Ok, well, Friday, December 1, i went to the MCR (My Chemical Romance) concert. The concert was awesome, but come on people. Be considerate. The last thing I needed on a night as cool as that was for some jerk to spill beer all over my friend and having to cuss out some girl for rubbing her ass all over me. Then all I want is a drink to keep myself from dehydrating and I get hit on by way to many idiots at the bar. Now,look, talking to me is fine, butthe key word is LOOK. Dont touch me. Unless you have known me for a while, don't grab me, touch me, or anything, because trust me, I'll get mad. I dont need some freaky weirdo grabbing my arm and attempting to drag me off with him and his buddy. Yeah, that's really not a good idea. I really will kill you. So basically, the point of this is to say: When your at a concert, don't spill your alchohol on teenagers or attempt to molest young girls. You never now how many of them are carrying knives.
