No Doubt and Paramore!!!!!!!!!

My friend Maneka and I went to see No Doubt and Paramore in concert. Soooo amazing and it was my first time being in the front row!!! The night started out with a $10 beer that was not all that cold or big for the price and we listened to a group called Bedouin Soundclash. They are from Canada and we were really great!! The lead singer was cute and had a very unique voice that we were diggin'.


















Then Paramore came out and gave an awesome performance. I have some of their stuff and I knew who they were but I had never really listened to them much, I am a fan now!! I was impressed that they sounded soooo good live!!

































Then the main event..... No Doubt!! They have always been a BIG favorite of mine! I was so excited when Maneka said I could go with her. They had an all white stage and they all dressed in black and white. They had bright colored lighting and projections, it was like watching techni-color! Gewn Stefani is beautiful and very athletic, she is not one of those extremely petite skin and bones celebs. She had so much energy and was constantly moving the stage; that made it a little bit harder to take a clear pic but I managed to get some. She said there were 22,000 people in attendance that night!! During the show she pointed out this guy who had a sign that listed the top 3 things to do before he died. One of them was get a pitcure taken with Gwen Stefani, so she brought him up on stage and took a pic with him! I was sooo jealous!! She also received a home made vest that matched her outfit from someone else in the audience that she wore for a couple of songs. One of the drummer's costumes was a pair of white thermal pants that he wore with out undies and then he came out in a pink and white tutu! Gwen Stefani got down off the stage at the end and sang right up against the crowd and then stood on the gate and sang. When she was getting up there she almost fell back, good thing she had guys hold her and helping her up. At the very end of the concert she signed autographs and Maneka got her album booklet signed, it looks like scribbles but its Gwen Stefani scribbles! The night ended with the purchase of a $35 tee shirt. I have never had so much fun at a concert ever and from now on I am going to be a snob about my concert tickets, I want to be close!!! =)

Random Blog Link

If only I was this creative and witty. =)

Interviews

I have an interview today at 2pm and I am scared to death. I think it is normal to worry but since I have been working on getting a job since June this interview is important. The last interview I had was the worlds shortest interview, it was 5 minutes long. The guy played it off as though he was busy and just wanted to explain a few things but I think he took one look at me and was like ummm hell no! The interview I have today is for the Vaughan Group , which is a real estate company and I would be working with condos. I am interviewing to be an administrative assistant/property manager. I just feel like I am not prepared for this, it did not help that she wanted to interview me right away leaving no real prep time. I am sure I could do the job but I just feel like I do not have enough experience to have a "real" job. All of this might be normal but it sucks. I just don't know how to answer some questions and what if one question blows everything for me or what if this interview is another short one like the last where I will walk out knowing I have no chance in hell. I feel like I need this job but I read some where that no one needs a job; they need air, they need food....blah blah blah. I just want to move out of my parents house and get a place of my own. I guess I just need to go in there answer the questions as best I can, be myself, and ask questions of my own. Thats all I can do....BLAH

My New Business??

So, I have decided that I am going to get into being a sales person through Lia Sophia. Yes it is a sales job but I don't feel so bad doing this. Its not door to door or anything. People host parties and I would come and set up displays and talk about the products and then the people at the parties place orders. I would get 30% of what was sold at the party so if a party was $400 I would get around $120 for 3 or 4 hours. Its worth a try since I have no job and I am in need of money. I am meeting with someone about this on Tues. Once I get settled if anyone wants to host a party to help me out let me know!!!!

More to come....

Life Update

I have now applied for 17 full time jobs without a single interview. I can't even find a part time job. I applied at Bath and Body works, had the interview, and was never offered a position. I also applied at Barns and Noble, had an interview, and then 3 days later got a card in mail basically telling me I was over qualified to work there. I guess being over qualified is better than being not qualified enough, but all I wanted was to make some money.... its a part time job selling books for crying out loud I would not have applied if I was not serious about working there. I applied at the Limited, was offered to come in to interview, missed that call, called back, and never got a returned call. I don't know what to do, I need a job. I don't want to live in my mom's house past the first of the year.

I talked before about someone I liked, nothing will happen with that either. I don't understand why all of my friends have no trouble at all. Its not like I am not putting myself out there, I am. I have a friend that broke up with her boyfriend and wanted to find herself a certain kind of person. So, we go out and she is almost immediately approached by exactly what she was looking for times 10! I don't know how she does it, its like she has ESPN or something.....JK =) But there is something she is doing that I am not, oh wait she just sits at a bar. I am sick to death of being the single one. I feel like I am losing friends because I am single and others have no idea how to balance relationships. I totally understand that when you get involved with someone that others take a back seat. It seems that with me I take a back seat on a 30 car train. That may sound stupid but I think you understand what I mean. I have felt so much rejection I want to feel loved and wanted for once in my life. Is that really so much to ask for?? I'm sorry if I offend anyone but I am sick of bullshit statements like just be patient it will happen when it happens. Fuck patience, I have patience for a lot of things but right now this is not one of them. Just tell me the hard truth without the cushion. I used to say I want someone blah blah blah but I don't think I really wanted that at that time. Now, I want someone in my life more than ever before it is almost overwhelming at times. I probably have more problems than someone would want to deal with but a little attention would be nice. I am sick of going out and just being the girl of interest's friend where it would not make a difference if I were there or not. I may sound crazy..... just venting.

Just stuff

I am at Bakers and it is so quiet and boring, there is no one here. My mom is at a meeting, 2 people are on vacation, and who knows where the others are. So, I decided to write a blog; though I think no one reads it .... anyways ..........

There is not much going with me right now other than job hunting and wishing I had someone in my life on a personal level. I have put in 11 applications and I have not heard back from anyone. I cant just take any job because I have to live on my own and I am saying in order for me to live comfortably I need to make at least $30,000. I don't have an option to live with someone. After everything that went down with someone I thought would be OK I don't trust living with just anyone; and the person I would live with is living with someone else. Which is fine but now I am thrown into being even more alone by living alone. I am sure once I am living on my own I will be fine but I get lonely and bored really easy and it is a little scary for me. When I am lonely and bored I think too much and then become depressed sometimes, it depends on what I am thinking about.

There is someone I am interested in but I am not sure if he is interested in me. Honestly (depression moment) I don't know how he could be. I have heard from my mom that he maybe be interested in me but he would be afraid to bring me around his friends because I am not a skinny mini and need to loose 20 or so pounds. Then I heard from a friend that his friends are pressuring him not to get into a long term relationship. I don't know, I think he is just not interested in me. Others have noticed that he acts differently around me than everyone else. I kind of noticed that too in a way. We have a lot in common too. Who knows, my track record is not too good and I am just not that lucky....we'll see.
