I finally have pictures from the Drake Bell/Corbin Bleu/Aly & AJ/Bianca Ryan Concert on August 25, 2007. Thanks Monique. I love you babe!

Corbin Bleu pictures
Yeah, his hair is really that great.

This picture was a fluke, but I have so much love for it.
The rock Spartan and us.
Bails.
Mo.
And me. It was a great weekend.
August 25, 2007. A day that will go down in history, mine at least. My first ever concert. Pretty sad, huh? But it was worth the wait. The concert I attended was in Boston, Massachusetts, at the Bank of America Pavillion. Drake Bell, Corbin Bleu, Biance Ryan, and Aly & AJ. And I went with the best company ever...friends. Monique and Bailey. And Bailey's Mom who was brave enough to deal with us through the concert and the night we spent in Boston.
Bianca Ryan performed first. Man, does that girl have a voice. I was amazed. And she's so cute. I really enhoyed her portion of the concert, though it was only 20 miutes long.
Corbin Bleu followed her up as it started to get darker outside. He got the audience pumped. I don't think he stop dancing at all through the fourty minutes he was on stage. That song from High School Musical 2 "I Don't Dance" was totally a charactersong, because Corbin Bleu does dance. A lot. He was very good. I screamed like a fangirl. *shrugs* So I am.
Drake Bell...this will be long winded. Before every act came on they played a short clip of them. For Biance Ryan it was the clip of her winning America's Got Talent last year. Corbin's was him dance. For Drake it was this picture:
That was all Monique, Bailey and I needed to scream at the top of our lungs. We weren't the only ones screaming, but we were probably the loudest and most enthusiastic. After that Drake actually came on stage. He had his guitar and was wearing sunglasses. He played: "Up Periscope", "I Know", "Do What You Want", "Found A Way", "Makes Me Happy", "Fool the World", A song none of us had ever heard, "Fallen For You", "Rusted Silhouette", "Break Me Down", and "End It Good". Somewhere around "Makes Me Happy" he took his sunglasses off and I think Bailey and I both melted. Also during "Makes Me Happy" he looked over, saw our sign, and smiled at Bailey (who was holding said sign). I of course missed this. Though I don't know how. Monique got some amazing pictures of Drake on stage and I'll put them up when I get them. And when I'm all set up at Champlain I'll scan in my ticket and program.
We didn't watch any of Aly & AJ. We went to get autographs and missed it all. Unfortunately only people with VIP passes were allowed to get autographs and none of us had those. A very kind man at the concert with his daughters was able to get Bailey in to see Drake and she got a pull-out poster from of those PopStar-type magazines signed by Drake. And also a hug.
After that we went back to our hotel room and fangirled for about an hour. Then Mo and Bailey's Mom went to bed. Bailey and I attempted to do some writing and ended up staring at the signed poster and a picture of Jensen I had. Then we shut off the lights and chatted 'til about 2.
It wasan awesome night, though Mo and I are a little jealous of Bailey. Mo and Bailey both got Drake shirts, and I got a poster for my dorm room wall. Those shirts are pretty nice to look at. I have pictures of them modeling them to put on my dorm wall as well.
I can't wait to share pictures from the concert Monique took some amazing ones of Drake. The ones of Corbin came out blurry because he never stopped moving.
I just watched the episode "Shadow" (of Supernatural, duh!). By the end I was thinking that it really needed a good fanfiction tag. And by that I mean, at the end of the episode all three guys are pretty hurt, but Dean is bent over and wavering, etc. Now this may be because of how Jensen played it, but I would love it if there was a really good fanfic where Dean was more hurt than he let on.
I went looking for a fanfic that fit that description and found one (sort of), but first I want to try to show what I mean about Dean using screencaps. And if that doesn't work then at least we can look at the pretty pictures.
These two pictures are from the second "meeting" with the Daeva. Notice how Dean has his arm protectively covering his ribs. That's what I see at least.
This picture amazes me. If you look at the big version (and I have) Jensen's eyes look cloudy, kinda unfocused. Which I'm going to say is because Dean got his butt kicked by the Daeva.
I'm pretty sure this screencap spurs on Wincest lovers (that's right...Winchester incest), which I am not. I think it's a cute picture though. It looks like Dean is about to just nap right there.
Okay, so my proof that Dean is beat up more than he lets on is flimsy, but rewatch the scene and listen because there's so pretty gruesome sound effects and one of the Daevas (Daevi??) does seems to hang around Dean. And who really cares. There are pretty pictures.
BTW, these screencaps are from Striped Wall (http://stripedwall.com) and Screencap Paradise (http://screencap-paradise.com).
I said I'd found a story that I was looking for kind of. Here it is: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2839092/1/. It's a very well written story (and I know. I've read a lot of stuff on fanfiction.net). The only reason it's not perfect is because they end up in the hospital. I feel like that cheating. I'm just wierd. I like the stories where they (The Winchester Brothers) stay in a motel and patch each other up. Because that's the way it is in the show. In the first season they went to the hospital once (I think) and that was in "Faith" when Sam ran downstairs after saving the kids to find his brother lying in a puddle and (with how powerful Dean had made those tasers) probably not breathing. And I'm glad that they don't always end up in hospitals because if I wanted to watch hot guys in a hospital I'd flip over to Grey's Anatomy. Though, let's be honest, Jensen and Jared are way hotter than Patrick Dempsey, Eric Dane, Isaiah Washington, T.R. Knight and Justin Chambers. And Jeffrey Dean Morgan gets credit for being on both shows.
^*^*^*^*^
I have news. And it's exciting for me. On August 25, 2007, Me and two friends (Monique and Bailey) are taking a car trip to Boston, Massachusetts. To see Drake Bell in concert. Monique is buying the tickets tomorrow I believe. I'm super excited. We were supposed to see him in concert at a ski resort on Wachusett Mountain in Princton, Massachusetts (I believe), but it got canceled so we had a sleepover instead. That concert date was never really for sure though and had to be canceled due to the large number of people planning to show up (too many according to fire safety codes). I'm looking over information for the concert:
It's at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston, MA.
It starts at 7pm.
Performing will be Aly & AJ, Corbin Bleu, Drake Bell and Bianca Ryan.
That's right. Corbin Bleu and Drake Bell in the same building...at the same time (and for the same performance). WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! This is information I did not know. Sara's gonna be so jealous, she loves Corbin Bleu.
Side Note: I want to read some of this author's stories when I have time: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/596294/.
This post brought to you by this YouTube video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=a9ZKwtgoZfY, chocolate, the internet, and pure excitement.
I feel like making a desktop picture (since I have all those screencap sites open.
Goals for the near future: survive tomorrow's chorus/band concert. I'm a soprano I and I have a cold. I can barely speak coherently, let alone hit those high notes...ugh.
Almost everybody has seen the "Charlie the Unicorn" video on YouTube.com. And for those who haven't here's a link to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgO3NcG3IHM. It's a funny video, though a little annoying if watched too many times.
Once you've watched that there are so many remakes that people have made in their spare time. I found my favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6DjeK2xIZc. That's right...someone put Supernatural clips to Charlie the Unicorn. And my friends think I'm obsessed. I just spend the time finding this stuff.
And I find alot of stuff. Especially on YouTube. Here is the link to my YouTube profile: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=OverExcitedGeek. As of posting this link I have 291 videos in my favorites list. I don't have any videos that I've made (because I've never made any) but I find some of the best stuff. Very diverse: Supernatural, Dark Angel, Firefly/Serenity, Drake Bell, Jensen Ackles, Stargate (SG-1 and Atlantis), and more. Because...I really have no life.
On a completely unrelated topic. We bought season 2 of Stargate Atlantis yesterday. I'd seen most of the episodes, and have now watched the ones I hadn't seen, but I can't wait to watch commentaries and special features.
Drake Bell is a new obsession. I've seen a few episodes of Drake and Josh (I have to make an effort to fins them online because I don't have Nickelodeon) and I've seen the movie Drake and Josh Go Hollywood, but the thing that makes me like him so much is his music. I love him in Drake and Josh, but I can't watch the show while doing other things. I have his CD "It's Only Time" and I love it. I blame Bailey for getting me so into him. I've been listening to the CD on repeat since I got it on Monday.
I love the movie Drake and Josh Go Hollywood. My favorite part is when they've been kidnapped. Drake climbs up a bookshelf or something and they're looking over a poorly constructed wall (it doesn't go all the way up to the ceiling) at what the bad guys are doing. One of the guys sees them and all the bad guys run around to the door of the room Drake and Josh are in. I think it hysterical that when TBG (The Bad Guys) open the door Drake and Josh are playing a clapping game. It's so simple that it's hilarious and I love it. I also like that Tony Hawk's Viper (in the movie, if not in real life) is standard. That was cool. Standard's are a lot of fun once you get used to driving them.
I think that's the end of my Drake Bell rant, for now. I realized that I hadn't really said anything about my new obsession (not as bad an obsession as Supernatural, thank God) so I had to post this.
So...I got bored last night and decided I needed to Photoshop something. So I went to work finding pictures, and I think I did pretty well.
I made two desktop pictures. The first one is from my friend Bailey. It is a Drake Bell wallpaper. I'm very proud of it. It's very simple. The picture is from drakecentral.org.
The second desktop picture I made is called 'My Christmas List'. It's the middle of January and I finally wrote my Christmas list. The picture is from jensenacklesfans.com. I did a whole bunch of cool photoshop stuff to it, then put on the text.
Both of them are '.jpg' files. Don't claim them as your own please. They're both 1024 x 768. Because that's my screen size. The 'My Christmas List' one is my wallpaper now.
I just watched the People's Choice Awards, and I've discovered that the shows, and celebrities I watch are never metioned. So, as a teen, if I were to make my own awards they would be like this:
The 'Only Show On The CW That Doesn't Tank on Thursdays at 9pm'...Supernatural.
The 'Cutest Giggle' Award...Drake Bell.
The 'Oh Damn Those Jeans Look Good!' Award...Jensen Ackles and Drake Bell (tie).
The 'Male Triple Threat: Sing, Act, Look Awesome' Award...another tie between Jensen Ackles and Drake Bell.
The 'Longest Running Show to Lose Its Leading Cast Member and Character' Award...Stargate SG-1.
Yeah. I'd need more awards. And an audience. But whatev. It's my blog I can plan any awards I want.
I've been working in Photoshop and I made the graphic below for a site that I may or may not ever make.
I had to put it up here because my friend wants to see it, but I was unable to send it to her through IM.

I found a notebook that had some freewrite type things I did when I went to a weekly writing group with my Mom. I have alot of them actually. I'm going to put them up. The first four we were given a word and had ten minutes to write. The last four we had two minutes. These were all written on May 25, 2006.
Prompt 1: Fire
Burning, destroying, making new beginnings. Taking down the old to make room for the new. Why is it that it takes a disasterous event to make us think about our lives. When someone dies we wonder if we said "I love you" enough or try to recall the last time we talked to them. Why didn't we call more often? How come we were always busy?
A fire. At home, makes you wonder why? Maybe you weren't good enough. What did you do to deserve it? Why you? Why not the house next door, or no fire at all? Why wasn't the stove turned off? Shouldn't someone have checked to make sure the water heater wouldn't catch fire before putting it in your house? What if I had been home? Would I have been able to stop it? Call the fire department? Would I have gotten hurt? What if my family had been home?
Why must we ask the 'what if' questions? Can't we just be happy that we're safe, our family's safe, our friends are safe? Homes can be rebuilt. People can't. Savor the moment.
Prompt 2: Blue (This was supposed to be one long sentence)
Blue skies and blue waters; fresh laundry, is that what blue smells like, this reminds me of somebody's signature I've seen online, "what smells like blue?" What is blue to a dog, dogs are color blind, is blue non-existant; can they tell the difference between the color of water and that of grass, if not how do they know which is which? Is it the motion of the water or are grass and water different shades of grey, is it maybe that they lie down on one and hope they don't get wet because I would think that that would produce alot of wet dogs, and alot of smelly dogs, and that would be no fun at all.
Prompt 3: Elasti Girl
High fashion. Stick thin legs, curves, but only in the right places. Wearing the perfect outfit everyday. These are the rules set for what is percieved to be beautiful, are they not? Rules probably thought up by a guy, but ones that girls all over try to adhere to. Trying to reach unattainable goals, unrealistic perfection. The kind that is seen in the movies and magazine ads. Pictures that have most likely been photoshopped, editted to look better because nobody is perfect. Not even a woman.
Promt 4: "I don't remember the signifigance of these rocks."
I don't remember the signifigance of these rocks. I know the mean something. I remember them meaning something. Something special. To me. When I pick them up I feeltheir coolness fade as the heat from my hand warms them up, but I can feel in my soul that to me they are special, not ordinary. And I am sad because I cannot remember why they are special. I feel as if I am missing a part of me. I have forgotten something dear to me and it's as if I have forgotten a friend from long ago.
Prompt 5: Pineneedle
In my shirt. In my hair. How did a pineneedle get in my ice cream bowl? I'm inside.
Prompt 6: Clam
Clam digging. Mud, squelching, oozing. Sticking in my hand to take a clam. After two I call it quits. I'm done. No more for me.
Prompt 7: Harmony
Somedays unatytainable, standing in chorus and it sounds like everything we try to sing comes out bad. Sharp. Flat. Too high. Too low. Never right.
Prompt 8: Silly
Laughing uncontrollably. No reason I can think up.
^*^*^*^*^
I was flipping channels last night and ended up on TV Guide's "50 Sexiest Men on TV" special. I wrote down a few of them so that I could brag or whatever. I haven't been able to find a full list on line though.
Here's what I wrote down from TV Guide list of 50 sexy guys on tv:
#37 :: Jared Padalecki
#32 :: Mark Harmon
#28 :: Hugh Laurie
#27 :: Chad Michael Murray (yeah, even TV Guide thinks Jensen is hotter than you!)
#26 :: Jensen Ackles
#22 :: Justin Chambers
#21 :: Isiah Washington
#19 :: Tom Welling
#18 :: David Boreanaz
#12 :: James Denton
#8 :: John Stamos
#7 :: Jeffrey Dean Morgan
#5 :: Matthew Fox
#4 :: Wentworth Miller
#3 :: Julian McMahon
#2 :: Patrick Dempsey
#1 :: Josh Holloway
I'm very thankful that the entire cast of Supernatural is on this list (Hell Yeah!!) because the guys deserve it. Sometime in the near futre I will be printing out pictures and making my own list. I intend to include actors that are on show on channels like SCI-FI and Nickelodean because they've got some nice looking guys too (Michael Shanks, Ben Browder, Drake Bell, Jamie Bamber, etc). I also think that Justin Hartley should be on the list because, well, he's sexy. But I think this list was from last year because Jeffrey Dean Morgan is currently not on tv (RIP Denny Duquette and John Winchester). I would be interested in seeing a more updated list.
^*^*^*^*^
And no I have some more writing to post. I have three poems that I've done. I'm not really a poetry person, but the first one I wrote during the writing group thing on May 25, 2006. The other two I wrote for an English project and actually liked.
My Day
Slept in,
Got up late,
Went to school,
Wasn't late.
Sat through homeroom,
Read through Study Hall,
And History.
Science class we went outside,
in our groups we visited stations,
Learned how science is used in the military,
To ensure safe environments for men...and women to go in,
Communication trucks and T.O.C. vans.
In WebTeam we went outside,
A first for our computer geek class.
I have no recollection of English class,
I know I was there,
Why can't I remember what we did?
A sub in Math,
Finished my homework,
Thirty minutes more reading.
After school, with my friends,
Helping with Ryan's book talk,
Eating chocolate,
Reading the slogans -- fortune cookie like -- from the inside of Dove candy wrappers.
Playing the Sims,
Washing the dishes,
Watching season 2 episode of Atlantis that I haven't seen.
And now here,
Writing and sharing,
Letting free my creativity.
Last Night
Last night,
I was sixteen,
But tonight I am not,
Tonight I am seventeen.
One year older,
Everything's changed,
But nothing's different.
My friends are still my friends,
My hair still won't go up nicely,
And my homework still needs my attention.
Last night I was sixteen,
And tomorrow I will be eighteen,
But tonight I am seventeen,
And that's all that matters right now.
Have You No Sense? -Dedicated to Kathryn and Chris Wright
You drink,
You drive,
You'll hurt someone.
Many someones.
It's okay you've only had a few,
And you're always really careful.
You know the roadsd well,
And the weather's not that bad...
It'll be okay,
No harm,
No foul,
No one will even know,
That you drove drunk.
It'll be okay.
But it only takes once,
To ruin a life,
Your's or someone else's.
Why take the chance?
You drink,
You drive,
You take a life,
One that means something to someone else.
You should have stayed home,
Called a cab,
Passed on the last drink.
Have you no sense?
^*^*^*^*^
I think that's all for tonight. I've discovered Friday5.org and the Supernatural Friday Five community on LiveJournal so I'd like to try some of those out. I also discovered PicSpams this week. And what wonderful things they are. Anteka has some really great Supernatural ones on her LiveJournal. I don't know the address, but I encourage people to check them out.
I have just been photoshopping away these past weeks. I just finished making a Drake Bell banner for my friend Bails.
I finished my English project in time. It took me 'til midnight though.
