. Mainly because the grocery store doesn't like it if you attempt to shop pantsless. Yesterday was spent in my pajamas in bed. Apparently I'm too old to stay out all night.

I totally get it now. I'm kinda stupidly in love with them. I foresee a lot of time spent in church basements, bowling alleys, and diners/pubs in my future.

GPS, which was awesome at getting us there, failed at getting us home in a timely fashion. U-turns are not to be made on major highways even if it is 3am and there is no traffic. There are barriers in the way.

They're covering Dead!

Covering my favorite Brand New song acoustically is cheating!

FREEDOM! \o/

Blank labels and Sharpie have been acquired for tonight.

PETE. ♥_♥

INVENTORY WAS INVENTED IN HELL. The special hell.

If you're like me and generally use your iPod as your main music playing device, you are fucked when bands do that hidden track thing that you have to rewind to get to because they stuck it in before track one and computers don't see that track.  But never fear! After much research and many hoops, I have managed to find a way to rip that track.

Goodbye, Bear - Ludo

I also split In Space and Boat Song because northernsky_ said it should be done.

Boat Song - Ludo

I caught the last few minutes of the FNMTV rerun last night. Man, that show has a lot of flashy lights. Pete, you need to get Ludo on there.

There needs to be a Ludo LJ community. I may be thinking of starting one. Project for next weekend!

Trying to figure out travel plans for Warped. Camden is out. There's no way I'm going to be able to get out of work early enough. Uniondale is a definite and there's currently a 72% chance of Scranton happening.  Scranton really depends on what time Ludo plays.

Option A for crazy travel plan: get up at 2am, leave house by 3am, get jadziadrgnrdr, head to CT to steal dirtyscoundrel by 8am, head back down to NY for Warped.
Pro: No traffic!
Con: No sleep. Unless I go to bed at 5pm and manage to fall asleep. Has been done before, but I had The Cab plague and was sleeping 12-14hrs at a shot. Do not have Cab plague, do not want Cab plague.

Option B: Get jadziadrgnrdr Friday night and then head to CT. Go to NY in morning.
Pro: Sleep! Extra time with Hannah!
Con: Traffic. Really, the only place this is an issue is NY. I have a rule about not driving in NY any time around or after lunch time. I swear lot and say mean things. Might sprain my middle fingers. I refuse to be anywhere near NY for 5pm traffic. No. Did that once and will never ever do that again.

New layout. I did something productive today. \o/ Going to work doesn't count. That wasn't productive. I've continued to avoid the one thing I've needed to do for the past month and I have until Friday to do it. At this rate, it will be avoided until the very last minute. I excel at procrastination.

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter (if you want one.)
2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions

nightxparade gave me M.

Mutiny Below - Ludo
Like I wasn't going to include a Ludo song.
I finally let go and learned to live without you / after all those weeks alone, but now you're back for more / I'm trying to fight it off but there's a mutiny below.

Marches And Maneuvers - Thursday
Also never going to turn down a chance to pimp a Thursday song.
It's: one part loss, one part no sleep, one part the gun shot we heard, one part the screams mistaken for laughter, one part everything after, one part love, one part stepping out in the driving rain, one part parting ways, in the cold apartment. Don't look back, just keep running down the stairs.

They say, after time, all this will heal, we will rebuild and these broken arms will mend themselves in our embrace.

A Masters in Reverse Psychology - Murder By Death
They toured with Thursday, which is how I heard about them. I think they've also toured with The Hush Sound.
Put the bullet in the barrel / take the safety off / keep shootin' at the devil in the moonlight / put it all on black till your luck comes back.

MakeDamnSure - Taking Back Sunday
A long night spent with your most obvious weakness / you start shaking at the thought / you are everything I want / 'cause you are everything I'm not.

Mitternacht - E Nomine
And now for something completely different! Blame this one on an awesome FMA vid.


I skipped bandom songs because pretty much everyone already has them. TBS can be included in bandom, but most of you seem to lean more toward the FBR/Decaydance + MCR side of bandom than the Long Island side. Thursday and Ludo need to be included in bandom, but we'll cover that later.

TOMRAD JUST POSTED THAT 8/8/08 IS A GOOD DATE TO LEAVE CHICAGO WITH A FEW CLOSE FRIENDS! EMPIRES TOUR PLZ!

Except please do not clash with Ludo dates. Thank you.

I love you, Metro Station! Their hitlist is playing on MTVHits right now. They picked Beat It. I can haz a Patrick Stump being a hot ass on my TV! \o/

I got my Northern Downpour shirt. It's not ugly. I'm confused. And pleased. But mainly confused.

Last night I went to see Ludo, which I'm sure comes as a shock to many of you because it's not like I've seen them five times in ten days or anything like that. Met up with sparkfrost and her awesome boyfriend, who put up with us talking about porn and ruined coffee tables for a good portion of the night. 

It was Sing It Loud's last night on the tour. This meant shenanigans. Alex from All Time Low was there and came out to sing with Sing It Loud. We saw him walking around causing girls to squeal and point, but had no clue who he was at the time*. Later Sing It Loud came out while Ludo was performing Love Me Dead. Nate was prancing and dancing across the stage. Cannot handle preciousness! They need to be on Warped tour so I can see them again.

Concert called northernsky_ for most of Ludo's set because it just doesn't seem right to see them without her. It's totally her fault I'm all ♥_♥ about them. If she hadn't been telling awesome story after awesome story at Bamboozle, dirtyscoundrel and I would have ended up at another stage watching I can't remember who instead of Ludo.

No more Ludo until late July. ;_;

As much as I wanted to see Steel Train, I had to leave so I didn't get home too late because I had to get up at 5am for work. Why couldn't they have been in Lancaster. It was the only show I was able to stay for the whole thing. Damn you, adult responsibilities.

*I like All Time Low, but up until last night had no clue what any of the band members looked like and honestly, he looks like a scene kid so if there hadn't been squealing fangirls, I would have thought he was just a scene kid. Sorry, Alex! This show had more scene kids than any of the other's I had been to on this tour, so you blended in more, dude.

So much scene hair! No band shirts yet though. I do see inappropriate footwear. Why won't someone teach the children?

Rotaries are made of fail.
