OMFG. So, how close were you at your last concert? Was it anyone worth mentioning? Because last night, I was watching Def Leppard and Bryan Adams. I was in front of the stage, in what would have been the mosh pit if anyone had cared to start one.

How close was I, exactly? Well, for Def Leppard... about 20 feet. Yes, that's right. 20 feet from Def Leppard. Then Bryan Adams started, and the crowd moved, the Def Leppard fans moving out and the Bryan fans in. So we're all moving around, and I get seperated from my dad by one line of people, because I'm half his size and can squeeze up farther.

And this girl, a few years older than I, looks at me and goes, "What are you doing back here? You're tiny, you should be right up front! Come on, I'll take you!"

So I wave at Dad and let her drag me up front. It was great. I ended up four back from the front. I was less than 10 feet from Bryan Adams. It was so fucking amazing. And then the girl's friend looks at me and goes, "Diedre! Did you kidnap this girl against her will? Did she kidnap you against your will?"

"Not against my will," I told him, and he laughed and asked the girl, "Did you tell her you were a lesbian?"

She shoved him and then went on a beer run, and left me in the front, but I was ten feet from Bryan Adams, so I was pleased as punch. So great. He did "Straight From the Heart" acoustic, and just rocked out the rest of the time, and I got a T-shirt later.

So cool.

Then, on the way home, I'm driving and I see this white minivan with a vanity plate, and it says VANAWHT. I cracked up. Today I saw a teenager driving this little car, and the plate said THXNANA. I love people with a sense of humor.

Last thing, does anyone (i.e., Andrea) know where Ritu's party is tomorrow? I lost the invitation.

Need to type up my nearly-complete Mash fic, and finish Don Quixote. Because it's... ONE WEEK TILL HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE!!

I'm excited. Can you tell? Jen? Are we doing something next Friday? Let me know.
