Presale Madness

Today is the first day of the presale for Morrissey tickets. The presale will end Fri. March 30 at 10 pm. Ever since the first shows Morrissey had this year, I have been trying to obtain tickets; be it from presales, ticketmaster, ebay and who knows what people but no tickets for me :(
For his upcoming shows in Los Angeles I was determined to get tickets! My ordeal began a couple of days ago when I decided to cash my check. I went to the bank and had everything I needed with me, my id and my debit card but guess what? I had no check with me! I began to panic at the thought of someone getting my check and somehow cashing it but after I calmed down I remembered that I had left it at my house. Hahaha how laughable is that?! The next day I woke up at 2pm because of late night partying :p I had to go to work immediately but before I went to work, I stopped at the bank. I was in line digging through my purse making sure I had my check. This time the check was there but no debit card and no id. Hmm...a little repetitive huh? I tried to cash it anyways with other forms of id but no luck. They told me they had sent me a replacement debit card and they could not let me deposit nor withdraw any money. So basically I was screwed. I woke up this morning at 6am with a glimmer of hope that I would be able to cash my check and deposit it in order to be able to see Morrissey. The presale began at 10am, the same time the bank opened. I tried going to another nearby bank to try my luck there but my luck was no good. I was devastated. I came home and watched as the tickets disappeared. 20 minutes into the presale I get a phone call from a dear old friend of mine who said "I got 2 tickets for you. They are for the Morrissey show in the Hollywood Bowl. Do you want them?" I responded with a scream and then with a "Of course I want them!" My friend gave me the seat numbers and I noticed they are not too close. To be honest, I was a tad disappointed but I got tickets at least. Is it wrong to want to be front row in a concert where the man who wrote the songs that saved my life will perform? You be the judge?...Of course it is NOT wrong hahaha...

I blame the directions!!!

Today I had quite an adventure which I'd like to tell you about which took place from 2:00am to 6:00am. I am a person who tends to do things on a whim; I don't really take the time to think about my actions and their subsequent consequences. I had a whim to go to Manhattan Beach, which holds a lot of sentimental value to me. I called my lover and asked if he'd like to go with me and he agreed. I had been there before obviously but I had never taken the freeway there...always drove down Rosecrans ave. I sent the directions I obtained from google and mapquest to my cell phone. Once I was on the 105, approaching the next freeway, I had to choose whether or not I should take the 405 freeway which I had never been on or exit Long Beach and go down Rosecrans. Being adventurous one :p I took the freeway. I took the 405 n. towards Santa Monica (obviously the WRONG way!). I figured I should get off the freeway,because my lover had to be home before 4am, so I did. I had no freakin idea where I was at! I finally stopped at a 7/11 after driving with no direction in mind, bought something to drink and head off to find the 405 south which was no where to be found! I found it and immediately searched for the 105. I was so infuriated that I got lost and did not end up going to the beach, that I went on the 105 west when I needed to go east. I had to start all over again! I was fed up and finally decided to stop at a gas station to ask for directions. Thanks to the gas station employee, I found the 105 east. I sped through traffic trying to get my love back home before 4am. As we entered the 605, he told me that I had 15 minutes til 4. I completely ignored traffic rules (such a bad driver!!!) and drove at about 100 miles per hour, got him home in 10 minutes when it is supposed to take 45! Thank the heavens we got home safe and without a speeding ticket :p I wonder where I will go next and what stupid incidents will occur! Stay tuned!!! lol

Where have all my posts gone?

I have noticed that blogging has become quite hard for me to do because of school and work. It is very saddening. Although I work less than part time is supposed to, I find myself trying to make money with side projects which takes up all my time. I wonder if anyone actually reads what I write. Well if you do read my blog, leave a comment and tell me what you think about what I wrote. I want your opinions!
