...................my life. explanation later.

edit. alright, so. here it is. i woke up this morning, more excited for bryce tomorrow than the academy is..., tonight. idk. i guess i was just more pumped! so, started getting ready after my shower when tor calls me. basically, her friend jamie had meet and greet with TAI and mayday in jersey, but they fucked up her date, and made it for the donkey. she was fucking nice enough to help set it up for me. so, i was basically DED. wasn't really expecting to meet the TAI boys so i was incredibly happy. so, i was texting jamie and i asked her if it was at a table. her reply was possibly the best thing i've ever heard in my life. private meet and greet with TAI and mayday, just me and a friend. basically DYING. i can't even. i'm so glad there are some nice people in the world. thank you so much to her and to tor, because i don't think my night would have been half as fucking epic without them. anyway. so, i get ready. kinda stressed but it's kay. basically flailing around my house, because if you know me you know that tends to happen a lot. left at 4:15 for the donkey. got there around 4:45 and met up with paloma, izzy and rachel. marissa was there! and soon sam came! yayayay. so sam, paloma and i decided to walk to chipotle to get food. good thing chislett was there with his wife..... LOL awkward times. we left and ended up walking somewhat behind them on route 110? why does this happen LOL. anyway. got back on line, found sam a ticket! at 5:30, SLH m&g was lining up so sam left. i was texting nichole, who works for AP and was setting up the thing for us! i asked her when to meet her and she said 7. sooo, doors opened at 6, woo! went in, chilled. you me at six was good times, qt british bands ftw! oh and ps, i love people from my school at shows. LOL NOT. before we went insides, there was a mayday parade signing! got on that line and met them, qt! they signed one of my belts hahaha. sooo, YMAS were on, i looked at my phone and it was 6:55. i asked nichole where she was, and she said the AP table. walked over there with paloma and found her. so then, she whips out 2 all access passes. hi, this is me loving my life. "so, in a few minutes we'll go out to the back by the buses." WHAT? shaking. we walked through the donkey and out the back door. standing next to the bus with lomes. nichole goes in for a second, and then comes back out to take us on. this was exactly 7pm. lomes walks on first. i kinda wanted to cry. walked up the stairs to see my second favorite band sitting right in front of me.. on their bus...... ah. shit. i sat down with william beckett on my right and mike carden on my left. sisky across from me, chiz and butcher to the right of him, and loma was on the other side of sisky. k so....... fucking ded. WILLIAM BECKETT. SITTING. NEXT TO ME. one of the most brilliant people i've ever met, my inspiration, everything. hi. introduced ourselves. and honestly, i couldn't even tell you what went down during that 15 minutes on their bus. so much funny shit. talking about cops, cosby show, spongebob, sisky being the deputy?, becks being a bridezilla, touring, past shows, niagra falls, friends, beards, haircuts, bill&trav's...... etc. as i was sitting there i was just thinking about everything. how many years have i loved this band? how many times have i seen them? how much do they fucking mean to me? it was honestly a fucking wish come true. then nichole suggested we get stuff signed and take pictures. got my pictures with them from last november signed, they were so cute about it! talked about sisky's hair, ahahaha. then took a group picture! next to beckett >:] LOL they're so awkward and i love it. right after the picture beckett turns to me, "i really like your vest by the way!" oh, um... okay. i love you. lmfao ded. after all that. i hugged beckett, and then the rest of them too. they were thanking us for coming to meet them, what? that band has done everything for me, and i'm so endlessly grateful. thank you more than you know. basically floated off the bus. smiling so much while writing this. nichole brought us over to mayday parade's bus, OH. went on and then came back out for us, this time i walked on first. introduced ourselves and sat down! brookes was to my left, and loma to my right. jake, derek and jeremy were across from me. alex came a few minutes later! kso, those boys are so funny. talked about random things again. doritos, sleeping, being spanish, indians, hot wings, cheap cereal, being on tour, sets, headlining, and other stuff. LMFAO i don't think anyone understands how funny they are. then i asked alex to call jamie! obviously i needed to say thank you somehow, although i really could never repay her or tor. btw, only best friends get each other on their favorite band's buses :)! so then, we talked a bit more, and then took pictures. i said to be crazy, LOL. pretty easy. funny times, i seriously love them. when we were about to leave brookes walked up and gave us hugs, obviously leading to hugging them all. so cute. walked off the happiest fucking person alive. said thank you to nichole a million times walking back into the donkey. i wanted to cry of happiness. the secret handshake was on and i was basically flailing around everywhere. i honestly could not ask for a better life, i'm so grateful for everything that happens to me. meeting my heroes, the people who have literally shaped who i am, is probably the best feeling in the world. anyway. luis! qttttt. oh, forgot to mentionnn! i bought a TAI dogtag, it's ADORABLE. it says the academy is... on the front and i'm yours tonight on the back. ahhh love life. after luis was set your goals, didn't really pay attention. hung out outside with paloma, izzy, rachel, sam, brooke and marissa. then, mayday came on. they were good good! played a bunch of old songs, i was happy. i was with sam during that. after they were done, i was PUMPED. loma, izzy and rachel went in the pit for them so i wasn't wif dem. i love TAI pits to death, seriously, so i wasn't missing it. ran into the crowd, but i was alone! so, i went and found ze becerra sisters. decided to go in, ahhhhhh. THE BEST. i was dying dying dying. we got so close. and then butcher, sisky, carden and chiz came out. of course beckett was last. ded. haven't seen them in almost a year. they opened with almost here. i fucking love this band for remembering where they came from. next was neighbors (AHHHH), checkmarks, about a girl, classifieds, rumored nights, 40 steps, sputter, summer hair = forever young, and closed with slow down. 1. I LOVE MY LIFE AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY PLAYED 40 STEPS. not a lot of people know that song and they dedicated it to SLH. oh life. 2. 4 songs from almost here, seriously? i love everyone. 3. sputter was absolutely amazing. oh, my boys. never cease to amaze me. so, after, walked around a little bit with people. didn't really need to meet anyone else, my night is fucking complete. i love my life more than you know. and so begins the best week of my life. bryce tomorrow. WHAT? <3.
