Hot Topic Extremely Intimate?

Well today has been an exciting day for me. I woke up this morning earlier than usual, dumb early, like 4:45am in the morning. I haven't woke this earlier in a long time without much sleep. I have went to bed at 4:45am, before then sleeping until about 11 in the morning. I usually set my alarm clock. I think this is like how they wake up in the military, they wake up as probably as early as 4am too. I remember waking up that early for a previous job that didn't last long.

I woke up at 4:45am, and when you wake up that early you just always feel like you shouldn't be awake yet. But, I knew if I wanted to have a chance at seeing TAI, I had to move. So, after that, I put on my jeans, shirt and reversible gray/black jacket, and the long black coat on top of it because it was cold. The coat is too long for me, but who cares as long as it keeps your warm. So after that, I ate a bagel, cereal, banana, and got ready to drive down the road. I have to get some gas before i went so that slowed me down, and I used the gps system, that is just one of the most amazing pieces of technology, one of my best friends. I wish I would have bought one sooner, it helps. It was actually 6:05 when I got on the finally got out of town onto to highway no. 1, so when I check the gps it said that I would get there at approximately 6:40am. So, I drove and finally got to my destination at 6:46am, because I passed the mall, it still looked like it was still night at 6:30am in the morning. So, I entered and then I didn't see anyone, but a few cars, it looked deserted, and there were not any lights on. I didn't think it was open, I was just thinking that the Hot Topic staff told me something that wasn't true. Then, I saw a some people going in and coming out, so then I decided to park the van, and go to the door to see if they were open. As I entered the doors, I was surprised that it was not well lit, these are the lights workplaces leave on overnight. I was like that was weird, but then I saw people in there walking, entering and exiting, not many people at that time in the morning just a few. I think it would perfect for powerwalking.

So, after I got in I was on my way to Hot Topic, it took me a while to find it but I found it. I knew this was the line when I saw people sitting outside of Hot Topic, and when I got there everyone was cool, and I was no.15. Then, pretty soon, one of the Hot Topic Hostesses, Jodie came out and greeted us and explained the whole game plan, like what we were supposed to do when they open, what time to arrive and everything. She tried to get them to open the store earlier but they couldn't. So, she just mingled with all of us until time. Just because they couldn't open earlier, she decided to buy the first 15 some breakfast from Chick Filet. I started not to get anything, but I decided to get the chicken mini, they said they were good, so I got those. I usually eat the grilled chicken, but this time I got the chicken mini. Also, I introduced myself to one of the girls that I see on the boards, she is notaprettygirl on the panic boards. I don't think she recognized me, because my hair was different, but we got to talk for a while. Then, as the hours passed the line increased. When I first got there the line was that long, only like 15 people, and it was a gradual increase. I am just so happy that I was number 15, and I came there not knowing that I was going to have a chance at seeing play that acoustic show. I'm keeping my wristband in my dashboard, so I will not forget it. I could put it in my top drawer, but it should be fine in there.

After they finally opened the doors, then somebody commented on the sign, which said that the show was going to be extremely intimate, I would say, because the Hot Topic is a small place. Then, after that, they started letting 5 people go in at a time, Jodie guided us through the whole process of choosing what you want, and then where to checkout. It was a hard decision for me, I didn't know whether to get that pretty colorful TAI shirt or The Cab's CD. I wish I could of bought both but I only could buy one. But, I think you could of came back later and purchased a second item if you wanted to. I couldn't decided so I asked a friend. Then, I told Jodie I need to take some time to decide. I couldn't help it the shirt was so pretty, I will buy the Cab just because they are on the tour. I know I should be saving dinero, but don't people like to drink their beer and smoke their cigarettes. Think how much money they would save if they didn't. Well, I'm wasting my few extra dollars on music. After that, went to the checkout, still not thinking that I made the right decision.
