Sunshine and New Years and Lake County Punks

this weekend was full of all 3 of these.
On friday, I woke up at about 10:30 to my mother calling. She was supposed to pick me up from Andrea's House at 10. By 11, I was home, redyeing my hair to make it pinker and yelling at her for making me miss my first train.
Kyle picked me up, we missed the second chance at the first train, and then I was off.
On the Electric Line into the city.
I got in at about 3:00. 3:00 is the time that my second train was supposed to leave. So I missed the first chance at the second train. I used that opportunity to get dressed and put on makeup. Then I walked to union station.
Ok, so the Electric line is about 10 minutes from my apartment. Union Station, however, is 20 minutes to a half hour (keep in m ind I walk everywhere). I forgot, and the train was supposed to be at 4:40 and I get there are 3:34. I had my ticket at 3:36, but I saw no signs of a 4:40 train. The next train was a l4:45, so I got on that one. Technically not a missed train, but close enough.
I spent a total of 2 and a half hours on the train. I have new sketches for another train painting because of a guy eating ice cream. Got to the station and Meg picked me up and we went to the show.
First band: Annoying.
Second band: the Digital Kill, wonderful.
Third band: Meg's band, Cyntext. Meg is hot and has a lovely voice. I don't dig metal but it was cool to watch her.
Fourth and fifth bands: Some other metal bands. I didn't watch them.
After Meg played I stood outside with some friends of hers. Lots of fun. They're great kids.
Eventually we went to Meg's house. Her house is very large. We had pizza and more hanging out, and eventually the three girls I had met went home and Meg, Kenzie and I went to sleep. That was about 1.
Early? Early for me.
Meg lives in Lake county. Lake county is the richest county in IL. That's why I felt so weird in Meg's house.
On the way home, I got to the first train on time. But I left my phone charger. So I got off at the next stop (which was luckily close) and went back to her house to get it. We watched part of a movie called space cowboys. It had Clint Eastwood and Tommy Lee Jones. I got on the train a second time and made it to Chicago. I then walked straight to the next station and Got on a train.
(This caused me to realize that I would love to be a beat.)
I got home to Kyle. Excepting one incident, it was a beautiful evening. He and Nick drove me to RTC.
The night progressed as usual from there.

Also! Kenny Sunshine called me twice on friday night! The first call was to ask if I was busy this week, and the second call was because he didn't know what day it was.
Adorable.

Also! Tonight is New Years Eve! Yay(?)
