I-- am beyond exhausted, actually. We signed on the house Monday, wherein the seller cried a little and turned out to be younger than me, and her agent was still a douche. But it's over with! Legally own house, yay! Changed the locks and started cleaning yesterday, so everything is prepped to paint tomorrow after some sanding. Yay!
Today was Warped Tour-- I loved hanging out with ms. virtasquee for the entire day. However, the heat sucked so hard and I wanted to kick in so many heads, it wasn't even funny-- from the asshole literally heaving crowd surfers onto little 100 lbs teenagers at The Academy Is... to spontaneous mosh pits during slow songs to the whacko starting a fistfight in the crowd and interrupting the Forever the Sickest Kids' performance to the teenage couple getting off with their hands down each other's pants in the middle of the lawn to the drunk teenage girls-- I accept that I'm just not meant to go to those sorts of concerts anymore. Seriously. Overall rudest fans ever, beyond Ozzfest and I had sod thrown at me then. We hid out in the 21+ bar area for a bit-- dark, shaded, with fans-- and drank a lot of water/lemonade/Monster, but I could only eat half a hot dog all day because of the heat, so we left after TAI and didn't stay for Gym Class Heroes :(
(For real, the TAI crowd? I literally couldn't move my arms up or down, it was so packed, and all the little teeny bopper girls up front were getting trampled by the moshers and crowd surfers. One got kicked in the face. I barely watched the show because people weren't giving any warnings with the crowd surfing-- just throwing bodies at the backs of people's heads. And that was TAI-- no way were we gonna survive GCH.)
Other than that, saw some cool bands:
Behold the Flood, who handled the early morning crowd very well. They had no tent or merch that I could find, tho, so I was sad.
Know Lyfe had an awesome stageshow and were just so into playing and getting the crowd worked up that I had to respect that. They sound good, too ^.^
Forever the Sickest Kids-- I bought a little sling bag with their logo. The lead singer actually interrupted singing to tell the crazy girl to chill out and leave if she was gonna be a hater, because we're all family and there's only love here. It was really cute, even if the girl was psycho scary and shrieking her way out of the crowd. I honestly thought someone was attacking her until I saw that she was the one randomly punching people. Bad trip?
The Audition, who had no bus for the past two weeks, so was just the lead singer and this dude, Seth, on acoustic guitar/drum machine/vocals. I really liked their acoustic playing, but listening to their myspace, I dunno. They're a little too whiny for me... :(
And of course there was the Bouncing Souls (20th band anniversary this year. 20 whole years!) and The Academy Is...
We also caught some Relient K, Say Anything, and a little Madina Lake (sp?) but I'm meh about them.
So I'm tired, and going to go sleep for another full day of painting tomorrow. I hope we can move everything in this weekend :/

We'd debated Warped vs the Honda Civic Tour, but we went for the cheaper one to save for gas money. I think we should have just shelled out the extra fifteen dollars for HCT. I'm definitely taking the "only bands I really like" approach :/
