About Last Night.

2009-08-16T10:33:00.000-07:00

Title Credit- The Alumni Club; About Last Night. It just seemed fitting.

Anyways; Last night I went to see three amazing bands at the Premier in Chesterfield Township. (Oh, and some other band that Jamison wanted us to go listen to because they were rad:) )

So the first band: THE ALUMNI CLUB :)
I was so pumped to go see them; they were pretty tight. they did amazing :) Alex was phenomenal (; New found love for these guys. :) Stood in front of Alex, :)

Okay; so the main reason we went: Lights Out!
We went to go see smokin' hot Mike; Tami and Chelsea were not disappointed. Krystal told me to ask Mike to take his shirt off so he said if we all danced and what not he would, ha! So, we all danced and FINALLY he took his shirt off. Then Mike somehow got Douggie Fresh to take his shirt off. Chris was already playing shirtless so Ryan was the only one wearing a shirt until I said, hey now you're the only one and He took it off :) Lmao, only me and my friends could get a bunch of boys to do that.
They did fantastic.

The really RAD band Jamisontold us to listen to: CrackJaw, I think?
They weren't bad, They just DID NOT fit in. They were like Hardcore screamo while everything else was not.... HA, but I'm glad Jamison told me I had to go watch. Ha, me and Krystal had so much fun with this band. "I dare you to walk up to Jamison and punch him then run away"
"Well kick him and run."
"how about I just dance up on him haha."
"just kidding."

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Swing the Coast. (formerly known as Searching Streetlights)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE GUYS :)
Josh, Corey and Travy were hilarious. I never met myles though, haha. He was just walking around with his backpack. They did a cover of Waking Up in Vegas, and EVERYONE WAS SINGING! Even Alex, who hung out with us/ behind us for the whole STC set. Ha, when they started playing Alex was like OH NO! haha.

QUICK SPEEDY RECAP OF SET CHANGE FUN :)

I luckily got to spend the whole night with the bands :)
Mostly the boys from The Alumni Club!
Well, Terry, Jamison and Alex.! mostly.
Greg wouldn't let me buy hima water even though he sent me to get it, haha.
And, Jamison told me I could touch his Anti-Brow hard because it doesn't hurt.
Mike remebered talking to me at Warped Tour w. Ben ha :)
Terry prank called a bunch of business and a ...girl... HA!
Alex's "HITTING ON YOU STANCE"/MODEL - Thanks, Jamison for letting us know what was going on w. that :)
Terry signing my poster "HUGE DOUCHE" lmfao.
Josh's plans for us to camp in Corey's back yard.
Mike C. ha. Pictures. Hand placement.. oh boy.
Jamison- "Well, aren't you just adorablee."
Alex's stick figure because he wasn't on the poster :)
Terry- "You got spunk, kid."

AND MAYBE ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF THE WHOLEEEEE NIGHTT :)
Alex and I bonded over bands.
He freaking interveiwed BREATHE CAROLINA!!
He's defff getting thier new CD on tuesdday; we talked about it :)
I was the most amazing part.
And he thinks ASD is sick!
He is goshhhhhh...

After the show:
First: We were attacked by bugs trying to get in the car.
Second: Took a wrong turn and got lost in the middle of detroit.
Third; HIT A HUGE POTHOLE AND TWO tires popped.
Four: Pull into a gas station.
Five: Freak because they're sooo busy at midnight.
Six: Find out there's about to be a street race, YAY! :(
Seven: Wait for Tami's parents, Tow truck, and Auto Rescue.
eight: auto rescue comes and fixes.. ONE ... of the tires.
nine: TAMI'S MOM GETS THERE!
ten: wait like two hours for the tow truck.
eleven: finally go home!
at 4:00 in the morning.

All in all; it was a GREAT NIGHT :)
I would redo it over and over again in half a heartbeat; :)

TUESDAY:

Heregoesnothin

2009-08-14T17:05:00.000-07:00

Okay, so today is not going as planned. My mom brought up a good point and I've been thinking about it for awhile. I just don't know what to do. I've been thinking the same thing that she has.
I thought I could trust people unconditionally but now I realized that I'm not as trusting as I would have liked to believe. I hate being so naive. This is getting ridiculous. I'm tired of being taken advantage of because I always think people are sincere. Maybe this is my fault like everything else. I'd rather it be my fault, honestly, than to find out people aren't who they say they are because than I won't feel so stupid for believing what people tell me.

I don't think I could make it in this world alone because I believe everything everyone always says. I don't even think thats correct grammar. Whatever.

I don't want to start rebuilding the walls I've taken down but I have a feeling I'm going to try to handle everything on my own again, Maybe I'll finally realize the ONLY person you can ever trust is yourself. I will not rely on anyone anymore.

Another thing I realized is that I'm going to NEW YORK and NO ONE is stopping me. Everything about small city life depresses me. Everyone has their drama here and I'm sure there is plenty of drama in New York but it's such a big city I can get away from it. The idea sounds so much better every day. I know that I'm taking such a big risk moving there but I have to prove I can do it to myself. I'm not going to give up on my dreams; no matter how ridiculous and out of reach they seem. Sometimes I may give up hope but I know that I'll be put on the right track sooner or later.

"Meet me at the skyline, I'll wait for you."

Warped Tour '09

2009-08-02T15:25:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I'll start with thing's I've learned at Warped Tour '09.
- SKA SUCKS!
It's just not good.
-DAVID SCHMITT IS MORE AMAZING THAN EVER.
Nothing but the truth.

Anyways;

Band 1: Hit The Lights:
They were really good. I've been a fan for a while and I was glad I got to see half of their show :)

Band 2: A Skylit Drive:
Gabby was eating so we missed the first few songs but we made it there before the set was over (thank goodness). It was good seeing them again. After the show I finally got to meet Jag <3.
He came out after he performed riding a scooter and said "Hey guys!" to me and my group because I said hi to him. I love his new hair; its very becoming and it makes him more of a hunk in my eyes ( ;
I'm glad they did the song's they did.

Band 3: The Mack Daddy of them all: BREATHE CAROLINA!
Now, these boy's have been my favorite band since I first heard 'Diamonds.' They (and A Skylit Drive) were my main reason for going to Warped Tour. David and kyle got up on stage and I was hypnotized from the moment the music started. Everyone was singing and dancing. It was just a great crowd. Kyle went crowd surfing and stood up, it was beyond wicked. Afterwards I rushed to the fence and GOT DAVID TO COME OVER AND TALK TO ME!!!!!! Last time I saw them a year ago I only got to meet Kyle but I wanted to meet David so desperately. He high fived me though the fence and it was amazing. I almost started crying. As I was talking to David Kyle came over and was wigging out about how he stood up. Then David said that he had to put his stuff away but he'd be out later and if I could find him we could hangout. Unfortunately I couldn't find him. they are still by far my favorite people.

Check out 'Hello Fascination' The second full length album from the boys of BC on August 18, 2009 (;

http://www.myspace.com/breathecarolina

If you stop by their page; leave them some love and tell them Chelsie sent you :)

Band 4: The Maine:
Now here's a band I was pumped to see. They did amazing. The crowd surfers were crazy. The most amazing part was when John (the lead singer) got a Gatorade bottle thrown at him but just knocked it away and kept singing. He crowd surfed, as well. Their cover of Def Leppard's 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' was epic.

Band 5: All time Low:
Wow, Okay.. so ATL was CROWDED!! People were pushed on top of each other, and we were all packed in like sardines. I couldn't see a thing until I stood on the tips of my toes and tilted my head then I caught a glimpse of Alex Gaskarth. Once They started playing It got worse! We almost died. crowd surfer after crowd surfer came. As soon as one was up then next was up. We had to get out of there. We ran to the back of the crowd where I realized from where I was now standing I had a CLEAR VIEW of Jack and Alex the whole time. They did a great job; they're great live and we're very entertaining. They kept cracking very funny (and very inappropriate (; ) jokes. Alex is mad crazy and decided to tell everyone that instead of a mosh pit, he wanted everyone to run circles around the sound booth tent as fast as they could. That was entertaining. I was put in some very awkward situations there...
"Hi, I'm Mike" ... " I think you're supposed to take people out to dinner before that happens."
Anyone who was there with me will get that (;

Band 5: nevershoutnever:
I've listened to Christofer Drew for a while now. His songs were the soundtrack to my Summer 2008. I always wanted to see him live. Chris first came on stage and was Happy and light-hearted. He was like " Hi, I'm Chris. I hope we can be friends." I was mildly shocked because I never heard his speaking voice before, just his singing voice, and I would have never expected him to sound like that. He was wonderful and the vibe when he was playing was by far the best. Everyone watching was dancing and singing along and everyone in the crowd had a huge smile plastered to their faces. He was super happy and made everyone around him happy. He might be the most adorable man in this universe. I will never forget that show.

Band 6: 3oh!3:
Alright, this is sort of a bummer... I like 3oh!3 but I'm not their biggest fan at all. They, unfortunately aren't that amazing live, but they put on a great show so that sort of makes up for it.

Altogether Warped Tour '09 was a success! I saw all but three of the bands I wanted to but I was happy with the choices I made. I got the chance to see a lot of friends I haven't seen in awhile.
I'm super excited for Warped Tour '10!

Here We Go Again.

2009-07-13T21:53:00.000-07:00

Long time , no talk.
Well here we go again.

Gosh, so much has been happening:
New Boyfriend <3, New 'Fiance', New 'Best Friend', moving....
and many more things.

1. New boyfriend.
Christian 7/8/09 :D
I can finally cross off a new years resolution. "Find a good boy I actually get along with".
That's him.
It's so surreal. I feel like when I wake up in the morning things are going to change and we're not going to be together; like it was all just a dream.
I'm lucky :D

2. 'Fiance'
CJ Baran 7/7/09 :D
"Yes! We'll run away together and elope."
That'd be odd if that was for real.
He'd really have me saying 'Midnight Romeo'.
Lol.

3. 'Best Friend'
Steve Scarola 7/7/09 :D
I saved him from the spider crawling on his back and we both enjoy the same phone :)

4. Moving:
It's almost moving day. Thursday.
This is going to be so weird.
I've lived in this house for 11+ years and now I have to adjust to a new house.
At least I'll only be at the new residence for about a year or so then its off to NYC <3
My room is empty and put in boxes.
I can't wait to unpack.

I am still on my first book for AP English.
I need to get going.
Also, I need to start rehearsing.
DANG! So much to do.

Follow me on TWITTER :D

Supp, Brahhh? :)

2009-07-01T05:21:00.000-07:00

So, I've been at my aunt's for one night. :)

I've realized how much incredibly bad things happen to her. She's a brilliantly nice lady, too.

I need to help her out as much as I can, even though I have to force her to let me do things for her.

I can't sleep; I forgot Little Otter at home. Three nights without him are going to be awful. I'm going to be so tired when I get home. I know you are probably thinking. WTF? Grow up! but I've had him so long and I don't care.

The man that lives upstairs, Brandon?, kind of scares me. I don't know if its because I don't know him or if its because I know he's here. It's just weird. It's making me a tad uncomfortable.

Ahhhh, hopefully he leaves soon.

I'm so tired of everyone fighting, like high school sucks.

Senior year better not be full of it. I'm going to make it the best year yet.

Get well soon, Uncle Rick.

Things that bother me...

2009-05-06T14:26:00.000-07:00

-- When people say they listen to EVERYTHING... then go except ______.
-- People who act tough but have no intention of backing up anything they are saying.
-- Disappointment.
-- Feeling invisible.
-- People not answering their phones when you need them the most.
-- When people tell me I can't do something that I know in my heart I can.
-- When people don't believe in me.
-- When people say things on purpose to make you feel bad.
-- Heart break.
-- Knowing you have something to do but not having any motivation to do it.
-- Needing people.
-- When too many things are going on at once.
-- Needing to write but having so many things going on in your head that you can't get any thing straight.
-- When people are upset and you have no way to help them.
-- Helplessness.
-- Hopelessness.
-- Bad grammar.
-- Having to admit defeat.
-- Having to use spell check.
-- When people say something you believe in or like is stupid.
-- When people have facts for EVERYTHING, even though their facts are wrong.
-- When people give you dirty looks for no reason.
-- People who criticize others for standing out and being themselves.
-- Not being able to hit notes I know I should.
-- When EVERY song reminds me of you.
-- When people take advantage of you.

That's all for now, but I'm sure when I can think straight I'll be adding more.

Like is a Battle. Love is War.

2009-04-15T23:51:00.000-07:00

It seems like when things go wrong, it makes me stronger.
Not only stronger but wiser, as well.

I WILL NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES :)
I just can't believe it took me 10 months to learn; that kind of disappoints me.

I know there's a lot I want to write about but I'm so scatterbrained right now, I just can't get it out in coherent words. Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to get across what I'm thinking.

Staying strong and not texting you (:

You're Going to Miss This.

2009-03-31T13:37:00.000-07:00

It was awful going home after school today, I still feel like I'm going to go to rehearsal later.
I miss seeing everyone everyday and it's only been one day.
This really sucks.
I need a date for the BBQ!.
:)
BADADADADA!

I watched the senior skit again today, and was on the floor laughing and my sister just didn't understand it, no one will.

ANNIE '09 and Forever.

On With the Show!

2009-03-27T20:32:00.000-07:00

ANNIE IS GOING AMAZING!
You can't even imagine how happy I am, I'm like on cloud nine.
This is amazing.

:) :) :) :) :)

Thank you to everyone who helped us sell out tonight, and to everyone who came.

I'm going to miss spending everyday with the cast :(

About Stuff.

2009-03-18T08:37:00.000-07:00

I've been so stressed out lately; like I'll get an idea for a song or something and not have time to write it. I just want to write music again, and actually be able to hang out with my friends again. i want time back.
I love doing Annie so but I'm so exhausted. Only a week and a half to go :)
I'm so nervous, Mr. O keeps telling me I need to be bigger; I'm afraid I'm not going to be. I'm sure it'll be fine, Justin has faith in me.

I need to get my emotions in check soon!

twitter is fun; I don't even know why but it is.
If you don't have one get one and follow me, http://twitter.com/chelsiesparks

:):):):) (:(:(:(:
:(:(:(:():):):):

And Remember this Dear; We'll be watching the Same Stars Tonight.

2009-03-09T14:56:00.000-07:00

So; guys.. I CAN'T STAND THEM!
I remember why I wanted to stay single; too much blahh.
:)!

Annie is in like 17 days; I'm freaking out. I feel ready but not ready enough.
and ACT's tomorrow.
Intense.
I can't wait for all this to be over so I can start writing again. I miss it.
I've had so many good ideas but haven't been able to work on them.

TRIMESTERS are the dumbest things ever!
AND GERMAN ISN'T FUN ANYMORE.

IDK. not a lot is going on.

AS ALWAYS- I MISS JAMIE; HOPEFULLY I CAN SEE HER SOON.

ATTEMPTING TO WRITE :)

new years resolutions blog updated!

TEXT!

I'm Talking About Change!

2009-02-15T15:25:00.000-08:00

I realized, that I AM COMPLETELY OVER YOU!
(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:

And, man it feels so good. I know exactly what... who.... did it, too.
But the fact that those songs don't bother me anymore and the fact that you have a girlfriend doesn't bother me, makes me feel amazing.
It's finally the past.

Time heals a Broken Heart for sure. ( :

Oh, glory, this is amazing. My day is golden.

Bigger and Better Things, Here I Come( :

It takes a boy to make me forget a boy.

"i've been going crazy since the moment i met you."
seriously, and its getting worse then ever, recently.
but it's not bothering me.

(:

Good Friends. Good Times.

2009-02-14T19:36:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, yeah. Fantastic.
Though I was dead tired and fell asleep as soon as I got home it was definitely worth it.
That should happen again really, really soon.

So, I have decided Valentines Day is like the dumbest "holiday" ever.
Even if i did have a boyfriend or whatever it's still kind of dumb to me.
I don't really know why, I'm just not into the whole 'lets spend a bunch of money to remind each other that we love each other.' I think that if you're going to be some one's 'Valentine' it shouldn't take a holiday to make you say I love you.

Whatever.

I'm like super pumped for mid-winter break.
Even though there's so much going on when I get back, maybe I can hangout with a few friends this week( :
and Tami and I can work on our project.

Drifting Oh So Apart.

2009-01-27T12:34:00.000-08:00

I've started to realize that the people I used to be inseparable with are now the people I only talk to occasionally. I don't even talk to a lot of my really good friends any more. I hate this, I know that once we graduate.. none of us are going to talk anymore.
I'm not sure if it's all my fault, or just a mutual drift. I can tell I'm drifting more and more with certain people and I hate it. I'm going to try harder then I have been to try and fix things and keep in touch.
People I really need to get closer with again: Tami, Monica, Maddi, Adam, Jeff, Kate.
and probably a lot more people.

Really short, but I'm going to go write.

Music's in My Soul.

2009-01-24T08:13:00.001-08:00

Recently, one of my biggest pet peeves are people who say they don't like a musician or a band because of their label or where they play shows.
I just need to get this out.

Why would it matter what label they are signed to? I'm so tired of hearing things like "Oh, I don't like the Jonas Brothers because they're on the Disney Channel and are signed to Disney." OK, WHO CARES?! Honestly? That is one of the worst reasons I've ever heard. I guarantee that most of you would take a contract with Disney if you had the opportunity to live your dreams and do what you love doing. They did and I give them credit for that. Just because they're on Disney doesn't mean they are like The Wiggles or The Doodlebops, and write songs for little kids, they write songs for teens. They want to have fans their own age and their songs are things TEENAGERS relate to. What seven year old do you know has gone through hard break-ups with long time girlfriends/boyfriends? Exactly, They are more focused on the teen and older fans. If they were signed to Geffen Records, would that make a difference? If they never were on Disney would you like them? Most of you are probably saying, no.. but you're lying. Get over your pride and listen to music you enjoy, NO MATTER where they're signed.

Next, I get so annoyed with people who say they don't like a band because the venues they play in (ie. Skateland) All bands have to start somewhere. There are a lot of great bands that play local venues to gain a fan base in a city. All of the bands you listen to played those shows, too. Stop dissing bands because they're playing small shows. So A Skylit Drive and Forever in a Day played at Skateland. Do you see where they're going now? Touring with Chiodos. Yeah, Chiodos.

It's about the sound, the lyrics, the music, not where they're from or where they play.
I miss back when the music was all that mattered. If they had talent, people reconized it. Stop hating bands for illegit reasons. To me, it just makes you sound unintellegent.

Oh Boy,

2009-01-23T19:45:00.000-08:00

You drive me crazy. Once again I feel like I'm back to the point where I messed up big time. I'm not going to say that I think it's better this way but I know it's the only way. Well, back to writing sad little songs about you. BTW- I don't know why I EVER felt the way I did, I never wanted to.

Goodness, I hate how you think you can trust someone and you talk to them all day everyday then they just stop talking to you and don't give you a reason... then you find out the reason is because they have a boyfriend/girlfriend.
HINT TO EVERYONE: just because you're dating someone, doesn't mean you have to stop talking to all your friends.
There's this little thing called balance.

I love the people I know will always be there for me.
(I hope you note the ALWAYS! yeah, thanks for that promise)
Emily, Jamie, Sarah, Monica, Tami, and recently Joshua.
I love them unconditionally.

Right now this line is the story of my life.
"People change and promises are broken."
And that's kinda sad.

Venting.

2009-01-22T08:20:00.001-08:00

I just felt that it was necessary to vent about how I've been feeling.
VERY STRESSED. It seems like everything's happening at the same time. I have a huge project for Middle Ages, and I don't know what to do.

Today, someone asked me if I was dating my best friend, anybody who reads this I want to let you know: I AM NOT DATING ADAM. Thank you.

HAPPY FIVE MONTHS, JAMIE!

Anyways, half day today but at 2:45 I have to be back up at the school for 'Annie' rehearsal.
Holy Cow.
I now eat, breathe, live Annie... no time for friends.

Anyone wanting to hang out this weekend? We have to hang out soon before Mr. Olsen decides we need Saturday rehearsals too.

J.O.N.A.S.

2009-01-20T12:40:00.000-08:00

So, I got to go to the Jonas Brothers concert...
And Oh my. It was even better then the first time (minus the fact Jamie wasn't there)
I could actually see them... and Kevin.
I will admit I cried a lot.
Just being in the same arena with them was so powerful. Nothing like being so close to your heroes.
Flawless Lawless, Garbo, JT, and Ryan (with the dreds) were amazing.
Easily one of the greatest nights of my life.
I need to upload the videos for Jamie.

SOON!

Goodness, I don't even know what to say. My brain is still scrambled from them. I guess since I can't form words I'll update later when I can think clearly.. right...

Goodness.

2009-01-17T18:55:00.000-08:00

So, if my mother decides to be nice... I'll be able to go to the Jonas Brothers concert tomorrow.
Wow, just thinking about how fantastic that would be... oh gosh... speechless... breathless....hopeful.
I mean it's definitely not Jonas Watch: Hallway Edition 2009 without Jamie, but still would be quite fantastic. Cleaning all night to get better chances.

Anyways, things seem a tad better with the person in my last post, we'll call him Carl? Okay that works.. Carl is still as confusing as ever but it's better.

I hope things get better with the Biffs though, I'm tired of being in the middle of it.
I will be there for them if they need me but like not in the middle.

I'm frustrated and I really don't know why.
STUPID COMPATIBILITY TEST! I DO NOT WANT HIS BROTHERS.
okay sure that last part didn't make sense..
oh well.

Confused.

2009-01-16T15:49:00.000-08:00

Seriously, why do you have to make everything so difficult? Like you confuse me so much. Sometimes it seems like everything would just be easier if I just staying single for the rest of my life... I mean i do enjoy cats. i could be the ol' cat lady all the children are scared of and stay at home with my twenty-seven cats. That seems easier then what we're going through now.
We both need to figure out what we want. If it's not each other then oh well.

On the other hand, I HATE BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FRIENDS FIGHTING.
As hard as I'm trying to stay out of it... I keeping getting dragged back into it.

I just need a vacation from EVERYONE except: Josh, Adam, Emily, Sarah, and Jamie.

Oh my Tom Petty, how I wish I could fix everything for everyone.

New Years.

2008-12-29T09:25:00.000-08:00

My best friends are in Tennessee and I'm stuck at home. Well Jayy is at home, Emm just went to visit. But still.. Like I can't talk to either of them for like 5 more days. This is killing me.
The most that has ever happened in my life happens while there gone.

I really am happy for them though. They get to spend time with each other, not gonna lie, I am a tad jealous.

Like me, Emm && Jay; inseparable... but they are so much closer with each other then with me. Is it bad I'm jealous of my best friends?
