A toast to bad taste

it's been a while since i've updated this, and that was a tiny bit depressing. the highlights:

+end of summer & less than two weeks before i start college

+thursday: went to the final riot at mud island.
       - i got my friends in free. they acted extremely ungrateful. i got upset, so they acted immature and texted each other
         about it. seriously? i thought we were going to college.
       - jack's mannequin is amazing. their show wasn't over dramatic or filled with fiery special effects. it was real music
         backed with actual talent. andrew mcmahon is possibly my favorite musician i've seen live. i was in total awe for
         hours after their performance. seeing them on a headlining gig is on my wish list.

+i've been talking with my new roommate.
       - she's into country. i like it too, but it's her favorite kind of music, so we're both in for a little change.

+tuesday: mayhem fest in atlanta.
        - we left memphis around 4.
        - i got in free w/ VIP status. i worked in a tent for most of the day so i avoided the rain...for a while. myke, the guy in
          charge, had us pack up once the hot topic & jaegermaister stage finished. he then led us to the main stage...then
          to the pit. caught the end of dragonforce's set and watched disturbed and slipknot. not bad, but i would have
          enjoyed it more if i hadn't been kicked in the head by some jerk who, once he hit the ground, almost got me to use
          violence.

so i just got back a few hours ago, and i' m a little withdrawn from my friends. being with them for that long makes me feel much better about moving. i'm ready to meet new people and maybe some less drama filled friends.
