(3:11 pm - 03.11.2002 - happy 311 day! - i feel  ) happy 311 day!!!!!!woo hoo! ya know i had to post this entry at 3:11 pm, even though right now it's 12:10. haha, i'm a cheater! it is kind of sad though. i�m sad cause i�m not in new orleans tonite. damnit. i�m going thru live 311 withdrawal. it�s bad too. damn. i wish anyone that gets to see 311 tonite or any nite for that matter a great time! tell them i said �what�s up!� lol. it�s cool that p-nut remembers me everytime. awesomeness. he might not next time though, cause it�s been soooo long. can�t you feel my pain? anyways. ticketmaster needs to give me back the 4 hours of my life i wasted with them. so the incubus tickets went on sale on saturday. i tried to get some good seats in the online pre-sale but that was impossible. so i waited until saturday, the official day that they went on sale. and damn, was it awful. first off, the whole system is automated. i hate that. i just wanted to talk to someone before i ordered anything. and i tried that. i pressed all the correct buttons to talk to a sales representative, but i had to confirm the tickets that i had in my filthy little paws first. (at least that�s what the little automated voice told me would be best to do � what do i know, i listened to it). anyways. i finally got to talk to a human after an excruciating hour or so. and what do they do, transfer me to someone else. and what does that person do? n-o-t-h-i-n-g-! they told me there was nothing they could do and i was stuck with the tickets i just ordered. i was furious! so needless to say, i called back, and waited another pleasant hour. i finally got to talk to someone new. she tried to find exactly what i wanted. something fairly close to the front, but 2 aisle seats. was that so hard? apparently it was. after searching her database time after time, she decided that there weren�t any open seats, and it would be best to call back on monday (today) to see if there opened up anything new. at this time, i thought, �well, ok. that usually happens. but at least i do have a pair of fairly decent tickets.� so i waited, until today. again, i called and got to listen to the most enjoyable (major sarcasm) music, while waiting for some imbecile to transfer me from person to person. well the first person i spoke to confirmed that my previous order had be cancelled (what?!?!!!). omg. i was speechless. i never told that woman to cancel my order. he said that it was requested by me too. well, whatever! so i told him that i wanted 2 aisle seats, and he transferred me to the sales department. there, i got to speak to the last person i will ever speak to at ticketmaster. (i hope). so as of now, i do have fairly decent aisle seats. now, if later on, i get 2 different pairs of tickets in the mail, ohhhh. all hell will break loose. so after that pleasant morning, i then called my mother. after going off on her earlier in the week, she was surprised to hear from me. i just wanted to go out. lol. i�m a user. so we planned to go out and return the clothes she had gotten me for christmas. we spent a good chunk of time in the store. for $100 worth of clothes, i ended up paying only $1.26. go me! due to the returns, a gift certificate, and a 10% off coupon, i was set! i even got a new wallet, earrings, and an ankle bracelet. (well, it will be an ankle bracelet after i cut it up. lol). then i decided i wanted a new hoodie. so we drove around looking the place that would have the best ones. but it had moved, and we just couldn�t find it. so we went to k-mart. of course, they didn�t have any. they�re out of season now. so i just ended up getting some stuff for mark. what a punk! lol. just kidding. we were just going to get a hot dog there, but i wanted to go to long john silver�s. so we went there. i hadn�t eaten there in forever. probably 2 years or so. mom had a date that nite, so she had to be home by 5. i had gotten her a few things. 1. a book titled �getting rid of bradley� (bradley is my step-fathers name) so it fit perfectly. the story was a little similar too. weird stuff. i had also gotten her a plant that i new she wanted, a get well balloon for her surgery, some hershey�s chocolate eggs, that she couldn�t find anywhere and this funny easter card. but what i wrote in it was even funnier. i guess you�d just have to know us to understand. well, maybe not, cause even then it�s still weird. anywayyyyys. saturday nite we got hit with some huge storm. it was sooo windy! omg. the power went out twice. i didn�t notice though, cause i was sleeping. hehe. imagine that! i woke up just in time for snl. and then mark called. we had a nice long talk. man. it was so warm just a few days ago, now it�s back down to the frigid temperatures. that sucks. moving on.... last nite at work was awful. i don�t know what�s been going on with all these call-offs, but it can�t happen anymore. not when there�s only 7 or 6 of us scheduled to come in in the first place. ya know? last nite there were five � count �em 5!!! call offs. that left us with 1. ed 2. me 3. marilyn 4. joe. yeah. let�s do the math here. 4 people and 8 aisles to be done. that just doesn�t add up. but somehow it got done. we single blocked (i love that!) and everything was done! yay. i don�t know what was wrong with me tonite, but i worked sooo slow! i'm using the word soooo too much in this entry. ugh. anyways. marilyn made a key lime pie, but we forgot to eat it. joe�s bringing me a lunch tonite. yay. i get to see patrick tonite. that should be fun. i know he�ll be pissed cause his aisle is a wreck! haha. serves him right. he�s always bossing everyone around. it�s just not fair. ed was acting especially cute tonite. i�m definitely calling off on friday nite. oh yeah. especially since we got so screwed over tonite. fuck �em. i have to meet with my mom�s icm (whatever that is � some sort of counselor) on friday. apparently we�ve got to do something about me. now, the last i checked, my mom was the one that had to be committed to western psych. who knows what�s gonna happen. i hate talking about crap like that. so i�m shutting up about it now. i got my valentine�s day card from mark today. it was cute. almost a month late, but yeah. i guess it�s ok. i found an old letter from aric last nite. he had written me a little poem in it. i should burn those. it only tortures me everytime i read them. or smell his damn cologne. ah, but it smells soooo good! i love cologne. grarrrrr! back to the little incubus ticket issue. ok. i�m a big incubus fan. a big music fan in general mind you. well, i was talking to ed (he knows all about my music-obsession) and he mentioned that he knew i�d need june 13th off. his daughter wanted to go as well. by the way he was talking about it, it didn�t seem like he was going to let her go at first. well last nite, he asked if i had gotten my tickets. i had told him my little ordeal, and then he says. that�s too bad. my wife ordered tickets online, and they�re pretty good seats. nice and close to the stage. arg!!! ok. i want ed�s daughter to name one song off of the s.c.i.e.n.c.e album. then she might be worth of better seats than me. i want her to name the album that came out before s.c.i.e.n.c.e! yeah. those tickets would soooo be mine. it would be like me getting front row seats to a n�sync concert or something. (major confession here) sure. i might like one or two of n�syncs songs, but i�m no fan. your seats should be based on how much you know, and exactly how much you like the band. and if ya know all the lyrics, etc. yeah! it�s so aggravating! the way you get tickets should be completely changed. ok. but, it�s 311 day, so i can�t be upset! everyone should be happy on 311 day. wait, everyone should be happy everyyyyyy day! whoa, ok that�s pushing it. well anyways, i�m off. i�m tired, somewhat crabby and cold. later all. have an excellent 311 day. damnit. listen to 311. do it. now! i love you! hehe. and mat you know i didn't forget you. = D oh, and if ya didn't hear.... something major happened, and i know a lot of people are gonna be upset about it: mark allan hoppus, frontman and bassist of popular punk-rock band blink-182 and his body guard, derek summings were fatally shot at the artist's florida mansion earlier this afternoon, county coroner eric peris told cnn. details were not immediately known at press time but two men were taken into custody almost immediately after the tragedy. they have not yet been charged. that's gonna highly upset some of my friends. especially about the pop disaster tour this spring. they even planned to go out earlier than ozzfest, cause they didn't want to interfere with the territory. i wasn't a blink fan, but it does suck. sunshines-are you outside-i am a simpleton by choice-not speaking to hear my voice-sunshines-why are you sleeping-gotta get outside ~*~liz << - >> if you really loved me, you'd buy me presents |
