Temperatures Rising

Hey-lo people. Whats new? well, just to let you know, the concert was absoloutely amazing, though Im sure that you have already heard all about it. First, Sara came out and sang this song with Delerium, it was cool. Then, Delerium played a few songs, which was good, the lead singer lady was good. I asked the people who were sitting beside me who she was, cause I didnt know, and they were like "isnt that Avril Lavigne?" And i was like.. NO! But they didnt believe me, oh well. Ok, so then Chantal Kreviazuk played some songs, including "Blue: and "In this Life". Then Raine Maida came onto the stage, and he and Chantal sang "Running to Stand still" which was really well done. The song "Running to stand still", originally off of U2's "The Joshua Tree" album was quite a suprise, but without doubt, they pulled it off quite nicely. Then they sang "Bridge over Troubled water" and "Innocent" which was amazing. I was quite moved. OK, then Sum 41 came out onto the stage, which wasnt so bad, they did a good job, they held the crowds attention. They even dissed Bush, which, I dont think should have been brought into the night, but it's all good. We Shrugged it off, and enjoyed the rest of their performance. THEN, Ok, the suprise guest came out. You'll never guess who it was. Well, im sure you already know, so I'll hop right to it. Robin Williams. As he was introuduced, it was a shocked moment of silence before the screams and cheers errupted. Im not even kidding you, he was only there for like, five minutes, but the energy was insane after that. imagine, we saw robin williams! He was good, he introduced the next band as "every young mans fantasy, THE BARE NAKED LADIES" it was kinda funny. So then they played a bunch of songs, Like "if i had a million dollars, it's all been done" and much more. Guess what, they even did THE CHICKEN DANCE! They had everyone in GM Place doing the chicken dance in perfect harmony with them. IT was so funny to see. Ok, then Avril Lavigne came onstage, looking as Un-punk as I've ever seen her, but gorgeous all the same. She was alright, but really off key the whole time, which sucked for her. At one point, I was just sitting there, and was like, Ok, Avril, Play my song, play my song, and guess what? She did, it was great. She played Nobodys home, and did a good job, just her and the guitar. It was really nice. Then, This little choir with drums sang the song that usually goes "Soon and very soon, we are gonna see the king" but instead of saying that, they sang "soon and very soon, we are gonna change the world" and they did a good job. They dropped some hot beats too, it was great stuff. Then the moment we had all been waiting for. Sara McLauchlan. Not only was she absoloutely Gorgeous (just for you mike), her voice blew everyone away. She Sang Fallen, Hold on, And a few others, finally ending with Angel. (Naturally) It sure was beautiful. Then Everyone (except Robin Williams!) came back onto the stage, and finished off with "I shall be released" and "Hey Jude".. It was quite the good concert, I had a really good time, even if I was a bit tired by the end of it. Not only was it alot of fun, together, it raised over 2 million dollars for Tsunami Releif. Good on ya, Vancouver. So yeah, Yesterday was Sunday, I worked all day, and around 4:30, Sean called and was like.. Can you babysit tonight? And I was like, umm what time? "when can you be here?" he asked. That was great, so I just packed up my stuff and went, had a bit of a relaxer, it was nice. Im headed there tonight too, so thats a bit of money in the pocket, it's good. Plus, I really missed the kids too. They got back around 8pm, which was really early, and unexpected. So then I went over to Tricias, where we all sat around upstairs chatting, Jim Complaining mostly, and telling us how much Sara McLauchlan sucked. Beleive me, I had something to say about that, Me and MJ. Ha ha, we didnt let him get away with that comment. So a good time was had by all. And today, I got up around eight, and went to go get a coffee before my first provincial exam. It was no big deal, I think i did alright. I finished in good time, with fifteen minutes to spare. Then I went on an errand for mom, got her some table cloth thing, and had some lunch at Pizza hut with Tricia. It was good fun. So now, here I am, getting ready to bbsit for Sean again tonight, wishing you the most awesome of afternoons. Love you all!
love forever: Shle

"Deeper than the ocean
And wider than any sea
You make me feel high like heaven
Its more than a dream come true
To me your like the sun brightening my day
Happy ending of any story
With an angles glow
You bring my soul Joy"
Nina Sky,
