one day at a time

The last few days have been way harder than I could have ever imagined. Losing Maggie feels like losing part of myself. She was like my baby, and now she's gone. I think i'm still in shock because she got so sick so fast. I had no warning. I was believing that she could have two or three more years with me. I'm getting a little better each day, but it still hurts so much. There are so many things that remind me of her. I have to stop writing about this now because it's making me tear up. I think she would want me to know she's out of pain now, and she would want me to be happy, so i'm going to try not to cry right now.

Today has been stressful for another reason, though. I've been up since 5am getting ready to buy the Blink 182 pre-sale tickets. When 10am rolled around, livenation.com wouldn't load the tickets. I tried to get those tickets for over 9 hours. I eventually settled for seats that are farther back than I would like, but i'll still be able to see. I didn't want to wait for the general sale and end up not being able to get tickets at all. I've waited for this reunion for a long time, and I can't miss it.

Getting these tickets means another trip to Chicago. This time I will be seeing Blink 182, Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, and Chester French. Three of my favorite bands, and one i've never heard of. I'm sure this will be epic. So far i've heard that Blink is playing all of my favorite songs of theirs. I'm super excited for this, and I can't wait.

This concert is a week before I move in to my dorm. That's right. On August 21st, 2009, I will be moving out of my house and in to my dorm. Scary.
