Her Life is a WIP

Went to bed at 1.30 last night, it's now midnight and I feel fine - I think I'm on the right track again! Hopefully, there won't be no dead-on-my-feet as early at 9.00 PM anymore. Oh, the indignity of going to bed between 9.00 and 10.00 PM - and, ok, before you start kicking me in the head, this is an indignity for me because I'm used to going to bed around 1.00 AM, is all. It might sound stupid but going to bed so early means that I was losing three or four hours every day and we don't have enough hours in a day as it is, so.

Anyway. Guess who was at the Parisian Green Day concert last night? Me! It was a kick-ass show, with pyrotechnics (I startled and squeed every time something "exploded", which happened often) and many interactions between Billie and the audience (that man definitely likes to play with his audience, all right, and a concert crowd is always so easy, great combo!). He had many people going on stage throughout the whole show and though we didn't get a repeat performance of the Awesome Stephanie Moment, he had three fans go up on stage and sing one of his songs - with more or less success depending on who he picked, but I'm still in awe because I wouldn't ever dare raise my hands, even if I knew the song by heart. No way.

Tre Kool (the drummer?) kept throwing his drumsticks behind him whenever he'd finish a song (seriously, how many drumsticks did he have?) and then in the end he gave them away to the mosh pit crowd and I must admit that I'd have loved getting one. Even though I'd have thought of Spencer Smith when looking at it. Also, there was this little medley and Billie sang a bit of Shout and it made me think of Brendon so that was lovely too :-) Not that I think of p!atd other bands when I'm at someone's concert, of course! Or just a little. I might have mentioned Bob Bryar at one point too, so sue me!

Oh, also! After the opening act (Prima Donna) and before Green Day arrived, there was this drunk pink bunny furry that came on stage and, among other things, danced on YMCA. No, seriously. moimoietmoi suggested a tech had lost a bet. greedy_dancer thinks it might have been Pete Wentz. I? Just don't know. I mean, drunk pink bunny furry dancing on stage, man. What do you want me to say? If someone has an answer, I'm all ears! Is the pink bunny associated with Green Day?

HI! Just got home from the Fall Out Boy concert in Paris - where I was with crazybutsound and jedicathy - and hee omg! Who needs drugs when they can go to that kind of concert? No, I'm asking! It's past 2.00 AM and I have to go to work tomorrow/today and I'm so high I'm not tired in the slightest - I do hurt all over because dancing like mad + mosh pit = soreness when the concert is done, though, not that it has anything to do with the not feeling tired - and I'm still vibrating ;-) How do I go to sleep after that? Again, I'm asking!

In no order, a few things: they did songs from old and new albums; which I loved! Classic and newbies, best of two worlds! They sang Beat It, as well. Oh, Patrick said a whole sentence in French! And Pete did the jumping and spinning on himself while playing like a mad thing a couple of times, and he talked about his wife, which was the cutest. And the guy is talkative, he kept talking to us all the time ♥ ♥ Joe looked a bit stoned. Pete and Patrick were adorable together. Patrick absolutely rocked. Pete is an energiser bunny, like, he's already on the right end of the stage when you could swear he was on the left just a nanosecond ago! And Andy was completely high on his drumming. Dude, those guys, they're such great performers!

I might write a report later on but I have to share some of my pics right away - they're just shrunk, ie untouched by photoshop, but I love them to pieces - and actually think they're not that bad for concert pics.

I'm just sharing a few now and I apologise in advance for the lack of Andy and Joe but Patrick was right in front of me, as was Pete, so it was just much easier to take pictures of them. I do have a couple I can share, anyway, so hopefully it'll do.

( A dozen of pictures of FOB being awesome. Concert in Paris. )

And! I also filmed a little so I have some Patrick singing on my HD now. I wanted to share at least two but my upload is being moody and I'll admit I'm a bit too lazy to do anything about it now, so for those interested, I'll try again later :-)
