[[Edit: LOL this ended up being WAYYY longer than I'd intended (surprise surprise) so no one should read this XD I just wanted to rant]]

This weekend, I went to Melbourne to go my first concert ever! It was a "Bullet for my Valentine" concert, with Atreyu and Avenged Sevenfold (the main two I wanted to see. Ehehe) Since Most people I know hate and or are indifferent to the bands I like, I'll keep my account of the actual concert brief so you don't get bored (No promises).... but from the first song (DOOMSDAY - Atreyu) to the last song (WAKING THE DEMON - B4MV) it was pretty epic.

I talk about the bands In order that they performed:

ATREYU
'Look how pretty she is. When she falls down. Now there's no beauty in; Bleeding Mascara'

The Atreyu Singer, Alex Varkatzas, is actually a really funny guy. And he also performed shirtless and I can agree with that. They started off with 'Doomsday', playing other OMGSEXY songs like 'Falling Down', 'Becoming the Bull' and 'Bleeding Mascara'(I hated this song for so long... but after seeing it live, I WORSHIP it...) the only other song they played not from their Lead sails Paper Anchor album was 'Right Side of the Bed' which is, omg, also freeking godly awesome.

Part way through, Alex said "This next song, is dedicated to the word FUCK! FUCKFUCKFUCKFCCKK" and I really didn't know what he was going to sing... then he shouted 'SO FUCKING BLOW THOSE WORDS OUT THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD!!!!' omg. he was sing 'Blow' my 2nd favourite Atreyu song...

The next time I died of happiness inside was when he said "Now this song is dedicated to all the beautiful ladies out there..." (all the bouncing, screaming, emos more like...) anyway, he started singing 'two become One' my FAVOURITE Atreyu song. I couldn't have been any more satfisfied with this band. They fucking ROCK.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD
'Smiling right from ear to ear... almost laughed herself to tears. Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times, I don't believe it! Ripped his heart out right before his eyes! It's over easy! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!'

M Shadows (they have strange stage names) can do cool stuff with hsi head. They started off with 'Critical Acclaim' and I died of happiness. A7X didn't play some of my favourites, but they still played epics like 'Bat Country', 'Beast and the Harlot' (Those two I painted pictures to last year in college ) 'Seize the day' (SEX!!!) 'Afterlife' (My dad likes this song) 'Almost Easy'... and... welll... the last song they played was.... heh.

Shadows was talking about how us little kiddys had a "curfew"(I hate that word) and 'BOOO" went the crowd, and he said "SO! For our last song we're going to play our SHORTEST Song!" "BOOO" went the crowd of emos. Then... finally... he started to play none other than 'A Little Peace of Heaven' ((the whole funny point was, this song is eight minutes long)) which is my FAVOURITE A7X song. OMG. So thus far, Atreyu and Avenged had both played my favourites. Ahh... heartattacks

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE
'I live my life in misery. I'd sacrifice this world to hold you. No breath left inside of me.... shattered glass keeps falling..... say... Goodnight....'

They started with SCREEEEEAAAM AAAIIIMMM FIIIIRRREE!!!!!!! Holy shit that song is great. From being quite indifferent to this band, I have come to love them by binge-listening before the concert (and, um, binge-listening AFTER the concert....) they played some of the ones I love like 'Dissapear' (LOVE) 'Waking the Demon' (LOOOVE) 'Room 409' (LOOOVVEE!) and 'Say Goodnight'(DEATHLOVE) ...but they didn't play 'Forever and Always' (Aww man) or 'deliver us from Evil' or 'The End' Ah well.

They also played 'Hearts Burst Into Fire', 'Eye of the Storm', 'Hand of Blood' and 'Tears don't fall' (I love this song SO MUCH)

Two songs they played that I didn't like were '4 Words to Choke Upon' and 'Suffocating Under Words of sorrow'.. but, after hearing them live... now I... freeking LOVE them both. They are special songs to me now. I LOVE THESE GUYS

AFTERWARDS

I went alone with my older brother Nick (Not to be confused with my older brother that can draw.) After the gig we went back to our room and had energy, so we jumped on our beds (We're bad) and jumped from bed to bed, kicking off so the beds (on wheels) flung around the room (we're bad) and I think he broke my bed. It cracked. So we stopped.

Our fridge was full of small milks. Like, after thirty. We drank THEM ALL and threw the empty packets at each other (We're bad)

Then using his iPhone we played some of the songs we like that they didn't play (Deliver us from evil - B4MV) (Sidewinder - A7X) (The End - B4FV) then just other songs. I jumped on my bed and sung along. Some Muse, some Disturbed, Some Symphony X, some Flaw....

The next day we went to the Queen Victoria market. I felt sick cause it smelt awful and I had inhaled nothing all morning but tap water and 2nd hand smoke. Ugh. It wasn't a very nice environment.

At the airport, I left my black hat (with the black artificial rose from the ceramics room hanging from it) under the table where we were having lunch. We walked a long way to Boarding area TEN. A long walk. Just as the first half of our passengers were being called upon, I noticed this. No, my hat...

My bro said I could run back and get it. But Our plane was being boarded and it was so far. I wondered whether I'd make it, and he just casually said 'I was wasting time'. So I ran.

I pelted.

Past deck NINE and EIGHT

Past SIX and SEVEN

Past FIVE and FOUR and THREE and TWO and ONE

up the stairs.

past SANITY.

into the cafe area.

The hat was gone. I circled the table many times before I found the hat on the bench where its finder had placed it.

I ran back. By this point I was almost dying. I was not built to run so fast, so long. And our plane had, yeah about TWO MINUTES. It was a stupid idea.

As I had back, with hat in hand, I, inbetween pants, was singing '4 Words to Choke Upon' by Bullet. A song I didn't even like before, but as I ran, it was stuck in my head.

Too many times I've seen it

rip a hole into our friendship

This is how it's been

How it always will be

You think you're above me?

But now I'm here to end this

FOUR WORDS TO CHOKE UPON

I mean, the song wasn't even freekin relevant to 'Holy shit I'm going to miss my plane AND my lungs and exploding' !!!!! But eh.

When I got back I was just in time. As I boarded the plane I felt like I was gonna die. I thought I was gonna have an athsma attack... I started coughing. For fifteen solid minutes I huffed and puffed and was worried that I was gonna throw up D:

This time, the lyrics of 'Tears don't fall' whirled around my dizzy head.

Would she hear me if I called her name?

will she hold me if she if she knew my shame?

Your tears don’t fall they crash around me

Her conscience calls

The guilty to come home.

Now those two songs are special... the lyrics always pop into my brain for no reason. remind me of my stupid black hat that always gets stolen by my friends anyway.

Ok that's enough. Ha, I didn't expect anyone to comment on or read this I justed wanted to write it out. I think I won't forget running across the length of an airport to retrieve my my hat and almost missing my flight...

ADIOS!!!
