3:09pm: senior.now.5.30.03
School is over. I didnt cry but I know Im going to keep in touch with everyone hopefully. Im a senior, I cant believe it.The picnic went okay,scott was there:).I told mike(guy number 2) that i liked him in a letter i gave to him last night after graduation and he pulled me aside to talk to me about it and he said the following: im very flattered but I just want to keep it as friends,and Im going to keep in touch with you and ill be really heated if we dont talk and even more heated if you dont come to this school next year,so you know i will keep in touch with you then I told him that I didnt expect anything from him reading this letter, I just wanted to let him know" then that was it.I gave him my number and everything so i will hear from him this summer. This makes it easier now that the triangle is all figured out,bc it gives me a little freedom to get know scott a little better now that i know mike and I are just friends.I love mike as a friend now more then i did for the entire school year,the boy is just great.I will really miss my class,but most of us are getting together for my birthday,and i believe sunday for a movie..I dont know tho.It was really sunny today so I got yet,a little sun on my face..of course my nasty nose more then anything.boo.haha.I kept teasing a girl at school today bc yesterday she was singing the national anthem and she didnt know the words..and i said YOU DONT KNOW THE NATIONAL ANTHEM! and just how I said it,made scott's dad laugh uncontrolablely,it was really great but of course it's one of those (you just have to be there)sort of things. I got to see tyre today before he left for Boston I will miss him a lot over the summer, I told him i will be waiting for my postcard and he laughed and told me I love you,he's one of my really good friends.Over all, It was a great day. Tonight Im going to a memorial service for a kid that used to go to my church he was 17 and stabbed to death last weekend:(, Tomorrow I have a graduation party to go to,and then work 6-9:45 tonight I have to type up my availability letter for the managers at work..Going to go in to work happy instead of miserable,and pray for a new job:). I'm going to get going.
talk to you all later:0)

3:12pm: Bruce Springsteen and the E street band 3-11-03
*-Here's my review of the Springsteen Show-*
March 11th came it was a normal tuesday morning woke up and went to school,got through classes came home and took a nap for a little while.Woke up,around 4:30ish and got my step dad up and ready we discussed about what we wanted for dinner on the way to the arena,then we left! I got my bruce "greatest hits" cd(thanks to steph who burned it for me)listened to it on the way to mcdonalds:) got my food ate,we finished and were off to see bruce and the band:) We got to the arena around early but the arena people wouldnt open the gates so we stood for a while.Finally we got in and I got through the ticket people and bought a blue tshirt that says "Bruce Springsteen and the E street band" with 3 pictures of bruce and under the pictures it says the rising:0),I had floor seats general admission floor 2 seat 80(even though there wasnt a single seat on the floor!).My step dad and I found a nice spot with short people so i could see-die hard bruce chicks they were,not big drinkers either which was good:) I heard the people next to me talk about how much bruce helped them through things while they were growing up,and being surrounded by "older people" I think some people thought I was older then I am.The Concert started at 8:30, Bruce opened with "no surrender" there was so much adrenaline running through me once bruce spoke "good evening Rochester!" I jumped,yelled,held my hands up,fists in the air..I just went crazy.I was about 20 feet away from bruce!!.I didn't know a lot of the songs he sang but the one that stood out the most was "Bobby Jean" -which i never heard before until the show.I belted out and screamed the lyrics from "The Rising" Album.Bruce also sang "Badlands" which was awesome!!,"Mary's Place was really good too which he played a lot live,"Into the fire,"Waitin' on a sunny day",and "Lonesome Day were all amazing.Unfortually, Patti was sick so she wasnt at the show and bruce really missed "his baby",he sang "empty sky" for patti.Something that sticks out in my mind from the show is when he gave this little boy who was about 4-5 yrs old a guitar pic and sang to him during "The Rising" that was precious."World's apart" was interupted for me,by this drunk guy who just decided he wanted to come to my and the nice cool people's section bothered me a bit."Nothing Man" and "Your Missing" were both wonderful and beautifully done.Towards the end of the concert people started pushing so I couldn't see to well=(.Bruce and the ESB played 2 sets of encores,and when he played "Born to Run I was absolutely wallin' out and then the moment was slightly ruined when these two blond tall drunk girls with long hair which was thrown in my face decided they wanted to push me over and act all stupid,but I made the best of the moment and jumped and pounded my fists in the air.Shortly after bruce said "I wrote this in the early 80's I might have to write it again soon" and the band went into a slower version of "Born in the U.S.A.".Also,I learned that bruce wrote "Blinded by the light" which was a wonderful surprise for "the old fans".Bruce and the band played until 11:00 it was wonderful,the last song was "Dancing in the dark" which was totally cool:).I had a GREAT time and It was definately worth the money.Probably one of the great 3 hours Ive ever experienced:),and will be a night I'll always remember.I got home at 11:30 and was just so tired,my ears are still ringing slightly.I want to see bruce and the e street band again this summer:).
