9:24 pm	i was looking on stubhub.com for muse tickets and saw some bon jovi shows listed, so i checked how much tickets were going for. front row center seats for every giants stadium show are going for over EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS! and i have a feeling that someone will buy some if not all of them. that's over four time how much my car cost. crazy. but you know that if i had that kind of money, i'd be there in a heartbeat ;).

9:00 pm	long live rock and roll the tenth time was just as amazing as the first. i can't even fully explain what it means to me to see bon jovi in concert. there's just something about them. their music has been with me almost my entire life. i keep starting to write sentences trying to express myself, and i can't. there are no words. just ask kristi or jaime. once they go onstage, nothing else matters. i could probably use lines from their songs for any and all moments of my life. i know that a lot of people say that i'm "obsessed", but if they could spend a day in my head, or better yet, go to a concert with me, they will definitely see what all the fuss is about.

4:38 pm	it's extremely irritating when you are ready to go home after work and find out you need to stay, just to answer the phones, because either everyone else is out in the shop doing production, or there aren't enough other people here to do it. especially when almost everyone else has ALREADY left early. it also doesn't help when people tell you that you're cranky or in a bad mood. i don't really think i'm all that cranky. oh well. the work day is almost over either way you look at it, and i can drive all the way to battle creek listening to the brand new bon jovi album that i got up at 12:00 am this morning to buy ;) Current Mood: frustrated (Comment on this)

6:30 pm	it's a freaking miracle! it only took about 8 hours today, but my apartment is finally clean! i even scrubbed the tub, cleaned out my fridge, did some laundry, set up my new shelf thing, and put all my books away. i'm quite pleased with myself. now all i have to do is go grocery shopping, which shouldn't take too long, since i'll be here for less than a week.

9:12 pm	r.i.p. well, i went to the show on saturday. you knew i would. for one thing, i was working the door. and you know there's no way in hell i would miss the last show, no matter how mad i was about how i found out. in classic studiotone fasion, brent fucked up the words to some of their own songs, and he threw a major drama fit at the end becasue of getting cut off, but hey, it wouldn't have been a true studiotone show if he didn't. lol. highlights and lowlights... low points getting there at 8:30 and being pretty bored until the guys went on around 11 having to leave after the show to drive home because of gracie brent's disappearing act right after the show the bar cutting the guys off at 2, so they didn't get to "say goodbye" on stage or play their final song (hence brent's disappearance) i will follow being played during the first set, when i was by the door, and NOT getting it dedicated to me (which i don't really mind) no tiffany or rick springfield hearing all my songs for probably the very last time highlights the crowd being in a really good mood, sort of picking me up too free drinks all night from the bartenders (cause i'm "with" the band) and from the guys my signed set list (by everyone but brent), especially woody's comments seeing saxton play a couple of songs the saxton stamp, even though it didn't work dana and woody checking on me all night all the guys thanking me at various times during the night seeing all (well, most) of the girls getting dragged up to the stage after the show by a guy i don't know, because the guys were demanding that i do a shot with them (cause i'm "part of the band") dana's toast to "the only studiotone fan to rear end a band member" hearing all my songs (yes, both a high and low point) not crying until i left (working the door actually helped...kept me a little distracted) overall it was a good night. of course i wish it could have gone on forever, but i think they had a good run. TONS of memories, both good and bad. it's all been worth it, though. Current Mood: thankful (Comment on this)

8:25 am	it seems like lately i have a one track mind, and it's driving me crazy. i'll get momentarily distracted by something else, and then i'll have a spare minute, and bam! there it is again. even when i'm not "directly" thinking about it, it's running around in my head. (Comment on this)

6:23 pm	Feliz Navidad! Seeing as how i'm gonna be in Mexico for Christmas, i thought i'd wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas just a little early. I'll also throw in a Happy New Year while i'm at it, because, except for a very select few of you, i won't be seeing or talking to ya'll til next year. Have fun, be safe! (Comment on this)

8:25 pm	i was close so, this time it wasn't epischleritis. it was iritis. instead of an inflammation of the outer layer of the eye, it's an inflammation/infection of the inner eye. basic same symptoms, except this time it didn't go better. so i went to my "healthcare provider", who referred me to an opthamologist, who gave me the diagnoses, along with a couple of different eyedrops. just as i've been telling my parents, they don't know what causes it. i'm just lucky i guess ;) Current Mood: despite the pain in my eye (Comment on this)

2:42 pm	it's about freakin' time! tomorrow's the big day. i'm going over on my lunch hour to sign the lease, etc, and then after work i'll start moving in. i can't wait! these two weeks seem to have dragged by SO slowly. it's going to be really crazy for a while, especially since i leave for nebraska on saturday and will be moving in at night after work, but it's gonna be so worth it, because i'll finally have a place of my own! and after mexico i'm gonna get gizmo! yay! everything's working out rather well right now. kind of scary ;) Current Mood: excited (Comment on this)

9:03 am	100 greatest songs of the 80's...according to vh1 and its viewers, the #1 song is (drumroll please)...BON JOVI, LIVIN' ON A PRAYER!!!!! yeah, baby! just goes to show that i am NOT the only one ;) i have to admit i didn't think they'd be #1. i hoped they would be, but i've hoped for lots of stuff in the past that didn't happen. they beat out a lot of songs, including pour some sugar on me (#2), u2, michael jackson, journey, van halen, and acdc. i know this isn't a big deal by any means, but it made me excited last night. and my boys STILL know how to rock!

11:44 pm	i'm inching closer to accomplishing one of my recent goals. my mom found a reputable site to possibly purchase the pet i desire, and doesn't seem particularly adverse to having one in the house, at least for just a little while since i am gonna try and find an apt before the end of the year. i've just spent the last hour looking at various websites on buying and caring for them. YAY! i am so excited! (Comment on this)

9:24 am	i think that this was the best birthday i've had in a long time. my dad came and surprised me with flowers and balloons at work, which was really cute. went to lansing friday night with kristi and kylie to hear a cover band that i thought would play bon jovi, only to find out that they had a new lead singer who DIDN'T KNOW THE WORDS! whatever. still had a great time. saw brent and his girl, jeff and jill, and carrie there. brent actually sang a couple of songs with the band, which was cool. AND, i didn't get yelled at once! it was a birthday miracle :) partied at kristi's house after the show...good times. she made me a wonderful birthday breakfast on saturday and got me some really cool stuff. some bracelets, a necklace, and a kick-ass hat that i wore home on saturday. saturday afternoon my family came over. we celebrated my birthday and megan's, because her mom's "so busy". i think meg really liked the stuff we got her, which is good, because i picked it all out. yesterday i went shopping and spent some of my birthday money. got some cool shirts, a lovely PURPLE purse, a hat, and a belt. didn't do too bad. the celebrations will continue this upcoming weekend with a road trip to detroit for pss and kristi's b-day. what can i say? libras rule! the weekend after that i get to go back to d-town to see the fabulous 30 seconds to mars, and then it's off to gr that tuesday to see def leppard and journey with my little brother (christmas is coming early this year!) a trip to nebraska is also in the works, but i have no idea where that's gonna fit in.

7:46 am	brad and monica are leaving for nebraska today. last night was good, but it still sucked. we had them over for dinner, and no one wanted the night to end. of course, i had to be the killjoy, cause i'm still so freaking tired. goodbyes were kind of rough, and we all started crying. i didn't stay around much after that, cause we all know how i am with crying in front of people, etc. they ended up staying for at least another half an hour talking to mom and dad in the front hall. that's about all i'm gonna say about it, cause if i think about it too much, i'll start crying again, and i'm at work. anyway...how many days until thanksgiving?

11:36 am	the countdown has begun! i was just admiring some of the pictures of jared leto on a couple of myspace pages. i CANNOT WAIT until tomorrow night! dear lord, he is SO hot! AND he can sing! yikes. i don't know how i'm gonna contain myself. should be crazy. plus, my new sister-in-law is going to the show with me. it's gonna be one crazy night, especially with the kds show afterwards. two weeks from tonight i will be on a train on my way to chicago to see BON JOVI. ya'll think i'm going crazy for 30stm? you ain't seen NOTHING yet (but you all already know that). and i don't want to hear anyone making fun of me for how much money i spent for the ticket, or that it's for bon jovi. i get enough of that from my brother, and i'm sick of explaining to everyone just how much they mean to me. if you don't understand that, then you obviously don't know me very well. okay, i'm off my soap box now. and did i mention that exactly one week after bon jovi i get to see MUSE?! this month is the most awesome month in the world! not only are three out of my top five bands touring, but i get to see them all in the space of three weeks!!!!!!!!

9:42 am	i can't do it all myself i am so fucking sick of hearing how people at wmu think that things ran so much better here when john was running the copy desk. heaven forbid anything change in the slightest. let's forget for one second that john had one full-time person and one to two part-time people to help him out, and i usually don't have ANYONE else here besides me. let's also forget that half the jobs they ran through here never got billed properly. i'm also getting really sick of jose's attitude. he keeps trying to make me feel guilty for being here by "relaying" all these messages, insinuating that i'm not doing a good job. i didn't ask for this position, i'm not the reason that john, charlie and joe got fired, and it's not my fault that no one down at the shop can do their fucking jobs except for jason. heaven forbid anyone else step up, use their brains, and help out once in a while. i'm sure the attitudes are just gonna get worse in a couple of weeks once i'm back down there. oh yeah. seeing as how i haven't really had much of chance to talk to anyone lately, i probably haven't mentioned that i am going back downtown in a week and a half. they need me too much down there for me to be wasting my time up here. one of our sales reps is going to be the manager up here, mainly because he hasn't been doing a very good job of selling. so i get to go back to the shop and whip everyone into shape. i wish that i could just go home and crawl back into bed, but i can't, because then there would be no one to cover the desk, because once again, i am here, BY MYSELF!!!

8:57 am	it's really weird to see people you went to grade school with all grown up. last night i went to a funeral for one of my mom's friends. i went to grade school with her eldest son, and our families hung out when we were kids, but i haven't seen any of them since i graduated eighth grade. it took me a minute to recognize the two eldest sons, and i wouldn't have recognized the daughters at all. there was also another guy i went to school with there, who is now married and expecting his first kid. haven't seen him in probably ten years at least. let me just say that it was incredibly awesome to say that i'm still living with my parents in kalamazoo, while almost everyone i grew up with has moved away, started real lives, and seems to be doing well. yeah. i don't think today is going to be a very good day.
