Paramore - 11th November 2010
Just to show you what I look like at concerts
Well, this year has been rather eventful. Some events better than others, some memories worth keeping while others aren't. But in all, I can't really say whether 2009 has been a success or not. It's definately had it's up, but also had it's downs. I've loved and i've laughed. I've cried and i've lost, but I wouldn't change a thing. All the memories i've made this year have been nothing like the last, and shall certainly differ from the next. I couldn't possibly sit here and tell you everything that's happened to me and in my life this year, for this is just a tribute.
The earliest thing I can remember from this year was the evening of 19th February. My friend invited me to go and see "A Day To Remember" in concert, in a club in town called Corporation. It was very last minute, but me and my friend, Jade thought it'd be a laugh. We were running late, and almost decided that we couldn't be bothered. I'm sure glad we did!
We eventually got to Corporation and the queue was huge! After a while of standing out in the cold, we got inside the stuffy, packed hall.
When the bands started coming on, everybody went crazy! You see, it was a "mosh" concert. For those of you who aren't cool enough to know what that is, it's where people in the audience clear a huge circle, (generally at the front of the crowd) and, anybody inside that circle basically "mosh". This is a form of dancing, if you can even call it that! (I just see people beating eachother up! but for those of you who are currently all worried that I was in that circle, don't worry, i'm alive today aren't I? :P) but yes, I went into the circle, well, rather I was pushed in, but it was my first "mosh" concert i'd been to, so I didn't know what to do!
I just remember getting so hot I swear I could have almost passed out, so I had to push my way out of the crowd and go out the back door for a while. There, I met a girl called Elysia. We were talking for a little while, but soon went our seperate ways into the crowd again, after i'd had time to cool down. It wasn't long before I found myself pushed up against her again. The convosation basically consisted of: "oh, it's you again! HELLOOOOO!" Elysia could see I was getting all hot and bothered again, because I can be rather claustraphobic at times. She then took my hand, and led me out of the crowd, across the hall. That hall was rather small, but it took us FOREVER to get to the bar at the other end. There, Elysia go me a pint of freezing, icey water. After I had cooled off again, we continued our convosation. We remained together for the rest of the evening, seeing as both of our groups of friends had ditched us to go "boy hunting".
After the concert had finished, Elysia walked with me and Jade to Peace Gardens, in Sheffield centre. There, Elysia watched in fits of laughter as I emptied the contents of my pockets into Elysia arms, then ran through the middle of the fountains. I couldn't feel the cold as I ran through the jets of February-temperature water. It was only the split moment I ran out the other side that I felt it. Actually, I didn't feel it, by this time I was numb, but it was better than how hot I was before, I tell you! Elysia, Jade and I then walked off to the trams. Bless poor Elysia, who was then left on her own to get a train back to Barnsley on her own, after Jade and I got on the tram back to halfway, where her mum then picked us up. I was still soaking wet, yet warm by this point. It was funny, the way people were staring at us. After we go back to Jade's house, it was basically just eat and sleep for us two. We were Shattered!
Oh yes, as some of you might be wondering, me and Elysia exchanged numbers, and we're still friend's to this day! I have to remind her it's almost been a year since we met! :)
That was a great way to start 2009, and one of the best memories I have of this year. But it's weird, thinking about it, there were no other major events that I think you'd be mildly interested in. Isn't that odd? I started this blog thinking: "oh, I've got a great idea for this blog! I can tell everybody all the wonderful memories and friends i've made this year!" but when I try and write it all down, my mind goes all blank. Well, there are a few other events that happened this year, but i have other blogs dedicated to that, so I don't need to explain it anymore. Oh well. I promise you all i'll update this everytime I think of something. :) I hope you enjoyed the one memory that kicked off 2009 for me!
Oh, I really do hope 2010 turns out to be a good year for me and everybody around me.
