I Can't Prove That This Makes Any Sense
So, to be organized here, we'll go in order...in order of time, not of importance:
This weekend, as most of you know (if you can read), I was in Arkansas for "spring break." It was a long drive, a.k.a. 9 hours one way. A good 22 hours in the car altogether. Good times visiting my family up there (down there?), though. We hadn't seen them for awhile, and a lot of things changed. It's funny how you forget how funny your relatives are when you haven't seen them in awhile...
On our way there, we stopped in Kansas City to hit an American Apparel store, and I FINALLY got an American Apparel hoodie like I've been wanting. A nice addition to the trip.
In Arkansas we did a bit of shopping too, especially at the A to Z stores, i.e. several warehouses full of everything you know you don't need but buy anyway. We brought back gifts back for most of you (you know who you are...). We also gambled...I lost. And on a more exciting note, we got to go 4-wheeling through the open plains of Arkansas. Between the everyone's properties, we had a lot of acres to 4-wheel through. So that was pretty fun and frightening, and other F words I do and don't know!
Next up, I'm hoping most of you know of the big event that was yesterday. All I can say is

WELCOME TO THE SOUND OF PRETTY. ODD.
It was amazing, because I got my Deluxe Edition copy yesterday in the mail, so I didn't have to wait for three weeks like I thought I would. I've semi-listened to the whole thing as of now, and I'm really excited (funny, iTunes keeps playing all the Pretty. Odd. songs. And it's playing my whole 405-song playlist. Odd. PRETTY odd. Hehheheh. I've been doing that a lot...). It's a lot different, less techno-dancey with !'s, and more laid-back, folky and Beatles-ey with .'s. I'm hoping to get a chance to listen to it all closely tonight, following along with the lyrics and all. I'm so happy Ryan Ross (guitarist) gets to sing, as well! We all knew he had a good voice, so it's good he gets a little mic time, along with Spencer and Jon. In other Panic news, my mom got the tickets for the Council Bluffs concert yesterday. Lots of Panic love on the 25th...
Oh, and I got my Powerspace T-shirt, too. Hopefully it will be washed by tomorrow and I'll be sporting it around. It kinda got lost in the Pretty. Odd. excitement.
Well, due to lack of sleep, I feel that I've been rambling and adding details where they don't need to be added. Can't. Concentrate.
What is Melanie listening to right now?: Dear Maria, Count Me In - All Time Low
P.S. Kait and Liss went to a Three Days Grace concert last night. Check out their blogs for more details...I'm sure it was great!
P.S.S. I'll be uploading the Arkansas pictures soon, too. Stay tuned!

goHod relatiUonships goRne baTd
Sorry about the grim title. Seems like there's a lot of that going around right now though. Spring cleaning? I seem to be shunned out of a lot of things, at least...
But enough of that..."spring break" starts tomorrow. We'll be jetting off (in a car) to Arkansas to visit family, gone all "break." As if two extra days amounts to anything. Take it or leave it, though, I guess. So, if anyone is planning on making plans, plan not to cuz I'm planning to not be planning here. Plan. That's one of those words that don't look right after typing it 6 times.
I was looking up lyrics for my new songs yesterday on Google, and guess what I found?!?!? My blog on the hitlist. Oh yeah... no wonder you stalkers can find me. Google magic my friends...
iTunes needs to go update somewhere, if you know what I mean, cuz they won't put the freakin' ne Scenes & Sirens album on! It came out FRIDAY. It is WEDNESDAY! Do I have the ability to listen to The South Will Dance Again on my handy iCRAP? No. *twitches into a rage*
CONGRATS TO ALL BLOG READERS AND MYSELF HERE AT YOU DON'T KNOW ME! THIS IS THE 50TH POST!!! WHOOO!
Alissa! Remember to give Kaitlyn the CD!
FSOTW coming soon!
Leaving for now,
your blogger.
What is Melanie listening to right now?: Puppet On a String - The Hives
P.S. I never realized until today how much it bothers me when some people don't have to work to get to where they are, while some of us are stuck in the back, trying to work our way up. But it's pointless, right? Because the people who got there already by not working have already taken the spot we're working toward. I don't know, maybe it's just me. Anybody else?
