RIDE RIDE, BABY, RIDE RIDE!

i think i can safely say that the hives put on the best show out of every band i have seen live.

so yesterday was the epic day at the mall. or the maul, as i affectionately refer to it.
i don't understand how people can be there on a saturday out of want. "oh hey, it's saturday at the biggest mall in ... canada? (i don't know what it is now), lets go spend the whole day with hundreds of people who don't know how to walk or get the fuck out of the way of other people!"

i accomplished my missions though, then had bubble tea waiting for duncan.

we sat outside for a decent spot in line and were just talking for a while when this dude walks by. my first thought was "what a hipster" but i kept staring at him. on his way back, duncan and i both heard him and were like "OOOOHHHHHHH", turns out Pelle Almqvist was just going for a leisurely stroll. we then sat there for approximately 2 minutes wondering if we should go up and get a picture.

We didn't.

the show itself was mind blowing. i don't care what anyone else says, he totally pointed to me.
pelle is such a diva, it's amazing. i was blown away by their energy, drama and absolutely amazing stage presence. the 15 year old inside of me that had fallen in love with this band was incredibly satisfied. giddy up!

cereal???
that combined is way worse than the backstreet boys.

cereal..?

i admit it's pretty bad, but the remaining bit of dignity i have seems to be safe from this one (so far).

mainly since i'm not sure what that meant.
