Hardcore Dancing

2010-08-09T12:05:00.001-04:00

So my friend took me to a metal concert last night, first metal concert I've ever been to. It wasnt any super big names or anything but a metal concert none the less. He had warned me prior that there might be some hardcore dancers so I needed to look out and I was like "ummm k!" This picture was impossible to draw so I decided to just make it look ridiculous because that is exactly how these people looked.

Hardcore dancing involves tons of energy, massive amounts of flailing, headbanging and pretending you're fighting off 90 people at once so a few roundhouse kicks will be involved. I honestly couldn't focus on much else other than dodging people for my safety and laughing at how hilarious it looks. Especially when lots of people are doing it at once. The crowd ends up leaving a wide area for all the crazies to do their thing. Here is a professionally drawn diagram to show the layout of a metal concert.

This is an accurate representation of how it goes. You have the front row practically hugging the stage and there were about 5 guys headbanging completely in sync. Behind them you get the "circle." It doesn't start out a circle in the beginning. It just sort of evolves that way once people start flailing around. So you end up with a little moon shape where they do there thing and then you have everyone in the back that is hoping not to get hit but still wants to listen lol. You also have the people that do their moshing every once in a while which is funny because I honestly think the moshing is just the people that want to purposely run into the hardcore dancers. I was afraid to attempt the mosh because I was probably the tiniest chick there and I'm sure I'd have been floor material in a matter of seconds...
I did also noticed that in all of the bands we watched....there was always someone standing/jumping on a speaker at all times....all in all...interestinggg times

Squirrel

Squirrels are super adorable and of course i love their super cute faces XD but there are times when i really, reaaally dislike them. Such times would include: driving and they decide to go all kamikaze on me which results in swerving and high pitched squealing (from me...not the car), when trying to grow little vegetable gardens and also when letting the dog out to go pee.

Some squirrel combinations just dont work...especially when they involve you hooking your dog to a rope while standing near a mud puddle and being oblivious to a rope near your ankle as a squirrel darts its fluffy self across your yard.

BEST SALAD EVER!

2010-07-28T10:27:00.000-04:00

So I had a stroke of awesomeness yesterday while eating lunch. I had gotten one of those premade salad things from the grocery store and it had been in the fridge for a few days. I went to eat it yesterday at work and the lettuce looked all funky so I decided to throw it out...but I was still hungry. What should I do? All that was left in the salad was ham, bacon and eggs with blue cheese dressing. I can't possibly eat just those...how unhealthy! Psh, screw being healthy and let me just tell you now...BEST SALAD IN THE HISTORY OF SALADS EVERYWHERE, FOREVER, THE END!!

You No Sees Me

2010-07-07T08:59:00.000-04:00

We've got a lot of people in the office today so I keep trying to figure out ways I can dodge them all. I saw this box half broken in the kitchen and the temptation to crawl in it was so great I actually stood in it. I heard someone coming though and I jumped out of the box like a spaz, only to make lots of noise so naturally everyone had to see what the psycho was up to. I played it cool though (as much as a person jumping out of a box CAN play it cool...). They all pretty much just peered in to see what was wrong and i told them I dropped a roll of paper towels. Pretty sure no one bought it but hey whatever! Iz be hidin! I do what i want!

Withdrawals

Sorry I forgot to post yesterday! Life happened! This is ALMOST a true story (I didn't huddle up in a corner and twitch and what-not). I actually lost my chapstick for about 2 hours at work on Tuesday and I started going insane. I'm a chapstick addict (literally) so I start going nuts when I haven't used it in a while. Hey, there could be worse things to be addicted to!

If I could get away with it I totally would....

I doubt my work would be too thrilled though..drat!

Everyone Hates Murlocs

2010-06-18T21:14:00.006-04:00

I SERIOUSLYYY think they need to come out with a murloc whack-a-mole game. To physically smash a murloc when you hear it's sickening "mrgghhlll urrgghlll" noise would be so satisfying. Dont deny it. You'd love it too

Whoooo's A Fat Kid?!

2010-06-16T19:09:00.000-04:00

True story too! She didn't stand on a chair or anything but she did hold it above my head and wave it at me while I was sitting at my desk. She wouldn't give me the cupcake until I said I was a fat kid......it was delicioussss >_>
