So coming out of the bathroom giggling and seeing the guys kind of just look at me, kind of nervous and I just wanted to start laughing because of how they looked at me and the girl I was with. It probably was because Alex was daring me to wash my hands in the urinal and they probably heard it. Oops oh well....
So Fred came in and said that all the radio station people would group together and go up and get their picture taken first. I was very pleased with that being that they didn't even get to meet them or take the time to shake hands or talk to them. They won it for free I paid for it. Once the radio people quickly got out of the way Shawn told us to line up and we'd all get to meet them and take a picture. the picture that was being taken would be sent to us in about 4 weeks. So everyone got into line and I was in the back talking with Abby and my mom. Well shawn was just sitting around so my mom when up and talked to him some more right when the band was there 5 feet away from her. Being that shawn is best friend with them I guess they noticed how she was really nice and friendly with him, she even gave him a mint which the guys saw. We were second to last in line, I'll be honest, I was pretty nervous to meet them but I kept it cool and collected. At the beginning jesse said not to shake ryan's hand because he was sick, but I did anyways. I asked him how is arm was doing and when he would be back, he said, "I'm doing well and hopefully soon, thanks." With a big giant grin. Mickey was next he said hey how's it going nice shoes, (my chuck taylors I had bought just for the show) Then he asked my mom if she made her tye-dye shirt, he's like, "That's a sweet shirt, did you make it yourself." My mom was too busy hugging adam at the time so I said no but when we saw you here about 3 years ago we did, you should have seen them. He's like awesome. Jesse was up next, who I adore, I've been a piano player for awhile and seeing him rock out is so cool. Well his hand was behind his back and wasn't going to shake my hand. I was like hey how's it going, and I'm like can i just shake your hand he's like ummm and slowly brings his hand from behind his back and said, of course! with a big smile. And at this point fred told us to hurry up so I had to fly passed James who I have found a new love for. I said hey and shook his hand. Then it was adam, he was feeling or looking sick so I asked him how he was doing, he's like i'm just really tired, I just woke up. Being the smartass that I am I said I have been up since 6 am and I'm ready to pass out. He smiled and said turn and smile. I was in between James and Adam and I had my hands on their backs. I was just in awe of being next to them I didn't notice until something. Took the picture said thanks and left. Well come to find out Lori told me that through out all the pictures Adam had his hand on James so he didn't have to touch the person who was standing next to him. Well I guess when I went up there he put his arm around me which I was in too much of excitement to notice. YAY ME! My mom and I got to talk to them for the longest time, i think it's because of seeing us being so personable and nice to their friend Shawn. Maybe not but It was so much fun!!! I am mad that I didn't hug them, oh well that just gives me a reason to go and meet them again!
So after everyone got their autographed picture we were led out back to the main entrance of the concert. Well my mom was talking to shawn and I took a picture of them together. It's cute, yay for shawn!! He's pretty sweet guy and doesn't get enough credit for all the work he does. So we went to go get our tickets which we didn't know where they were. I was hoping for 3rd row being that the 1st and 2nd were random and you had to look up to see I wanted 3rd. I figured I would be able to see them in eye sight. I sign my life away and get the tickets my mom looks and them and was 3rd row front and center!! YAY we were more on the mickey side which I had no problem with, Adam would be right in front of me. I was getting even more excited for the night to come!!
The rest of the girls from the message board were going to get some more drinks in them, well I was really tired and getting cranky as well as my mom so we went to go lay down in the car for awhile because we had time till the concert. We were laying around and I called Bejya and Erica to let them know about the fun that I had already. Around 6 we decided we'd go and see if we could get into the venue and buy the posters I wanted and bring them back to the car. Well we go in and he's like well you can go over to the "iron goal grill" and eat there until it opens at 6:30. He caught my dad's digital camera and told me I'd have to bring that back to the car. But what he didn't catch was my digital camera, my sweet phone looking one. We were the only ones there and got our food which was excellent. Then people started filling in because the venue wasn't open yet. Once we were done we went to go buy the posters and stickers. I took them back to the car and told my mom that we should wander around the venue. Well as we were wandering around we saw the 2nd car that maroon 5 designed, the honda coupe, it was black and cute I wanted it! As we were walking I ran into these 4 girls from high school who are seniors now. Well I liked one of them the rest of them kind of just pissed me off, especially this one Jessi Meyer who thinks she's better than anyone. I chatted with them and asked them where they were sitting, "We've got really good seats, we're in section 101." I was like oh really well I am 3 row front and center on the floor. The expression on their faces were awesome what that's awesome. I then had to add in how I met them and went to the soundcheck already. Then my best friend Jessi looked at me and was like how did YOU get to do that? I said I have my connections and walked away. It was so AWESOME! I loved it! They all just looked depressed afterwards. Okay well I'm done with this one for the day at least for now since english class is done and we've done nothing today!! Part 3 to come later!

Part 1 of the best day of my life...
Last night was one of the best times I have had at a Maroon 5 concert and I have been to many of them.
The day started out with me waking up at 6:30 am to get ready to go and make sure everything was ready for the trip to the cities. It was a two hour drive with my mom. My mom is also a big fan and is known around here at college as the "cool sweet mom" We went to Mall of America to waste time until 1:30 where we were going to go meet Abby (Maroon5tweak) Lori (theoperainme)and her fiance and brother at the liffey near the xcel energy center. It was fun getting to know everyone.
It was 3:15 and we headed over to the place where we all were supposed to meet shawn. We meet up with rachel (gardensgrey) and her friend. Well come to find out that a radio station had also given out tickets to the soundcheck and the meet and greet. I was pissed, especially if they thought that they would get the same treatment as us SINners did. I paid for these, not win them off the radio. While we were waiting you could hear adam playing a little bit and talking to the sound guys which got me even more pumped!
Shawn came around at 3:45 and got everything situated. He told us to that it'd be about 10-15 minutes more to make sure everyone was here. While we were waiting around my mom being the friendly person she is, went up and had a chit chat with shawn for the remaing time. she got to know him pretty well and heard some pretty great stories from him.
We all were sent into sound check around 4. The sinners and the radio station winners were seperated with us being in the first 3 rows. Which made me so much happier! James and adam came in first leading mickey and jesse. adam came in and made this strong man muscle pose which was hilarious! through out the soundcheck they played rage against the machine and soundgarden which was awesome. Adam didn't sing much i thing that his voice was tired or something, because at one point james said let's do the ending of the sun and adam pointed at his throat and did this cute funny thing with his thumb. James and mickey left while adam went onto the drum set and played for awhile while Jesse was chillin' playing/improvising on the keys. Adam left and jesse made a comment saying, "I'll see you all later, in 30 seconds."
Shawn then lead us to this hockey locker room thing, where normally this would be where the team would be or used for concerts. Well my mom was talking to shawn again, a few of us asked shawn if we had time to run to the bathroom which he said was fine. Well we get back and they already had come in....well time to go watch queer as folk with AJ i'll write more tomorrow!

4 days!!!!
"Don't do drugs kids, unless you really hurt something....and your heart doesn't count."~Adam Levine
So it's down to 4 days until one of my goals in my life is finally coming true. That's right kids I am going to be able to meet all 5 members of maroon 5. This has been a long time coming and words can't express how excited I really am. My roomie has told me that she's sick of Maroon 5 even though I don't play it that much. She told me that I can't play it anymore, well that's too bad i'm going to play it as loud and as long as I want. It's my radio and stero, my music, my noise volume. Wow that totally made me sound like a complete bitch, but it's Maroon 5 you just don't tell me to turn that sutff off, it's sin in my eyes.
School is going well I think, I am kind of having a hard time trying to focus when I have the thought of my mom and her being really sick on my mindall the time. I wish I could just be home so I can help out and make her feel better. I guess summer is coming soon so it will be better once I am home. I'm getting tired though and I'm going to bed have a great night
Love peace and chicken grease.

I'm a terrible person....
"By the time I recognize this moment this moment will be gone, but i will be the light pretendin' that it somehow lingered on..."~John Mayer
So it is a friday night and about 10:45 and I'm bored out of my mind. You would think that I would be out having fun and partying the night away....nope not tonight. I've had a little too much of that recently and in a strange way am enjoying the time by myself. So I am a terrible person. I can't keep my promises and should be shot. there is a friend of mine who I was planning on going to go shopping with today after classes. I was really tired and came back and fell asleep and totally spaced the whole thing. Well I got a hold of him later and he said that's cool and maybe go tomorrow instead. Well I was down with that but then I thought I'd be up for going around 5ish. Comes to find out I pass out again on my comfy bed till around 6. My friends had made plans and being that I have the only car out of the group I was forced to go with them. What sucked is that I left poor A.J. and stood him up. I felt horrible, I invited him to come along but here are his exact words ," Well I don't have money to go out to eat and don't really want to hang out with all those other people I like YOU. So I guess i'll stay here." it breaks my heart to hear this. I felt like the size of a pea and feel super bad. I owe him huge. And to make things better going out tonight for dinner wasn't that great at all anyways. BLAH i should have just ditched them and stuck with my plans...GRRRR!! stupid me. So AJ buddy if you are reading this I am truly sorry and feel so bad, I'll make it up to you some how some day, and remember I heart you !!!!!
So nothing other than that to really write about. I'm kind of have a problem with people who are close to me in my life right now. I've made it through harder times than this. So i'll be okay, I kind of miss my guys and gals back home who love me. I'm feeling like this my friends back home all loved each other without thinking about it or feeling like we had to. How we cared about everything that was going on in each others lives without even thinking or feeling like we were forced to ask. I miss all the hugs and the love we all had for each other radiating. you don't get that here. At times i guess I feel alone in a world when there are people all around me. don't get me wrong i have people here who are like that but it's totally diffrent. I can't just climb into one of my girl friends bed and lay there and cuddle when I'm having a horrible day. When back at home my friends would know right away if I was having a bad day and with in a split second I would have a huge hug hopeing to make things better. Maybe it's my fault that I am able to put on a mask at times to make people believe that I am okay when really I am not. Maybe I should stop trying to be the happy person all the time and actually let people know when I'm having a rough time. But that's not me...I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Summer is almost here so that might make things a lot better!
