ok. so read my last entry first. cuz i said so.

SOoooo....

last night, we went to see matt sharp. (for those of you who don't know, he's from weezer and the rentals.)

it was awesome!!!! there was just about NO ONE there, which sucked, but at least it was very comfortable. he invited everyone to sit on the floor and move closer, and no one moved but us! poor guy was feeling unloved. he did a wonderful job. the songs were mostly soft and perty. he's so cute. he's like a little boy. we were ready to jump on stage at any given moment and hug him. hehe.

so after the show, they went out for about 5 minutes and then he was coming back in to sign autographs and stuff. so we're just standing there, and he comes back in and walks right up to us! so we said hi and told him he did a great job, etc, etc. we had him sign our tickets. my friend brought a sharpie, so he used that. and then he used it to sign everyone else's stuff. heh. he stole our pen. he told us how it sucked that no one came closer. we made sure to point out that we did and we told him "we had to show our love!" so then we hung around the merch table and he said no one is selling shirts, so we should just let him know if we want one. so we stood there next to him the whole time as we let everyone else meet him.

oh my god, this one girl, ew. she was kind of a bigger girl, and she was just talking and talking to him, all leaning over the table. and she was getting a shirt, and she goes, "i want something that will accentuate my boobs, but.." blah blah blah... and then she says (oh yeah, the shirts just have a big picture of him on the front), she says, "but i don't want your head to get squished." i was like, oh. my. god. so he just kept talking, like he didn't hear her say that at all. i was like, ew, stop throwing yourself at him. people are such idiots. so anyways, oh hahhah... so they were playing music in the club, and tupac "i ain't mad at ya" came on. so he goes "aw, i LOVE this song!" and we started cracking up. so he kept singing along to it. and then there's this part where there's singing and the guy sings like up and down ya know, like they do in r&b songs?, so matt sharp looks at me as he's mimicking the guy, and it was so hilarious. i just started cracking up. it was awesome. ha, so then later, "7 nation army" by the white stripes came on, and ya know how i love it, so i started dancing all silly to it. and matt sharp kept looking at me haha. it was great. i mean, you can't NOT dance to that song! so, finally it was just us left, and we had him sign our shirts. so then ya know, more chit-chatting and he asked us, "are you guys hanging around more after this?" and like an idiot, my friend says, "no. we're going home." ! hahaha! she just said it out of reflex. she wasn't thinking. so we were saying goodbye. and it was such an opportunity for a hug, so i said, "can i get a hug?" and we hugged. and then he hugged my friend. we were like AHHH! so, we said he was great again, and said thank you, and goodbye.

then we promptly freaked out. hahahah. it was so much fun! we freakin' hugged matt sharp! and um yeah, he was totally asking us to hang out! i brought this to her attention and she's like "oh my god! i'm so stupid! i want to go back!" hahah... but it was cool.

see, he liked us, cuz we weren't like all trying to throw ourselves at him. and we weren't trying to tell him our life stories. we let him know we were total fans and we were there for him and we acted like he was a normal person. yup, he loved us. hehehe.

and he still has our pen.

hehe.

so yeah. it was rather thrilling.

so we listened to pinkerton on the way home. so that we could hear all his little cute sounds, like on el scorcho. yay. 'tis why i love him so in the first place.

i said to my friend. "do you realize that you just met a guy from your FAVORITE BAND?!"

and she was like "oh my god! i did!" hahaha. it was like, it really wasn't sinking in.

*sigh*

what a wonderful night.

man i've had a great year. i met howie day, i touched doug, i met and hugged matt sharp. ah. great. woo.
