Okay. It's the morning after. And I've calmed, but only slightly. Best night. Of my entire life. Nothing will top that. Nothing. Not unless I get to do it all over again. Hehe.

A-fucking-mazing. I was dead centre, very front row. Best view I could ask for. Best spot ever. The guys are truly, truly mind blowingly talented. I knew that. But, now I've seen that. In person. W-o-w. 
It was an acoustic show, and a lot of people were pissed about that, but I was stoked. Honestly, just the guys on stage, jamming, I prefer that too them having a full band. Well, maybe not prefer. But they're equally awesome. I was super happy it was just them.
Tay's solo was Love Me. Good LORD. My knees were NOT working for that whole song, had to hold myself up on the barrier, lol. I'm such a girl. But jesus, sa-wooooooooon. 
It's so powerful to be in the room with all those girls. We all know every single word to every single song and all singing at the top of our lungs and the guys just suck it all up. I could tell they were loving it. MMMBop was awesome, of course, lol, because Tay always lets the crowd sing like half the song, just us, so he was standing up right at the edge of the stage, conducting and what not.... his crotch RIGHT in my face. Hello. Rather nice, I might add. Also, when he's up there, lifting his arms and such, I totally saw his tummy. Boo yeah. Hot.
Alright, but seriously. I was forever a Tay-girl AND a Zac-girl. But after last night, I am a complete Zac-girl. Tay's been moved to second. Sorry honey. It's still a very very close second. But second nonetheless.
Zachary Walker Hanson. Holy mother of fuck. Best guy in the world. I love him to bits. Five times during the show he zeroed in on MY eyes and had the "Zac grin" plastered on his face. I've seen that grin countless time before. But in person, and when he's looking RIGHT at you. OH my god! You can't help but give back the biggest grin you've ever felt your face try and pull off. Best feeling in the world. By far.
Ike's solo was really really good. 
I think my favourite songs they did were Penny & Me, LWEO, Go, and SGR. And then the encore. Fucking Change in my Life? Acapella? Front of the stage, three feet away from me? *dies*
Then Zac, at the end, before the encore, jumped up and was standing on his drum stool, and was still playing, lmao, then when that was done, he jumped off, rather ungracefully and about fell on his ass. Haha. But he regained his balance and continued to be all Zac-y and jumped ontop of the speakers like a little monkey boy, so that was highly ...distracting, so much so that I didn't notice Tay was down off the stage right on the other side of the barrier. Grabbing hands and whatnot. I did, however clue in in time to touch his thumb. Fucking right. Lol, I have a hand... fetish. And that man's hands... whoo-boy, they make beautiful music, QUITE  literally. And I touched the magic-making thumb, hehe.
Okay, after the performing and such, it was M&G time. *SQUEEE*
You all know what it's like after a concert... you're all disgusting feeling and sweaty and grimey. So I am, undoubtably going to look like utter shit in the pic. And I most likely have the worst expression on my face, being painfully UNphotogenic as I am.. and under the extreme *ahem* circumstances... But you know, I dont give a flying fuck. I hugged them, I hugged sweaty Hansons. Totally had Tay's sweat ON me. Hehehehe.
Alright, the things I remember the most vividly from that ..it all blurs after a bit, are me being totally not nervous. At all. The other girls were, definitely, freaking out and hyperventalating and shit. And I was, for some completely stupid reason, talking about being sweaty. Yah, to the guys. Sweat talk. I'm a moron, lol. But, they agreed and grinned at me when I said something like "yeah, Im definitely happy, and sweaty, it's good stuff" lmao, I think they think Im a nut, but oh well. Ha. Tay definitely looked at my boobs more than once. 
Okay, and I got to go through with my master plan of having them each sign one of my CD jackets so I have my Ike copy, Zac copy, and Tay copy. Tay's is surely my favourite. He was signing it and was all "So. What's your name?" Yeah... he totally knows my name, lmao, not that he'll remember it. But I was happy. =)
Here they are: Ike Zac  Tay
Alright. The hugging. Ike and Tay werent much for hugging. Other than the fact that Ive fucking hugged Taylor fucking Hanson, it wasnt that big. Zac on the other hand, holy crap! He gave me the biggest bear hug! I love that kid! Jeebus. He actually threw both arms around me, which the other's did not, and gave me a squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze. Goddammit, he's so great. And then he smiled right at me again. Holy fuck! He's too much.
Then, during the group picture thinger they do with all the M&Gs, we all just kind of crowded awkwardly and Tay didn't think that was good enough, lol. So he rearranged. And crammed himself RIGHT beside me. So close, lmao, his tiny little body was all ....hot, lol, in both ways. Then, he put his arm around my waist, honestly, if I wasnt already dying... fuck. So, naturally, I put my arm right around him, hehe. That boy is skinnnnyy. But seriously. I was standing, hip to hip, rib cage to rib cage, flesh to flesh with sweaty Taylor Hanson. And we had our arms around each other! *squeeeee*

Kay, so by far, best night of my entire life. I will never ever ever forget it. They performed flawlessly and amazingly and captivatingly and then I met them. For craps sake, how many people get to meet their absolute favourite people in the entire world? I know I'm lucky. I do. But that will not keep me from gloating. Hehe.

Kay, my lissssssssttttt

1. We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up, I want to go home

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore - let me go home
Let me go home.
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up - I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk
Broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone? yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, let me go home
(Why don't you let me go)
Hoist up the John B's sail (Hoist up the John B)
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home.

The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home?
This is the worst trip
I've ever been on 


2. So small, yet still so proud
At night before he dreams he looks into the clouds
A high flyer's what I want to be
Seems they won't let me, says I'm too small
I don't feel small at all

Break my dreams, that's what they'll do
Well I'm going to run away and learn to fly like you
I'm going to go so high and swoop so low
You can't bring me down, going to be so proud

Little angel you got to learn to fly
Get up and earn your wings tonight
Little angel just look in my eyes
Get up and earn your wings tonight

Push and shove then climb aboard
This is the shuttle train to the top of the world
When you look around what do you see
These are all high flyers
But none of these high flyers look like me

What is that supposed to mean
What am I supposed to be

I pull my way up through this crowd
To find your body crushed on the ground
It's so obvious, why couldn't you see
That you can't go high flying without a pair of high-flyer wings

Little one's broken lying on the ground
Trying to get up 'till his last breath out
Wings are strune everywhere, there's blood all around
'Cause even angel's die, but that light just fades
It's so sad, but he'd be so proud

Broken angel you've got to learn to fly
Get up and earn your wings tonight
Broken angel just look in my eyes
Get up and earn you wings tonight
Get up and earn your wings, earn your wings tonight 


3. I've been lonely
I've been waiting for you
I'm pretending and that's all I can do
The love I'm sending
Ain't making it through to your heart
You've been hiding, never letting it show
Always trying to keep it under control
You got it down and you're well
On the way to the top
But there's something that you forgot

What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
You might need it someday

I can't tell you what you're feeling inside
I can't sell you what you don't want to buy
Something's missing and you got to
Look back on your life
You know something here just ain't right


4. Memories, sharp as daggers
Pierce into the flesh of today
Suicide of love took away all that matters
And buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart

With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness

Nailed to the cross, together
As solitude begs us to stay
Disappear in the lie forever
And denounce the power of death over our souls and secret words are said to start a war

With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness

Killing loneliness

With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me


5. There must be something
In the way I feel
That she don't want me to feel
The stare she bares cut me
I don't care
You see so what if I bleed

I could never change
Just what I feel
My face will never show
What is not real

A mountain never seems to have
The need to speak
A look that shares so many seek
The sweetest feeling
I got from you
The things I said to you were true

I could never change
Just what I feel
My face will never show
What is not real

I could have lied I'm such a fool
My eyes could never never never

Keep their cool
Showed her and I told her how
She struck me but I'm fucked up now

But now she's gone yes she's gone away
A soulful song
That would not stay
You see she hides 'cause she is scared
But I don't care
I won't be spared 


6. In demon days, it's cold inside
You don't get nobody, people sigh
It's so bad, lasting far, but love yourself
Hiding in a hole in there
All the glasses are too big
Bring it back, got to hold it back
To let you do that yet you don't want me back
Before it fall down, falling down falling down
Falling out to go far from the sun

In these demon days it's so cold inside
So hard for a good soul to survive
You can't even trust the air you breath
Because Mother Earth wants us all to leave
When lies become reality
You numb yourself with drugs and T.V
Lift yourself up it's a brand new day
So turn yourself round
Don't burn yourself, turn yourself
Turn yourself around into the sun !

To the sun, to the sun...
To the sun, to the sun...


7. Hey, you like boots and perfume
Hey, your red pumps and your Cadillac blues
Hey, you want that fine white wine on my dime

What you want from me
'Cause you're on my mind
Don't you care no more
That you're losing yourself
Don't you want some truth
'Cause I'll give you mine

Hey, when I'm making my movie, baby
You keep saying all my lines
Hey, after Sunset Drive cruising, baby
You're just yesterday's prize

Hey, do do do do do
You want trips on a white yacht for two
Hey, you want Beverly Heights
Bright lights, late nights

What you want from me
'Cause your on my mind
Don't you care no more
That you're losing yourself
Don't you want some truth
'Cause I'll give you mine

Hey, when I'm making my movie, baby
You keep saying all my lines
Hey, after Sunset Drive cruising, baby
You're just yesterday's prize
You're just yesterday's prize

Your red pumps and your Cadillac blues
You want trips on a white yacht for two
Your red pumps and your Cadillac blues
You like boots and expensive perfume
Your red pumps and your Cadillac blues
You want trips on a white yacht for two
Your red pumps and your Cadillac blues
You like boots and expensive perfume
Your red pumps and your Cadillac blues
You want trips on a white yacht for two

Hey, when I'm making my movie, baby
You keep saying all my lines
Hey, after Sunset Drive cruising, baby
You're just yesterday's prize


8. Moooooove! Ask the angels who they're calling,
Go ask the angels if they're calling to thee
Ask the angels while they're falling
Who that person could possibly be

And I know you got the feeling,
You know, I feel it crawl across the floor
And I know it got you reelin'
And honey honey the call is for war
And it's wild wild wild wild.

Everybody got the feelin'
You know the feeling and it's stronger each day
Everybody wants to be reelin'
And baby baby I'll show you the way

And I know it's hard sometimes,
You got a piece and hit across the sky
And I know it's hard sometimes
And world war is the battle cry
And it's wild wild wild wild

Across the country through the fields
You know I see it written 'cross the sky
People rising from the highway
And war war is the battle cry
And it's wild wild wild wild.

Armageddon, it's gotten
No savior jailer can take it from me
World rocking, since begining
And rock and roll is what I'm born to be
And it's wild wild wild wild
Wild
Ask the angels if they're startin' to move
Comin' in droves in from L.A.
Ask the angels if they're starting to groove
Lightning as armor and it's today
It's wild wild wild wild
Wild wild wild wild 


9. It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school
The teachers who taught me weren't cool
You're holding me down, turning me round
Filling me up with your rules.

I've got to admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
I have to admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine.

Me used to be a angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word
I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can.
I've got to admit it's getting better
I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can.

I admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
Yes I admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine

10. i love you like a brother
and i love you like a child
and i love you like a lover
and i love you dumb and colorblind
and i love you like a mother
even after all you've done
and i love you like no other
but i know
youre not the one...

and i loved you in bright orange
and in violet and in green
and i loved you in such colors
as your eyes have never ever seen
and i loved the way you acted
but your one trick pony's dead
and i loved you unprotected
but you only love in
red

i know its dark for good
i never listen when i should
you only see in black and white
so go on back to your own kind
and i'll go back to mine

i love you like a brother
and i love you like a child
and i love you like a lover
and i love you dumb and colorblind
and i love you like a mother
even after all she's done
and i love you like no other
but i know youre not the one...


Hehe, if anyone gets any of those other than 2 and 7, I'll be thoroughly impressed. (Or maybe 3 *dies laughing* =D)

So, I've been dreaming about the day of the concert for the past few nights, naturally. Last night's definitely topped them all on the weird scale, lol.
I dreamt we got in a car accident on the way to the show, we didn't get hurt, but we couldn't get there. 
A week later, I'm at home and theres a knock on the door, I'm the only one home, so I curse and get off my ass to answer the door. Guess who? It's Hanson at my door! (LMAO)
They say they heard about my not getting to come to the show, and they feel bad, so they say they're just gonna chill with me for the day! Hahaha. 
Funniest ...and nicest dream ever.

These last two days have been thee most stressful days I've ever experienced in the summertime. H.net will be the death of me, their procrastinating nearly caused me to have an embolism.
A lot of people didn't get to take advantage of the presale at all since, due to their delayedness, it only took place for 6 hours.
But I got MINE!
*dances*
That was a hellish experience in and of it self. After getting the code, you go onto the ticketmaster page, put in the code and then fill out the delivery method and all that jazz.
They confused me severely, but I figured it out eventually, but I was FREAKING because there are time limits. SHEESH. Once you've entered the code they only give you 3 minutes to get all the shit filled out before your tickets are no longer held.
All that and I've only gotten about 4 hours of sleep the last two nights. I'm so totally zonked.

I haven't grasped the fact that I'm going to see them yet. I'm completely ecstatic physically (no pun intended) and Ive been so happy and hyper. But, my brain hasn't clued in to the fact that I AM GOING TO SEE THEM WITH MY OWN EYES. MY OWN FUCKING EYES!
*dies*
It hit me once, for about 5 minutes when I was watching the live performance of Crazy Beautiful that came on the L&E dvd. Oh, was I ever crying, lol. I was smiling so hard, tears streaming down my face. It was great, lol. And then after those 5 minutes, it's gone back to being totally surreal.

My mom thinks she's gonna have to get me some Valium the day we go to TO, just so she won't be tempted to pummel me during the 2 hour car ride. (I'm a tid-bit excited, you see..)

God, I can't believe this! The things this band has done for me, I feel like I've been a fan for years and years. I wish I was. But I'm cool with being a recent convert. Since they're going in a new direction this time, doing it all for themselves and the fans this time, they are taking a new walk, and it's suitable to have new fans come along for the trip. And it's an honour to be one of those fans.

The fact that I am going to be in the same room as their music is unbelievable right now. It won't be a recording Ive hear a thousand times, or a video I've watched a hundred, I'll be in the same vicinity as them. Them, and their instruments. Them, and the music. It means so much to me, my brain can't even wrap around the idea.

This makes my summer. Totally. And I'm pretty positive I've gotten the "OK" on going to another of their concerts in the fall when they come back to Canada on the tour, after the States. If they go to Ottawa, I'm for sure going again. For SURE. 

I'm so far above cloud nine right now, I'm on cloud ...87. And on concert day.. fuck, I'll be in the mesosphere.

Woo hoo this is my official for-Hanson-fangirling-purposes-only lj account.
Hoorah!
