Darren Hayes' Roxy Concert

I know that this happened almost a year ago, but as I want to keep this as fresh in my mind as I could. So, this is all about a concert I attended at the Roxy in Hollywood on June 22, 2007.

Here goes.

I got home from the concert around 11:45 last night. It was soooo incredible!!! I was taken by my (now ex)-surrogate older brother, David, who likes Darren as well. He took me out to dinner first, then drove us down to Hollywood, where we stood in line waiting for about an hour before getting in.

The concert started late, around 8:30pm, instead of 8:15, so it wasn't bad, I guess. First was the opener who was only known as Julien, who sang only 3 songs, then retired for the night. He sang a capella with only a guitar.

The second opener was this band from England, called Temposhark. I really liked the way they sounded, and they did a great cover or two, along with some incredible songs of their own. I ended up purchasing their debut CD for $10, and getting it signed by two of the band's members. I also got a hug from the lead singer, Rob, and a hug and kiss from the other member who signed the CD, Luke. It was awesome, and I look forward to more stuff from them.

Finally, there was about a 20 min. break between them and Darren, but it was totally worth it. He played the audience incredibly, and we (the audience) responded very enthusiastically.

Darren sang a couple of old Savage Garden songs (Carry On Dancing, I Don't Know You Anymore, & I Want You), then did one from Spin (Insatiable), did a couple from The Tension and The Spark (I Like the Way, Pop!ular, Unlovable, & Void), and also performed some new stuff, including Step into the Light, Who Would Have Thought?, How to Build a Time Machine, On the Verge of Something Wonderful, A Fear of Falling Under, and a couple more I can't remember. He also covered Prince's Baby I'm a Star.

How incredible... The only thing that could have made it better would have been if we weren't kicked out immediately, and if he'd come out to sign autographs. Oh well. *shrug* I'll take what I can get, until the album comes out at least.

Life and it's Little Ups and Downs

School sucks right now. I'm so far behind that I'll never catch up. Beyond that, I'm looking for a job so that I can afford a car once I get my license, along with a new laptop.

Here in the SCV, that ain't so easy.

Plus, I'm still the klutz queen.

Today, in dance, I pointed my foot too hard in a leap, and twisted my ankle that's been badly fractured twice. I think it's time to start looking for a new favorite way to exercise.

That's all the bad crap. Onto the good stuff. I saw "Deception" last Saturday night with my bff Lauren. We both thought the movie was cute, though kinda lame, and that Ewan McGregor would be a better actor if he'd get rid of his mole on his forehead. Hell, with that thing, he could become a spokesperson for Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away if he got rid of it.

Hugh Jackman, my beloved fantasy husband, was incredible. I actually believed that he was a horrible person as he played Wyatt. However, when I found out something (that I'm NOT gonna mention here) in the film, it disturbed me and made me remember being stalked while back at VHS - my first high school.

Either way, I enjoyed the movie.

Plus, I found a really cute pic of Luke (Busby from Temposhark) from his Facebook, and I nabbed it so that I can gaze adoringly at him.

Life is tough, but good.

Dreaming

I've always wondered what different dreams meant. Are they harmless or harmful? Can they really express your true desires, or are they your subconscious' way of making things understandable in a way that you forget once you wake up?

Take this for example.

I had a dream the other night where I was in a "camp" of sorts with the boy I like. Since we were both over 18, we were given a room to share. First thing that happened was that the boy (Who I shall now refer to as "L") decided to change in front of the mirrored closet that we were sharing.

Of course, I did see his penis reflected in the mirror, and then again as he turned towards me, but even though he grew excited, nothing really happened.

Then, later, after I'd put all my things away, I went to take a shower. As I stripped down, he joined me in the room adjoining the bathroom, and he pulls me flush against his body and kisses me.

Yet, as my arms wrapped around L, and I relaxed into his body, I woke up. I wasn't frustrated, but I was happy, as though I was totally loved.

Now, I've only met L in person once, and I'm sure that he doesn't really remember me except that I've spoken to him and other members in his band over the internet for a long time now.

So, my biggest question really is: Am I using my crush on L to dream about being in love, or is it possibly a "real" feeling in my gut that I may be meant to be with him?

*shrug* Maybe I'm just delusional.
