Randomly so.

I thought I'd make up for my lack of posts with a quick outfit/school/music/life update.
Here are a few of the outfits I've worn over the past week or so.
Boots and Tights, I know, very shocking :p
We had a tiny "cold" front (66 degrees) and I decided to break out my Young & Reckless baseball tee that I love.
Now some stuff that has happened/ will be happening!
Like I said in my last post, I got my new camera!  I've been taking pictures of everything in my house...I may be addicted.... but happily so!  Plus now that I have it, I can start doing shoots and working towards my goals.
On Thursday, I went to see The Possession with Hailey.  That whole movie was cray as heck, but in a good way!  I used this outing as an excuse to try doing my make-up a little differently than I usually do.  Instead of my usual dark black eye shadow and eye liner, I tried just doing a simple line on my top lids and add mascara.  I actually liked it a lot more that I thought I would.  Here's how it turned out:
Dork face

As far as school goes, I will be spending the next week writing and learning my speech for speech class about the history of Halloween.  I'm actually kind of excited to give this one!
And finally, this Thursday, I'm going to see Of Mice & Men and August Burns Red with the usual suspects.
Hope everyone had a good week and has wonderful weekend!

Of Mice & Men I See Stars review

I've been promising this for quite some time now so its about time I actually did it!
Almost 2 weeks ago (good greif its been that long? Finals are throwing me way off) Me, Hailey, her boyfriend and her brother all went to see For the Fallen Dreams, iwrestledabearonce, I See Stars, and Of Mice and Men.
Please Ignore the scary things the flash did to my hair and face.
We listened to For the Fallen Dreams.  They are a great band but they were having so technical problems so their set wasn't the best.  However I refuse to call them bad because they are talented and were very friendly when we met them at their signing.
I don't have any pics for them so here's one from google:
Next up was ISeeStars which we actually went up to the stage for.  I've seen them live before and they were just as good as before.  & it was sad/funny/painful when the lead singer was swinging his mic about and nailed their screamer in the head.
Here's a few shots from their set:


Next was iwrestledabearonce for which Hailey and I hung back with everyones stuff while the boys went up to the stage.  If you've never listened to them, do it.  Its quite an experience.  Its very random, spastic, and frantic, but they are one of the most energetic and enthusiastic group of individuals I have ever seen. At one point, one of the guys started saying "The floor is f*cking lava! Now jump! jump! jump!" Again, don't have any pics for them so heres one from google:
Finally, it was time for Of Mice & Men.  Now I'm not gonna lie, I've heard some pretty nasty things about their lead, Austin.  I thought he might be an jerk but I was very very wrong.  He was crazy and energeticfrom the beginning of the show till the very end.  He would reach out, grab peoples cameras, film himself, the crowd, and the rest of the band, then carefully handed it back to them.  He crowd surfed and attempted to crowd walk and grab the rafters but it didn't quite work.  The show was absolutely amazing (although the wall of death, or as we coined it, extreme red rover may have intimidated me a bit).  The lights were insane and everything went off well.  I have a whole new respect for the band.
Heres the pics:






Attempted Crowd Walk
Crowd Walk Fail
Guitar
Overall It was a great night.  They took the concert from okay to absolutely amazing.
Next time comes Breaking Dawn review and pics from the line.
p.s. Finals are making things cray cray so bare with me!
Peace, Love, Music <3
