double a to the r to the o to the n

yup. i'm nearly 18 and i spent my friday night at an aaron carter concert. well, aaron carter and jordan knight.
it was around 5 yesterday, i was in my pajamas, on the couch, and hunkering down for my third episode of gilmore girls season 2. the phone rings. it's kelsey. here's a breif recap of the conversation:
"do you want to party tonight?"
"umm... where?"
"um, my mom got aaron carter tickets."
"um, i'm in my pajamas already."
"yea, me too."
"um . .. what the hell? why not?"
"cool, i'll see you around 7."
so there i was, skipping out on my couch to hang out with 12 year olds. i had no idea what i was getting myself into - i knew maybe one aaron carter song, and frankly, thought he was talentless. jordan knight ... he was on the surreal life, right? umm ... ok?
we got there and found ourselves face to face with lots of children dancing by the radio disney stand. ok, so we joined in for the chacha slide ... and there were cute guys in burberry ties at the concession stand (yes that does make the glow necklace worth $2).
the opening act - wil heuser - was absolutely awful! he couldn't really sing ... he really couldn't dance ... his fashion ... well, let's just say that kels and i both wanted his red blazer ... oh yea, and he had a song about pumping gas. i shit you not.
at that point, it was looking like we should have stayed on the couch. but we amused ourselves through sarcasm and cynicism and plots to get backstage (those included everything from flirting with the bouncer to scaling the curtain).
then jordan knight came out. ok, not insanely talented, but we got some old school new kids on the block tunes ... we just danced like crazy and things were seeming pretty damn fun. then came surprise guest jeff timmons from 98 degrees. the 12 year old girl within freaked out.
intermission. contemplation of visiting the concession stand again ...
aaron carter. wow. ok, still not a great singer ... but not entirely tone deaf either. and honestly, who cares when you see him dance? backflips off the speakers, incredible breakdancing moves .. and it was a long set, so talk about endurance. i stand corrected - he has talent. not neccessarily musical, but he can really move. he can entertain.
kels and i have been talking about going out dancing for a while now .. well, we danced all night to silly pop music. close enough for me! and if nothing else, it was a break from the deathly monotony of late.
and it just shows how kels and i can have fun no matter what crazy situation life throws us into. tonightm we tackle the hockey game . . .
