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... :)
