I have an obsessive personality. If I like something I tend to obsess over it. This applies to friends, relationships, hobbies, movies, music. This current obsession is a music obsession. I am going to go ahead and thank Fritz and Andreas for this because they gave me the tickets to the concert.

My name is Stassney and I am currently obsessed with The Killers and Brandon Flowers.

This will last a few months until something else catches my attention. Tommy has been making fun of me because I have a school girl like crush on Brandon Flowers.. but really he’s beautiful.. so who cares.

We went to their concert on Tuesday night and even though we were in the mezzanine, it was amazing. The only way I would have enjoyed myself more is if I was in general admission and could jump around and scream along (is jealous of the sarahs). The next morning I promptly downloaded their CDs and have listened to them almost nonstop. I made a CD for my car that, I guarantee you, will not leave my CD player for months.

I am putting this show at the top of my list.

That’s huuuge, considering how great The Black Clouds and Underdogs Tour was for me. That was my first show ever and it had 3 of my favorite bands from that time of my life playing in it. Fall Out Boy, All-American Rejects, From First to Last.. and two bands I hadn’t heard of.. Hawthorne Heights (which I could care less about) and The Hush Sound, who turned out to be so amazing that I saw them 3 other times in the following months. I was front and center, right against the fence. I had a bruise across my stomach from being pressed so hard against it. I showed that off for like a week.

I did have my fair share of issues with The Killers show though. It was an arena show, which isn’t my thing. I like small intimate shows. I like to feel like the performer is having fun with the audience and doing what he loves.. not throwing around something rehearsed because he has to and that’s what’s expected. I like to have some conversation and interaction with the audience. This show was still amazing despite lacking spontaneity.

As for the other things that happened in the past week, I had my 20th birthday! I’ll give you a quick overview. My family and I went to eat at Kobe. That’s always one of my gifts. A 200 dollar meal is like a pre-requisite for my birthday. In my opinion, I love Kobe so it’s definitely worth it. Then we came home and ate a delicious cake and I opened my presents. I got a sewing machine, a wii fit and some other things, but those were the biggies.

The cake was for sure my favorite part. It was the first cake my mother has ever made completely from scratch and my God was it delicious. It was lemon and raspberry and instead of icing it had meringue! Yummmm.

I am going to leave you with some pictures from my birthday, and one of my cat for no real reason, along with the pictures of a dress that I designed specifically for Stefny!
