Make A Wish...
This week is crazy. I won that Jack's Mannequin meet and greet pass last night, and all day I have been trying to conjure up a way that I will be able to go... I dont have tickets yet, but they arent very expensive and since I have all my bills paid off for the next month, and money left over, I could get the $20.00 tickets pretty easily. It won't take much gas to get to seattle, just a tank there and a tank back, which is about $40.00. I don't need any accomodations once i get there besides parking money, which will probably be $15-20 for an event... But my aunt and uncle live in Seattle and I can stay with them.
The only other problem is WHO TO GO WITH? hmm... Jamie won't want to, and my little sister would want to, but I dont think my parents would let her... And i don't want to go alone.. hmm.
I have been friends online with a girl named Karly for a few years now, and she is basically my best friend, we talk about everything, and talk everyday for hours. we have ALWAYS planned on meeting up, but have never had the opportunity to. We always wanted to meet up in seattle... And we BOTH love Jack's Mannequin. In fact, the first xmas present I ever sent her was the Jack's Mannequin cd!
So... wouldn't it be AMAZING if we could meet up and go to the show together? It would mean we could finally meet, and also see a band that we both love. It couldn't be more perfect! The plane ticket is around $200, which isn't too bad for a plane ticket. She's going to ask her mom for money, and I have been selling some things online all day to try to scrape up some money.
Who hasn't wished they could hop a plane and go meet someone online who they have become good friends with? It would make me sooo happy if this could work out.
Anyway, I am posting this along with a "make a donation" button on all of my websites, because even if everyone donated $1-$5, I would have enough money for gas and whatnot to go meet her and make it to this show. I am going to do everything in my power to try and make this work out. I want to meet HER more than I want to meet Jack's Mannequin!
I'm not trying to beg for money or seem... pretentious or what have you. People in the past when I was struggling to pay my bills have said to put up a donation button, but I couldn't do it because i'm pretty proud when it comes to accepting help. But, this isn't a BILL, or something I did to myself, it is something that I really want to do, a dream I have had for a long time, and something that would make me so happy. So, I am going to post the button around because every little bit helps. And, I havent done anything fun in so long, I just hope this could work out the way I have always wanted it to.
Thanks to anyone who reads this, and even if you can't donate anything just do me a favor and cross your fingers for me! That's more than enough. xoxox

if you left it up to me,
everyday could be a holiday from real...
