wish_i_was_adie

Things I like:Green Day, the first snowfall, spending time with my friends, learning to drive, movies, holidays, photograhpy, my computer, inside jokes, traveling, baking, eating what I've baked, writing, listening to music, taking pictures, going to concerts, making new friends, summer, the smell of rain, puppies, giving/getting a massage, warm weather, helping my friends solve their problems, talking on the phone, not being nagged, being in an empty house for a few hours . . . or weeks, working on my GSB/Mibba story, meeting new people

Things I hate:People who are phony, days when it's -30 degrees outside, lies, when individuals are condescending, possessiveness, bossy people, secrecy, being nagged, wearing wet socks, being ignored, that I'm not outspoken enough, my procrastinating skills, people who look at me strangely when I tell them I'm vegetarian, the judgemental, racism, sexism, discrimination, ultimatums, preferential treatment, double standards, excuses, people who raise their voices at others, the egotistical

Bands I have met, talked to, and/or took pictures with: Our Lady Peace(twice!), one of my favourite bands.

I have also met Hoobastank, David Usher (2x), and Sum 41, who are all very nice guys, especially David Usher and Doug Robb.

I have also met members of Simple Plan by accident on a few occasions. Apparently we have the same taste in music since we end up at a lot of the same concerts.

I recently met Tim and Jon Foreman of Switchfoot who are the nicest, most humble men I have ever met.

I met all the members of Finger Eleven except the lead singer.

I met a band called Strata and the lead singer took a picture of my friend and I on his camera.

I met Frank Iero from My Chemical Romance, who was really nice and I've met members from Cobra Starship and recently met Mark Hoppus from +44 (and Blink 182).

I've met all 4 members of Rise Against

I've met 2 members of Silverstein and the drummer/lead singer of 2 Cents (Adam).

I recently met Suzie McNeil from Rockstar: INXS and her band, whom I took pictures with.

I met Seether January 2008 and they were very nice. I saw Dale after another show in July.

I've also met Safety Suit.

I've met Sick Puppies four times and they are among the nicest, most down to earth people and kick ass musicians that I've met in a long time... maybe ever.

Now I just need to meet Green Day, the Foo Fighters, Billy Talent, and U2 and I'm set.

The best thing I've done lately: being comfortable in my own skin plus I FINALLY QUIT MY JOB!!!

The worst thing I've done lately:worry about everything

August 11, 2006, I got to eat at Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe!
