and we didn’t want to be rude so we stopped. We were in an ok spot, but it would have been nice to be closer. The Asking Alexandria walked onto the stage about fifteen minutes later after we got there. “Every breath you take, I watch you slip away! You’re slowly killing yourself! I WON’T GIVE IN!” We were all screaming, yelling, or singing the lyrics to “ I Won’t Give In” with Denis the lead singer. Later during “A Prophecy” I was singing along and all of a sudden a crowd surfer fell on me. On his way down he accidentally kicked me in the face right below my eye. I can tell you that really hurt but for some reason I was laughing.

She was so distraught she just left. Her ancestors lived in Croatia and she wanted to understand more about her family. Many people like Jennifer Wilson…

We have a lot of things in common from personality to likes and dislikes. We found out that we both like anime, Brandon’s favorite being Bleach. I had never seen Bleach before so sometime in February (2016) we hung out for the first time and watched Bleach and played video games till 10 at night. He was a very worthy Mario Kart opponent, best I have played against in a long while. We hung out for 6 hours that night. I would be lying if I said I didn’t love it. His girlfriend on the other hand…
