Ooookay. I've been boring, I know. It's because I AM boring. At least right now. Plus it's cold (SO UNGODLY COLD) and I don't want to do anything that doesn't involve sleeping, or engaging in activities where I don't have to move.
I paid for my Big Show 2011 tickets this morning. I don't have the tickets yet, they're not on sale yet, but I paid the girl who's going to buy them for me. I decided to only go to two shows instead of three. The tickets are expensive, and I started freaking out about spending over $300 on concert tickets. I figure I can go on the first day, and the last day.
I'll use the day inbetween to like, relax. Because I don't know about you, but concerts tire me the fuck out. Especially Big Bang ones. Because you have to wait in line for SO FUCKING LONG (longer if you arrived early to get goods - normal wait time when you do that is 4-5 hours), in the freezing cold. And then you go inside where at least it's not windy, but you still have to stand (if you have a standing ticket), and wait some more. And then the concert is 2+ hours, and you stand the whole time (if you can't tell, I've never actually had a seat before), possibly jumping around, while being crowded in by a million other girls, and then the concert is over, and you stand and wait some more for them to let you out, where upon exiting, you stand in line AGAIN (if you decided to use the coat check place they have, which is likely, since if you're in the standing section, you can't take your bag in). And then you walk to the station, where you stand because all the seats are taken. Same with the subway. So it's whole fucking day of non-stop standing. In the cold.
... If you can't tell, I don't like standing for long periods of time. I also don't like stairs. I like walking, and I like sitting. ANYTHING ELSE IS UNACCEPTABLE. If you ARE in a standing area, I recommend dosing yourself with some aspirin, or tylenol, or something because your body WILL ache (unless you're like, 18... in which case, fuck you and your not very damaged joints and stuff). Possibly a muscle relaxer. Maybe a bit of tranquilizer... (....joking.... maybe... I won't say the thought hasn't crossed my mind)
And THAT is why I decided to not only take a resting day, but to only do standing seats for one of the two days.
I'm not going to buy a lot of merchandise either. I'll probably go for the signed CD's if they have them (you have to get in line REALLY early for those. Like, REALLY early, at least 6-8 hours), and maybe one or two small things. I have way too much BB stuff as it is. But I do want the calendars. Or maybe just one. It's not like I actually used more than one of the SEVEN I bought last year. Yes. Seven.
IDK guys, I'm really tired suddenly. So maybe this isn't making sense?
Someone needs to give me a drama to watch. Something GOOD. Something fun, and romantic, and not angsty, because I'm not in the mood for that right now. Also, preferably Japanese or Taiwanese. REC ME SHIT.
Blaaah. Tired.
(Sorry about all the swearing. I generally try to tone it done on LJ, but I've been spending a lot of time on twitter recently (where I tend to swear... a lot), so things are out of whack in my brain. Also, did I mention the tired?)

Date: 2011-01-15 07:02 pm (UTC)It's also the cold (virus) that made me think twice about standing that long for three consecutive days in the freezing weather. I don't think my body could take it. So even before reading this post of yours I was already thinking of telling you that I might revert to my original plan of taking a break for the second concert date. It's like we had an unconscious mind encounter or something. Amazing!
I wish I can rec you dramas. I haven't watched any Asian drama in a loooong time. I'm pretty interested in Secret Garden, though. Baby Panda would rec you that. :)
Gah, the tired. I blame it on the weather. That and we're not as young anymore.

Date: 2011-01-26 04:48 pm (UTC)I understand! Everytime I think about standing for HOURS in the midst of many many pushy fangirls, it makes me want to cry.
Hehe, great minds think alike! I honestly think that's the way to go. I don't think I could handle three straight days of all that standing around. Last year, while I only attended one concert, I went to the grounds every day. Even that was exhausting. I think it was partially the cold, and partially because it's HARD being in a place where you don't speak the language. Especially where they stare at you a lot.
I keep hearing raves about that drama! I should check it out eventually ;P
Tell me about it! I feel like an old person, complaining about how the cold is affecting my joints.
