xv. she's ripping wings off of butterflies.

It's a little late (I know) but, I saw Paramore last Thursday! Although most of the people who read this already know and have heard me talk about it, I'm going to tell you all again anyways. So Matt was visiting all week last week which was fun so he came along as well (correction: not to Paramore just to Toronto).

We went with Nicole first to see Lights at MTV (Okay two important things need to be noted here, 1. I used to intern at MTV, 2. I haven't been there since then until now) So we were super late like we got there at 6:20 but we managed to squeeze in a bit of her performance (most of which was watched at security). So besides the performance the only thing MTV really did for me was make me miss all the other interns (well most of them...) So I was a little sad cause it was kind of like flashback to April, but I got over it.

Next we went to Subway down the street (Okay there is an importance to this part) While we were there I got this like massive headache like my eye started hurting, I don't know why, it sucked a lot though. However I still went to Paramore.

Matt and I parted ways with Nicole and made our way to Kool Haus (or in his case Loblaws to talk to moms). I guess I look like a Paramore fan because two groups of people knew where we were going and one just assumed and started following us I'm going to call them the Bowmanville kids cause that's where they were from.

Once we found Kool Haus my headache was worse, it was freezing, I had to go to the washroom and Matt wanted apples, so we went into Loblaws. We ended up sitting there for like an hour and after like 20 texts from Brandon D claiming I was going to miss it, I went to Kool Haus.

I didn't miss it. Although the amount of guys there in groups of guys with no girls was ridiculous and it pissed me off! They were all super tall and the entire time I could barely see anything, even Brandon couldn't and he's quite a bit taller than me.

Okay no more complaining here is the awesome part. Paramore took the stage and although I couldn't see anything basically I was in heaven. They played most of their new cd and the rest was hits (I was shocked that they didn't play "Pressure", their first hit ever). Highlights more specific than the whole thing was when they played songs off their first album "All we know is Falling" being Conspiracy, Emergency and Here we go Again. Basically if I haven't stated before "All we know is Falling" is not only my favourite Paramore cd but one of my favourite cds in general. I really wish they would play "My Heart" or "Franklin" but I know it's not going to happen (this is the third time I've seen them live and they've only played My Heart once in 2008 by audience request online) But yeah... that was the Paramore concert, one last thing, my headache went away during the concert, I don't want to say Paramore has powers but you know... :)

xiv. we knew this was coming.

THE NEW PARAMORE CD CAME OUT LAST TUESDAY.

and of course, yours truly has it.

Being the Paramore fan that I am I'm not going to say that "Brand New Eyes" is my favourite album. It's not. "All we know is Falling" is still my favourite Paramore cd.

Anyways, other news:

I also bought Lights' album "The Listening" I enjoy it quite a bit. It's been on repeat along with "Brand New Eyes", although I already owned half the songs on it.

I bought Brand New's new album last week as well, and I feel horrible about saying this but I have honestly not had the time to listen to it yet... I'll do that today while I do my mountains of homework that is due this week.

I will be headed back to North Bay in 5 days. SUPER STOKED. I haven't been home home since the end of August.

As pre noted, my homework load is intensely huge.

Tegan and Sara tickets are on sale for Toronto in January. Yes I really really want to go, but, I really really don't want to put the tickets on my VISA hmm...

New boys I'm keeping on the down low, sorry bloggers. I am still single though :)

I also bought the third season of How I Met Your Mother this week. Let me explain. I've been watching the show religiously on television for three years now. I was actually watching the show when it was on tv for its 2nd, 3rd, 4th and now 5th seasons, but the thing is although I love owning box sets I refuse to buy them until they go down in price (I still don't own LOST season 4...still) ridiculous right? Yeah it really is, but I waited and waited and FINALLY HMV put the third season on sale, I bought it right away.

The countdown is on, Paramore live in twelve days, eeeek.
